Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Anxiety has a way of shutting everything down. We were made for connection and when we can't engage in a conversation, a relationship, or a social gathering the way we want to we often begin to isolate completely to avoid the tough feelings that arise when we feel we can't connect. In our work together I will help you overcome your anxious thoughts, feelings, and negative beliefs. Together we will explore where the anxiety comes from, why the anxiety exists and how to transcend the anxious feelings.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
Social anxiety can make you feel like everyone is watching or judging you, even when they are not. You may replay conversations, worry about saying the wrong thing, or avoid situations altogether. Therapy can help you understand those patterns and feel more confident in social situations.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.

El Monte is an eastern Los Angeles County city with a predominantly Latino population and a working-class character that distinguishes it from more affluent communities in the San Gabriel Valley, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic pressures, immigration-related challenges, and cultural factors affecting one of the county's more densely populated and underserved communities. Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health provides public services, and community health centers offer some sliding-scale and bilingual care, but private therapy options are limited and access to Spanish-speaking therapists is consistently below the level of need. Common therapy concerns include immigration stress and trauma, economic anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of seeking mental health support in a community where cultural stigma and language access barriers remain significant. The city's proximity to the broader LA therapy market means that those with the means can access a wide range of Spanish-language and culturally competent private practitioners.
