I work well with people who want honesty, humor, and real conversations — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, burnout, identity exploration, or just feeling stuck.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in California. I have worked in many different roles for various organizations with diverse populations.

Hello! My name is Brigit Jacoby and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide clients a therapeutic guide to healing, developing tools to navigate life’s challenges as well as build on what is currently working. My therapeutic approach is heavily dependent on what my clients bring to session including managing Anxiety, Depression and working on balancing personal and work relationships.

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

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California and Licensed for telehealth in Florida with five years of experience. I received my master's from Simmons College in Boston. I am here to help you work through your current life challenges with the goal of helping you to be the version of yourself that you can have peace of mind with. I have experience with a variety of populations, backgrounds and needs. I do not believe that people are cookie cutter, instead I feel that I must tailor my therapeutic approach to best suit each client. I am also a great match for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community as I am a CODA who is fluent in ASL as a second language.

Hi, I’m Kristine Asatryan, LCSW. Life can be overwhelming at times, and it takes courage to reach out for support. My goal as a therapist is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, find balance, and create a more peaceful, fulfilling life. My philosophy is simple: yesterday is gone, today is what matters, and tomorrow is out of our control. I help my clients focus on the present moment, build self-awareness, and make meaningful changes that lead to lasting growth. I strive to provide a warm, compassionate space where you feel safe to explore your emotions and challenges without judgment. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, or simply feeling lost, therapy can be a powerful path toward healing and clarity. As a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend, I understand the importance of human connection and the many roles we juggle in life. My approach blends empathy, mindfulness, and cultural sensitivity with practical tools for emotional wellness. My work is guided by the values of respect, kindness, love, family, service, and integrity — the same principles that shape who I am both personally and professionally. If you’re ready to rediscover your confidence, calm, and purpose, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Please note: Sessions are scheduled on the hour (e.g., 3:00 PM), not on the half-hour (e.g., 3:30 PM). Thank you for your understanding as we improve our scheduling system.

Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this pattern has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively in reaching your goals.
