Healing and Empowerment Counseling Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Teri Dunbar, LCSW
Are you a parent of a child that has experienced trauma and don’t want that experience to dictate the course of their life?
I help adolescents, young adults, and adults that have experienced trauma and are experiencing feelings of shame, anger, detachment, anxiety, and depression, and having a difficult time in their relationships, work, and day to day life. I help them to overcome and cope with such feelings, and empower them to have the life they want through healing from their past traumas.
I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced stressful or dangerous events such as child abuse, domestic violence, the loss of a parent, parents that have struggled with substance abuse or mental illness, or just multiple bad days strung together.
It can be hard to know where to start and almost impossible to start alone. I would love to help guide you through this process. I am only offering virtual therapy at this time. Please send me an email and I follow-up with a phone call to discuss how I may be able to help.

I have been working with children and adolescents since 1981. I have worked in research on ADD/ADHD and have years of experience with positive behavior modification interventions. I have written several children's self-help books and believe kids deserve to have coping skills for their emotions and personal interactions. www.amazon.com/author/loisnightingale

Do you feel like you don’t really know your child or teen anymore? Is your child or teen acting differently than they used to? Do you feel like something is going on inside of them but they won’t open up to you? Are they acting out in ways that are disruptive at school, home or in life in general? If your attempts to get through to them leave you feeling more and more frustrated and lost, sometimes bringing in a caring professional can help. Getting your child or teen the help they need is the most loving thing to do. Whatever the reason you are considering counseling for your child, teen or family, I believe I can help. No matter how wonderful a parent you are or how much you love your child or teen, sometimes they may find it easier to open up to someone outside of the family circle. If you feel that your child needs therapy, that does not mean you’ve failed as a parent. In fact, it means you are a caring parent, because you recognize their need and are trying to get them help.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Historically I worked a lot with children and adolescents. In recent years I have shifted away from working with young kids but still work with quite a number of adolescents. Very often this work involves meeting individually with the teen, but often too do I also hold sessions with the teen and their parent. Other times, I coach parents of teens without necessarily working directly with the teen themselves. My approach tends to involve helping adolescents learn to make healthy decisions by assisting them in thinking through their choices, consequences, and essentially assisting them in becoming more effective in finding strategies that will get them the results they want while minimizing negative outcomes. In general I avoid sharing much information about them with their parents directly unless there is a concern about safety. Rather, my approach is to help the teen to communicate with their parents themselves. When it would be helpful I often help the teen to have these healthier communications with there parents in family therapy sessions. As a parenting coach, I try to assist parents in shifting to age appropriate parenting strategies when possible.
