Teela Allen

California, California - Marriage And Family Therapist
Online
In Person

Peaceful Greetings and Wellness! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist who is Licensed in California with well over a decade of experience working in various clinical and advocacy capacities as a Psychotherapist, Social Worker, Certified Mental Health Integrative Culinary Medicine Provider, Certified Yoga Instructor (RYT-200), Certified Trauma Informed Outreach Trainer, and Certified Peristeam (Vaginal steam) Facilitator in order to meet the many needs of children, families, and individuals alike. I became a Therapist because I too have experienced many types of trauma; something that overwhelms the nervous system and leaves the person unable to fully process the experience. Those overwhelming experiences that we've been unable to fully process have led to imbalances mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, behaviorally, and biologically due to being unaddressed. In conjunction with traditional psychotherapy, my approach is holistic and body inclusive as it integrates somatic (body) awareness, culture, personal beliefs/spirituality, and nutritional protocols (gut health) in order to maximize the way we bring the body into balance. My counseling style is authentic, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering! I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is Trauma Informed, supportive and self-illuminating so that we can shed light on sensitive areas that need nourishing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs while welcoming your ongoing feedback. It is my calling to be a light guide and aid you in understanding yourself at your core. I will provide you tangible tools that are necessary for better functioning and optimal wellness. If you are ready to take steps towards healing, making peace, creating balance, and living your best life, I am here to support and empower you. You don't have to be great to start, but you must start to be great. YOU GOT THIS and I look forward to connecting with you!

Autumn Altamirano

California, California - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online

Hello! My name is Autumn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: private practice, outpatient, and school-based. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, life transitions, family conflicts, and relationship challenges. I was born and raised in Orange County, California, and currently reside in Nashville, Tennessee. I received an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I use a client-centered approach. This means that I begin where you are and view you as the experts on your life. It also means that you determine the direction and depth of therapy. I primarily use evidenced-based techniques, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. However, based on your needs/presenting problems, I may also incorporate attachment-based therapy and psychodynamic therapy. I would describe my style as warm, real, and supportive. For me, the therapeutic relationship is important. I want you to not only feel comfortable with me but also to trust me. Therapy requires one to be vulnerable, which doesn’t happen if there isn’t a good rapport and therapeutic alliance. Collaboration is also important. Together we will work on establishing goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy playing soccer, watching sports, reading, cooking, spending time with my husband and children, and traveling to new places. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me! I look forward to helping you in any way I can!
