How I Work (ACT‑Led, Evidence‑Based)

  • In Southern California’s fast-paced culture — from entertainment to military bases — ACT helps you align choices with values while reducing stress and emotional avoidance.

  • CBT here often focuses on performance-related anxiety (common in media, healthcare, and service industries), sleep disruption, and the impact of daily stressors in crowded, high-demand settings.

  • CPT is especially supportive for veterans, military families, and first responders across Southern California who carry stuck trauma beliefs about safety, control, or trust.

  • Exposure work is approached with care — sometimes targeting location-based avoidance (e.g., beaches, freeways, or neighborhoods that trigger fear).

  • Mindfulness is integrated into everyday routines — from breathing practices during LA commutes to grounding tools that support emotional regulation in busy urban environments.
