Psychoanalytic therapists in Los Osos, California CA
Psychoanalytic
Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFA, RPS
In life, we travel through the present moment while simultaneously being influenced by the past. At times this may feel confusing, jumbled, frightening or damn-near impossible.
Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going?
These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves -- the ones that keep us up at night. While I cannot answer these questions for you, through Psychoanalysis I can offer you the space to explore these deep questions and support you through your journey into yourself -- with all its twists and turns.
This is a collaborative process. Together we will take the plunge into your history, wade through experiences and relationship dynamics that have shaped your world, and dream of new possibilities and potentials that have until now remained out of reach.
Psychoanalysis is not easy, but nothing that touches the soul is. To quote Neville Symington, "Psychoanalysis is not for the person who has had a breakdown and just wants to start functioning again, because as the analysis proceeds he may have to revise his whole life and alter it radically. I think that psychoanalysis is for those who have a curiosity about life, but also wish to live it inwardly" (from The Psychoanalytic Experience).
If you wish to explore yourself in-depth and exist as your truest self, I invite you to contact me. I am accepting Clients virtually and in-person in Los Angeles, CA.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!

Psychoanalytic
Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.
