Dina Noricks, MS, MFT, (Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist)

I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, adolescents, teens, and families. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. I offer couples therapy/counseling for married couples, including same-sex/gay couples, and pre-marital counseling for engaged couples. I also offer career, and job-seeking skills counseling. I am fluent in Tagalog.

I believe a therapist should have a plan of action that works with a wide range of clients without making personal judgments. The plan should embrace your way of thinking, your goals, and your morality. That's the kind of therapist I would be for you. Whether working with families, couples or individuals, I would want to understand what went wrong and how you tried to fix it. Then find something new. The new solution lies in healing your own history: your resentments, losses, disappointments, and traumas. Healing these things will make you whole, as a person or as a couple.

In addition to my MFT training, I have over 20 years of experience as a professional Recruiter for a Fortune 500 company. I have extensive experience working in corporate environments. This gives me tremendous insight into job-seeking issues and workplace problems that can cause frustration, anxiety, and depression.

I use two trauma-based approaches: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing http://www.emdria.org); and Parts Psychology. This approach emphasizes that the mind is naturally divided. Go to http://www.partspsychology.org/ for more information. I am trained (Level II) in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (https://www.gottman.com) and that is the primary approach I use for couples psychotherapy/counseling.
