Los Angeles, California therapist: Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support, life coach
CFT

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We have 14 + years of experience supporting folks with Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery. We recognize dehumanization and exploitation are part of a capitalist ideology and colonial and imperial strategies and abuses are perpetrated by people affected with that mindset, and can take the form of abuse within the family, the workplace, groups, and other relational dynamics where power over may be abused/misused to transgress. We recognize when violence is happening anywhere to one being, it is likely happening elsewhere, so we only work with people committed to anti-oppression and ending abuse and subjugation everywhere! We are skilled and certified in complex trauma work, parts work including: TIST - Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (Janina Fisher's Work), IFS -- Internal Family Systems; trained in IPNB, Bonnie Badenochs Dyadic Parts Work, EFIT, SensoriMotor... Certified in Somatic and Creative Trauma Recovery Support and Intersectional and Social Justice Frameworks, Multi-generational/historic trauma and wisdom Support, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, SSP, CranioSacral -- please see our listing at Upledger Institute, distance TCM, herbalism and homeopathy support, Relational/Mediation/Partners/Couples work certification, Energy Work, Sidereal Astrology integration as asked for, and Integrated Ethnotraditional Healing Ways. We have also completed the two year fellowship for Functional Psychiatry through Psychiatry Redefined and review ISEAI and NORMI info, so we integrate support for folks with mold and some other environmental toxin impacts. We receive referrals and are also glad to coordinate healthcare with other professionals if requested by the client. We are trained in herablism of different cosmologies and have supported people who work with others in integrity with plant medicine. We do not administer medicine journeys -- though we have extensive background in supporting people to prepare and to metabolize/integrate afterwards. We have extensive experience helping people recover from Narcissistic Trauma, Workplace/Institutional Bullying, Poverty Trauma -- we only work with people who are committed to ending violence and brutality everywhere. We recognize if power over abuse is happening to one person, it's likely happening to many elsewhere in the world, or even close by, and every one person's recovery is part of pushing back on and ending systemic violence. So the individual and systemic recovery must happen together. Our specializations are support for CSAS -- Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Survivors or folks currently enduring narcissistic or bullying trauma, Survivors of colonial trauma, and often underserved POC/GM folks. We are a WOC/GM practice. We have a strong record for working with people with intensive DID, DDNOS and other undiagnosed dissociation, CPTSD and trauma survivor experiences and feelings -- very welcome here, as long as folks are committed to healing within a movement of standing for all being's right to dignity and self determination. We are a Decolonizing Oriented and Intersectional Framework Practice prioritizing care for those who are systemically impacted and those who are active bystanders and activists. Red lines are red lines -- no excuses for perpetration. That said, if people are on the journey to ****actively (not just hypothetically or theoretically) repair, be an engaged and active bystander and not enact hegemonic violence with strong commitment, we are here to support that journey. Sorry for any typos!

Elizabeth Nims

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I focus on supporting women navigating major life changes and stressors with compassion, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. I utilize session time to understand my clients challenges and provide them with helpful insight, alternative perspectives, as well as coping skills and tools to utilize in day to day life to aid them in regulating their emotions and increasing self trust and confidence. I enjoy getting to know my clients better and forming a trusting therapeutic alliance. I have experience in treating stress/burnout, anxiety, ruptures in interpersonal relationships, life changes (work, school, relationships), and overall helping my clients know themselves better and become aligned with their most genuine, authentic selves. I look forward to connecting with you and being part of your healing journey.

San Francisco, California therapist: Julie Levin, marriage and family therapist
CFT

Julie Levin

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I help individual adults cope with difficult family members. Whether problems stem from addiction, mental illness, neuodivergence, developmental delays, dementia, personality disorders, or control issues, you probably find yourself feeling resentful, exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, worried, sad, and stuck. I know what this is like. Mental illness and addiction run in my family, so I’ve had to learn how set amazing boundaries, prioritize self-care, take action when I have the ability to do so, and let go when things are not in my control (which may be the hardest part). For the past 20+ years, it’s been my honor and pleasure to share everything I’ve learned with my own clients, helping them create more space for themselves, find more joy and ease, and step back from the fear, guilt, and obligation (FOG) to find more clariety and peace.

Dr. Glenn Francis

Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Online therapy works very well: in some ways, it is better than meeting face to face because it gently slides aside some of the conventional social niceties in favor of really talking about what is happening for a person. Then, working at more depth is facilitated, and more healing can happen.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
When life gets busy, it can be challenging to make appointments of any kind that fit in your schedule. If you frequently travel out of town, have any scheduling or transportation constraints, or simply prefer having your therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home- teletherapy might be a good fit for you. Teletherapy makes it convenient to make sure you're able to squeeze in that much needed time to focus on you and your healing, no matter how busy life gets.

Beverly Hills, California therapist: Allen Shamon, licensed clinical social worker
CFT

Allen Shamon

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict or emotional distance and are unsure how to repair the bond they once had. Many of the individuals and couples I work with, including LGBTQ+ partners, are navigating betrayal, trauma, attachment injuries, or long standing relational patterns that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I also support individuals whose relationship distress is impacting their mental health, sense of self, or ability to feel secure and connected. My clients are often seeking a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection, and are ready to do the work it takes to heal. I am an experienced couples therapist who has spent several years working almost exclusively with couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and individuals. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand their attachment needs, identify and break negative cycles, and rebuild emotional connection. Reaching out for couples or individual therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when things feel tense or uncertain. You don’t have to have all the answers before starting. If you are motivated to better understand your relationship patterns and willing to do the work, therapy can be a powerful place to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change together.
