Therapists in California

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, and I help adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles with warmth and practical support. Together, we'll explore your strengths and work toward meaningful change, one step at a time.

I identify as queer, fat, femme and have a mixture of indigenous and colonizer DNA. I share this first because the way we identify matters. Many reasons and factors stop us from being ourselves around others and often, when we can't fully live who we are, our mental health suffers. If that's you, I'm here to help. We can work through body image issues, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, trauma, conflict management together if you're willing to do the work of honestly engaging in therapy with me. I grew up on the East Coast to immigrant parents from Colombia and lived in SoCal for 15 years and recently moved back home to be near my parents. I have a rescued pitbull that brings me lots of peace and joy and you might see him napping behind me via telehealth sessions. I enjoy hiking, cooking, reading (fiction for fun), and taking care of my indoor plants. I love learning about indigenous wisdom/practices from all over the world, herbalism, tarot, and other healing practices and beliefs that folks use to find meaning and wellness. Last but not least, I really love my job! And I do it because I believe in it and have witnessed many people shift, grow, break patterns and learn new ones that significantly improve quality of life. If you're curious but unsure if I'd be the right fit for you, email me and we can schedule a 15 minute chat (free of charge) where you can get a better idea and ask a few questions to find out if this would be a good option for you. Please keep your email short and only include your interest in scheduling a 15 minute call and 1 or 2 sentences of what you're looking for. My email is: ericaarizalcsw @ gmail.com

Is your inner critic really loud, having trouble coping with stress, seeking life balance and a deeper connection to your authentic self? Well I am here to help! Hello there future client! Lovely to meet you! My name is Rachelle (pronounced rey-chuhl). I am a Holistic Practitioner and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a specialization in Art Therapy, bilingual English/Spanish speaking, a first gen Dominican-American, and former New Yorker living in SoCal. I specialize in supporting BIPOC experiencing chronic mental health issues define themselves as individuals and not by any trauma they may have experienced. In addition to applying a trauma-informed lens, psychology, and art, I integrate holistic approaches like Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, somatic movements, and sound therapy to create unique treatment interventions for my clients. I know that starting therapy can feel scary. Especially when you have been labeled as "the problem", think you are not good enough, or have been conditioned to suppress your emotions. This is why developing trust in the first stage of treatment is of the utmost importance to me. I apply a compassionate and non-judgmental stance to help my clients feel safe when sharing their stories and starting their therapeutic journey. Think we could be a good fit? Go ahead and schedule your first session. Let's work together to help you connect with your authentic self and improve your mental health! Looking forward to hearing from you! Please note - I am not a good fit for clients interested in couples therapy, clients experiencing thoughts of death/dying with or without a plan, clients engaging in self-harm, clients who have been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons at anytime in the past 12 months, clients needing support with substance use, and/or children aged 8 and under.

Hi! I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a performance. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor into the room, and I work best with people who are ready to get curious about themselves, even if they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Before becoming a therapist, I earned a BFA in Film & Television Production. I especially enjoy working with creatives and folks in non-traditional careers, but I love supporting people from all walks of life. Prior to shifting to telehealth, I worked in residential treatment with individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. That experience deeply shaped my compassionate and non-judgmental approach. My style is collaborative and flexible, drawing from CBT, solution-focused therapy, ACT, and person-centered methods to meet you where you are. Outside of therapy, you can usually find me hanging out with my husband and our dogs, listening to and discovering new music, making playlists, going to shows, making jewelry, passionately cheering on my favorite sports teams, or catching a movie on the big screen. Life can feel like a lot sometimes, and I’m here to help you sort through it at your pace, with no judgment and a little humor when it helps.

My goal is to help guide those that have lost their way, to help them build or rebuild the relationship with themselves that will allow them to make better choices.

My job is to hold the light and lead the way to insight and self-love.

But when trauma and anxiety go unspoken, they don’t just fade—they show up in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of self.
