Life is hard enough, finding the right therapist shouldn’t be
Caroline Enciso, LMFT
Anxiety and Depression Therapist
Simi Valley, CA
Do you remember a time when second guessing yourself and carrying the weight of the world weren’t the “norm”… but those days feel like a distant memory? Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place
I’m Caroline
I help adults and young adults just like you: ones that have it within them to love life, relationships, and themselves, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find clarity, confidence, and healthy habits by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and navigate through their current season of life.
Many of today's solutions for stress and unhappiness are to "just let it go" and "be positive." Often your support system doesn't know how to help other than to say, "Everything's going to be okay." But this leaves you feeling at a loss and that you're never going to feel happy unless you fake it. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I take the time to get to know you, understand your struggles, and truly validate your experiences.
First, we identify the unhealthy relational and coping patterns in your life that are causing you unhappiness and stress. Then, we work on the communication skills, coping skills, and behavior changes that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you'll find more self-awareness and develop the skills to navigate through life with confidence and love for yourself.
I am dedicated to helping people find a healthy balance in their lives.
My background in helping adults from all walks of life means I have the expertise you need and deserve when navigating through your current challenges. But at the end of the day, you want to know you're working with someone who "gets" you and what you're going through without feeling judged, right?
I get it because I have devoted my career to truly getting to know people from all types of backgrounds and deeply coming to understand why we do the things we do and feel the way we feel. I know that sometimes it seems easier to just be alone or keep your guards up all the time, but that’s also exhausting and unfulfilling. So when we work together, you won't just get a trained therapist. You'll get someone who truly understands what you're going through.
