Find a Therapist in California AO

Hey I’m Ace and I’m glad you’re here. 

Life isn't always easy and sometimes we find ourselves feeling lonely, confused, and unsure about the future. Dealing with feelings and balancing the pressures of life can be overwhelming at times, but if you are reading this, you are taking a step toward relief. Breath. You’ve arrived at a safe space where you are free to come as you are. As your therapist, my purpose is to support your journey toward mental wellness. Together we will explore, process, and dive into the challenges of your life to overcome obstacles that stand in your way. 

As for me, I’m a first-generation Nigerian-American, queer, woman, born and raised in Northern California. I studied Women’s and Gender Studies at Sacramento State and earned my Masters of Social Work at California State University, San Bernardino. I’m currently pursuing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Fielding Graduate University. I love traveling, reading, listening to music, and relaxing in front of the water as often as I can. 

My purpose in life has been to heal myself so that I can assist others who seek to do the same. My personal experiences, cultural identities, and professional background have guided my own journey, and have equipped me with the ability to support yours, especially if you have concerns regarding: 

·  Sexuality · Gender Expression · Relationships (platonic, romantic, and non-monogamous) 

·  Family Dynamics · Trauma (personal and intergenerational) · Cultural Influences (ethnic/racial issues, immigration, first-generation American status, transracial adoption, privilege/oppression) ·  Academics/Career · Substance-use · Eating/Weight · Grief Loss · Dying  

·  Overall self-discovery 

You are a unique person with personal experiences that make you who you are, so my therapeutic approach prioritizes acceptance, non-judgment, and growth by drawing from psychodynamic therapy and other evidenced-based practices with holistic/alternative frameworks.

I can’t wait to get to know you and see where you’ll go on your journey! 

Hi, I am Robert. Welcome to The Center of Resiliency. I bring to you excellent educational credentials, significant experience in counseling, and personal maturity.

My work history entails working with adults, teens, and couples. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, depressive disorders, codependency, mid-life crises, dual-diagnosed clients, clients with narcissism, bipolar disorders, dissociative disorders, and trauma and stressor related disorders. I create a warm and accepting environment for you to explore your strengths and troubles. My client-centered therapeutic approach is informed by

Psychosynthesis and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies. Psychosynthesis aims to integrate subpersonalities from the higher (strengths), middle, and lower unconscious. We may conduct inner child work, reclaim shamed gifts, and challenge abusive internal others.

I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy contemplating, AAA games, snowboarding, and taking care of my cat in my spare time.

My graduate work at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology included studies in Buddhist Psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, Psychosynthesis, and spiritual guidance. I will happily teach you

how to meditate if a need for meditation is indicated. We will work with whatever you bring.

Hi, I’m Stanley — welcome to the Center of Resiliency. I’m a dedicated mental health professional with a passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve emotional well-being. With over 12 years of experience in the field, I strive to make meaningful contributions to the mental health community through expertise, compassion, and a genuine commitment to fostering positive change.

My Approach

I take an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward healing and growth. I work with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, anger management, couples’ conflict, and everyday life stressors. My areas of interest include children, teens, individuals, couples, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I also incorporate approaches such as Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation (BA), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support clients in achieving meaningful, lasting change.

A Little About Me:

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy going to the gym, playing golf, and traveling with friends and family. I find great fulfillment in experiencing new cultures and learning from diverse perspectives. Whether I’m engaging in hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing personal growth, I bring the same dedication and passion that define my work as a therapist.

I am deeply committed to helping others find hope, healing, and resilience. Through compassionate care and a client-centered approach, I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those navigating mental health challenges.
