Hello and Welcome

If you're feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, or depression, this space is here for you—a place to peel back the layers and uncover your true self. My name is Cedric Staton, and I specialize in guiding teens and young adults on their journey of healing from trauma to achieve mental and emotional well-being.

Professional Journey

With over a decade of experience in mental health, I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical and Forensic Psychology from Argosy University and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in California (#11040). My practice is committed to providing an inclusive and affirming environment where everyone is welcomed and celebrated for who they are.

Personal Philosophy

I work from the perspective that our early relationships significantly impact our mental health and coping mechanisms. By understanding these attachments, we can better comprehend our interactions and perceptions, paving the way for healing and growth.

Integrative Approach

My approach to therapy is comprehensive, drawing from various methodologies to support your healing journey. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for reshaping thought patterns, Somatic approaches to connect mind and body, Mindfulness to promote present-moment awareness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore internal complexities. Additionally, Brainspotting can help process unprocessed trauma. These techniques, among others, allow us to explore and heal the multifaceted aspects of your experiences.

Creating Connections

I’m passionate about working with young individuals eager to rediscover their potential and joy. While maintaining an LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirmative practice, I focus on supporting anyone experiencing trauma in a way that honors their unique journey. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and aim to empower you on your path to self-discovery.

Your Safe Haven

In my practice, you’ll find a sanctuary where your voice is heard and your story is honored. Together, we’ll develop the tools you need to navigate life's complexities and embrace the life you envision.
