My name is Amy, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in individual, couple, and family therapy. My experience encompasses more than 25 years of providing services in the mental health field. I am passionate about helping others and dedicated to bringing awareness to mental health needs. Life can bring many joys, but it can also bring challenges and struggles. Sometimes these challenges are overwhelming and impact different parts of our life such as our relationships and our self-care. Therapy can be a positive support to help you manage and work through your struggles to find hope, healing, and connection. Seeking help is a courageous step toward your healing. I would be honored to support you in this process. I believe in a "whole person" approach to utilize your strengths, help you gain control of your life, and regain balance. I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I use an eclectic approach that encompasses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Art and Play Therapy, Family Systems, and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques. I will work collaboratively with you to personalize your treatment to help you meet your mental health goals.

AREAS OF SUPPORT
In Our Therapy Services
At South Coast Community Services in California, we provide comprehensive and compassionate support in various areas to help individuals and families thrive. Our experienced team of therapists can assist with a wide range of challenges, including child behavior and attitudes. We understand that navigating the complexities of childhood can be overwhelming, and our therapists are here to help in guiding children toward positive emotional and behavioral development.
Conflict resolution within families is another area in which our therapy services can be instrumental. We recognize that conflicts and disagreements are natural parts of family dynamics, and our therapists are skilled in facilitating healthy communication and problem-solving techniques within the family unit. By addressing conflicts in a supportive and constructive manner, we aim to strengthen family relationships and foster a harmonious and loving environment.
Grief is a complex and deeply personal experience, and our therapists are equipped to provide compassionate support during times of loss and mourning. We understand that grief can manifest in various ways, and our therapy services offer a safe and understanding space for individuals to process their emotions and find healing. Our therapists are here to lend a listening ear, offer guidance, and help navigate the grieving process with empathy and care.
Supportive & Non-judgmental
Therapy Space
Mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, are areas in which our therapy services excel. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches to address these conditions and provide effective strategies for managing symptoms. We offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, improve coping skills, and work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) can present unique challenges for individuals and their families. Our therapy services can provide valuable support for individuals diagnosed with ADHD, offering strategies and coping mechanisms to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. With a personalized and tailored approach, our therapists collaborate with individuals to help them thrive in various aspects of life while working with the strengths and challenges associated with ADHD.
An Inside Look At
Our Therapy Process
Our family therapy is another form of mental health service that focuses on small groups of people as opposed to the individual. While our non-profit counseling experts often encourage open communication between individuals in a family, the overall goal is to strengthen relationships and promote better understanding between everyone involved. This area of our mental health services is designed to help develop and maintain healthy boundaries between family members, fiancés, and spouses. At South Coast Community Services, we focus on problem-solving and helping patients move through problem-solving steps in their interpersonal relationships. Contact us anytime to get started with therapy!
When To Consider
Therapy & Counseling
