Getting Unstuck!

When we are stuck in the midst of problems, it is often difficult to have hope. It may feel like things will never change. Being stuck prevents us from seeing our choices, so we may try to resolve a problem by doing something that we have already tried. This is normal, but sometimes normal stops working. So when life gets chaotic - or just plain crazy - and what we have tried has failed, consider therapy to become unstuck.

Reaching out for help is not always easy. Going to therapy can be like going to the dentist. It can be one of those things we put off for a variety of reasons. So when you get to the point that you could no longer put off that "cavity" affecting your life, give me a call. 

I will work with you, and collaboratively we could search for solutions. My approach is to learn about you and your goals so that together we can work thru the challenges, pain and hardship. This is called the "therapeutic alliance," a process that helps clients move forward, and create something better for themselves & their family.

If you want to take the next step, give me a call to schedule and appointment. I hope to be a part of your journey.

​Marsinah is certified in telemental health practices, being one of the first online therapists in the Kern River Valley to help clients get access to the therapeutic services they need.

​Marsinah uses state-of-the-art secure technology to offer therapy to virtually anyone in California. Learn how easy it is to get therapy in the convenience of your own home or office at the same cost of traditional therapy. 
If you live in the Kern River Valley or Bakersfield, you may have experienced difficulties in obtaining a therapist because: 
  • There is a shortage of qualified licensed professionals in the area
  • Therapists may not be taking new clients
  • You or others you know have tried agency services and have been disappointed
  • Seeing an online psychiatrist for less than 15 minutes is not what you consider help
  • You are hesitant to see someone who may be connected to others you know

These are common regional barriers that make finding help difficult. However, Therapy Trek is now open 5 days a week with online and in person to support you in your healing, self care, and personal growth. 

​In addition, Marsinah has partnered with clinical associates to expand her capacity and offer greater choices to people seeking therapy. ​Marsinah provides therapy in person at her office in Mt. Mesa and has a network of clinical consultants and licensed, board-certified therapists whom she can refer to if the need arises.
