"I can't thank you enough. Your web site is such an incredible resource. I only wish I had found it earlier..."

Irene A.

"I have to say that I am most impressed with your site. As I told you I had "googled" and "yahooed" for this information but found nothing that compared to your database... My search was becoming very stressful and I wish to thank you for relieving that stress."

Liz Johnston, LCSW

Last Updated: 08/01/2011

Hello, I am a therapist in private practice in San Luis Obispo, CA.

If you are dealing with trauma, I can help. I am trained in EMDR, an eye movement therapy which works quickly to relieve trauma and post traumatic stress.

If you are struggling with alcoholism or other addictions, I can help.  I have 26 years experience working with people in recovery and supporting members of 12 step groups.

If you are struggling with chronic illness or recovery from a stroke, I can help.  I currently work as a medical hospital social worker and previously worked for 6 years on a stroke rehab unit.  Thus I understand the issues facing older adults. 

I facilitate a monthly stroke support group for stroke survivors and their caregivers.

I provide brief counseling and longer-term psychotherapy using individual, couples, and family therapy.  My office is in downtown SLO, near the bus route, there is one step to enter.

Please call my cell phone 805-471-8102 or visit my blog at slotherapist.blogspot.com for more information.
