Being a therapist is a lifelong passion for me and is rooted in my dedication to supporting adults, children, families, and communities in building safety, resilience, and hope. My journey has taken me from my home county of Santa Cruz where I advocated and ran groups for youth living in situations including domestic violence from 2011-2013, to working as a shelter counselor in Oakland for youth 13-21 from 2016-2018. I worked in serving famillies with San Francisco Child and Family Services, where I partnered with families navigating reunification with their children while providing psychoeducation and crisis counseling during critical moments from 2018-2022. I have been licensed with my LCSW since May 2025 and focused my prior professional development around harm reduction and culturally focused treatment, aligning with my commitment to social justice and culturally responsive care.

Hello, I’m Ciarys, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Texas. As a therapist, I believe that a kind and supportive, client-focused approach is crucial in helping navigate the many challenges that life can bring. I create a warm, nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive space where we can explore and address the various thoughts, emotions, experiences, etc. that can make everyday life tough. Life can be full of challenges, and sometimes, seeking professional support can be a game-changer. I’m proud to be able to meet my clients where they are at, as we explore what therapy has to offer. NOTE: At this time I am not able to provide evening or weekend appointments. My current scheduled openings are M-TH 10am - 4pm (Pacific Time) / 12pm - 6pm (Central Time). Please note that I will be also unavailable the month of April and May 2026. I grew up in Los Angeles, California and am currently residing in Austin, TX. I earned my Bachelors in Psychology with a Minor in Chicano/a Studies at the University of California Los Angeles in 2012 and my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree at the University of Southern California in 2018. As a Latina woman, I have had the privilege of serving the Spanish-speaking community in addition to serving English-speakers of all different races and backgrounds. Specifically, I have experience providing counseling services to adolescents, adults and seniors. In 2023 I opened my private practice, Alta Therapy Center, with the hopes of making mental health more accessible.

I am originally from Los Angeles and moved to Amherst Massachusetts to study photojournalism at Hampshire College. While I appreciated that pictures tell their own stories, I felt pulled to linger within the ongoing experiences of the folks I captured on film. Obtaining my graduate degree in psychodynamic therapy from Smith College confirmed the importance and complexities of witnessing people beyond just a moment in time.

Hello. My name is Ana and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (128445), in the beautiful state of California. I have been in the counseling and social work field for 25+ yrs. Simply stated, I was born to do therapy, it is a gift and an honor. I am a safe, trusting and caring person, that is able to connect with a diversity of people, especially those that feel inadequate. I have worked with children, teens, elderly, foster care, gang members and most recently, death row inmates in prison. I have found through many of those experiences that emotional pain, feeling alone, being scared to live and having anxiety or depression is common and universal. However, I also know that the desire to live a deeper, peaceful and meaningful life can also be a driving force. I too have done much of that internal work and reflection in my life. I have learned that it is OK to be just me, no longer fearing to live the life that I have earned and deserve. I would love the same for you.

Hello, my name is Maria "Cristina" Hernandez. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I’m truly glad you’re here today. As a psychotherapist, my main goal is to support individuals in navigating life’s challenges and helping them discover tools that empower them to reach their full potential. I find deep fulfillment in witnessing people make meaningful progress toward their personal goals. Therapy is just one part of who I am. I’m also a friend, partner, and stepparent—roles that shape my perspective and contribute to the person and therapist I am today. I would describe myself as warm, empathetic, and a good listener. These qualities allow me to create a safe and welcoming space for my clients, which is essential in building trust and connection. I was raised in a Christian home, and the values instilled in me—such as humility, honesty, respect, and compassion—have strongly influenced both my personal life and professional approach. These principles continue to guide me in supporting others with integrity and care.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a decade of diverse experience across adolescent mental health, juvenile justice, homelessness care, and therapeutic case management. My clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and attachment-based modalities. I also integrate a range of complementary techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from my broad training and hands-on experience in complex care environments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with youth navigating trauma, systemic barriers, and emotional challenges, helping them build resilience and reclaim agency. My work in juvenile justice and homelessness care has deepened my commitment to equity, advocacy, and trauma-informed support. Whether in one-on-one therapy or multidisciplinary case coordination, I strive to create safe, collaborative spaces where healing and growth are possible. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process—it’s a dynamic partnership. My style is compassionate, grounded, and adaptive, empowering clients to explore their inner world while developing practical tools for everyday life. In this dynamic partnership, I encourage my clients to communicate openly with me regarding my own approach so that I may better adjust my style to meet their needs. Outside of my professional life, I recharge through travel, fitness, journaling, and video games. These personal passions fuel my creativity and balance, reminding me of the importance of play, reflection, and exploration—values I often bring into the therapeutic space.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I help moms who feel tired, worried, or overwhelmed. Many moms love their kids very much but feel stressed, guilty, or like they’ve forgotten about themselves. They want to feel calm, happy, and more like who they used to be. I’ve been helping people for many years, and therapy with me is a safe place to slow down and take a deep breath. We work on simple tools to help you feel less worried, handle big feelings, set healthy limits, and take better care of yourself. If you want more calm and confidence, you are not alone. We will work together to help you feel stronger, supported, and more at peace as you find your rhythm again.

Hi, I’m Amy a wife and mom of three, including a 6-year-old son with significant medical needs, which has shaped so much of who I am as a person and as a therapist. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an authentic, relatable approach because I know how often we lack the tools to understand our emotions or why we react in ways that don’t always align with who we want to be. Life can send us on unexpected journeys that shatter our world, and from my own experience, I believe therapy provides the grounding and skills that make those moments survivable and even transformative. My goal is to offer a compassionate space where you can learn tools, feel understood, and move toward peace at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

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. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
