A bit about me: I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Chapman University in Orange, CA. Currently, I am an intern working towards a Master of Family Therapy (MFT) from UMass Global University. I am also a certified hypnotist by the International Hypnosis Federation (IHF).

In my downtime, I relish spending quality moments with my family and close friends, often enjoying meals out together. During my "me" time, you'll frequently find me immersed in music, practicing yoga, meditating, and occasionally indulging in retail therapy. I also love relaxing with some popcorn while watching my favorite TV shows or movies.

I look forward to working alongside you as you achieve your goals.

Hello & welcome. My name is Amy, and congratulations for turning curiosity into action toward your healing journey! 

I am here to provide you with a safe, open space to deeply explore all the parts & versions of you so you can begin to live the life you desire. Together, let's discover your strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between to help you feel confident in your ability to navigate through where you are and what you're going through.

I believe that if life guarantees anything, it is that we will experience change, challenges, and pain just as much as we do joy, happiness, and contentment. My goal is to empower you toward creating a version of yourself that is confident in your ability to navigate yourself throughout the vast waves of life in a healthy way. I strive to work with you to identify all the ways in which you are the authority of who you are, so we can create opportunities that help you achieve your healing goals. 

My therapeutic approach is always client-centered, culturally responsive, and strength based, utilizing an array of interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Theory (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Feminist Therapy. 

About Me: I'm from Whittier, CA and currently reside in Riverside County, CA. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from California State University, Fullerton and am working on a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from National University to become a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. 

In my life's work in helping others on their healing journey, I'm motivated by the idea of being able to ignite healing familial trauma on a generational level through working to heal one's own mind, body, and spirit. The journey of life is a bumpy one, and I am dedicated to applying the best methods I can to support others in wherever the road leads or has led them, so they can turn their pain into strength.

My dog Penny, practicing yoga, and being outside in nature are a few of my favorite things. I am one of four siblings and the eldest daughter in my family. During my free time I love to cook, go hiking, have a beach day, and see live music. 

Hello. I'm Cruz Elias Perez. 

Driven by a deep curiosity about the human spirit and our innate capacity for healing and growth, I am committed to providing a safe haven where individuals can explore their unique journeys. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a profound respect for your individual story.

I draw upon evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, and a holistic biopsychosocial understanding of well-being to empower you to create lasting positive change. My experience working with the military community and veterans has fostered a developing specialization in trauma-informed care. I have received specialized training from the VA, including a course on complementary, integrative, and alternative approaches for PTSD.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at Grand Canyon University to further my knowledge and enhance my therapeutic skills. My educational background includes a degree in Sociology from Montana State University, and I am proficient in navigating VA benefits claims, having successfully completed the TRIP program.

While my experience includes a focus on veterans, I am passionate about serving a diverse range of clients from all walks of life. With warmth and understanding, I create a safe space for clients to explore challenges honestly and openly. My approach blends direct communication with gentle guidance, fostering growth and self-discovery with compassion and a touch of humor.

I invite you to embark on a collaborative journey with me, where we work together towards healing, growth, and personal transformation.

Welcome, my name is Jessika. 

Providing a safe and accepting space is the core of my therapeutic practice. Having the opportunity to share and dissect our stories can be healing. I believe we have all viewed life through a unique lens and have our own experiential perspectives.

My intention is to cater to each individual holistically and tailor each session with multifaceted tools to support my client's goals. 

Trauma, chronic stress, fear, frustration, joy, worry, and grief can manifest in many forms.

I utilize strategies from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Soultion-Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and more holistic interventions.

Our mind, body, and emotions are so interconnected. Once we become aware of how our feelings and mental state can affect our physical body, we have the opportunity to learn more about ourselves and move through what is coming up for us. When balance is found within these realms, I truly feel that inner healing can take place. 

Achievements:

Received Bachelor of Arts from Arizona State University with a focus on Family Studies, Sociology, and Child Development.

Currently receiving my Masters in Counseling Psychology from National University to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

 I am a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Licensed Massage Therapist, and certified in Complex Trauma.

I have worked with Acupuncturists learning Chinese Medicine, Naturopathic Doctors, and Chiropractic Doctors over the last five years. I love curating medicinal herbal oils, medical grade herbal teas, gardening, and learning all about women’s health and wellness.

Hi! My name is Jackie!

I firmly believe that therapy serves as a crucial resource in your journey toward achieving the happiest and healthiest version of yourself. My passion lies in behavioral health and facilitating personal growth in others. I am dedicated to creating a secure and non-judgmental environment where you can reflect on your past, enabling you to make informed decisions and take meaningful actions in the present.

With extensive experience in addressing issues such as substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dysfunction, self-esteem challenges, and emotional regulation, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations facing a wide range of behavioral health issues, from adolescence through to later life stages. I also have experience assisting couples as they navigate the complexities of their relationship and work to strengthen the foundation of their partnership.

My preferred approach is Narrative Therapy. This is a form of therapy that allows for the client to share their life story. We will work together to deconstruct your experiences, externalize the problem at hand, work to problem solve together and make a plan for future growth. With this approach, I believe you are the main character of your story and remind you of the power you hold to be the hero of your story.

I have spent three years working in the IOP setting as well as have spent nearly two years working with the elderly in the retirement and memory care settings. I have acted as a group and individual client therapist in these roles. My experience has allowed me an opportunity to work with populations facing a wide array of behavioral health concerns spanning from adolescence to the late stages of life.

A little about me:  I am completing my final year as a DMFT student at Loma Linda University. I also have a MA in Education and Counseling. I have spent the last seven years dedicating myself to the field of behavioral health and helping others reach their healing goals.

Hey Everyone,  My name is Tierra! 

I'm thrilled that you've chosen to embark on the next stage of your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself. I firmly believe that everyone has a unique story, and while some may have faced more challenging beginnings than others, it's not about how it began, but the proactive steps you take to shape a brighter future. As individuals, we possess the power to make the necessary changes to break generational cycles and navigate through past and present traumas. As a therapist, my role is to let you take the lead and serve as a guide, helping you unlock and acquire the tools essential to navigate this journey we call life.

My focus extends to those grappling with Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem, PTSD, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), Sexual Abuse/Violence, Child Abuse, Abandonment, Substance Abuse, and Stress stemming from work, family, and life-related issues.

I am genuinely excited to join you on your personal journey of growth and healing as you strive to become the best version of yourself.

Hello

 I am Lee Chimuanya Okelue. Welcome to the Center of Resiliency and I am humbled and very excited to be working with you. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to meet with you.

My area of specialty is in multicultural psychotherapy, which is an extension of general psychology that acknowledges that a person's worldview is influenced by many aspects of their identity, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more. My interest in these cuts across a wide range of populations including adult individuals, young children, and groups. I meet with minorities and people of color, clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, and life transitions. 

My approach to therapy is eclectic. Eclectic psychology is a type of psychotherapy that uses a variety of therapeutic tools and techniques to meet the needs of each client. Eclectic therapy draws from many disciplines and uses a range of proven methods to determine the best combination of therapeutic tools for each patient. In this, I would create a safe, warm non-judgmental, respectful, and supportive space for you to be able to freely express yourself and learn your triggers and symptoms.

I would utilize person-centered (PCT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and existential therapy (ET) interventions. Every client is different, so every intervention used and applied would be tailored to each client's specific needs for optimum outcomes.

I would describe my education as more international. My early years of education started in my home country where I was taught the culture and values, I attended a private primary school and for junior high through to high school, I acquired my (GED) and high school diploma from a boarding school in my home country. I also acquired my bachelor's degree in humanities and then traveled to the United Kingdom (UK) to acquire my Early childhood learning and development certifications. I lived in Aberdeen Scotland and worked in an international school providing education, care, and services to children and their families in an early years education setting. Then I moved to Paris and got certification in therapeutic play techniques for working with children. Hence, I am very open to working with young children. So, I've been exposed to a variety of cultures and people.

 I am presently working towards my MFT/LPCC degrees with the National University and as an intern with the Center of Resiliency. 

I enjoy photography, traveling, and experiencing new cultures as a hobby. 

Again, I look forward to meeting You.

Lee.

I specialize in assisting individuals with their self-image, work and school stress, substance abuse, social anxiety, anxiety in general, parenting, as well as various types of relationship issues.  I have 10 years of experience with autism and 15 years of working with clients working with ADHD.  

A little background on me is I worked as a paraeducator and a behavior intern for a juvenile facility for 20 years. There I worked with juveniles helping them to find effective ways to communicate. As well as helping them apply different techniques or methods when handling and expressing their emotions. I also worked as a home visitor at the Children’s Institute. This job included case management, teaching advocacy, educating mothers on what to expect from a baby and helping her get comfortable in her role as a mother. I would visit enrolled families in their home at least twice per week to provide support for new mothers with newborn babies up to five years of age.

My goal is to provide a space where individuals can be themselves and openly express themselves without fear of judgement.

Hi! My name is Leticia Hernandez,  

As we all go through life figuring it out we are met with different challenges, experiences, and choices. As we try to do our best to be our best selves we realize it’s not as easy as we had hoped. Going through life without help can be incredibly difficult, demanding, and isolating. There is power in numbers and it’s easier to manage life with someone with you. Searching for help requires so much strength which I will welcome with a caring, open, and comfortable environment. I will be there with you every step of the way to support you in any way I can. 

I strongly believe that where there is a will there's a way! If someone desires to make changes in their life and is willing to work towards it, they will achieve it. My goal is to work alongside you as we collaborate in understanding the obstacles in your life and the best ways to help you get closer to the life you desire.

I am looking forward to us making life more manageable, seeing where this journey takes us, and getting to do life together.      

 I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, San Bernardino. Before pursuing my master’s degree I worked in clinics and schools with children, teens, and adults with disorders such as autism, ADHD, etc. I am pursuing my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Loma Linda University while interning at The Center of Resiliency Therapy & Counseling. I currently live in California and have lived here my whole life. 

In my free time, my activities always depend on my mood. If I’m feeling tired I will take time for myself and watch movies, spend time outside, and read. If I am energized I will spend time with family and friends by going out to eat, watch movies, shop, or travel. 

Hello there! My name is Paige Hopkins.

Thank you for being here and taking this next step into therapy. My job is to remind you to live in the present and make your future what you want it to be. 

“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” -Søren Kierkegaard

“This journey has to start at the only place it can- where you are right now. Step into this moment and radically accept where you are right now as being the absolute perfect place you are meant to be” -Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.

I work with children, adolescents, or adults, with social and/or generalized anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, stress management, relationship issues, anger management, life transitions, burn out, and self-care. 

I use many approaches to therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help navigate your emotional and behavioral challenges effectively by analyzing unwanted thought patterns and turning them into positive aspects. In addition to CBT, I incorporate elements of art and play therapy, to create a holistic and creative therapeutic environment. I would include spiritual practices in my sessions if desired by allowing you as my client to be your own expert in therapy through transpersonal exploration. This incorporates nature with mind and body connections. I use evidence-based techniques to explore emotions and look at our connection with the world. I aim to empower individuals to overcome challenges, discover inner strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.

About me: I am from Southern California and have loved the close access to beaches so much I moved to be closer to them. I am a person who loves nature and gives it my all in every aspect. I received my bachelor's degree at University of California, San Diego in general psychology which began my journey into helping others. I have always had a passion to support others in any way possible. Following my undergrad, I worked with children on the autism spectrum using behavioral techniques for 3 years until starting my path into the education system. I am currently working on my master’s in counseling to be a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) through National University. I enjoy anything involving nature such as hiking and sunsets. I also have hobbies in drawing, painting, and playing video games when I have the chance. Practicing self-care is one of my most important ways to live peacefully. I love the concept of smell, as I have an obsession with essential oils, particularly lavender. I look forward to working with you and being with you on this journey!
