Hi. My name is Barbara Benoualid and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I speak French and English and conduct my sessions in both languages. As a therapist my goal is to help explore and uncover the patterns that are getting in the way of your fulfillment and joy or keeping you feeling stuck. Together we can make sense of your patterns, as we explore your past and present- revealing your strengths and the obstacles in your way. You’ll learn new tools that will help you move forward differently. I will work with you to manage emotions, find tools to cope with you stress, build on your strengths, understand how you can impact your relationships, resolve conflicts, and live a balanced and more fulfilling life.
Working with you through grief, as your support and counselor, I will be gentle and present for you. There is no right or wrong way to feel the emotions when you have experienced loss. It can be accompanied by guilt, and deep sadness. I will be present to listen and guide you when you are ready.
My goal is to accompany you through your journey of grief wherever you are. I will listen and be there to help you find your way through your grief to a place where you can enjoy your life in meaningful ways. I will support you and be present for you as you process and grow from your personal experience. I work with many types of losses that people experience throughout their lifetime- divorce, job loss, spousal/partner loss, loss of child, loss of a parent, loss of home, accidental, suicide, long-term illness.

Services Offered
I offer individual psychotherapy in person and virtual. I offer my services to men and women that are diagnosed with a long-term medical condition and have worked with those who are in hospice care. It is no surprise that this affects the individual and family. Many experiences depression, anxiety, and grief. Working with individuals providing a safe and judgement free place to express their grief is invaluable. Support during times when we feel utterly drained can significantly alter the course of our lives. Working together to process grief, irrespective of when the loss took place, is crucial. It’s never too premature or too delayed to seek support. Hope is always within reach. Together, let’s discover it.
