The therapeutic relationship is one that I hold close to my heart, as it is a piece of the puzzle that allowed me to flourish into my true self. I know firsthand what it is like to struggle and feel as though the obstacles ahead appear to be near impossible, whether big or small. While in the moment they may seem insurmountable, truly these experiences become the seeds of transformation and the foundation for stepping into our greatest possibilities in life. I invite you to explore your struggles collaboratively in a non-judgmental and safe space to cultivate greater self-acceptance, empowerment, and strength as you reclaim your inner knowing. I’m looking forward to supporting you as you step into new possibilities in this healing and transformative journey.

Do you ever feel like you have to monitor, pull back, and even hide yourself from others? From friends, family, acquaintances, even from yourself? Do you tend to put your needs and wants at the bottom of the list? Are you ready to commit to you?
Together we will work side by side to help strengthen your confidence, awareness, insight, healing and make progress within yourself. As a Sex-positive, Kink-knowledgeable, Gender affirming, and Trauma therapist I understand that we are all different and provide a laid-back atmosphere. I focus on helping others build an understanding about not only themselves, their identity, their relationships, and the relationship they have with sex. Help others understand their trauma whether that be physical, mental, sexual, spiritual, etc. While utilizing evidence-based practices, I strive to support, encourage, and empower you. I view mental health as just as important as physical health. When an injury/illness occurs, seeking professional intervention, guidance, and support can improve overall wellness.

Hi! I'm Nancy Strong, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I received my masters degree from the University of Oklahoma and have been practicing for approximately 25 years. I help children, teens and adults.
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their future. Lets be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to ADHD, PTSD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, anxiety, depression, anger and stress
/self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

I specialize in developing positive relationships with clients using mutual respect, trust, and transparency to assist clients in getting to the place that they desire to be.
As an experiential therapist, it is my job to help you get in touch with the deeper parts of yourself by helping you identify the root cause of the issue, explore negative cycles, access feelings (both superficial and underlying), redefining the problem to help you to connect with disowned aspects of yourself. In this way, we can develop a plan that alleviates the root cause of the issue.
In therapy sessions, we look at feelings, body sensations, thoughts, and behavior. The experiential therapy process helps clients feel, explore, and expand upon experiences through various techniques that include dream analysis, personal history, interpersonal relationships, motivations, self-esteem, hopes, and dreams.

Hello! As a licensed clinical therapist, I provide respectful and compassionate services to help you identify your goals, and support you in coping with challenges along the way to achieving them. I have a social justice orientation that recognizes the impact of oppression, discrimination, and marginalization on mental health. I believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and kindly, and that our behaviors serve a function, whether unhealthy or healthy, understood or misunderstood.
I work with clients who struggle with various issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship problems, identity, and self-esteem. I use evidence-based approaches that are tailored to your unique needs and preferences. Some of the techniques I use include teaching skills around emotion regulation and distress tolerance, incorporating narrative therapy practices and cultural relational understanding of trauma and healing.
My aim is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I will listen to you with empathy and curiosity, and help you find new ways of understanding and effectively responding to what is coming your way. Together, we will work on developing your strengths, fortifying your resiliency, and further embodying your values in your day-to-day life.

I’m Erin and as an Integrative Psychotherapist, I focus on helping you to achieve balance in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Are you struggling with feeling sad, down, and/or anxious? Have you suffered trauma and/or abuse? Do you feel ashamed and/or guilty? Do you struggle with liking/loving yourself? Do you feel unworthy? Do you compare yourself to others and view yourself as less than and/or behind? Are you finding it difficult to keep up with all the responsibilities and challenges of life? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone, I understand, and I am here for you to create a safe space wherein you can express yourself and be truly heard as well as seen.
I specialize in toxic shame, Type 2 Diabetes, and autoimmune-related health conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Psoriasis.
I wholeheartedly believe in you and your capacity to work through your struggles and create a life of joy and passion.

Hello, I am Dion Smotherman.
Are you discovering that your plans for making tomorrow better seem to fade shortly after your day get going? Maybe you feel your creativity and enthusiasm have taken a vacation. Have you noticed your relationships are becoming harder to maintain and you long for the return of your creative self.
I enjoy working with families, couples, young adults and adolescents.
I specialize in working with you through marital conflict, grief, loss. anxiety, depression and trauma.
There are a few art materials you will need to purchase. I will provide a list. A beginning investment of $50 of supplies should work fine.
Let’s creatively work together towards making positive changes using Art Therapy and CBT.

Do you often feel missed by the people in your life? When you look forward does it sometimes feel impossible to experience something new?
As an Authentic Relating Facilitator, Nonviolent Communication Practitioner, and Licensed Therapist, I have a deep desire to attune to you and your world. Together we can illuminate the patterns and roads blocks that you have been experiencing. You need to know where you are to get to where you want to go. We can build a map to get you there.
Once we have a map of where we are headed, we will practice the skills needed to get to your desired life. Some of the skills we will use to navigate the terrain are mindfulness, somatic and mind-body practices, written word exploration, feelings and needs awareness, and vision/goals work.
Ready to take the journey? Schedule a free consultation to answer any questions you may have. You know the way, and I’d be honored to accompany you.

Hello, I'm Amber.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) accepting in person clients in Sonoma County and virtually from all over California offering individual ($160) and couples sessions ($200). I am passionate about the outdoors, animals, music, art, and new adventures and I try to blend this into my therapy as much as possible. In our sessions, we will spend time building a strong therapeutic relationship that will allow us to identify your strengths, your goals, and how to get you there.
I provide a compassionate, judgement free space and an integrative approach, assessing what interventions or approaches work best for you and tailoring your treatment to meet your needs and I am able to provide a sliding scale payment to make treatment more accessible as well.
I have 9 years working experience, and have been licensed for the past 1 year. I have worked as a Therapist, Clinical Director, and Clinical Case Manager within residential and outpatient settings providing care to adolescents, young adults, veterans, houseless individuals, individuals involved in the legal system, couples, and families. I feel strongly that through building trust and a strong therapeutic relationship, we are able to make progress towards goals and work to heal past trauma or tackle primary obstacles.
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to see themselves grow and change. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults in exploring who they are and what they want in life, as well as individuals experiencing big life changes.
My clients are open minded, accepting of challenges, and ready to rewrite their stories.

If you are reading this then you have already taken the first step to addressing whatever challenge you are facing or questions you may be asking yourself. Perhaps you are unsatisfied with your life and don't know how to change it. Perhaps you know what the underlying issue is but are afraid to tackle it. Maybe you struggle with co-parenting after a divorce or your teenager is self-harming and you want to help but don’t know how. Maybe you struggle with addiction or self-medicate to avoid dealing with emotional pain. I help clients to examine their core values and also identify any limiting beliefs they may have so that they can better align with their core values.

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.

Hi! I'm Estela,
Do you ever feel stuck or just have too much going on? Are you in a transition, or having trouble coping with life stressors? A high number of people experience these things in different ways; often times, they just need a reminder of who they are to help discover their own potential to move forward in life.
I describe myself as gentle, non-judgmental, and empathic. I Iike to meet my clients where they are.
Together, we will identify your strengths, explore your emotions, thoughts, relationships and experiences and come up with coping strategies you can use to feel more confident moving forward in life.
I know it can be intimidating even making the first appointment, but it is through your first step that success will come.

“Just tell me what I should do!” Are you struggling with a specific issue, relationship conflict(s), or feeling stuck in a rut?

We all have the answers within, sometimes it takes a different perspective to help you recognize what your strengths are. Allow me to be that someone who helps you see yourself more clearly to allow yourself to make healthier decisions.
My approach is driven by you. You will receive tools and techniques unique to you and your stage of change. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and help identify the steps that will get you there. With over 14 years of experience, you will have someone that listens to you non-judgmentally, will offer suggestions (and sometimes homework!) to help you improve and move through tough obstacles. Remember, “The only way to get through it is to go through it!” I would be honored to support your journey.

My name is Hannah Karolewicz, and I am a licensed therapist in Florida!
Do you feel like you are stuck and do not have the tools or the language to describe how you are feeling? Is it hard to advocate for yourself and prioritize your needs?
Or are you looking to understand yourself better, your emotions, and your thought patterns?
I help young adults improve their emotional intelligence and maturity, and well-being. Together we will explore your childhood and how it has impacted you. Whether you are dealing with the above, facing significant life changes or transitions, or managing depression, anxiety, or burnout symptoms, we can overcome them with evidence-based techniques.
I am eager to have the opportunity to work with you, and I commend you for seeking support during a time of need. It takes tremendous strength and self-awareness to take the step to speak and meet with a therapist.
You are not alone. Things can and will get better. I look forward to meeting you.
