Find a Therapist near Rolling Hills Estates, CA

Hi! I’m Corrie and I’m a psychodynamic therapist who works with people who feel disconnected from the life they would like to live. During our therapy sessions, you get a chance to talk, troubleshoot, work through unprocessed feelings, role-play, examine unconscious patterns or factors that may be hindering you, investigate yourself and your relationships, while building coping skills for living a life that feels more aligned and meaningful to you. My approach is direct, compassionate, curious, and strength-based. While I’m passionate about helping people recovering from emotional abuse, I also work with young professionals who feel stressed out navigating relationships (marriage, dating, divorce), career, and. I also have specialized training working with children and teens.

Many of my clients come to therapy for help with relationships, and are frustrated that they repeat patterns but don't have an alternative. I believe relationships are central to life and I also know that much of what we learn about how to relate comes from childhood. Often we've outgrown certain ways of interacting, but it can be hard to know what or how to do things differently. My approach to therapy is collaborative and leans heavily on curiosity. I don't see therapy as a place to "get fixed" but a place to explore, learn, and embrace who you are. In order to do things differently, we need to understand ourselves, and this requires an open, non-judgmental a mind. Of course it can feel difficult and even scary to learn about yourself or discover new things, so I will work at your pace and refer to you as the expert on your experiences. I have great respect for our ability to heal and grow if given the opportunity and a safe space to do so. I believe we are all capable of living a life that aligns with who we authentically are, not the person we created to make the world happy.

My approach to helping individuals is based on respect, validation, and acknowledgement of their experiences and struggles in life. Finding a person that can accept us despite our life choices is often difficult. Feelings of judgment, insecurity, and guilt may prevent many from breaking free from their past and moving forward. This stress may often appear not just psychologically but also physiologically (somatization) through frequent illness, etc. The process of breaking free is often lonely and intimidating. I will support you through your unique journey of moving forward and achieving the confidence you need to thrive and feel empowered. I will also help you better understand how stress may be impacting your physical health and ways of shifting this cycle.

I use an attachment-based perspective called emotionally focused therapy to help you have a better understanding of your emotions so that you can be more secure with yourself and more confident in expressing yourself and your needs to others. I believe in the power that comes from being your most authentic self, so I often make use of self-disclosure to help you see what it looks like to put theory into action, and clients often share how meaningful it is to them to feel like they have a therapist who can relate and understand them. In our first session, my focus will be to get a general picture of who you are and begin collaborating on goals for our therapy journey together. Overall, my general hope is that you will learn: What your attachment style is, how it has developed, create a new, positive inner child voice that you no longer feel criticized or defeated by; and that you will develop a secure attachment style in order for you to pursue your most authentic self and have lasting, joyful, satisfying relationships.

Life is a rollercoaster of emotions, events, and unexpected twists. My goal as a therapist is to create a judgment-free, safe space where you can fully express yourself and embark on the journey toward your true self. I work collaboratively with you to cultivate a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Using a strengths-based approach, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. I aim to equip you with the tools and coping skills necessary to thrive through psychoeducation and ongoing support. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating life’s challenges. My clinical experience includes addressing depression, grief and loss (including death, the end of relationships, and major life transitions), and trauma. I am proudly a part of the first responder family and know the struggles that come with the job. Additionally, I support couples in enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, managing life transitions, and navigating through cultural differences. Let’s work together to help you find balance, clarity, and resilience as you face life’s challenges.

Are you feeling frustrated, stuck and distant from your partner? Do you and your partner have frequent arguments that don't ever get resolved? Are you tired of walking on eggshells at home? Relationships can be challenging, especially if it's been tense for awhile. I help couples move from conflict to connection by helping the rebuild trust, create emotional safety, and learn to communicate better. During our initial appointments we will explore the challenges in your relationship that are keeping you both stuck. We will develop a treatment plan which include assignments, in-session exercises, and evidence-based tools that fit your unique situation. Usually our clients are in therapy for about 12-24 sessions before completing treatment successfully. Reach out to schedule your free video or phone consultation today!

My approach is warm, empathic, and interactive, and I tailor sessions to meet your unique needs. Together, we will explore your personal values so you can make choices that feel authentic—rather than fear-based—and create a more meaningful, fulfilling life. I specialize in: • Anxiety therapy (generalized anxiety, panic, stress management) • Life transitions (divorce, dating, premarital counseling, marriage, career shifts, parenting changes) • Depression and relationship issues I believe that healthy relationships with others begin with building a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself. My goal is to help you reduce anxiety, gain insight, and move toward lasting change.

My goal is a provide a compassionate space for clients the better understand themselves, gain clarity, and develop skills for growth. For over 15 years, I have provided individual, family, and couples counseling to clients across the lifespan. I use an integrative approach with an emphasis on multicultural theories to create a collaborative process where clients can explore solutions in a supportive environment. “There are many ways to get to nine.” While the desired outcome of therapy can be universal, the path taken to get there will be uniquely yours. I use a diverse set of evidence-based practices to help us find the right path for you.

I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial to successful therapy. If you are in distress over a relationship difficulty, experiencing anxious or depressing feelings, or your child is having difficulty in school, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use an interpersonal and developmental perspective but am also able to work from a different approach when conditions call for one. I am experienced in helping people with their thought processes as they encounter the problems and challenges of life. I work with individual adults and adolescents.

I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you identify and resolve unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. You might be feeling stuck due to becoming emotionally disconnected from your partner, experiencing a traumatic event, or struggling to perform at your optimal level at work. You want to rediscover intimacy, purpose, and joy. Let me join you in developing effective coping skills to manage life's daily challenges.
