What is your role at Gather and Grow OC?

I’m a therapist providing services for all ages: individuals, families, and relationships.

I focus on what we call “parts work” - essentially, imagine the Disney movie Inside Out but in your own brain. Each of your parts has different needs, motivations, priorities, and feelings! Sometimes this looks like conflicting feelings, being pulled in different directions, or realizing you’re exhausted, frustrated, and stuck in the same patterns over and over again. Sometimes this looks like feeling BIG feelings that seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes it looks like feeling detached or not knowing who YOU are.

While we explore your different parts, I’ll help along the way with tips for managing anxiety, depression, dissociation, and any other unpleasant symptoms you might be facing.

School and Training History

Therapy has been a dream of mine from the moment I took psychology as an elective senior year of high school - so thank YOU for allowing me to do my dream job! Since then, I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology at CSU Fullerton and went on to complete my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University.

Since then, I’ve worked with teens and families, as well as individual adults and couples.

Individual Focus

Two prongs!

I love working with teens, families, and parents. Especially if you’re finding your relationship with your child or parent challenging. I’ve spent time working in an emergency youth shelter focusing on high-conflict dynamics and have familiarity working with selective mutism and teen self-harm.

I also love working with queer and neurodiverse adults, those in the kink/BDSM community, and those practicing consensual nonmonogamy! No longer do you have to worry about educating your therapist on the differences between relationship anarchy and hierarchical polyamory - or feel judged and pathologized around D/s dynamics and other types of play!

What excites you about being part of the Gather and Grow OC community?

To be around such a wealth of knowledge and queerness! I love being part of a supportive team of beautiful souls who walk the walk and aim to engage with social justice in a real, tangible way. As someone who wants to push, grow, and learn in community with others, GGOC has been a wonderful place to do just that.

A Letter from Camille

Hi there! ^.^

I’m Camille - I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you! My goal is to provide a space that helps you feel comfortable being yourself as we untangle and sort through life and all its wackiness. I’m looking to be one of your pillars of support - through ups and downs, you’ve got me!

Expect warmth, sincerity, deep care, and a little silliness thrown in. I believe tears are healing, and all emotions and feelings are useful information for our journey. I hope the space we make together brings relief to your life, your relationships, and all the parts of yourself that have faced heartbreak and challenge.

Thank you for your bravery in reaching out for support, and know that your trust is not taken lightly! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story.

Lastly, Fuck ICE, Fuck American Imperialism, and free Palestine!

<3

Camille
