Therapy for Couples, Families, and Teens in Temecula, California
Reconnect, Heal, and Feel Like You Again
Welcome to Outside the Norm Counseling: Where Healing Begins
Counseling for Women, Teen Therapy, & Couples Therapy in Temecula, CA
Let’s be real—life can feel like a lot. One minute you’re managing a to-do list, the next you’re wondering why every conversation with your partner turns into a misunderstanding, or why your teen suddenly turned into a walking eye-roll.
If you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck… you’re not alone. And more importantly—you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
At Outside the Norm Counseling in Temecula, CA, we offer therapy for couples, teens, and families to help them move from “barely holding it together” to “finally breathing again.” No toxic positivity. No therapy fluff. Just real talk, real tools, and real change.
Not Sure If Therapy Is Right For You?
Maybe you’ve thought:
“Do I really need therapy?”
“What if they don’t get me?”
“What if I cry and it’s awkward?”
Totally valid questions. Here’s the truth: reaching out for help takes guts. And if you’re reading this, something in you already knows it’s time. Let that be enough for now. We’ve got you from here.
Empowerment begins with understanding your unique needs and reclaiming control over your life.
Meet the Team at Outside the Norm Counseling
You’re the one holding it all together … until you can’t anymore.
Maybe your teen is battling anxiety or shutting down. Maybe your marriage feels more like coexisting than connecting. Or maybe, for once, you’re calling for you.
At Outside the Norm Counseling, we help overwhelmed moms, anxious teens, and struggling couples move from survival mode to real healing. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues—we’re here to help you and your family get unstuck.
Our Approach
We specialize in trauma-focused care using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma Focus Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TFCBT), Play Therapy (PT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Our work goes beyond surface-level solutions. We don’t do band-aid therapy.
We help you understand what’s happening beneath the stress, the shutdown, the overwhelm—so you can heal from the inside out. With clarity, compassion, and practical tools, we walk with you every step of the way toward lasting change.
