THERAPISTS
Clint Newell, LPCC, CSAT
I have a long history working with adults, teens and children who struggle with depression, anxiety, identity and relationship problems. What sets me apart from other therapists is my work in helping men and teens struggling with pornography and problematic sexual behavior, as well as family and partners impacted by these issues.
My approach:
I believe that no one is beyond hope, and by changing the way we tell our stories, we can change the way we see ourselves and the effect we have on the world. I encourage clients to define what wellness looks like for themselves and help them find the path to physical, mental health, relational, and spiritual wellness. I use a variety of techniques including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to change the way that people conceptualize themselves and world around them, correct faulty thinking and to provide new tools for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
My experience and certifications:
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #25) with a Master's degree from the University of Colorado at Denver in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education and 15 years of experience working as a professional counselor. I started my career in Utah with the Utah Network on Juveniles Offending Sexually. After moving to the desert 10 years ago, I worked in substance abuse and sex addiction rehabilitation centers for many years. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and have California Sex Offender Management Board certification (CASOMB). I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Qualified Supervisor and I am currently taking on new interns.
Testimonial:
"Clint has an apt ability to listen combined with a knowledge of how to ask the right questions. Instead of giving cheap answers, he will get you to the heart of a problem. He will give a straightforward answer when it is needed, but he loves asking questions that dig deeper than simple habit adjustment. He will challenge you to ask yourself the tough questions, which has helped me feel confident and equipped for future struggles. While he is always there to help, you can tell Clint's goal is to get you to a place where you have the tools to overcome your own obstacles." - Chris, La Quinta, CA

Cynthia Stava, APCC, CSAT Candidate
I am an Associate Licensed Clinical Counselor (BBS license #6252) and a graduate of the Townsend Institute at Concordia University. I believe that counseling is an opportunity for a counselor to come alongside someone in their journey. I offer my clients compassion and a safe space to express themselves, providing unconditional positive regard throughout their journey of discovery and empowerment. My counseling style is eclectic because I firmly believe that not all interventions and approaches are effective with every client. Counseling should be a personalized experience, so I choose to draw from whichever approach is best suited to my client and their needs. I am humbled by the opportunity to help my clients through whatever storms they may be experiencing. I view the therapeutic relationship between a counselor and a client to be similar to that of a team in which a goal is set and we then work together using our joint strengths to achieve that goal. I work with teens, and adults to build self-esteem, resilience, coping tools, and fulfillment in life.
