Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Yucca Valley, CA covered by Cigna

Hi there, my name is Jennifer and I have 10+ years of experience helping those dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression.

I am experienced with conducting and treating PTSD and am also experienced in diagnosing and treating a culturally diverse population of adults and children.

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.

Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve been trying to manage everything on your own. I work with adults and adolescents who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure of what to do next. You may be navigating depression, trauma, relationship or family challenges, grief, stress, or a difficult transition in your life. Whatever brings you in, you don’t have to have it all figured out. I’m warm, approachable, and genuinely interested in understanding your experience, not judging it. I want therapy to be a place where you can exhale, be yourself, and feel like you don’t have to carry everything alone.

Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck. Maybe something in your life doesn’t feel quite right, but you’re not sure how to change it. If you’ve found yourself at this point, you may already know that you want something to feel different. You just may not know where to start.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Marisa Schimmel, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my Master’s Degree from University of Southern California. Over the past decade, I have worked with individuals, children, youth, and families, helping people navigate challenges that can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves or from the people we love. I became a therapist because I genuinely value the opportunity to help people during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful

moments of their lives.

I have 15+ years of experience working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, both directly and indirectly. My specialty is those going through a loss, suffered emotional trauma, or are victims of violence. Unaddressed individual trauma can often lead to anxiety, depression and difficulties in developing / maintaining loving relationships. Couples can struggle with unhealthy patterns of communication and need alternative tools to better understand each other. With a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach I support clients facing issues such as anxiety, grief, life changes and relationship challenges.

With 10 years of dedicated practice, I am deeply passionate about my work as a therapist. Whether you are navigating stress, loss, life changes, or coping with challenges that have taken a toll on you, therapy provides a nurturing environment for healing and personal growth. As a therapist, I approach each individual with an open mind, compassion, and a commitment to empowerment and holistic well-being.

Deep listening is a gift that empowers individuals to reflect and change

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in the same relationship cycles, disconnected with others or yourself, or unsure what to do next. Maybe you are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a difficult season in your life and simply need a space where you don't have to have it all together or figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, be seen, and begin making sense of what you have been experiencing.

I have experiencing working with teens, young adults, families, and couples using attachment-based approaches, meeting each person with curiosity, compassion, and free of judgment.

You don't have to have everything figured out, you just have to be willing to take the first step.

Hi there! My name is Abrianna Gift and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of experience and I would love to chat with you to see if we would be a good fit.

Hi, I'm Taniesha, a Licensed Mental Health therapist (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals and couples experience deeper emotional healing and healthier relationships. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns; especially those navigating relationship challenges, past wounds, and emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients desire not just change, but true healing that transforms how they show up in their relationships.

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.
