Hello there, I am Jamey.
Do you feel like there are just not enough hours in the day, or that you are being pulled in a million different directions? Do you feel like you are struggling to keep up with your relationships, your work, or your health? Sometimes when this happens, we tend to blame the person in the mirror. Fortunately, I am here to help you get over that hump.
I strive to help you manage anxiety and avoid burnout. My goal is to help work together with you, and identify what is working well, and not so well, and help you find that balance you and so many others are looking for. I consider myself to be very adaptable to my clients, and work to find what works best specifically for you! I would also like to assure you, that you are not the only one feeling this way!
Whether you are overwhelmed, having relationship issues, dealing with trauma, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. If you are having trouble with your children, and are seeking input and new techniques, I would be glad to assist you. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but this is the first step towards making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will meet you with empathy and compassion in a judgment-free zone, working with evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. Let us work together!

Naturally, you are meant to grow into your ideal self: self-assured and content. Sometimes, that growth gets blocked. Maybe it’s a past trauma or fear of failure and the unknown. Let’s explore this so we can identify the block and remove it so you can become your best self, the version of you that you were always meant to be.

I ONLY SEE ADULT CLIENTS and I DON'T SEE COUPLES.
I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was 18; I knew that I was a very self-aware, emotionally sensitive, and insightful individual. I have a genuine desire to get to know each client as a human being. I find it very easy to listen to others and am interested in solving personal problems. I like to observe and analyze people. In high school, my friends always confided in me about their problems because they saw that I was trustworthy. Before becoming a therapist, I was a medic in the US Army.
Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or porn and sex addiction, I’m honored to support you.
I specialize in helping adults get to know themselves and feel empowered to advocate for their well-being. As we work together, you will reflect, expand your awareness, and gain tools to manage adversity and grow.

Hey! My name is Alyssa Thompson Tolosa, you can call me Alyssa.
Is it just me, or does this online search for a therapist thing kinda feel a bit like online dating?
You scroll through profiles, a picture catches your eye, and then you read all the best parts of them and wonder, "Will we be a match?"
It's a highly vulnerable and uncertain experience. There are so many possible matches and way too many people to choose from.
It's overwhelming, but I might just be the right therapist for you.
I'm a licensed therapist in California with 10 years of experience. I am also a certified yoga and barre instructor and have been teaching for 8 years. I believe in your ability to manifest greatness, that you are worthy of all good things no matter what mistakes you've made in the past, and that you have a natural ability to heal any emotional wound. I believe that I am here to be your guide.
I help people fully enjoy life by giving them the tools to confidently navigate life's low points and be more present during life's high points.
I help people...
- get out of their heads and into the present moment so they can experience joy and connection, instead of constantly worrying and being self-critical
- learn how to say "NO" and stop allowing people to take advantage of them
- identify and communicate their needs instead of keeping them bottled up and resenting people for not reading their mind
- break the cycle of generational trauma so they can pass down ways of thinking, being, feeling, and behaving that lead to greater prosperity, joy, and fulfillment
- learn practices that will give them greater control over their emotions so they feel less bothered.

I have experience helping clients navigate a wide range of mental health and life challenges. I offer a pragmatic and flexible approach to therapy that focuses on finding skills and solutions that work for you and your family.
I have an M.S. in Counseling from San Diego State University, with additional training and experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other evidence-supported approaches to health, recovery, and growth.
I am a contributing author to the book Neurobiology and Collaborative Therapy (Routledge, 2016). I have a decade of experience working in hospital, residential treatment, and outpatient settings with adults and adolescents. Aside from seeing clients in private practice, I also work several days a week in a hospital setting providing treatment to adolescents and their families.
I work hard to create a non-judgmental and comfortable atmosphere for my clients to share their challenges, and look for ways to support them while also pushing them to move outside their comfort zone to overcome problematic and self-defeating habits.
If you are looking for a therapist who both supports you and challenges you to grow, get in touch with me today to learn more.

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.

Through connection, empathy and a non-judgmental approach, I offer ways to help you discover what may be blocking you from finding your true path in life. By not seeing an individual for what symptoms they have or what is affecting them, I am more interested in helping you find what is the cause of symptoms and how to process them.
I work with adults, adolescents and couples from all backgrounds. I am also open to any culture, belief, identification or orientation. All are welcome. I base all individual therapy on a client-focused approach and adapt sessions to the needs of each person.

I offer services via telehealth for individuals.
Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together, we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they may be telling you, how you learned from these problems, ways they can be negotiated, and times when they are not present. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. As we explore the problems, you will find fresh perspectives and build alternative ways of responding that enable you to build better relationships and handle problems with increased flexibility.
I am an interactive therapist working with you to develop and experience more confidence, focus, and motivation to meet life’s changing demands. I help people who are doing ok on the outside figure out, and understand, why they might feel so overwhelmed on the inside. You can gain insight and clarity and increase your ability to navigate life transitions, anxiety, fear, depression, and/or traumatic experiences that have impacted your quality of life.
