Currently not accepting couples, fully accepting you! I work exclusively with adults in individual therapy. If you’ve been stuck in the endless therapist scroll, trying to figure out who actually feels safe, relatable, and honest enough to open up to... welcome! I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective. Many of the people I work with are carrying anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, identity exploration, burnout, anger, shame, grief, or the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” Some feel disconnected from themselves. Others are tired of surviving and want to start living more intentionally. My approach is warm, grounded, direct, and deeply human. Therapy with me is not about analyzing you from a distance or pretending to have all the answers. It is a collaborative space where you can slow down, speak honestly, make sense of your experiences, and begin responding to yourself and your life differently. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I balance compassion with honesty. I will support you, challenge you when needed, and help you notice patterns that may no longer serve you without judgment or shame. I work best with clients who are open to reflection, ready for meaningful change, and willing to engage in the process at their own pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels authentic, conversational, and intentional in the work, we may be a good fit.

Hello, my name is Michael Chavez, LCSW, and I provide individual therapy to adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, work related stress, and relationship issues. I understand how tough life can be. Before I became a therapist, I went through my own challenges — unhoused, unemployed, and struggling with substance use. Getting sober and working my way through college wasn’t easy, but it shaped the way I show up for others now: with understanding, patience, and zero judgment.

I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where growth and healing can occur.

Hi there! This human experience is quite the journey, isn’t it? The fact that you are struggling does NOT make you weak, it means you are human! Nobody was given a manual for how to live life and we all have our own challenges. Perhaps you feel alone, lost, not good enough, angry, depressed, anxious, or all the above. Perhaps you feel stuck in the past or like you can’t get out of your own way. Whatever you’re struggling with, we can use these challenges to learn from and grow into who we truly are.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Art Therapist. I received my Masters from Loyola Marymount University and have been practicing for 6 years. I have experience working with clients of all ages, but I am truly passionate about helping transitioned age youth (17-25), adults, and the elderly. I hope to be part of your therapeutic journey by using a variety of evidence-based approaches to support your treatment, empower you to find solutions, and help you develop individualized coping skills.

I approach our first session with wanting to know what prompted you to book the session. This is because people usually book a therapy session with an issue in mind, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that if you are motivated to change your mindset and ready to work on yourself, that you will be able to feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on. We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- find it on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble, "The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness." I offer you my podcast- "All Things Therapy," which can be found on iTunes and Spotify. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 425 episodes related to mental health, fitness, and personal transformation for you to dig into. I intend that the show augments therapy and gives you a resource to look for topics you are facing in the show titles and then listen and apply what is offered and see how that changes things for you.

It is your story, and I am here to listen, support, and help you explore your aspirations, identify your goals, and work together to create a future chapter that aligns with your desires and values.

With a vast array of modalities and techniques, I am able to guide you towards health and healing. Although my primary method of therapy is talk therapy, I often use body exercises, creativity, and psycho-education to help advance your progress. I do not work with any one specific group or symptom and would never want to limit my practice to one specialty, but there are several areas in which I have especially deep expertise and passion: Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, Loss and Grief, Recovery from Addiction, Empty Nest Syndrome, Anger Management, Boundary issues, Trauma, Feelings of Overwhelm, PTSD, Cancer, Aspergers, and Trauma, to name a few. You will find me deeply caring, fully engaged, compassionate, insightful, and an active listener. You will get feedback in every session, and occasionally, I will suggest "homework" to reinforce lessons learned in the sessions. Using a mind-body approach, I like to integrate techniques that reduce stress "from the bottom up," incorporating somatic awareness, mindfulness, DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy), and Polyvagal exercises. I also practice what I preach and have built a full life with friends and family, gardening, reading, outdoor anything, dance, yoga, swimming, needlepoint, scrapbooking, and hiking. Let's get you back on track, process issues from your past, update the internal narrative, and find a way for you to feel more at peace with yourself, your life, and your relationships.

Hi there! I’m a licensed therapist based in California, offering virtual sessions to help you navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My journey into mental health was shaped by my own experiences growing up. As a child, I struggled with learning and often saw the world in black-and-white terms. Working with a school counselor taught me to organize my thoughts, and in doing so, I became curious about my own distorted thinking. By reframing those thoughts, I noticed that life felt more manageable. That experience sparked my passion for helping others find clarity in their own lives. As I grew older, I realized that rigid thinking wasn’t sustainable. Instead, I learned to embrace balance, define my values, and create a life that aligned with what truly mattered to me. Now, I love working with curious, engaged clients who are ready to explore and improve their lives. With a background in schools and community mental health, I create a compassionate, judgment-free space where we can work through your challenges together. You might even get a quick visit from my two golden doodles, Cuppy and Cookie, who love popping by during sessions! Outside of work, I enjoy savoring loose-leaf tea, listening to financial podcasts (because finances and mental health often go hand in hand), and spending quality time with my nieces and nephews.

I created Mental Scandles after my own mental health journey brought light, calmness, and comfort into my world. Everyone has a mental health journey and I am here to assist in acknowledging the shifts with ease and patience. Through humor, patience, empathy, and respect I will assist you ensuring you hold yourself up even when you feel the mental scandal is too much.

Hi there, I'm Mary. Something I find myself saying often is: "it's hard to be human." Life brings so many ups and downs, and our own histories, genetics, circumstances, life events, etc. can impact how we find ourselves functioning from day to day. I am passionate about helping clients discover the tools and frameworks that work for them to meet their own identified goals for their life and decreasing the emotional intensity of symptoms causing barriers to meeting those goals. In 2010, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master’s of Social Work and earned my license to practice independently in 2013. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Family & Child Sciences at Florida State University in 2005 and my Doctor of Philosophy in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University in 2017. (A bit of a random PhD, I know...my dissertation research was about the relationship between social identity and emotional well-being for service members and veterans in the context of community reintegration.)

I’m Tyler Dawnee Young, LCSW, with over a decade of experience in mental health and healthcare settings. I work with high-achieving women who are thoughtful, self-aware, and often overwhelmed beneath the surface. My approach is relational, insight-driven, and collaborative, focused on helping clients feel understood, make sense of long-standing patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when the relationship feels right and when clients are willing to engage actively in the process—not just in session, but in their everyday lives as well.

Hey, I'm Olivia! Are you ready to laugh, cry and create a connection with someone who is not going to give you cookie-cutter responses? Then keep reading. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to throw it all out on the table, be met with compassion and validation and begin to piece together what they want to keep and what they want to toss. Many times in our lives, we put on certain identities and expectations that may not be ours but we keep them on out of comfort, fear, habit, you name it. I am here to help you sift through the pieces of you that you know but also become curious about the parts of yourself that you do not know. During that process, you can begin to find power in your choices and practice the art of being able to decide for yourself who it is you want to be. The stories you have come to believe about yourself are worth exploring and together, we can build a relationship where I will challenge those beliefs with you and assist you in building confidence to shift into your most authentic and understood self.

We are living in difficult times. You can't seem to get over the anxiety or depression about your everyday life. What's worse, your partner or family member seems to not care at times, making things even harder for you. I understand. Better is possible, and I'm here to help. I have a passion for helping individuals in personal growth. I have been working with adults on relationship issues, anxiety, and depression for over ten years. My specialty is personal empowerment work, as I strongly believe that solid relationships are formed from solid individuals. Currently, I only take new clients for individual counseling.

I have been a social worker since 2006 and decided to start my private practice in the midst of the pandemic as stress levels rose from fear, job changes, financial issues, child/eldercare, relationship issues, racial injustices, air quality, displacement by the wildfires, climate change, the list goes on. I thought it was a crucial time to offer support and will continue to do so.

Hi there, I'm Edward, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a diverse background in my years working in the mental health field which includes having two Masters in Social Work and Criminal Justice. I have worked with families, individuals, and couples, with issues such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, thought disorders, and emotional disturbances. I have worked in a variety of different settings that have helped me develop a unique skill set in addressing overall mental health. Some examples include outpatient/inpatient care, hospice, the prison system, and the education system. My approach is collaborative and I strive to make my patients feel understood and heard throughout the process. I often explain to them that even though I may be the professional, they are the professionals of their own lives and it's just an honor to play a small part in supporting them.

"Life is a journey, travel it well." I believe we're all on our own individual journeys of life that sometimes put us in valleys and sometimes on top of hills. When it comes to the valleys, sometimes it's alright to reach out to someone for a little guidance and help. Hi, my name is Ryan and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. One of my favorite parts of my own journey has been navigating the complexities of young adult life stages from college, to work, romance and beyond. But whether or not it's life transitions or just a need for someone to journey along side you during a difficult time, I am here to help.

My promise as a therapist is to be with you every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you!

Are you always the go to person? Do people constantly comment on how you always know how to handle things? Or maybe that they don't know how you do it all! Maybe sometimes you don't even know how you do it, but you keep going. You keep showing up and doing it all. But when you need support, it feels like theres no one you can really lean on. It can be hard to know where to start to begin really take care of yourself, but it's possible to change things and create a life you truly love. I can help you find the answers you're looking for inside yourself and build a life you feel connected to and truly worthy of. If you're ready to stop putting everyone else first and learn how to show up for yourself and live a life where you are energized, I can help!

Being able to help others has always been at the heart of who I am. It’s what first led me to serve in the Armed Forces, and it continues to guide my passion for this work today. Supporting people through life’s challenges isn’t just my profession it’s my purpose. No matter what you’re facing, going through, or feeling, you don’t have to face it alone.

As your therapist, I will walk alongside you offering guidance, support, and practical tools so that together, we can build the skills and confidence you need to grow into the best version of yourself.

Hello and Welcome! I am a social worker who has been in the field for over 20 years. Early in my career, I was fortunate enough to work with a psychiatrist who believed there was more to treating mental health than medication. I participated in a training with him and I was transformed as a therapist. I was trained in the relaxation response and mindfulness meditation and using the body to help heal people who have had significant trauma and mental health challenges. From there, I went on to get my yoga teaching certification from Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Since then, I have been helping children, adolescents and adults learn more about themselves and help them connect with the truest part of themselves. I believe my purpose is to help people learn to love themselves. I lived in CA for a long time and still hold my LCSW license. I was fortunate enough to study with a number of teachers at Spirit Rock Meditation Center who have influenced my work. I blend a number of different frameworks into my practice including trauma-informed CBT, DBT, somatic psychotherapy and self-compassion. I am mindful and respectful of all differences (racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, economic, gender, sexual orientation, ability etc.) and strive to understand each person within the context of their life history. Every person who seeks treatment has unique needs and goals. I strive to work collaboratively with you to keep your goals at the center of our work together. I stand in solidarity with the BIPOC community and all those impacted by systemic racism and oppression. I will uphold my own values and ethics and support all those who are speaking out against injustice of any kind. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a safe space for all.

Therapy can help you better understand your experiences, heal from past wounds, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.
