About Phillip
Rev. Phillip Deming is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and depression. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and supports clients who want to include their spiritual beliefs in therapy.
With 25 years of experience, she brings long-term clinical work to each session. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between meetings, such as skills for coping with anxiety, ways to communicate during conflict, and strategies to handle loss. She also assists people facing addictions, sleep difficulties, and challenges from chronic illness.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions so clients set the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and build emotion regulation skills.
She is comfortable addressing issues related to LGBT identity, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, attachment and family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and coping after separation or divorce.
People who wish to draw on spiritual resources can bring those into sessions, and she respects each person's beliefs without imposing them. Prospective clients are encouraged to decide what matters most to them and to begin with a short matching process to schedule a first appointment.
