Santa Barbara, California therapist: Dr. Trevor Alleman, psychologist
Psychodynamic

Dr. Trevor Alleman

Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Dr. Mark Downey, pre-licensed professional
Psychodynamic

Dr. Mark Downey

Pre-Licensed Professional, Psychological Associate, Ph.D.
Welcome. You may have already tried other remedies before therapy, like forcing a smile, numbing out, self-help or beating yourself up. It can be confusing and frustrating when our old methods no longer seem to be working. And it is especially discouraging when we can sense a living ember inside, yet nothing has helped fan it into flame so far. I’m here to help you find some relief by getting in touch with those hidden parts of yourself. Book a free initial consultation with me today to begin. I am trained in depth-oriented talk therapy, mindfulness, and ecotherapy, among other modalities that can help you get to root issues and experience new growth. Through attending to your whole being (cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual presence) I believe you can find more meaning, authenticity, and joy in life.
