Helping Orange County Families Heal Since 2009!

Welcome to New Paths Family Counseling

We're Here to Help

Our mission is to help people who are struggling find the best resources for the problems they are going through.Arguments are a natural part of relationships. Most people experience days when they are tired, upset or feeling down. In these situations, it’s very common for individuals to snap at their partners or other people close to them. When one partner makes a rude comment or criticism, the other will often reply with another negative comment – leading to a cycle of anger and resentment.

The good news is that with the relationship help of an innovative couples therapist, you and your partner can regain the trust, compassion and love that initially brought you together. Investing your time and energy in couples counseling can fortify you and your partner’s bond and help you build a fulfilling life together.

Trauma Therapy

If you have been abused or traumatized, first and foremost, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Because abuse and trauma can be so horrific, you may be reluctant to talk about the pain and misery. You may have gone years never having told a soul, not even your parents. We understand and it is OK. Sharing what happened can often feel shameful and awkward. It is not your fault. You may even be seeking help for something entirely different than the trauma. You might be wondering why your relationships continue to fail. You might have a hard time shedding feelings of sadness, worry or feeling of being overwhelmed by life.

Addiction Treatment

Addictions are another thing people do not like to talk about. Often times, it takes a loved one to point out the problem before someone is willing to get help. Struggling with addiction can turn your life upside down. Seeking help as early as you can helps simplify the recovery process.

Child Therapy

Children's behaviors can make you worry or feel exasperated. They rebel, they experiment with harmful drugs, they throw tantrums, and do things we sometimes just don't understand. At school, they may have trouble getting along with others, they might get bullied and their grades can drop. There are so many concerns as a parent. Sometimes parents need help navigating the system when their child is diagnosed with with ADHD or some other problem. We have child specialists who are specially trained to help you through these tough situations.

How Therapy Can Help

A New Way to See Your Life!

Therapy can help you see life from a totally different perspective. When you have trouble finding your way out of life's problems, it is far too easy to get tunnel vision. We get stuck with the same old arguments. We handle our anger the same old way and can feel very anxious or depressed. We continue to procrastinate and then we wonder why our lives continue to be so difficult.

With a good counselor, you begin seeing things in ways you never thought of before. Insights like these lead to life changes. Typically, every person has one or more major realizations they get during the counseling process. This can feel like a revelation and your life can take on a whole new meaning or give you an entirely new way to deal with your most difficult problems.


A Place to Safely Express Your Deepest Wounds

Quality therapists must have the ability to make you feel safe and comfortable. Sometimes you might have to disclose something that you feel very embarrassed or ashamed to talk about. Even if you know that you are protected by laws of confidentiality, you may still feel reluctant to share. You might be feeling ashamed about something that happened to you or something you did to someone else. You might have tried to share this with someone you love, but were not met with the support you had hoped for. When you get professional help and you finally feel understood, you feel an overwhelming sense of relief. You may cry, you may smile and feel a big burden lifted off your chest. This feeling is amazing!


Prevent Your Problems from Getting Worse

If not properly treated, some conditions will get worse through time. Depression and hopeless feelings can turn into suicidal feelings. Victims of abuse can become more prone to depression, alcoholism, and eating disorders. General anxiety can turn into panic attacks. As your symptoms worsen, it can make it difficult to perform well at work or at homes. Getting quality therapy can help you prevent any condition from getting worse.


Finally Healing Those Painful Emotions

Painful emotions are exhausting. They have a way of rearing it's ugly head by memories, experiences and bad relationships. Sometimes, it is hard to understand where they are coming from at all. A good therapist will not only help you feel comfortable expressing your pain, but will also help you find that wonderful and peaceful sense of healing. You know that emotional wounds can linger inside you. It is almost like they get stored within your body and get activated when you least want them to. What would your life be like to finally be able to move past those old hurts? What would it be like to genuinely forgive and experience the peace of mind you desire? How awesome would it be to get relief from all that stress and depression. Top therapists help their clients move to this place of peace on a regular basis.
