Welcome to my hybrid practice! I offer in-person appointments on M/W and virtual appts on Thurs. I invite you to learn a little about me. I'm a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in CA who former clients describe as warm and welcoming with strong advocacy skills. I've been told my listening skills are excellent, understanding the deeper part in someone who may be hurting, helping them find their strengths and supports.
My credentials include receiving my MS in Counseling from CSU, Sacramento in 1997, becoming licensed in 2003, becoming a Clinical Supervisor in 2005, and receiving my Level 1 certification in Narrative therapy from the Vancouver School for Narrative Therapy in 2012. (Not bad for someone who was told she wasn't college material back in high school!)
In May of 2005, I opened my private practice and recently found an interesting niche. Vet med mental health! Did you know veterinarians are 3x more likely than the general public to die by suicide? After working in vet med for 6 years as a mental health professional at the #1 vet school, I would be honored to continue to serve all in the veterinary community. From veterinarians to client service represenatives, I love helping veterinary medical professionals overcome compassion fatigue, burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. This allows them to focus on those furry, cuddly patients of theirs, including some that are not so furry and cuddly. I also enjoy working with pet parents whose pets are seen by Behavioral Veterinarians.
Other services available include support groups, wellness coaching & trainings, and Clinical Supervision for Associates who need an outside supervisor. In my personal life, I enjoy time with my dog, friends, and family! I'm a dog lover for sure as I cannot walk past a dog without stopping to say hello!

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!

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou- Sometimes to heal you need someone to listen to you. We can work together to create healthy boundaries, find a better balance, establish more effective coping skills, and develop more meaningful relationships.
As an LMFT, my mission is to be able to help you maximize personal wellness. My approach is empathetic, personalized, and evidence-based. I provide psychotherapy to individuals with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and interpersonal relationship issues. I understand that people are dynamic and multi-faceted so interventions should be as equally diverse. I am dedicated to building on your strengths to encourage personal growth and development, increase positive coping strategies, and promote self-efficacy and resilience.
I have worked in various settings where I have developed my eclectic philosophy in working with clients. I empower clients to achieve their goals in their counseling journey. I aim to help you find happiness, reach your potential, and create a bright future. I look forward to working with you to make the life and relationships you desire.

I am drawn to working with clients who are dealing with adjustment issues: life transitions, changes, and loss, at any stage of life. I also work with clients dealing with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, existentialist questions over life purpose and meaning, LGBTQ and POC experiences around discrimination and trauma, the interest in developing a positive and personal spirituality, and as an adjunct support in fostering abstinence around substance use issues (therapy does not replace 12 step work, but it can be a powerful form of support for individuals in recovery). I have also worked a lot with clients grappling with codependency, setting boundaries, and developing self-esteem. I like to take an eclectic approach that uses solution-focused and CBT therapy for present day situations, psychodynamic theory for past childhood losses and trauma, and art therapy for exercises in between therapy appointments that can be processed in session.
I am a gay man, with a husband and son; I'm 33 years sober and have 20 years of experience working in the visual arts, plus a doctorate in philosophy.

I started out as a kid from Queens, NY who volunteered on the weekends working with individuals with autism while I was in high school. That propelled me into the world of social services. From there, I worked with individuals with severe psychiatric concerns, to families in need throughout NYC, the shelter system, students in higher education, residential group homes for system impacted adolescence and community mental health in the Southern California region. I believe we all have our stories from lived experiences that play a direct role in our daily struggles. This is why I utilize a psychodynamic & mindfulness approach that helps folks to understand what factors of their past feeds the stressors of their present and how to live more freely in the “now”.

Hi, I'm Wendy Mark, LMFT, your Chronic Pain Therapist in Los Angeles, California.
Are you feeling stuck in chronic pain and doctors have told you there isn’t anything more they can do? Have your activities decreased so much that you are no longer doing the things that you used to enjoy? Whether you have been dealing with pain for 6 months or 50 years, we can work together to help you decrease your pain levels and get you back to living a life filled with joy in a reasonably short amount of time. In my own journey through pain, I tried every treatment possible to get rid of the pain and I was desperate to find a treatment that worked. I was lost. Then I discovered Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and it was a total game changer for me!
While my passion is working with clients with chronic pain, I have also had over 15 years of success in working with a wide range of mental health issues including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, relationship issues, school problems, trauma and PTSD, and women's issues. I enjoy empowering clients to reach their full potential.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist providing individual therapy for adults (ages 18 to 64) via Telehealth in sunny California! I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology through California State University, Bakersfield in 2020. I started practicing my therapeutic skills as a student trainee at our University Clinic and focused on treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and relationship issues. During my last year of practicum, I trained in an Intensive Outpatient Program providing group therapy with colleagues through the lens of DBT and Existentialism to treat depression, anxiety, bipolar, psychosis, ptsd, substance use, and life transitions. Since receiving my Masters in 2020, I joined the community mental health team to provide treatment for same conditions I helped treat at the Intensive Outpatient Program. In this setting, I was able to implement a variety of approaches such as Trauma Informed-CBT, SFT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing. For the last two years, my last role in this setting included providing intensive therapy support to individuals and their loved ones who were discharged from a psychiatric hospital due to a mental health crisis for suicide attempt, homicidal ideation, debilitating psychosis, and grave disability.

My name is Larisa Escalante, and I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #140018). My approach to therapy is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective and evidence-based therapeutic modality.
In addition to my expertise in CBT, I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting therapies. These trauma-focused therapies are instrumental in helping individuals process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences, fostering resilience and emotional growth.
II was drawn to this profession by a genuine desire to help others and make a positive impact on people's lives. As a therapist I have a natural inclination towards understanding and empathizing with others. My genuine care about people's well-being and want to provide support during times of struggle. I often find fulfillment in assisting individuals in overcoming challenges, achieving personal growth, and making positive changes in their lives. The study of human behavior, emotions, and psychological processes is intriguing and captivating to me as a therapist. It also helps me to experience my own personal growth and healing through therapy, which inspires me to help others in similar ways.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who have been practicing for over 12 years. My passion is working with adults and guiding them in overcoming trauma and healing wounded child parts. This passion is due to my own healing journey as a child who was touched inappropriately, exposed to domestic violence in a military household where my father abused drugs, and later experienced the death of my then 3-year-old son . Through my own healing journey, I learned how to "manage" my symptoms after receiving CBT therapy and grief counseling but had never healed from my trauma or knew about a wounded child part until receiving my own EMDR counseling.
Before healing, I experienced symptoms consisting of low self-esteem, mood instability, not feeling safe, trust issues, and the need to control everything which negatively impacted my relationships with others. The journey was difficult but successful, thanks to EMDR. Thankfully, your journey doesn't have to be difficult. EMDR and Brainspotting are two highly effective modalities in treating trauma by helping to heal wounded parts through the brain's own healing process. If you're tired of feeling that you're always being judged, feeling stuck and unable to move forward because “something” is holding you back, experiencing trust or relationship issues, not feeling as if you're good enough, or if you're waking up sad, angry, irritable, or depressed and not understanding why, you may have a wounded part that's ready to heal. If so, I would be honored for the opportunity to help the wounded part within you to recognize that they're safe, they can trust, and that they're good enough.

Welcome! My name is Tamer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked for nearly 10 years in different capacities such as refugee resettlement, disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+ centered care. I am most excited about creative self-expression, and I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the powerful role that stories play in shaping our everyday lives. I also find tremendous value in working together to deconstruct how these stories show up in the context of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma.
Seeking therapy is one of the most courageous steps you can take for yourself. Whether you want to heal past wounds, resolve conflict in your relationships, or better manage the stressors of life, therapy is the space where your goals and values are prioritized. It is where you can feel safe to be vulnerable and open. Because there is no singular way to engage in treatment, therapy does not conform to strict constructs, norms, or stereotypes. Rather, therapy is meant to reflect your authentic self and promote the innate power you hold. The right therapist should honor the nuances of your life’s journey, while also helping explore the path forward that you want to lead.
In the words of Brené Brown, “Story stewardship means honoring the sacred nature of story–the ones we share and the ones we hear–and knowing that we’ve been entrusted with something valuable or that we have something that we should treat with respect and care." I look forward to honoring your journey here, and your journey forward. Thank you so much!

I help clients manage anxiety, and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify your work/life balance.

Seeking therapy can be scary but it is the first step in helping your well-being. You deserve a space where you can grow, heal, and become more reflective.
In our sessions together, I'll meet you with comparison and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits that are holding you back. I want to help you improve the quality of your life and provide you with a support system. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome, I am so glad that you are here! Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, low motivation to complete tasks, or find it difficult to make decisions? Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep or do your thoughts keep you awake? Are you at a crossroads in life and want to understand the path ahead of you? Together we will develop strategies of coping in an emotionally safe and positive space and will begin to understand the why- Why I am overwhelmed. Why do I feel the way that I feel? Why do I continue to repeat the same cycles?
I strongly believe in the power of people and understand that change and life transitions can be challenging and very scary. I believe every moment in our day is an opportunity to do things differently. To learn and to grow. I love what I do, and I am honored to be able to step into your life and help.

Hi, I'm Dr. Alysha! Are you ready to Empower your Mental Health?
By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change.
When we internalize or suppress our emotions and experiences of adversity, we may be faced with lasting emotional trauma that impacts our entire well-being. However there is power in validation and relatability and that is why I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based method, with consideration for relational, intersectional, and social justice contexts. I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead, I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself.
My objective is for you to feel empowered by reducing emotional burdens, developing coping strategies, identifying resources, and enhancing your strengths. You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance. I believe that with the right amount of support, guidance, and compassion, our capabilities are endless.

About Me.
Hi, My name is Alissa Young and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy services to Teens, College Students and Young Adults under the age of 35 within the State of California. A little bit about me, I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, California. Clients would describe me as a ‘safe space’, where clients can feel validated and supported when sharing their challenges and seeking mental health support. Clients also describe me as motivating, comfortable, and strengths-based focused. I truly value hosting a therapeutic space where both parties are engaging in a confidential safe space, as their authentic selves - judgment free zone.
My Ideal Client.
If you searched terms such as “Therapist for College Students”, “Black Female Therapists”, “BIPOC Therapist”, and “EMDR Therapist in California”, you’re probably in the right place! My ideal clients are students, parents, and professionals that feel a sense of connectedness when they read more about me. My ideal client is the person I see in the mirror - which is pretty amazing and full of resiliency and strength, ready for open and honest conversations - ready for CHANGE!
College Students and Young Adults.
I enjoy supporting College Students and Young Adults in the therapeutic space. As a current University Therapist in the State of California, I also enjoy working with First Generation College Students, BIPOC students, Black/African American-Identified students, LGBTQIAA+ students, and other often marginalized College Students. Topics of interest include Adjustment to College, Management of Stress, Anxiety, and Anger, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Trauma Processing), Racism, Management of Depression, Self-Esteem Development, Sex and Gender exploration, Personal Identity exploration, and more.
