Sc Nameth

I believe in the strength of the person (s) coming to therapy/yoga, and their ability to heal themselves with some guidance. If someone is motivated to find assistance in their journey, then they are already half way through the challenge. My clients and students come to tell their story, both verbally and through the observance and tracking of the bodily sensations tied to the emotions and experiences they've had. I work well with clients who are willing to experience a little discomfort in order to reach a more balanced place in their lives. I use humor, an edgy style, and a supportive tone. I also offer yoga for stress, trauma, anxiety and depression, both in private lessons and as part of the psychotherapy session. I give individual and group (at yoga studios) Yoga Nidra sessions to increase nervous system regulation.
I specialize in working with clients who have experienced some type of trauma in their lives. This includes grief and loss, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, car accidents, transitions such as moving, changing jobs, a change in a relationship, growing up in alcoholism and addiction, interpersonal traumas, acute and chronic traumatic experiences, and more. I work with family members affected by someone's alcoholism or addiction as well. Pre-teens, teens and adults are welcome in my office! I teach monthly Yoga Nidra workshops in LA and Pasadena at Siesta Yoga, Yoga Madre, and local YMCA's.
I have seen clients improve self-esteem, increase positive decision making skills, improve interpersonal and family relationships, walk away from unhealthy relationships, heal from trauma and abuse, recover from addiction, improve job success and make forward career moves, heal physical ailments, find new interests and ways to take better care of themselves, and stop unhealthy patterns.
The client-therapist relationship is of the utmost importance! There should be unconditional care and a non-judgemental attitude from the therapist. I offer humor to my clients as well, as in my experience, the ability to laugh at yourself can lead to a much less judgmental perception of yourself. There is so much more room for curiosity, interest and self-awareness.
I offer group and individual Yoga Nidra for clients who are ready to have a better, more fulfilling experience of life!
