Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for 8 years. I help pre-teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with different life challenges become the best versions of themselves. I work full time as a Behavior Health Counselor for a school district in California, and I take clients part time in the evenings from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. I pride myself in developing strong and authentic relationships with my clients as they include me as part of their healing journey. I work best working one-on-one with clients and their families. I no longer take on clients for couple's therapy.

I am a first generation, bilingual Latina Therapist and mom. I know first hand what it's like to carry both an emotional load and the unspoken weight of cultural expectations. I created a space where you don't have to choose between your culture and healing. Clients often say they feel heard and less alone in our sessions. I went to CSUN and received my Master's in Social Work. I have since worked with children of all ages, families, and young adults in schools and 1:1 therapy. My treatment areas are: *Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health *Anxiety, Overwhelm, Depression, Burnout, Stress *Caregiver Stress & Sandwich Generation Challenges *Cultural Identity and Generational Trauma *Life Transitions *First- Gen Mental Health experiences

I have a lifetime of experience and practice. My passion in my practice is helping people find their true selves buried under the suffocating weight of the trauma and abuse they have survived. I am not a stranger to therapy. I have had good and not-so-good therapists, and those experiences helped inform the kind of therapist I wanted to be, both in what I want to do and what I want to avoid. My upbringing discouraged me from seeking help outside of an insular community, so I know firsthand how powerful taking that first step is. Seeking therapy doesn’t mean you are weak. It means you are wise enough to admit that you need help, and strong enough to take that step toward healing. Once you take that step, every step after it gets a little easier. Here’s a little about my training. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT #119674). I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. My education focused on somatic psychology, which studies how the mind and body affect each other. My experiences and passions led me to focus on all kinds of trauma, its causes, and how to manage and heal from it. Beyond being your guide and therapeutic partner… I am a wife and mother. I find my peace and center in forests and near the ocean. A good story and board games bring me joy. I relax on my Catio with my two black cats and enjoy music.

“Your wound is probably not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility.” Denice Frohman Hello! Bienvenides! You have made the choice to care for your mental health and I am so glad you're here! I believe that tending to your wounds shouldn't happen in isolation and that healing is a responsibility, but not one you should bear alone. I have witnessed that true growth begins when you show up as you are (flaws, strengths, and all) and you allow yourself to be seen, heard, and cared for. A lot of my experience is in trauma and parenting. These two topics can bring up so much! And they require a willingness to be vulnerable and transparent, but never at the expense of your wellbeing. That is why I believe that it is vital to meet you where you are, move at your pace, and to tailor therapeutic interventions to best suit your shifting needs and circumstances. I enjoy working with youth and parents that are cycle breakers, troublemakers, and get a dopamine rush out of challenging the status quo. Can't wait to meet you! A little about me is that I am of Mexican descent (¡Viva Chihuahua y Sonora!) and have lived in Mexico, Arizona, Florida, and Michigan- and now California. I love creating memories with my family, gardening, being a parent, collaging, and reading. You have already taken the biggest step, now let’s do the rest together!

I aim to create a therapeutic experience that is truly your own. Recognizing diverse experiences and backgrounds, I tailor interventions to be both culturally sensitive and responsive to each person's unique situation. I use a holistic, strength-based, and integrative perspective to address the whole person within their environment, rather than isolated symptoms. Using techniques from approaches like CBT and Mindfulness within a Person-Centered framework, I will help support and empower you in recognizing your resilience and provide tools for positive change, resulting in a more fulfilling life.

I have over 12 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For almost seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background. My first experience using telehealth was during the pandemic. With the increase of mental health needs, I discovered the importance of being able to provide services through the telehealth platform. It inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.

Hi, my name is Ariane and I am a California-based LCSW. I earned my Masters at the University of Illinois but returned to my home-state to further my career.

Hello! I offer adult clients (18-80) individual therapy. I have more than 10 years of experience and specialize in solutions, strengths, and change. I see therapy as an important part of a holistic approach to overall well-being. I draw on eclectic sources including Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Feminist Therapy, and Person-Centered Psychology. This approach seems to work best for most people.

I work with individuals who grew up with a pervasive sense that they were “outside the box”. Perhaps this was due to neurodivergence, cultural differences or struggles with gender and/or sexuality. Many of my clients arrive with previous diagnoses of ADHD, autism, anxiety and/or depression. They often have a creative side that has been suppressed in order to focus more on developing a professional self. Many of my clients report feeling like they have to wear a mask in the workplace and in social situations. It is not uncommon for them to feel lost, numb or lacking direction in their life. As a therapist, my strengths are in my ability to follow creative lines and tie together seemingly complex thought and behavior systems to give you deeper awareness of the issues that present for you. My education and experience in community health and mental healthcare has prepared me as a therapist to provide therapeutic care that goes beyond asking deep questions. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental and is driven by the strengths of my clients. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Together we can find a path.

I am an LCSW from CA. I am a rarity, as I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have lived all over southern California. I have also traveled throughout the state and known how the state is unique. I have experience working with the military, Veterans, and their families. I also have experience working with families and children of all ages. My journey to mental healthcare I did a lot of volunteer work and held a few AmeriCorps positions (America's version of PeaceCorps). I fell in love with helping people and I was told in order to achieve this, I would need to go back to school and complete my MSW.

Hello dear reader, I am Carol, born and raised in Malaysia and have been residing in the US for over three decades since my undergraduate years in New England and eventually resettling in Southern California. Prior to my full time work as a therapist, I spent most of my life engaged in social justice work focused on racial solidarity building, immigrant rights and worker rights advocacy and in the anti-violence against women movement. I have a background in healing and prevention work within public health, health and community mental health agencies, immigration, family and criminal court-based trauma services, in academia, with global NGOs on women's health services for over three decades in the US and South East Asia. This drive to engage in social change work stemmed from my experiences growing up as a child of working class immigrants in Asia, having experienced, embodied and witnessed the painful effects and realities of racism, colorism, classism and xenophobia, from as young as I can remember. Gratefully, I also experienced the antidote in the goodness, solidarity, strengths, creativity, joy, mutual aid, deep friendships, faith, spirituality and community caring for each other, amidst life's hurdles. As a child, I strived to be a part of the solution, not a bystander, but an agent of social change, to knit communities in solidarity for peace. As a grown person, I have met my calling in bearing witness for healing harms done to the soul, holding a nurturing, loving and protective space for those looking to mend the raw and painful places that have yet to be tended, to find or reclaim the innate voice of your wisdom to speak your truth and to build, rebuild or restore inner strength and confidence.

I have over 15 years experience providing clinical and case management services to populations including, but not limited to: Medical and chronic pain issues; anxiety; sex and relationship struggles; couples issues; substance use and eating disorders. I am distinguished by my training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Freedom "Tapping" technique, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Contemplative Care. I am licensed in CA, ID, VA, FL, TX, NJ, and WA. There is a way out. Those who come to see me are often at a crossroads, frustrated at how they are trying to deal with problems and seeking workable strategies and solutions to cope. Therapy is meant to be a space to feel welcome to talk about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are problematic. Understanding unhealthy behaviors, frustrations with life, and/or unsuccessful efforts to cope can help reveal the obstacles that may block your path to growth and desired outcomes. Why do we explore? So you can live a life YOU want to live!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience, I bring a holistic, mindfulness-centered approach to supporting individuals, couples, and families.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California (LCSW 113586). I earned my Master of Social Work degree in 2019 from California State University, San Bernardino. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, transitional-age youth, adults, and older adults. My professional experience spans a variety of settings, such as schools, nonprofit community-based programs, county mental health programs, and secured facilities, allowing me to develop a broad understanding of the unique challenges individuals face at different stages of life. I have provided both therapeutic services and case management support to individuals experiencing a wide spectrum of mental health needs.

Hi there! I'm Tritia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) here in sunny California. I help those who aren't able to help themselves and instead help everyone else first. We will identify the barriers and challenges that make it difficult to make you the priority. We'll utilize an integrative approach, tackling those unhelpful thoughts while ensuring that your whole self is being worked on as well. I offer a no-frills, conversational style approach with different interventions sprinkled in to help you with anxiety, people-pleasing, and/or perfectionist traits. I provide a (virtual) space that's tailored to your goals and needs. I meet you where you are, even if you get a bit "creative" with your language. I am not a blank slate therapist, meaning you will engage with someone who will authentically show up in sessions. Contact me and let's see how we can work together!
