Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Fontana, CA covered by Cigna

Are you feeling stuck, fearful, hopeless, or uncomfortable with yourself or your relationships? Pain is unavoidable, but I can help you carry that burden as we work towards solutions together.

I am Dr. Bonnie Blackman, PhD, MA in Psychology, and a licensed therapist. For over 30 years, I work with both children and adults. My aim is to create a non-judgmental, supportive space as we navigate your concerns and fears to find safe, secure, and comfortable solutions.

I've been in private practice for 12 years and work with young adults aged18 - 30. I’ve always been interested in the way our experiences, relationships, beliefs, and thought patterns shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This interest led me to begin my career by working with an anti-human trafficking organization providing resources and aftercare services for rescued and recovered teen girls. I’ve also worked for local school districts as a high school special education crisis counselor and in-class behavior interventionist.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and continuing to learn about health and whole-person wellness.

I have completed a MA in Counseling Psychology. I have worked with diverse populations covering many issues. My approach is client focused through active listening skills and empathic support.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers a compassionate space for you to slow down, process, and reconnect to yourself and the ones you care about.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.

Sometimes you don’t need someone to simply ask, “And how does that make you feel?” You need a therapist who can listen, understand the bigger picture, help you connect the dots, and work with you on what to actually do next.

That’s the kind of space I strive to provide.

I work with adults who may look like they’re holding everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, angry, disconnected, grieving, or simply tired of carrying so much. Some of my clients come to therapy because of a specific crisis or life transition. Others arrive saying, “I don’t even know where to start—I just know something needs to change.” Both are perfectly valid places to begin.

I’ve dedicated much of my life to the mind body connection, holistic wellness and creating balance. I am fascinated by how small changes can make such a big impact on someone’s life. I work with individual clients.
