ABOUT ANDY BALAZS
Marriage and Family Therapist
Licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, I provide psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. I work with clients to collaboratively develop a plan that addresses your needs, incorporates your strengths, and alleviates your symptoms in the timeliest way possible. My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and pragmatic. My belief is that my clients ultimately know what is best for them, and it is my job to facilitate improvement through an empathic yet challenging therapeutic environment. Working with adults and adolescents around issues including anxiety, some of my services include depression, substance use disorders, trauma, life transitions and relationship issues, I am dedicated to helping individuals discover new perspectives and solutions to difficult life challenges so that they may unleash and experience their true potential.
About Psychotherapy
Therapy is the interaction between an individual or individuals and a trained professional who work collaboratively to identify and address feelings, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and interactions with others. In therapy, issues are identified and healthy methods of coping are taught, strengthened, and practiced. It is a safe place to discuss freely the stressors you experience without judgement, and with the goal of improving awareness and quality of life.
Psychotherapy is a process that, with willingness and commitment, will change painful patterns and restore your true self. Psychotherapy uses many tools, including conversation, guided exercises, and take-home work, to understand and alter habitual behaviors and thoughts that cause pain and suffering.
Services Provided
My collaborative, strength-based, and humanistic approach emphasizes the internal resources that need to be tapped. I focus on asking insightful questions, challenging and confronting the clients where appropriate, and choosing interventions that are practical and change oriented. We will identify patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are holding you back. We will work on rediscovering your strengths, creating alternative ways of thinking and being, making concrete changes, reducing your stress level and helping you find ways to overcome your challenges. I believe therapy can help to resolve life crises, restore hope and guide you towards living a more fulfilling life with renewed inspiration, energy and clarity. Contact me for more information.
