Therapists in Covina, CA
Therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody at one point or another in their lives. A therapist offers tools to manage stress, knowledge for building better relationships, support for finding your spiritual direction, and focus for improving your overall well-being and reaching your full potential.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Covina, CA may offer more options than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than reaching out to the nearest practice. One reason for this is that when it comes to your individual treatment program, there are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches available. Which will be most effective for you can depend on the challenges being addressed as well as personal preference. What you want or need may not be available in a location convenient to you. Even if you find one that is, they may have a waiting list, or may not be taking new patients. That’s where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that provides telehealth services from a wide variety of mental health professionals based in West Covina, CA and the surrounding areas. These providers specialize in a broad range of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. Fill out a simple online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because some individuals have felt judged in past experiences, BetterHelp offers therapist switches at no additional cost.
Telehealth services are also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, from managing stress to focusing on your well-being, contact BetterHelp to get started. Or you can check out the list of online-based Covina therapists below for more information.

Nadja Zapasov (MA, LMFT) ABOUT ME Welcome! I salute you on your choice to get help in moving forward in your life. Once you have made that decision, your own positive energy will support you and guide you to the next level. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” William Hutchison Murray The energy of one’s thoughts has the power to create an extraordinary life (or not). Directing your positive and constructive thoughts and emotions to the creation of your goals is the first step in achieving them. I would be honored to assist you in realizing the next step in your life plan, whether it is in the area of relationships, education or career, creative pursuits, coping with life changes, or your personal spiritual evolution. Your “world view” or what your beliefs are about life (and death) are the key to what is happening (or not happening) for you. If you change the way you think, you change the energy that creates things in your life. You are in control of your thoughts. Can you change how you think and what you believe? Of course! Are you looking to explore the possibility of a more spiritual perspective? Although I may not have all the definitive answers, I have learned enough not to fear death. I can help with the ability to discuss those spiritual questions and universal laws, and assist you in learning to use practical methods to move you towards living your best life. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 2004, with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University. The last twelve years I have worked with the active military and their families, and supervised thirty psychotherapists in their work with adults, children, families, and couples on military installations. Most people are looking for a better balanced life between work and personal satisfaction, as well as better communication, self-esteem, stress management, and how to cope with anxiety, infidelity, body issues, infertility, and parenting. We will work together using educational videos, books, art projects, and various other techniques that will enlarge your personal insights and are sure to make life more interesting and exciting!...you are the most important project you can work on! I really look forward to working with you--on YOU!

Having returned to grad school to become a therapist at the midpoint of my life, I bring a wealth of knowledge from being a parent, a preschool teacher, a 7th grade Waldorf teacher, an art instructor, a graphic designer and copyrighter, and an art consultant for over 20 years. My school trajectory took me from UCLA to San Jose State to Sac State, a Waldorf training college and finally to San Francisco's CIIS. As I've entered the field of being a therapist, what I've learned is that the act of becoming a therapist means you are a good listener and humbled each time a human being opens their heart to you. To that end, I work diligently to understand and tailor each treatment I design to work specifically with the client in front of me. I relish the empathy and dignity of Person-Centered Therapy because I firmly believe that each person knows themselves best and can apply what they learn when they are given the tools and perspective to see solutions within the framework of the very problems they brought to therapy in the first place. Being an EXA therapist means that I employ the Expressive Arts (poetry, rap, photography, 2D and 3D art, dance, sculpture, writing, drama, music, gardening, and cooking, and eco-art) into the healing process. The art becomes another tool and a living testament to the fact that healing is happening. My style of therapy focuses upon being sensitive, empathetic with a healthy dash of questions. My sessions are usually filled with interactive games, art, laughter, meditation and yes, breakthroughs and tears - all the range of possible human expression. People tell me they come away from their session feeling happier, lighter, clearer and understood. I have great compassion for the people I see, whether via telehealth or in-person. My goal is to be fully present, listening, supporting, acknowledging and empowering you forward, however that next chapter appears. Looking forward to chatting with you soon!

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 13 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; a native Spanish speaker and am fully bilingual. I have served clients experiencing multiple occurring conditions requiring some form of crisis stabilization service or intervention. I have counseled individuals and families dealing with an array of issues such as immigration/deportation, domestic and community violence, teen pregnancy, work – readiness, homelessness, substance abuse, and more. As of 2012, my clinical experience has afforded me the opportunity to provide brief and long-term psychotherapy utilizing strength-based, trauma informed, and culturally congruent clinical interventions. I utilize a client’s worldview as a cognitive template to enhance health and wellness practices that fortify their resilience. I help motivate clients in their recovery to become agents of change and wellness in their respective communities. My vast experience has given me a particular insight on how to collaborate effectively with individuals of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural backgrounds. Up to 70% of the clients I have worked with are monolingual Spanish-Speaking immigrants and 50% are African American. Ten percent speak Maya/Yucateco, and Maya/Mam, Quechua, Cantonese, Samoan, Tagalog, Mongolian, Arabic, English, and Russian. I understand the impact culturally informed, social justice, and relational approaches can have in defining health and wellness practices, as well as alleviating community violence and intergenerational trauma.

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Covina is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
