Hi! I'm Beverly Clemons Snowden, a compassionate yet direct therapist. I am innovative, highly intuitive and directive in my therapeutic approach. I am passionate about empowering those I work with to identify their inner strengths, thus promoting personal growth. I can help you find practical solutions to complicated problems. My Emphasis . . . My primary emphasis is enhancing relationships between couples, families, adolescent parents, assisting couples through a divorce, and other relational issues. I use an evidence-based process to examine the client's underlying history and circumstances to offer techniques to help manage their symptoms. As you learn and use new tools to improve communications, the desires and closeness in your relationships will improve and lasting change happens. Therapy is the first step in your commitment to create transformation and find happiness in your life. Together, we can illuminate your fears and help put you in control of them. I also specialize in helping with relationship issues, life transitions, chemical dependency abuse, anxiety and depression as I incorporate assessments and clinical interventions that help strengthen relationships. I am passionate about restoring relationships by reducing dysfunctional patterns of communication so people can live happier and thriving lives. My Unique Qualifications . . . During my practicum, my training hours were completed at the following institutions: Loma Linda Behavioral Health Institute, San Bernardino County Housing Authority, Riverside County Community Action Partnership (CAPS) – as a Civil Mediator for the Riverside County Superior Court, the Riverside County Superior Court Family Law Division – as a Family Mediator Trainee and with several private practice Family Law Attorneys – providing family mediation. I was honored with the Master’s Minority Scholarship Award from the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy in 2013. I was also awarded the 2014 Loma Linda University “Most Outstanding Marriage and Family Therapy Student”. My Personal Message . . . You may find yourself falling into the same troubling patterns, despite your sincere desire to change; something is getting in your way. Maybe it feels too scary to risk letting go of what feels safe, whether it’s an unhealthy relationship, a distressing job, or a destructive habit. Sometimes we’re willing to give up potential happiness for fear or losing what we already have. Therapy can be a first step in your commitment to create transformation and find happiness in your life. Together, we can illuminate your fears and help put you in control of them. My role as a therapist is to provide a space to fully explore your feelings the “Good” as well as the “Bad” in a non-judgmental way. Our complicated emotions can be hard to understand, especially when we feel lost and alone. But, when you start to understand who you are at your core, things begin to fall into place.
