Therapists in California

Hello, I am Michelle Wenzler, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. I use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and difficult life situations. Together, we'll work toward greater self-understanding, emotional balance and a more fulfilling life. Whether you are a young adult facing new transitions or a senior seeking meaning and peace in later stages of life, my goal is to support you in finding resilience, clarity, and confidence in your journey forward.

Welcome — You Deserve a Space to Be Seen and Heard As a proud Latinx, cisgender woman and the first in my family to earn a college degree, I understand the strength it takes to navigate multiple worlds — balancing cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and personal goals. Living with a vision impairment has deepened my appreciation for how our identities intersect and shape the way we experience life, resilience, and healing. In our work together, I offer a culturally affirming and inclusive space where your story matters. Whether you’re exploring generational patterns, identity, or simply seeking relief from life’s pressures, I bring both personal insight and professional experience to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Let’s connect and see how therapy can support your growth and well-being.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My style is compassionate, relatable, and goal-oriented. I work with young adult women navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I provide a supportive, collaborative space where we focus on emotional awareness, mindfulness, and practical tools to help you build confidence, set boundaries, and feel more grounded in your daily life and relationships.

Hello, I'm Erika. I hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a B.A. from Park University in Parkville, Missouri. My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, utilizing various theoretical interventions to guide and treat each client uniquely. My varied work experiences include serving the community as a Child Protective Investigator with the Department of Children and Families, a Juvenile Probation Officer with the Department of Juvenile Justice, and a Discharge Planner/Mental Health Tech, and Utilization Review Specialist within a Psychiatric Crisis Stabilization Unit. I have provided outpatient, inpatient, IOP, PHP, individual, couples, family, and group therapy at both mental health community centers and addiction residential treatment facilities. Additionally, I have participated in both Drug Court and Mental Health Court practicing forensic psychology.

Hi, I’m Lacee Musgrove, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for children and teens ages 12–17. I specialize in supporting children and teens living with diabetes, as well as anxiety, depression, chronic suicidal ideation, and self-harm behaviors. I help youth build coping skills to manage stress and develop the emotional resilience needed to navigate both mental health and medical challenges. I also work closely with parents to support compassionate, effective responses at home.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with clients from all paths of life, helping them with life transitions, burnout, identity and sexuality, relationship issues, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma and co-occurring disorders such as alcohol/substance abuse and chronic pain. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance to establish a safe place for you to explore and process your struggles and challenges. I have a warm, compassionate, relational approach and will help you broaden your perspective and move toward changes that will make life more meaningful for you. I will embark on this journey and walk alongside you, both supporting you as well as challenging you to grow and create a fulfilling life. All of my work is trauma focused and based on mindfulness and compassion practices. Fundamentally, I work from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy perspective and integrate parts work, compassion and EMDR. I am originally from Austria, which has provided me with a unique perspective that is rooted in a collectivist culture and graduated in an individualistic culture. In addition, I have traveled the world extensively, which has impacted my worldview tremendously. This viewpoint has provided me with insight into and understanding of individuals’ lives from a variety of backgrounds. My love for nature has informed my practice to a degree I would have never imagined. I perceive mindfulness meditation as much more than sitting still for 30 minutes and will help you find ways to integrate what you learn into your daily life in a way that fits you. Nature doesn’t judge but rather it exists fully. Mindfulness is not a skill, it’s a lifestyle.

My name is Olayinka Okin. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working in the Mental Health and Social Services fields for about 7 years serving Fresno and Madera County. I have 4 years experience working in Psychiatry facilities and 1 year plus experience working in Mobile Crisis. I have provided services to individuals, children, youth, and family.

Most of my experience as a psychotherapist has been in treating individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, and other significant life changes (workplace stress, chronic illness, aging). I have worked in health and human services in different parts of California for the past 30 years. I have been a telehealth psychotherapist since 2021. Just before the pandemic I was working with people who needed support to find housing and provide for their basic needs, as well as people needing substance use treatment. As a social worker I have also worked with people experiencing trauma, chronic health conditions/disabilities, age-related circumstances and grief/loss. (Also, I have a good understanding of social services and mental health resources in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially Contra Costa County. In my free time I enjoy baking, hiking, playing with my Boston Terrier, Bruno, and between the months of March and October, I watch a lot of baseball (Go Giants!).

I am a kind, caring and understanding person who places value on my love for all people. I believe all people matter regardless of who they are. I value providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental, direct, and compassionate space by actively listening and providing support and guidance to clients so they can become the best version of themselves. The most important qualities we desire as humans are to feel valued, heard and respected. This is exactly what I model.

I’m a licensed therapist with experience across hospital, school, and community settings. My approach to therapy is rooted in cultural sensitivity, deep reflection, and meaningful change. I became a therapist to help break harmful generational and socioeconomic cycles, and I’m passionate about shifting unhelpful thought patterns. In our sessions, we will focus on building a life that feels more intentional and aligned, using practical, real-world tools that fit your day-to-day reality.

Hello, I'm Barbara, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly 10 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in community mental health and healthcare settings. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique strengths and needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, parenting challenges, and family relationship concerns, with a special focus on women's mental health, perinatal mental health, postpartum adjustment, and maternal identity transitions.

I am a first generation American Muslim woman. Growing up in the western society, I gained insight and growth into my Muslim American identity. Married with two children, I enjoy the different parts of my life that shaped me to be who I am now. I would be best fit for individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, criminal backgrounds, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. I integrate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) as part of my trauma-informed care to help clients understand and grow. Together, we'll identify patterns that no longer serve you, process difficult experiences, and build practical skills that support lasting change.

Hello, my name is Kathy and I am a LCSW. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and learning about them.

I have been working as a counselor for about 4 years and I am privileged to do this type of work.

Hello - I’m Dr. Cynthia Stern, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC®). My approach to therapy is supportive, practical, and goal focused. Therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while also being challenged to better understand the patterns and obstacles that may be keeping you from where you want to be. I work with people who are accustomed to setting high standards for themselves and operating in environments where focus, confidence, and performance matter. My clients often want to manage pressure more effectively, strengthen their mental game, navigate personal or professional challenges, or find greater balance without losing the drive that has helped them succeed. My background in clinical psychology, organizational leadership, business, and mental performance allows me to bring a unique perspective to therapy. Together, we’ll identify what may be getting in your way and develop practical strategies to build confidence and improve focus. Our work will help you manage pressure, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change in both your personal and professional life.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. ¡Bienvenidos! Starting therapy and meeting someone new can feel a little uncertain. For me, therapy starts with getting to know each other and building confianza, so you can feel comfortable being yourself and telling me what’s really going on. Sometimes we all need un ratito to slow down, breathe, and hear ourselves again. I’m a bilingual English and Spanish speaking therapist, the daughter of immigrants, and a first generation college graduate. My language, culture, family, and the way I was raised have shaped how I see the world and how I approach this work. They’ve also taught me to stay curious about the experiences, relationships, cultures, communities, and environments that have shaped you. I’m also a Certified Nature-Informed Therapist (C-NIT), and nature is an important part of how I approach our work. That doesn’t mean every session has to be about nature or that you need to be outdoors. We might use grounding, natural imagery, mindfulness, nervous system awareness, or find ways for you to connect with nature in your own surroundings between sessions. Sometimes it’s simply about slowing things down enough to notice what’s happening inside of you. You may be used to being the one who keeps going, figures things out, or takes care of everyone else. Maybe lately you don’t quite feel like yourself. Maybe you’re anxious, tired, going through a transition, questioning a relationship, or realizing there are things you’ve carried for a long time that you finally want to understand.

Hi, I’m Marissa! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy can be meaningful without feeling stiff or overly clinical. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and the general messiness of being human. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, with plenty of room for humor, honesty, and those “wait…that actually makes so much sense” moments.

As a South Asian therapist, I understand the richness and complexity of navigating family, tradition, and personal identity. These experiences shape how we love, communicate, and show up in the world, and they are a profound source of resilience, wisdom, and strength. My approach is compassionate, strength-based, and solution-focused. Therapy with me is collaborative and action-oriented. Together, we’ll identify what’s driving your patterns, build on your existing strengths, and create practical, lasting change. I work with growth-minded individuals who are ready to break free from recurring relationship patterns, set healthy boundaries with family, partners without losing connection, navigate the space between cultures, generations, and expectations and build a life that feels aligned with who they truly are. Whether you feel stuck, are facing conflict in a relationship, or are simply craving clarity and a stronger sense of self, I’ll help you identify what’s working, build on your existing strengths, and take meaningful action. I understand how culture, family systems, and personal history shape the way we love, communicate, and see ourselves. Your background is not something to work around. It’s a source of resilience, wisdom, and insight that we’ll draw on together.

I am a 47 year old woman from Northern California, I traveled in and after college before settling back in my home town. I have a grown child, two rescued basset hounds and I like to keep bees. My husband and I live in the house I grew up in. I soothe myself in nature, in the trees or looking for tide pool creatures when there is a minus tide.

Hi! I am Katie. I am an LCSW from California. I am a California native, lived in both the tippy top of the state, the middle and now I hail from Southern California. I love working with adults who have had their struggles only to make it to where they are today. One of my superpowers is finding the superpowers in others, and I love watching them discover their abilities, grow, and change. My type of practice changes with each client, and their needs. I am filled with curiosity and love learning new techniques I can use to help my clients reach their goals.

Hi, I’m Rachael, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to providing a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel heard and understood. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University and my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Southern University. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. My goal is to help you gain insight, build healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I'm Samantha! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I work with college students, young adults, and adults who are ready to better understand themselves (even if you aren't quite sure where to start). You might be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, a major life transition, or just a persistent feeling that something needs to shift. You don’t need to have it all figured out or be in crisis to deserve support; you just need a willingness to show up. Outside of the therapy room, I love traveling and expanding my perspective on the world. I bring that same curiosity, warmth, and down-to-earth energy into my practice, focusing deeply on building a genuine connection so you feel truly supported from day one.

*Currently accepting female clients only* Therapy has changed, and thankfully so. The old idea of spilling your heart out to someone who feels distant, judgmental, or out of touch does not work anymore. So let’s not do that. I’m Jessica Milgrome, a licensed mental health clinician with 15 years of experience, a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I work with women navigating anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is modern, direct, and judgment-free. Therapy with me is a real conversation. No awkward silence. No walking on eggshells. No wondering if you said the wrong thing. We talk openly, focus on what actually helps, and skip techniques that do not fit your real life. Sessions can be video or phone. If video feels too intense some days, that is okay. Therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. To share a bit about myself, I’m a big fan of stand-up comedy because laughing really is life. I look forward to Mondays for Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlists and live by the mantra, “When words fail, let the music speak.” I also share my life with six dogs. I’m here to help you organize your thoughts, build confidence, set boundaries you can keep, and move forward feeling clearer and more grounded.

Hello! I am an LMFT in California specializing in Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Coercive Control, and Religious Trauma. I received my masters from LCU in 2018 and have been practicing for 7 years. I help people effectively process their trauma while giving them coping skills and education to heal and surpass what holds them back. I'm an expert in people. You're the expert on you. In working collaboratively with each other, I think we can accomplish a lot.

I am glad you are taking time to get to know me. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have my M.S. in clinical psychology from San Francisco State University and my undergrad in psychology from Purdue University. I have worked in San Francisco for seventeen years with multicultural families and individuals that have been in crisis. I have worked with a multitude of differing diagnosis and problems over this extensive period of time. I take such pride in helping families and individuals live a better life and obtain their desired goals. I am glad to have been around in my job long enough to have observed the positive results my contributions have made. I am passionate in wanting to help alleviate suffering and I stay determined in doing so.

As a trauma-trained therapist, I specialize in the treatment of trauma from a developmental and nervous system lens, crafted to meet a client’s unique needs. My name is Savannah Kraus, and I am a multi-cultural, Mexican-American, Marriage and Family Therapist. Integration is a core value of my therapeutic approach, and I enjoy blending aspects of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems “parts” work, and Brainspotting. I've been honored to walk alongside clients in healing from trauma and have learned that patience, curiosity, compassion, autonomy, and intuition are the cornerstone of trauma focused therapy. Following and inviting clients to reconnect with the intuitive process of their healing is my passion.

I'll never judge you—but I may challenge you. I believe meaningful growth happens when compassion and honesty work together. My practice is centered on creating a warm, supportive environment where adults can explore life's challenges, better understand themselves, and develop practical tools for lasting change. I recognize that every person brings a unique story, strengths, and experiences to therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to each client's individual needs, preferences, and goals. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and believe therapy is most effective when clients feel both supported and empowered. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, stress, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, my goal is to help you identify patterns that no longer serve you, build upon your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families to address a wide range of mental health concerns. My practice supports individuals navigating life transitions, engaging in self-exploration, or managing the everyday challenges that come with balancing responsibilities and relationships.

My role is to guide and support you in that process, helping you move toward greater balance, emotional well-being, and a more fulfilling life.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’ve been carrying a lot on your own for a long time. I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to pretend you’re okay or have everything figured out. Together, we create a space where you can show up honestly, make sense of your experiences, and explore meaningful change at a pace that feels grounded and supportive. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all process.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing online in California, Missouri and Oregon. I attended California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for graduate school and lived in the Bay Area for over a decade before moving to Portland, OR shortly before the pandemic. I have ten years of post-licensure experience as a "generalist" therapist, though I specialize in supporting individuals in the midst of life transitions, including but not limited to: relationship challenges, moves to a new city or state, new or chronic medical diagnoses, school, career or work problems, spiritual questioning, or retirement. I do NOT work with couples at this time. While I consider the psychological theories behind my work, I hold them lightly in the room, believing most fundamentally in the importance of an adaptive, culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental stance with my clients.

My goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you feel clearer, stronger, and more in control of your life, relationships, and decisions.

My name is Dr. Sheilly Arora, and I have been a practicing psychologist for nearly 20 years. I genuinely love what I do and consider it a privilege to help people navigate life's challenges and improve their overall well-being. I specialize in several evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and PTSD. My primary clinical focus is **Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)**, the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for chronic sleep difficulties. It is incredibly rewarding to see how transformative this approach can be, and I look forward to helping you achieve more restful sleep and a better quality of life if insomnia has been affecting you. Originally from the East Coast, I completed both my internship and postdoctoral training in California and have proudly called it home ever since. I feel fortunate to live and work in a community where I can do meaningful work helping others every day. This version reads naturally for a professional website, highlights your expertise in CBT-I, and conveys warmth without sounding overly formal. If your audience is primarily veterans or patients in a medical setting, I can also make it feel a bit more approachable and relatable.

A Place to Talk, Process, and Find Your Way Forward Life can be complicated. Sometimes you need a space that is just for you—to talk, process, reflect, and figure out what comes next. I’m a licensed therapist in California with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, communication struggles, and major life transitions. Therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, discouraged, or simply unsure of what comes next. Sometimes you need a place outside your usual circle of friends and family where you can be completely honest, talk things through, and gain a fresh perspective without judgment. Together, we can explore relationships, boundaries, communication, emotions, life experiences, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and feel more confident moving forward. I also work with couples who want to improve communication, strengthen their connection, work through recurring disagreements, or navigate different parenting styles. The goal isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong—it’s about learning to listen, understand each other, and work together more effectively. My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are and work alongside you as you navigate whatever life is bringing your way. You don’t have to be in crisis or have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes you just need a place to talk. Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. Sometimes you’re ready for a change. Whatever brings you through the door, we can start there. Please note: My practice is not able to provide services for individuals with current or past self-harm, suicidal ideation, or suicide attempts.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. University of California, Berkeley (UCB) for the AB in English and University of San Francisco (USF) in Counseling. Because of my personal experiences with having seizures when I was younger, I now concentrate on addressing the emotions and hopes and dreams of people who are dealing with the multiple, and often times consuming, issues of having a seizure disorder as well as any combination of realities and histories that equal the seizure experience. Please let me know if I can bring a more balanced picture to your life and those who you value and love in your life as well.

PLEASE Read Entirely: Families often come to seek more information on how to establish and produce healthier habits that benefit their well-being and self-esteem. They learn that the healthier they are, it increases their happiness and in turn benefits relationships. Kendall helps families and individuals explore and identify who they are, their communication style and how to protect these realizations with healthy boundaries. After learning more about themselves, families often feel much more equipped to decrease or rid themselves of symptoms that prompt them to seek therapy initially. It's always an honor, privilege and a wonderful opportunity to process with families in their sacred spaces. Consider starting your journey to Optimum Wellness today by scheduling a Live Session with Kendall Bradford, LCSW and Associates. Love and Light! ** Therapy is an emotional process and we do not conduct sessions while family's are operating moterized vehicles. Please do not drive during sessions and if you must, we can schedule a time for you to park or find a safe space to have the session. Thank you! ** We love couples therapy and family therapy. However, neither are not covered through insurance at this private practice. The price is out of pocket for couples or families between $150-$180 (depending on sliding scale). ** This practice does not provide consultation calls.
