Ava Louise Stanton, L.C.S.W. Ava Louise Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with a psychotherapy practice in Santa Monica. She sees individual adults facing difficulties of many kinds, and couples with communications problems. For a consultation or appointment, contact her at 310-449-1331, or you may email her at alcstanton@msn.com. "Most of us want to love, work and feel a sense of purpose. Sometimes we lose our footing because of current or historical problems in our lives. Psychotherapy can help. Careful, kind inquiry and understanding in a respectful professional relationship can help you to reconnect with your natural sense of yourself, your humor, your values or your spiritual life. I have worked for 20 years with adults (individuals and couples) to find their way through depression and anxiety, communication problems, and difficult circumstances. Since 1990 I have worked to help women diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones. If there is helpful information in THE BREAST CANCER NOTEBOOK, it is from them. My attention, awareness and sense of humor have been aided by my long Zen meditation practice. I am including that here in case that is interesting to you. There's no expectation or need to be a meditator to come into therapy. If you have a spiritual life or interest it's important to bring it with you into therapy and I welcome that. If you would like to make an appointment,if you have a question,or if you would like more information, please email me at alcstanton@msn.com or call me at my office, 310-449-1331. My fee is $150 an hour. In these difficult times, I can work with you." |
