MJ Klimenko began her private practice in Benicia, CA in 1990 after working as both a co-director and clinician at two psychiatric hospitals: First Hospital Psychiatric and Solano Park Hospital. In addition, she worked with Vietnam Vets suffering from PTSD and with their families at The Concord Vet's Center. She also worked at Parent's United, a treatment center for victims of molest, as well as at Solano County Mental Health working with the persistently, chronically mentally ill.
She began her private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Since that time she has acquired four levels of proficiency in hypnotherapy, making her a Master Hypnotist and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. She also attained licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.
MJ Klimenko works with individuals, couples, and families. She's an expert in communication skills and has given seminars and lectures about successful communication techniques, on the job, at home, or in a relationship. She does both brief and long term therapy depending on the needs and goals of her client and believes that many cases of depression and anxiety stem from not knowing one's "true self" as opposed to whom he/she thinks she's supposed to be
She has worked with many individuals, men and women, struggling for meaning and success in their lives and particularly enjoys that work.
She's worked with the LGBT community since the inception of her private practice twenty-five years ago.
As a published writer and poet, she also works with creative people who have creative blocks or are interested in actualizing their potential to the fullest extent possible.
MJ believes that, with many years of serving her community, her education, and her clinical experience, being sixty-seven years old has given her the life experience and insight many younger therapists might not have.
Currently, in addition to her office practice, she's capitalizing on being a "night owl" by being available when other therapists have usually closed their offices for the day. Someone feeling troubled during the night, needing to process right then, can just go to her website and see if she's available through the "get help now" button. If she is, she is available for phone, chat, or email sessions and accepts PayPal.
