Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
My name is Terri L. Asanovich, and I have been practicing Marriage and Family Therapy since 1981. Perhaps, the essence of all your mental and emotional pain lies in your inability to love yourself. Thus, it's important to uncover and dismantle all barriers within yourself that prevent you from achieving your goals. My specialities are treatment for depression, anxiety, stress, codependency, child custody issues and co-parenting. I can assist you to feel confident in your interactions with difficult people, in expressing your feelings, standing up for yourself, and in developing better self-esteem and self care practices. I offer individual, relationship, family, and marital counseling, as well as specializing in care for children and teenagers. I highly value creating a safe space for improving self-worth. There are no easy answers, only profound opportunities to explore your unresolved questions. I'm interested in helping you understand what is currently holding you back in life and invested in guiding you towards greater balance, meaning, creativity, and authenticity. I am a former children's advocate and Vice-chairperson of the Los Angeles County Mental Health Commission, serving from 1987-1994. I served on the California Senate Child Custody Task Force from 1986-1988. I am a past Chairperson of the California State Board of Behavioral Science. In 1990 I received the Distinguished Clinical Member Award - California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists for consumer protection and advancing the profession of Marriage and Family Therapy. I currently serve as an Expert Consultant for The Board of Behavioral Sciences, California Department of Consumer Affairs. I graduated from Immaculate Heart College with a specialization in Clinical Psychology and have made it my mission to help people develop their interpersonal skills and develop self-sufficiency and the ability to be interdependent with others.

Karen L Kleckner, M.A..

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Walnut Creek, CA

At the core of many personal issues lie old messages of your sense of worth. Those messages conveyed to you while growing-up that minimized your self-esteem. The journey inward toward your past can often be frightening and disheartening. By slowly revisiting the wounded part of yourself, old repetitive behaviors can cease to exist. A new sense of kindness toward yourself will begin to emerge. Allow me to travel with you to discover what is buried deep inside of your soul, exploring what keeps you from becoming all that you want to be.
