Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Lake Forest, CA covered by United Healthcare

I will be your biggest and loudest supporter and advocate. I use a little bit of humor, mixed in with kindness, and a whole lot of warmth to help you dig deep into your story. Together, we'll challenge the stories you tell yourself about your life, your experience, and society. I have extensive experience working with folks experiencing anxiety/depression, work burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and folks exploring their identity (all identities are absolutely welcomed here!)

Hello! Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, angry, or maybe in a funk and not sure why? You are not alone! I work with many teens and young adults in the same boat and am excited to work with you to get yourself back on track and feeling good. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Certified Case Manager with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with a focus on the teen population since 2001 such as wilderness therapy programs, high schools/boarding schools and rehabilitation/psychiatric hospitals.

I enjoy helping teens and young adults up to 30-ish years of age find their own path and believe that everyone has many answers within themselves. Sometimes these answers are hard to find when life gets in the way. With some self reflection, new awareness and processing it's exciting to see how things can begin to change with some new perspective and development of new stories we tell ourselves. As a result of this work, our lives moving forward can be elevated and begin to move in the right direction. I am honored to help clients in their journey to find peace, inspiration and motivation to be the best they can be!

Please note for clients in the Truckee/Tahoe area option for in person (in addition to virtual)

Hi. I've been working as a therapist for 9 years. I have my AA in Sociology from Miracosta College, my BA in Psychology from Cal State Long Beach, and my MSW (Master of Social Work) from Cal State San Marcos. I assist people in dealing with stress from work, relationships, etc. I help people process unresolved trauma, grief, etc. I can help utilize the strengths you have, develop new strengths, in helping you live the most meaningful life in what that means to you.

Making the decision to begin therapy can feel difficult, and I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your experiences openly.

I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Even when we know we want things to change, it can sometimes feel difficult to understand why we continue to experience the same thoughts, emotions, or relationship struggles. Therapy can help bring greater awareness and understanding while creating opportunities for meaningful change.

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and meeting each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My role is to walk alongside you, help you gain insight into yourself, and support you in creating a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I have been practicing therapy for over 15 years. I graduated from San Diego State in 2005 and have helped people work through problems ranging from anxiety and depression, to relationship and health problems. I have worked in residential and intensive outpatient programs but for the past 5 years I have been providing therapy through Telehealth. Mostly I have found people to be astounding in their strength and resiliency and have greatly enjoyed being part of their growth process.

Hello, I'm Dr. Chris Norris. If you feel stuck in patterns you understand but can't seem to change—whether that's anxiety, depression, forms of addiction, workplace stress, marital stress, or the daily challenges of living with social communication challenges, autism, or ADHD—I can help.

For more than 36 years, I've helped people make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. I've done this work in schools, crisis shelters, recovery centers, and private practice, and today I also train future clinicians at Pepperdine University.

Lifelong learning is one of my core values. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Behavior Analyst, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and National Certified Counselor. My background allows me to bring together talk therapy and the science of behavior in our work. We'll look not only at what you're thinking and feeling, but at the patterns that keep problems going—and what you can realistically do differently to create change that lasts.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

******Our office will reach out to schedule an appointment with you once you request a consultation. We provide appointments and not consults with providers.

Jamie Miskell is a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She earned her Master of Science degree from the University of Louisville. She also possesses a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Hartford. She is committed to empathic and lasting relationships with her clients.

I believe that therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to understand challenges, build on strengths, and foster lasting growth. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling stuck, I am here to support you through the process.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

I have 15 years of experience as a therapist. You are all so unique. I love hearing each person's story. It enables me to be more specific in sessions. I like to work collaboratively. I want to know what you need at this point in your life. I welcome feedback. I attended U.S.C. as an undergrad and I attended California State University Los Angeles for my Masters degree in Psychology. I think everyone deserves to be happy. If I can be of assistance to you, that is my goal.
