French Therapists in Venice, CA

Bonjour! Vous recherchez une psychothérapeute française qui exerce en Californie et travaille en Français et en Anglais? J’aide les expats francophones en Californie à faire face aux défis qui accompagnent toute migration. Après avoir grandi en France dans une famille biculturelle et avoir immigré en Californie il y a presque dix ans, j'ai acquis un point de vue unique qui me permet d'aider les gens à traverser des transitions difficiles et tout ajustement culturel.

Rather than list my technical skills or present a diatribe about my approach to psychotherapy, I will tell you a few significant facts about myself and the work we will do together. I have been providing treatment for 30 years. My clients improve, they recover, and they heal. I assist people who suffer from anxiety and depression through insight and introspection focused on the analysis of a patient’s deep-seeded fear-related trauma and how that fear impacts the NOW . I focus on channeling the energy that can be harnessed from fear, a powerful human emotion that can rob us of our life energy.

You are not alone in your struggle. You are not the only one with an inner voice telling you you’re not good enough or you are unlovable. It is a challenge to deal with nagging thoughts that always tell you to look out for the worst case scenario. These feelings and thoughts have a tendency to get in the way of the things that you want to be doing. You feel too exhausted and unmotivated to sign up for a new workout class, join a book club, take surfing lessons, or put yourself in a situation to make new friends.

If you're struggling to heal your relationship with your body or food, I'm here to help. I’m passionate about helping clients gain awareness of patterns that may be keeping them stuck in shame or anxiety and find ways to implement changes that are more in line with their goals. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and identify ways to adjust so you can live a balanced and fulfilling life. We will lean on your strengths and values to guide our work and find sustainable solutions that feel right for you.

As a certified (IAAP) Jungian analyst I have a passion to work with three specific groups: 1. Men and women, aged 35 - 65, who are experiencing a Mid - Life Crises/Transition, often accompanied by depression and anxiety, and a loss of meaning in life. 2. Young men and women, aged 19 - 34, who are experiencing a "Quarter Life Crises," searching for a more soulful life in work, relationships and beyond. 3. Therapists who want to incorporate Jungian analysis and dream work into their practices, and also those who may want to enter training to become a Jungian analyst. .

When you're depressed, anxious or struggling in a difficult relationship being able to move through the world in an authentic way can feel almost impossible, especially when experiencing fertility and other stress related issues. I offer a safe environment to allow you to express yourself without judgment. I will work with you to understand how you are able to create a healthier, happier, more meaningful life. I have seen how the process of psychotherapy that I employ can help people change their state of being and working towards their best version of themselves as human beings.

I provide supportive therapy services to clients struggling with all kinds of issues, and all different levels of functioning. Whether you have several issues you wish to process in just a few sessions with an objective ear, or you have just been released from higher psychiatric levels of care, I have space and availability for you. I am very flexible sometimes seeing clients online or in person, sometimes once per month or once per week. My ideal clients strongly desire to change their lives, explore parts of themselves, or use our time and space to build on the hard work they have already done.

Individuals in conflict with a family member or relationship partner (intimate, work, social) may feel stuck in a no-win situation. If communicating about the problem is THE PROBLEM, neutral and collaborative, Effective mediation can help. By involving all participants in a positive process, acknowledging and equalizing communication of needs and concerns, and building the solutions from and for every person involved, listening with determined curiosity helps clients find mutually-acceptable peaceful solutions.

When you find yourself at a Crossroads in your life, it is often the best time to come into therapy to address the issues that are troubling you.

Since each client is unique, my therapy approach is designed just for you and your specific needs. Research has shown a correlation between Mental Health and Physical Health, so an approach addressing both could lead to the ultimate therapeutic results. A holistic approach will best serve you in dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional relationship issues. This is what I specifically do.

Do you find yourself at a loss for how to cope with your circumstances? You may find yourself in repetitive cycles or re-experiencing similar conflicts. In our work, we can explore how your internal world influences the external, and help you to name and integrate feelings and experiences that can be challenging to identify alone. Depression, anger, anxiety, or other feelings that are driving you to seek therapy are all messages to you. Together, we can begin to understand them.

The challenges of growing up in today's rapidly changing society are enormous. Children need to be equipped with skills for survival and growth that were never before imagined. I focus on teaching self-healing and self-control techniques that empower youth to develop the emotional skills necessary for a happy and successful life and realize their potential throughout their lifetime. Using the positive power of their imagination, children learn to reduce stress, deal effectively with anger and frustration, reduce stomachaches, headaches, and tics, cope with divorce and death, reduce parental and sibling conflicts, increase concentration, sleep peacefully, and more.
