Therapists in California

Hello & welcome! I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I have more than half a decade of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish. I enjoy supporting and empowering my clients through periods of distress, anxiety or depression. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and change. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that each individual has unique strengths, experiences and challenges, and I work collaboratively with my clients to develop effective strategies to navigate those challenges, find the strength to achieve positive change and the person they would like to become.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy based in California. I have been a practicing clinician for 5 years and I've worked in the Mental Health field for a total of 11 years. My approach is eclectic; I work primarily from a modern Psychodynamic Therapy approach and implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies. I believe that by ‘making the unconscious, conscious’ and better understanding the “why” we can then take actionable steps to create positive change. I believe we all have the essential tools within ourselves needed to build a better and safer space, a place where we can flourish into the people we always thought we could be. At times, we may find ourselves feeling lost in the midst of our daily functions, perhaps even feeling hopeless or chaotic. As an empathic and non-judgmental listener, I am up for the task of helping you uncover those tools. Let’s get you there. You are your own greatest strength.

Hello, I'm Melanie. Do you feel like your life is out of control due to your circumstances, your anxiety, or other factors? We can work together to determine what's not working and how to make life run more smoothly for you so that you feel more at peace. I have 17 years of experience as a therapist in varied settings as well as lots of life experience with loss, mental health issues and parenting. I promise to provide you with a safe space to express yourself as well as plenty of evidence-based techniques. I hope we get the opportunity to work together to help you start to feel more in control of your life and your current situation.

Hi, I’m Jamie Pimentel—welcome to Your Therapy Café. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in California and Montana, specializing in treating OCD and anxiety disorders. I work primarily with women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who are tired of living in constant overdrive—overthinking every decision, feeling trapped in anxiety, or stuck in the exhausting cycle of OCD. These decades can bring exciting changes but also intense pressure, perfectionism, and self-doubt. My role is to help you navigate it all with more ease, clarity, and confidence. This work is deeply personal to me. I know from lived experience how intrusive thoughts and overwhelming fears can take over your days and steal your peace of mind. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can talk about anything—even the thoughts you’ve never said out loud. Using proven approaches like ERP, CBT, and ACT, I help my clients quiet the mental noise, break free from compulsions, and build the tools they need to feel calmer, more grounded, and back in control of their lives. You don’t have to do this alone—there is a path forward.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I help adults navigate challenges like anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, and self-esteem, always offering empathy and authenticity in a safe, inclusive space.

Welcome! My name is Tiffany and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I was born and raised in occupied Tongva land (Los Angeles), and I am the child of Chinese-Vietnamese refugees. I speak fluent English and conversational Mandarin and Cantonese. I am not comfortable with conducting full psychotherapy sessions in Mandarin or Cantonese but am happy to substitute Mandarin or Cantonese words or phrases throughout the session. I was a first-generation college student and a student organizer as an undergraduate and graduate student. I hold a Masters in Asian American studies (ethnic studies) and a Masters in Social Work. I have been practicing as a therapist in community mental health settings as well as acute inpatient psychiatry. I only work with folks 18+. I have extensively worked with formerly incarcerated folks and folks who identified as unhoused, refugee, immigrant, and victims of sexual assault. I became a therapist to work with BIPOC communities, especially women and femmes of color. After I saw the lack of access to culturally relevant therapy for BIPOC communities I knew that I wanted to become a therapist. I pride myself on being a trauma-informed, culturally relevant, Socratic therapist. I utilize various therapeutic modalities depending on my client's needs and goals. I offer a non-judgemental space for individuals who are experiencing relational issues, anxiety, depression, trouble with school/work, difficulties adjusting to different life stages, and individuals experiencing psychosis. I also offer sliding scale rates for folks who are not using insurance.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, I love helping adults overcome anxiety, depression, and anger management challenges using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused approaches.

Since 2017, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate depression, stress, anxiety, major life events, and issues specific to the Latinx, BIPOC, and immigrant communities. I aim to create a therapeutic experience that is truly your own. Recognizing diverse experiences and backgrounds, I tailor interventions to be both culturally sensitive and responsive to each person's unique situation. I use a holistic, strength-based, and integrative perspective to address the whole person within their environment, rather than isolated symptoms. Using techniques from approaches like CBT and Mindfulness within a Person-Centered framework, I will help support and empower you in recognizing your resilience and provide tools for positive change, resulting in a more fulfilling life.

A little about me—I’m a proud Xicana, a deep-thinking introvert, and someone who genuinely enjoys the calm and comfort of home.

Sometimes life becomes challenging. We get sad, depressed, overwhelmed, and often we can’t seem to get back to our “old self.” Sometimes we just need someone to talk through our feelings with no judgment.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology, an APA-accredited program, in 2008 and became licensed in 2010. I like to delve deep into our attachment styles developed early in life, and explore how it is impacting our current functioning. I believe, and research shows, that the relationship between the therapist and client is the biggest predictor of change. In light of that, I think the therapeutic process can offer corrective experiences, helping us develop a more secure attachment style to navigate through life with.
