In our lives, we are often presented with challenges and obstacles that we must overcome. Oftentimes we self-impose the pressure to face these hurdles alone. I'm here to tell you that you don't need to. Seeking help is not an admission of failure but instead a step on the journey of self-improvement and self-fulfillment.
I offer personalized, goal-oriented therapy for all manner of clients, with an emphasis on dealing with specifically stressful or challenging events. Therapy is a collaborative process that allows us to work together to equip you with the tools and skills to build a solid foundation upon which you can face life on your own terms.
I'm sympathetic the fact that some people may feel self-conscious about therapy, and while I believe there's nothing to be ashamed of, I do still understand the desire for privacy. I offer a discrete service for professionals and others who may be concerned about these issues.
Life can be hard, you don't have to face it alone.
Everyone faces hardship in their lives. Reacting to it can be challenging, asking for help can feel even harder, but by reaching out for and receiving the help you need, you can surpass any obstacle life throws your way. I specialize in the kind of goal-oriented therapy that can help you get past whatever may stand in your way to living a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Oftentimes, periods of change can stir up deep-seated fears and issues in the back of our minds. When these old wounds resurface, it can be confusing and painful. Therapy can help by digging through your history to find out the root of the issue, and allow you to address them head on. In doing so, we can create lasting, positive change in your life.
All of the aforementioned techniques focus on introspection and self-analysis. By developing these self-reflective skills, you'll be better able to understand where you yourself are coming from and we can work to equip you with the tools necessary to tap into your inner strengths and talents. In doing so, we can hopefully uncover your passions and help you to move through life with a sense of purpose and satisfaction. Therapy can't ensure happiness, but together we can find and walk the path towards self-actualization.
Change is a constant in life, and while it can be at times scary and foreboding, it can also be powerful and uplifting. I believe that it is important to learn not only how to react to change, but also how to prepare oneself to enact positive change in their lives. Change is inescapable, but our relationship to it can determine how it impacts our lives.
Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Listening to oneself, or even learning how to do so, can be a crucial step in determining your passions and skills in life. Additionally, learning mindfulness techniques and skills can help you in the future to develop a method of self-evaluation that is both honest and kind .
The science of sports psychology has grown more popular in recent years as we've come to recognize the impact the mind can have on a person's ability to perform any task at a high level. The principles behind sports psychology can just as easily be applied to day-to-day life, as we work to establish a psychology foundation for success in all your endeavors.
My name is Janice Stimson, and I have a Doctorate of Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have decades of experience in both researched and applied psychology, with an emphasis in the treatment of high-functioning people under extreme stress and anxiety. I recently established my own business through which I hope to use my experience to help clients through my own individual therapy practice.
In addition to having worked with the Matrix Institute to help treat and understand people suffering from addiction; and as a member of the Los Angeles County Psychological Association, I have spent time as a guest lecturer and trainer in various psychological institutions throughout the world, including being invited to Bangkok by the Thai government to help educate as part of international outreach programs.
All of this experience is only as useful as I can make it. And in order to apply the knowledge and understanding I've built up over the years, I need to be able to use it to help others. I offer this information in the hopes that I can establish a relationship of confidence in trust, so that the client/therapist relationship can be one that enables us to have as positive an impact on your life as possible.
