The decision to connect with a mental health professional takes courage and self-awareness. The pressures of life can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. Most times, with our busy daily lives, we don't take the time to check in with ourselves physically, mentally, or emotionally. Being more mindful and aware of how our mind and body interact and influence each other can help reduce anxiety, depression symptoms, improve mood and give us a better understanding of not only ourselves but have the ability to appreciate the world around us through a more positive lens. My approach is cognitive-based while also using mindfulness techniques. During the therapeutic process, I aim to empower my clients to regulate their emotions and become skillful in handling those things within their control. I specialize in complex trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, exploring life transitions, and negative thought processes. I aim to create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable discussing difficult topics. I want clients to feel comfortable to be able to share their thoughts and feelings without the feeling of judgment.

Hi, my name is Alyssa, my cultural background is Italian and Hispanic. I am also married to an Iranian and have learned for decades about Iranian culture. I am familiar with first responders and have proudly been invited to do several ride-alongs with a local Police department. I began my work practices as a therapist in the Bay Area of California and have been serving for 8 years. I enjoy providing a non-judgmental environment to support you with providing skills and tools to improve life's challenges. I went to NDNU for my master's program, earning my Master of Science in clinical psychology. I did my undergraduate degree at Menlo College in Atherton California. Most of my time has been a significant amount of years working with children aged 0-5, in school settings, and with couples. I enjoy engaging in relationship building, providing tools you can apply daily, and also with women who have experienced trauma. I also am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with my Italian Greyhound "Rocco", with my husband and children, hiking, and engaging in meditation during my free time. I also love the color pink and have a love for collecting crystal beads and making jewelry.

Throughout my professional career, I spent 10 successful years working in the banking industry and another 10 years in pharmaceutical sales, exceeding in various sales and managerial positions. However, I was constantly drawn to psychology and eager to study the relationship between conscious and unconscious phenomena and the role of feelings and thoughts. Therefore, I was keen to make a career change to becoming a psychotherapist. To pursue my goal, I enrolled in a master's degree program in psychology, which required a significant time commitment. I often spent long hours in the evenings and on weekends reading textbooks, writing papers, and preparing for exams. Balancing my studies with my full-time job was challenging, but I was determined to succeed.

Hello, Therapy can bring to you improved self-awareness and confidence that will allow a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, as well as help you to connect with others to establish enriching and satisfying relationships. Locating the right therapist can be quite a task! Hello, I’m Teresa Haro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California [License #117156], focused on providing comprehensive Telehealth services in California. Conditions like trauma (PTSD, complex trauma), depression, anxiety, chronic illness, addictions, attention deficit hyperactivity/ disorder, and Bipolar can be addressed since they often lead to feeling like life can be difficult.

Difficult relationships, intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, relational stress, abuse, grief, loss, low self-esteem, the cycle of life transitions, and co-dependency issues can impact the quality of life. I aim to assist you in harnessing your inner strengths and building resiliency to manage and thrive during difficult times, and life transitions. I have experience utilizing interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, positive psychology approaches, and mindfulness practices. I approach therapy from a client-centered perspective focusing on compassion, genuineness, and empathy. I help clients connect with the meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I have had the privilege to guide the following populations: college students, women and their concerns, domestic violence survivors, survivors of sexual abuse, gay men (MSM), immigrants, victims of abuse, adults, and seniors. *I am a graduate of Antioch University, Los Angeles, California. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. My undergraduate degree is in Chicano Studies from California University Dominguez Hills, Carson, California. I am fluent in Spanish, and Bi-cultural. Together we can face any complexities that arise in a safe space.

Hi, I’m Jami Kulkin. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 31 years of experience helping people heal, grow, and feel more at home in their lives. I offer a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach to therapy—one that honors your whole self: mind, body, heart, and spirit. Clients often come to me when they’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply the sense that something isn’t working anymore. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, grounding space where you can explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and discover new ways of showing up for yourself and your life. My work draws from a wide range of tools, including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, EMDR, hypnotherapy, somatic practices, and spiritual insight. I also bring a Doctorate in Naturopathy and training in fitness, meditation, and sexuality—which gives me a broader lens to support healing from the inside out. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every client is different, and I meet you wherever you are—with compassion, curiosity, and care. Whether you want structure and goals, meaningful exploration, mind-body practices, or simply a space to be heard without judgment, we’ll work together to find what truly supports your growth. If you’re ready to make meaningful changes and approach life with more clarity and confidence, I’m here to support that process with deep experience and a grounded sense of intuition.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Arizona and Indiana. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary. I have had the opportunity to work in and gain knowledge from a diverse collection of settings that include elementary, middle and high school, hospital chaplaincy department, private practice and private agencies working with families in the child welfare system. Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems. I take a non-judgmental, warm approach to therapy and I believe in tailoring my therapy towards my client's individual needs. Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being. I draw from a multitude of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Clients who work with me have a desire to change. Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult. I am excited that you are here and look forward to taking this journey alongside you.

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, I’m Eva, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in both English and Spanish. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. My approach is compassionate yet direct—I’m here to help you cut through the overwhelm, get to the root of what’s holding you back, and give you practical tools to move forward. I believe that growth happens when you balance insight with action. Together, we’ll explore patterns that no longer serve you, build healthy coping skills, and work toward the life you want—whether that’s setting boundaries, managing anxiety, or rediscovering your confidence. I draw from a blend of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic principles. But more than anything, I trust my intuition to guide each session, meeting you where you are and creating a space that feels safe and empowering. Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. You’ve already taken the first step—let’s keep moving forward, together.

I get satisfaction from being a voice of reasoning for others through my genuineness. I consider this a life purpose for me. I am driven by a deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those struggling with their mental well-being. I believe in providing a safe space with a non-judgmental stance while supporting the patient through his or her emotional well-being and encouraging autonomy.

Hello! My name is Jordan. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I am motivated to help individuals and families build healthier relationships with themselves and the people around them. Being open and vulnerable with someone new can be very scary! My goal is to create a meaningful relationship with my clients by providing support, respect, and a safe environment to help build confidence, compassion, and resilience. I support clients who experience anxiety, depression, past trauma, non-traditional relationships, and neurodivergence. I also support families who are struggling with parent-child conflicts, LGBTQ+ youth and how to support them, and young children with behavior problems. If you find yourself suffering in your relationships or life in general, let’s work as a team to find helpful solutions! Together, we can build tools and work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your struggles, help you to deal with life’s hardships, and support you building meaningful social connections and relationships. It is important to me that you know I am human too, so from me, you will receive authenticity, humor, and realness. I have experience working in community mental health and school based counseling. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I am always attempting to grow my knowledge in many areas within the mental health field, as I know generations, cultures, trends and humans are always evolving. I have a huge passion for learning through experiencing new cultures. I have been fortunate enough to volunteer in five different countries around the world and I feel I have grown both professionally and personally during all of these opportunities. I look forward to supporting you in whatever hopes, dreams and goals you have for yourself.

**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 believe that healing happens when we embrace our most authentic selves. My practice is built on a holistic, down-to-earth approach—one that honors the mind-body connection, values lived experience, and meets you exactly where you are. With a background in behavioral science and therapy, I specialize in supporting parents and caregivers of children with complex diagnoses, families navigating behavioral challenges, and adults seeking deep, sustainable change. Whether you're a parent feeling overwhelmed, an individual exploring alternative lifestyles, or someone ready to break old patterns, I offer a judgment-free space to realign with your truth. Together, we’ll blend evidence-based strategies with intuitive, heart-centered care—because transformation isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about rediscovering who you were always meant to be. Let's get you back to you.

As a child I was always very sensitive and curious about the world that surrounded me. It came natural to help people and I knew that I wanted to give back to the world at large. Just like you I suffered from some childhood wounds. My parents did the best they could with the tools they had. But due to their struggles I became a very codependent child wanting to save and fix my parents to simply gain the love I desired. Later on I would be able to understand this cycle and name some of the patterns I lived out. People pleasing, losing myself in toxic relationships and not fully loving that little girl inside of me. Once I became a LMFT and gained the knowledge and tools necessary I was not only able to break my own patterns, I was also able to help others find joy and deep meaning in their lives. Ultimately I specialize in helping people understand their patterns and be more effective communicators in their world. My role has been a guide and coach for my clients, providing innovative approaches based on Gestalt Method, Ancient Forgiveness Techniques, Psychodynamic Therapy, NLP and Hypnosis. I use these techniques to help my clients break patterns, many of which are fear based as a result of early childhood trauma that causes emotional issues in the present. This is deep and powerful work, and is necessary to enable a positive path to desired future. I look forward to working with you and guiding you on the path to healing and freedom.
