| Practice Description: |
Betrayals ~~ Devastating and Unexpected Life Changing Traumas ~~ Have you suffered deeply because you were betrayed by a loved one or a trusted friend -- perhaps your partner cheated on you, or perhaps you have been abused or abandoned by people you loved and trusted completely, or were you a victim of constant put-downs, criticisms and vicious ridicule from others? Betrayals are brutal and strip us of our feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. They cause deep emotional scars and can either completely numb our feelings, or create feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, depression, anger and despair.
The unhealed hurt and anger you are feeling may be overwhelming to the point that no matter how hard you try, your thoughts return to the "tape player" in your head that daily reminds you of how badly you were betrayed. From my years of counseling individuals who have suffered a devastating Betrayal in their life, it is so important that you have a place where your deepest feelings and concerns can be heard without judgment. A place where you can begin to understand how a person you trusted so deeply could hurt you so intensely and show no remorse in doing it.
There is a common path to recovery shown by all my clients to healing from Betrayals -- and that is feeling safe enough and confident enough to create gradual, consistent changes in their life. I can provide you with a safe place where you can rebuild your self-esteem, find the pride and confidence that you lost, and finally and forever release Betrayal's heavy emotional burdens. Let me help you know what it's like to feel the freedom to live each day hopeful about a positive future.
If you are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, feels honored to help others, and is dedicated to teaching others how to free themselves of the deep hurt caused by a Betrayal, please call me at 714-328-9798. I would be honored to help you.

| Additional Comments: |
I am also a Certified Guided Imagery Therapist and am offering a FREE guided imagery session when you sign up for two sessions. While my standard fee is $200.00 per session for guided imagery only, because of the financial hardships we all are facing, I am reducing my price to $90.00 per session, and your total price for 3 sessions would be $180.00, rather than $600.00. Guided Imagery is an alternative type of therapy which includes meditation, or visualization, and promotes immediate relaxation and stress reduction. You will enjoy better sleep, a more calm and relaxed mind, and your body will learn how to release the tensions and worries of your day. Please mention this listing when making your appointment. |
