Our Team of Providers
Patients come to us for many different issues. All have something in common: the desire to improve and lead a more fulfilled life. That can be in more than one area – maybe you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, or painful thoughts from the past. Maybe you want to improve your mood, thoughts, behavior, and/or relationships.
All the providers at Neuro Wellness Solutions Therapy specialize in clinical psychology and are here to support you in making the changes you would like to see. Our goal is to support you with interventions, so that ideally, you will complete treatment. Our treatment team of psychologists and coaches work closely together to provide full support that is cost and time efficient.
Coach vs Psychologist
At NWST, our psychologists and coaches work collaboratively to provide well-rounded, personalized care. Our licensed psychologists diagnose and use evidence-based therapies, including CBT, to help individuals understand and heal from challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. We offer collaborative sessions that provide more than “just listening.” They focus on identifying patterns, improving emotional awareness, and fostering long-term mental well-being.
Our coaches then build on this foundation by helping clients set realistic goals to improve daily life, create structure, frequent accountability by text, and develop strategies for success. Together, our team bridges the gap between healing and action—supporting both emotional growth and practical progress so clients can thrive in all areas of life. Coaches provide a cost effective way to have support to make lasting behavior changes. Working with NWST coaches has an advantage in that our coaches are closely supervised by clinical psychologists to assure patient safety so our coaches are not doing therapy and you are receiving quality comprehensive care. If a larger issue surfaces over the course of treatment, you can easily transition to a licensed psychologist team member.

A Change of Heart: How DBT Helped Me Survive My Heart Transplant.
The New Beginnings Center, Counseling and Integrative Health, Camarillo, CA: Educational Event.
Hearing at 36 that you have heart failure and that you need a heart transplant is something no one should ever have to endure. It is a nightmare roller coaster of emotional and physical chaos… the likes of which most of us mere mortals have never imagined. Given this new reality, it’s going to take everything you have and everything you don’t think you have to figure out how to navigate the unknown.
Utilizing the main tenants of DBT, I recounted my journey through heart failure and interweaved humor and oftentimes desperate and feeble attempts at mindfulness into a real-life illustration of how distress tolerance and emotional regulation can both save your life and nearly break you at the same time.
