**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY** Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are. These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.

I work well with individuals or couples who experience symptoms of stress and anxiety, as I maintain a calm demeanor, work with a sense of humor, and maintain an optimistic approach. It's not my approach to talk through people’s past and earliest traumas to get us caught up to the modern day challenges. Instead I find it more effective to begin with the challenges faced in the present moment; and then we can move backwards as appropriate. Mental health involves a relationship with lifestyle and physical health, so these can be important areas to touch on in the first sessions. I have specific experience working with people from across all cultures. Scheduling sessions is your decision. Feel free to meet weekly, biweekly, or as needed. For five years I taught psychology, cross cultural studies and statistics as a faculty member in a small college. I then began to see patients with severe mental and physical health impairments in an inpatient setting. Now I am working primarily with clients in my outpatient private practice, as well as supervising psychologist interns. Additionally I am working with vulnerable adults in a community care setting outside of my private practice. My background is in research, evolutionary and mindfulness based philosophies, and I have a strong interest in working with cross cultural populations, couples and individuals.

I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.” ― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Hi, my name is Marina Mosson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience dedicated to supporting mental health and well-being. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Long Beach State University and am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I firmly believe that every person possesses unique strengths, talents, and coping skills to overcome difficulties. My role as a therapist is to help clients access and build upon these strengths, empowering them to create meaningful change in their lives. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space, offering thoughtful feedback and gentle encouragement when facing difficult decisions or complex emotions. I incorporate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting. As a dedicated professional, I continually expand my knowledge through ongoing education and research to ensure the highest quality of care for my clients. Above all, my goal is to provide a compassionate, safe, and empowering environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, build resilience, and move toward personal growth and healing.

*PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING* Hi friend, I'm Trinity! Are you a sensitive woman who struggles to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Are you motivated to put in the work it takes to change your own life? I'm glad you're here. In my practice, I'm honored to provide mental health services for adult women who want to holistically address and resolve issues related to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, identity, career, life transitions, spirituality, and self-esteem so that they can identify what's not working, build on what IS, and make some changes that ultimately support resilient, joyful, and fulfilling lives. Weaving together many years of training as a therapist, creative writer, and nutrition practitioner, I want to see all the women I support thrive. Seeking therapy can feel scary but I promise you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with warmth, compassion, and a wholesome approach so you can overcome the challenges holding you back.

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 the state. 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 Aetna?

Yes! If you use Aetna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Aetna 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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

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.
