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!

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi, my name is Monica Huston. I feel genuinely driven to help individuals, couples, and families work through the challenges that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of on your own.
My approach to therapy is thoughtful and grounded in understanding what’s beneath the surface. I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape the present. I aim to create a space that feels both steady and honest—where you can slow down, explore what’s really going on, and begin to experience yourself and your relationships differently over time.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life can leave you feeling shaken—betrayal, relational abuse, or divorce can erode trust, shake your sense of self, and make relationships feel unsafe. It’s normal to feel hurt, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I also specialize in sex therapy and intimacy work. Whether sexual desire feels distant, connection feels confusing, or intimacy brings anxiety, we can explore what’s getting in the way and work toward sexual confidence, satisfying closeness, and authentic connection.
In a supportive, nonjudgmental space, we’ll address the patterns holding you back, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and take practical steps toward safer, more fulfilling relationships and intimacy—so you can feel heard, valued, and connected again.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, challenge you to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and offer the scaffolding to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
We don’t just treat symptoms here, we work with lives. The therapy we offer here is personal, involved, and active. We help you get to the heart of the issues and we won’t hold back. Therapy helps people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, become free of old patterns, or simply find ways to process pain or memories that have kept them feeling stuck.
Psychotherapy is a healing process that allows people to not only start feeling better but gain insight, awareness, and ultimately begin trusting their experience and intuitions. We want to help you get to know yourself and move past whatever it is that is holding you back from the life you imagine you could have.
Dr. Keil has assembled an incredible team of clinical psychologists in Newport Beach. We are active, involved therapists whose life’s work is aimed at providing insight, growth, and healing for those that enter our practice. Our teams strengths are honesty, authenticity, and compassion (in greek literally means “to suffer together”). It is our goal to get you better as fast as possible.
We pride ourselves in providing the highest quality mental health care to the people in this community. We have a heart and passion for this work and care deeply for the people that come to see us. We look forward to getting to know you, understanding your unique challenges, and meeting you exactly where you are.
We have an incredible team here. In fact, we joined together as a team because of our shared love for psychotherapy and the art of providing quality psychotherapy. We are not the head-nodding, passive, always-in-agreement type. You can expect to be deeply understood, engaged, and cared for but you will also be challenged in many ways. We will be real, involved, depth-oriented, and the antithesis of the classic distant armchair professional. We don't rely on a blanketed approach and create a unique therapy to each person we meet. We often hear this praise and enjoy our reputation as such.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.
