I am Dr. Audrey Levy. I live on a boat, and my private practice hours are available 24/7 by appointment only. I also make house calls. I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress Reduction, Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management and Crisis Counseling. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. As a Doctor of Psychology and psychotherapist for 45+ years, I've dealt with my own grief and loss by writing the nonfiction book, "Doggie Wisdom for Humans: Advice from Dogs for Humans of All Ages," and an autobiographical fiction series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo." I hope you have an opportunity to read my books and that I get to help you.

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

Have you found yourself wondering, “What is going on, and how do I make things better?” Whether you’re concerned about your child, navigating the challenges of adolescence, or facing difficulties in your own life, you may be wondering if it’s time to talk to someone who can help. Often, we feel we should be able to figure things out or manage life’s challenges on our own. But working with a skilled mental health professional can make all the difference. Therapy offers more than a space to talk; it provides the guidance, expertise, and supportive therapeutic relationship needed to navigate difficult experiences, understand complex emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change. I enjoy getting to know each person as a unique individual and tailoring my approach to their needs. With children and adolescents, I focus on fostering self-esteem, strengthening emotional regulation, and helping them understand and express their feelings in healthier ways which improves behavior and relationships. With adults, I help uncover underlying patterns and experiences that may contribute to relationship difficulties and emotional distress. Across all ages, I work to help clients develop greater self-understanding, build on their inherent capacity for growth, and experience a more fulfilling life.

You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts to make a change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, substance use, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy focused on helping you understand the deeper roots of your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as a whole person rather than defined by your symptoms or past experiences. My goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, find greater balance in your life, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles or figure everything out on your own. If you're ready to better understand yourself and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Life Transitions
Do you feel like you’re running on empty, constantly asking yourself, “Why does everyday life feel so exhausting, and why can’t I just get it together?” When the gap between where you are and where you want to be widens, it’s easy to slip into self-doubt, burnout, and the nagging sense that you’re falling short of your potential. Navigating a major life transition—like stepping into parenthood, managing a career pivot, or moving through a divorce—can shake your foundation and push your bandwidth past its limit. When your mind feels constantly overloaded, daily tasks can start to feel like impossible mountains. Here is what you need to know: you are not broken, and you are not failing. My approach is warm, deeply collaborative, and grounded in real life. I don’t sit back and nod in silence while you drown in the overwhelm. Instead, we look directly at the areas where you feel like you’re hitting a wall. Together, we roll up our sleeves to lower that wall, breaking big hurdles into small, manageable steps that actually fit the way your mind works. There is zero room for shame or judgment here. You don’t have to put on a front, apologize for losing your train of thought, or pretend you have everything figured out. This is a supportive space to bring the messy, unfinished drafts of your life, rebuild your self-trust, and find steady ground on your own terms. Ready to stop fighting yourself and start making real progress? Reach out today to schedule an appointment.

I know how confusing and isolating it can be when your relationships aren’t working, parenting feels overwhelming, or you’re questioning who you are and where you're headed. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a space where people can feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I’m a parent myself, so I get how chaotic and meaningful life can feel all at once. I’m also someone who’s always learning—about people, relationships, and the world.

Warm greetings, I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I feel strongly that each of us deserves a space where we can feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted for who we are. Originally from the beautiful island of Saipan in Micronesia, and having spent many years living in Hawaiʻi, my own journey as a third-culture kid has shaped the way I see the world and connect with others. It has given me a deep appreciation for the ways our culture, family, relationships, and sense of belonging shape who we are and how we experience life. With over 15 years of experience in the behavioral and mental health field, including nine years as a clinician, I have had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges, transitions, and moments of growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe you bring your own strengths, wisdom, and capacity for change, and my role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your experiences, discover new perspectives, and create meaningful change. I know that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and I hope to offer a space where you can come as you are, feel comfortable being yourself, and know that you don't have to figure everything out on your own. It is truly a privilege to be invited into your life and to be part of your growth journey.

Hi, I'm Jaclyn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, perfectionism, and self-esteem. I am passionate about helping people build a healthier relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves so they can spend less time struggling and more time engaging in the things that matter most to them. Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted by constant self-criticism, food and body thoughts, anxiety, or the pressure to get everything "right." They may find themselves stuck in cycles of restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, despite their best efforts to change. My goal is to help clients better understand the patterns keeping them stuck while developing practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, self-compassion work, and values-based approaches to help clients develop greater awareness, emotional resilience, and flexibility. I believe that lasting change is most sustainable when it comes from a place of understanding and self-compassion rather than shame or self-judgment. Therapy with me is not about achieving perfection. Instead, it is about learning how to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, self-awareness, and kindness toward yourself. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can occur. Reaching out for support can be difficult, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life. This sounds polished for Grow while still feeling like you—warm, compassionate, and clearly focused on eating disorders and body image work.

Through this approach, we work together so you can drop the heavy armor of perfectionism, honor your grief and lived experiences, and safely rebuild a life of sustainable balance, resilience, and authentic well-being. You are likely used to being the strong one—the reliable overachiever who navigates a demanding career and life's complexities with seamless grace. But beneath the surface, the relentless pressure has left you running on empty. You don’t have to wait until you hit a breaking point to finally prioritize yourself. Together, we will untangle the overwhelm and honor your unique experiences across these core areas: • Burnout & Work Stress: Shifting from chronic depletion and over-functioning to sustainable boundaries and true mental clarity. • Relationship Dynamics: Navigating communication blocks and the unique strain of maintaining connections when your own battery is completely drained. • Chronic Pain & Illness: Processing the invisible emotional toll, identity shifts, and grief of living with long-term medical conditions. • Infertility & Reproductive Trauma: Holding sacred space for the silent grief, anxiety, and heartbreak of difficult, exhausting fertility journeys. • Pet Loss & End-of-Life Decisions: Providing deeply compassionate, non-judgmental grief therapy for the devastating loss of a companion animal or the heavy burden of medical end-of-life choices. Your story deserves a dedicated, supportive space to be seen, felt, and held. Together, we can collaborate to create practical tools that ease the overwhelm and bring you back to yourself.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and overwhelming emotions. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you feel more confident and in control of your life.

¡Hola! I’m Dr. Aglaed Mayorga (ah-GLAH-ed), a licensed psychologist in private practice serving individuals across California. As the proud daughter of Nicaraguan and Mexican immigrants, I was born and raised in Los Angeles in a home where Spanish was the only language spoken. Like many of our families, my parents came to the U.S. seeking new opportunities, navigating cultural shifts that shape us across generations. For over twelve years, I’ve worked in both clinical and forensic settings, supporting people from all walks of life through talk therapy for anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, especially when family turmoil, abuse, or trauma makes everything else feel heavier. My goal is to offer a welcoming, culturally grounded space to help you understand inherited family patterns and begin uncovering and healing unspoken pain that shows up in your life.

Hi! I’m Dr. Kelly Horton, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people reach their goals related to greater peace, healthier relationships, self-understanding, emotional balance, and personal growth. My journey into psychology and the field of therapy began with curiosity about the “whys” of human behavior—why people respond the way they do, what helps some people become resilient, and how healing relationships are built after trauma or dysfunction. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward? I work with adults and couples who are seeking greater clarity, connection, improved communication, and emotional balance. Whether you are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, trauma, or patterns that no longer feel sustainable, therapy can offer a supportive space to better understand yourself and your relationships. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen communication and coping skills, and create a path forward that feels supportive, practical, and meaningful. I’m passionate about helping clients understand themselves more deeply, strengthen connection, and break cycles that no longer serve them.

Life can feel overwhelming when self-doubt, fear of rejection, past hurts, or negative thought patterns keep you feeling stuck. I believe therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, gain insight into these patterns, and create meaningful change. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an insight-oriented approach, I help clients identify the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, we explore the challenges that are holding you back while building on the strengths you already possess. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. As you develop greater self-awareness and learn new ways to respond to life's challenges, you can begin making choices that support healing, growth, and emotional well-being. Change is not always easy, but taking the first step is often the most important. If you are ready to gain greater clarity, confidence, and peace, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression. I use a solution-focused approach that targets your specific needs and includes homework between sessions to help you make meaningful progress. Therapy is a collaborative process. I use motivational interviewing to help you identify sources of stress and anxiety, then provide tools and skills to lessen these disruptive feelings. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and family system patterns.

I’ve had the honor of working closely with children, families, and individuals healing from various forms of trauma and impacts of mental health from a cultural lens. Along the way, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the many different ways family life can shape us, sometimes in unexpected or challenging ways. I’ve worked in a variety of roles and settings, as a Director, Clinical Supervisor, across government agencies, to private and mental health centers, which has helped me see each person’s story from many angles. My approach is compassionate yet direct, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. Whether you’re looking for support for yourself, your family, or your relationships, I’m here to walk alongside you with kindness and respect. Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
