Hello! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with extensive experience helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I utilize evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), I guide clients on a journey of healing, personal growth, and transformation, empowering them to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
Hi! Do you feel overwhelmed with constant racing thoughts making you feel anxious, or unhelpful negative self-talk causing you to feel depressed and mentally fatigued? These patterns of thinking can negatively affect your job, relationships, and ability to cope with daily life. You don't have to navigate this alone. We can work together and reframe these unhelpful thoughts to a healthier mindset so you can regain your sense of calmness and balance.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with teens, adults, and families. I enjoy collaborating and listening to what you want to achieve. I support you by providing the skills needed to manage your daily struggles and ultimately reach your goals. My approach to therapy is person-centered, allowing you to gain your own understanding of your experiences to promote personal growth.
I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to support you in the healing process, and I tailor every session to your specific needs by utilizing a vast assortment of other therapeutic approaches. I get great pleasure in educating and helping you reach your maximum potential. It's an honor to be trusted with your story, and I bring that same care to every session we share. My goal is for you to leave each session with practical tools and a clearer sense of your own strengths. Whatever brings you to therapy, we'll move at your pace, with your goals guiding our work together.
You already have the tools and skills necessary to thrive in life, but these skills need to be identified and honed in order to be put to use and effective. My approach to psychotherapy is to focus on strengths and build resilience as we address problems of living. Life is hard and together we can be brave. My treatment approach is based in third wave behavioral therapies (mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy). My primary focus is holistic care, recognizing and treating the whole person.
I have spent over 15 years working as a mental health provider in the medical setting, dealing with life and death situations that affect my patients and their families. This work has allowed me to be present for the full range of human experience and recognize the strengths that each individual possesses. I have a background in philosophy, which informs my perspective on the challenges that people face and ways to resolve problems. In addition i have specialized experience working with LGBTI+ individuals.
I live in Phoenix and am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in CA, AZ, and VA.
Hi there, I'm Maria Teresa! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience in treating individuals including adults and children. I help my clients identify the roots of their struggles in life and find strategies to make the changes they need.
If you feel down, fearful, feeling like all is falling apart; this may be the moment to meet and talk together about it. I am here; ready to listen and mindfully work with you to understand your needs.
You are brave and have the answers you need, but you may want help right now to “tune in” to those answers. Stress, overwhelm, and long-term patterns may be too much right now.

I specialize in complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, relationship problems and the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and grief that can go along with these problems. I have been in the field of psychology either learning, researching, or providing services for almost 40 years. I have over a decade of experience providing trauma-informed educational services, mental/emotional health therapy, and grief counseling.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in mindfulness, attachment-informed work, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

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.

Congratulations on taking the first step in finding support - it's not easy to ask for help! My name is Bryssa (Bree-sa) and I am here for you.

I want to help my clients set boundaries, learn to identify and communicate their emotions, find their power and develop their sense of self worth.

I hold an LCSW license (Licensed Clinical Social Worker #118448) and am committed to the values of social work in everything that I do: service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity and competence.
Welcome! I'm Mia Grajeda-Willard, LCSW. I am the proud spouse of a Marine Corp. veteran and the granddaughter of a World War II veteran. These amazing humans are proud of their military service and the legacy it provides their families for generations to come. While that is true, what is also true is that transitioning from military life back to civilian life was a struggle for them, as I know it is for many veterans and their families.
I have committed my career to serving those who served this country by walking alongside veterans, and their family members to affirm their identity, transition back to civilian life, heal from painful traumas, and reconcile ruptures in relationships that may have resulted in challenges from military life or pre-military childhood upbringings.
Hello! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in California. I have almost three decades of working with families, adolescents, and young adults who have experienced a wide range of challenges. Mood issues, anxiety, various traumas or general disappointments are experiences that we all often experience. Life transitions happen. Therapy can be useful as you learn how to navigate through various experiences.
My name is Ashley and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated with my Masters in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2021 but have been working in the field as a Clinical Therapist since 2020.
I genuinely enjoy working with many different people, but I especially love individual therapy with clients who are a little neurospicy like me, parents and caregivers who feel burned out or stretched too thin, and people trying to heal from trauma or unhealthy relationship patterns.
I’m very trauma-informed and values-oriented in my work. I like helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotions, behaviors, and patterns while also figuring out what kind of life and relationships actually feel aligned with who they are. I often work with ADHD, anxiety, attachment and relationship concerns, caregiver burnout, life transitions, and parents of children with special needs or higher support needs.
I know therapy is not about having everything figured out. Sometimes it’s about finally having a place where you don’t have to perform, hold everything together, or explain why you’re exhausted. I try to bring warmth, honesty, humor when appropriate, and practical tools into the room while still giving you space to process at your own pace.

You can expect me to create meaningful encounters for you to work with emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and relational patterns in real time. Our process will be thoughtful, appropriately paced, and attentive to any needs, concerns, or issues that come into the room.
Whether you need support enhancing your work performance or relationships, adjusting to a major life transition, healing from a trauma, navigating a time of darkness, despair, and loneliness, or any other important issue, I invite you to connect with me to explore if I can support you on your healing journey. ** I am not accepting couples at this time.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping people feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful — even when life feels overwhelming.
I am trained in EMDR and my approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal from difficult experiences, and build skills that last long after therapy ends.
Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone.

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.
I am passionate about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe in meeting each person where they are and partnering with them to uncover their strengths, develop practical tools, and move toward a more fulfilling life. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, hopeful, and confident in their ability to create meaningful change.
Hello! My name is Erika Behnke, I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist.

That said, we'll definitely talk a lot about relationships and try and understand and strengthen them as that you can thrive.

These experiences have strengthened my commitment to helping people navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, insight, and well-being.
I believe effective therapy considers the full context of a person's life, including family, community, and environmental influences. My experience as Head School Counselor at The Berkeley School reinforced the importance of early intervention, strong support systems, and creating safe, trusting spaces where people can heal and grow. Whether working with children, adolescents, adults, or families, I strive to provide a collaborative and empathetic therapeutic relationship.
I currently serve part-time as a Mental Health Therapist III with Sutter Health in a Partial Hospitalization Program, providing individual and group therapy to adults recovering from acute mental health crises. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, I help clients build stability, develop coping strategies, and navigate transitions in care using evidence-based approaches.
In addition to my work at Sutter, I have maintained a private practice since 2017, providing psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My integrative approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy (MDFT), and Narrative Therapy. I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance that supports lasting growth and meaningful change.
