Find a Therapist in United States

I work to approach therapy based on being collaborative and established in openness, trust, honesty and humor. I believe that our work has roots in the relationship and we build together and should build upon your strengths and uniqueness. I find it a privilege for me to be invited to work with my clients as they go through transitions and challenges. I am very passionate about providing a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. My aim is to help you feel empowered, live authentically and freely, thrive in your relationships with yourself and others, and experience healing and change. I have experience in working with adults and teens struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and loss. Each client receives a unique approach specific to their situation and needs. My therapeutic approach is to integrate a variety of modalities to help you connect with your healthiest self, I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed, approaches with clients. Healing can be uncomfortable and challenging, and it is my hope to co-create a space where you can begin to create meaningful and lasting change. Healing hearts, transforming minds, finding balance.  

I have over 10 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate mental health; and have been in private practice for 5 years as Gossamer Psychotherapy, LLC. I want to help you access the fulfilling life you desire and aim to address your specific issues. Together we will find value, meaning, and purpose in your life; and collaborate toward building a strong inner ally aligned with your best interest. It is no mystery that we experience anxiety, depression, worry, feel stuck, struggle with relationships, and are burdened by life. As such, mental wellness does not have to be a mystery either. Maybe you struggle with decision making and doing what is best for you. Perhaps you find it hard to know what you want in life, and just keep living life like there are no problems which perpetuates your unease and sense of distress. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by negative emotions, and that hinders your ability to be honest with yourself and the people in your life or appropriately express your needs. Email me, and I will help you change your life in a way that restores peace within you, honors your sovereignty, and helps you contribute your best to society. After all, empowered, balanced individuals are the foundation of strong families and communities- and I want to help you access the fulfilling life you desire.  

Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.

Repeating the same argument on loop isn’t good foreplay. Neither is dodging intimacy, silently stewing in betrayal, or feeling totally lost when it comes to your sexuality.

The many successes achieved by my clients continue to fulfill my professional life. Be it as a hypnotist, hypnotherapist, or educator, I have witnessed those with whom I have worked accomplish so much because of their hard work, made easier through hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and their use of self-hypnosis. As I always tell my clients: "Your successes are 95% your doing. I have simply been your guide, in bringing out your potential." At the same time, I teach clients self-hypnosis so that they are able to self-manage challenges that may arise moving forward. Increasing confidence and motivation at a subconscious level, has propelled them toward achieving their goals and objectives far sooner than would otherwise be the case. I feel privileged to have joined so many individuals during a formative part of their journey. I encourage you to engage thoughtful evaluation when choosing a hypnotherapist. It is important to weigh each professional’s education, training, diversified experience, and competence as communicated by professionals in the same or related fields. In these regards, kindly visit my website at www.HypnosisMotivation.com. There you will learn what both clients and professionals have written about my service delivery. Their testimonials address my performance in private practice; the work I have done educating and training psychologists and marriage and family therapists throughout California; an overview of my work as a Senior Clinical Instructor in a medical center's pain clinic; and my service delivery as an adjunct professor, teaching hypnosis / hypnotherapy subject matter classes for the Department of Educational Psychology at California State Northridge. Beyond the foregoing the deciding factor in your choice of a hypnotherapist should be your own compatibility assessment with that individual, following a consultation about your expectations, goals, and objectives. I welcome you to have a consultation with me, at no charge, in these regards. You can phone me at (805) 358-1011 or email me at Stuart@HypnosisMotivation.com. Be well, Stuart
