If you find yourself grappling with overwhelming emotions or thoughts, destructive patterns, or a sense of disconnect, you have come to the right place. As a specialized DBT therapist, I am passionate about guiding individuals toward inner strength and emotional resilience. Life's journey can be filled with ups and downs, and sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, struggling to cope with intense emotions and difficult circumstances. That's where DBT comes in. DBT is a highly effective and evidence-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. By blending acceptance and change strategies, DBT empowers individuals to break free from the grip of emotional turmoil and build a life worth living. ***I am currently accepting new, virtual clients on Tuesday mornings (9am or 10am)***

Your decision to evolve your place in the world is one of courage, vulnerability, and commitment. I sit with you in presence and curiosity so that each session is a safe space that allows you to hear and trust your inner healer and its deep wisdom. From this sacred space your healing journey begins. We work together on action steps that you take to make real changes in your life. I address: trauma/C-PTSD; intergenerational violence & trauma; grief; religious trauma; survivors of childhood neglect/emotionally immature parents; low self-esteem/self-love/self-trust; toxic masculinity/femininity; life transitions; thriving in recovery; psycho-spiritual awakening; and ketamine integration. I specialize in talk therapy integration for persons enrolled in an outside ketamine treatment program.

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.

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.

Do you want the best quality therapy from the comfort of your home? My name is Jordan Allan and I am a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years of extensive experience providing mental health services to individuals from all walks of life. Throughout my career, I have successfully been providing effective psychotherapy to clients who would not otherwise have access to services if they were required to go to an office and am here to provide you services at your convenience. Originally, I was born and lived most of my life in London, England where I was fortunate to receive the highest education at the best schools. Later I moved to California where I enrolled in Graduate School at The University of Southern California. I obtained my Masters's and PhD degrees both Summa Cum Laude and with full honors with academic and research-based emphasis on psychiatric practice, integrated care approaches and providing clinical psychotherapy mindful of each client's culture and self-identity. I dedicated myself to providing mental health services to the most at-risk on the streets of Skid Row, out of the JWCH Institute. I worked as part of a highly expert team of professionals to improve and advocate for the lives of all adults in need through psychotherapy primarily. After several years, I chose to gain experience working with children and their families did so by joining Wellnest (FKA LACGC). Working again in-field, I provided mental health services to children and teens while also coordinating with parents and other family members. I have experience and continue to work to provide various assessments, treatment plans, psychotherapy and more via Tele-therapy to meet with adults in a variety of settings remotely. I truly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and I make it a priority to do so in every client encounter and session, I always have. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique, specific needs to address how your current symptoms affect your health, relationships, job or any other major part of your life. It takes courage to seek out help to address your mental health and to take the first steps towards a more fulfilling life where your symptoms no longer affect your quality of life. I will be here for you every step of the way. I am looking forward to providing you or your loved ones with the help they need.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to invest in your mental health. Are you having a hard time balancing family, work, and life? Are you struggling with avoidance and anxiety about the future? Are you just ready for a change and aren't sure how to make a plan of action? It's difficult to grow without support and even harder at times to find the tools to carve your own path. If you feel ready to explore how to reach your unique potential; let's figure out some goals, what's in the way, and how we can work through those challenges so you can reach your goals. My background in research, crisis care, inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, in-home therapy, group therapy and outpatient therapy has given me exposure to several forms of therapy. I am currently practicing CBT, DBT, ACT and some elements of other forms of therapy. If you are curious how we could approach your challenges and goals, please reach out and we can discuss options. Consultations are welcomed.

Not only do I help people address their problems, but I also aim to help people be self-actualizing.

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.

It also helps me to experience my own personal growth and healing through therapy, which inspires me to help others in similar ways.

Honesty, integrity, insight, awareness, knowledge, relief and resolutions are what you'll get with me. I believe the theraputic process is organic and our sessions will unfold overtime, focusing on getting you to a place where you can think clearly, understand yourself better and feel solid. I am an out of the box thinker and doer with full acceptance for all lifes wonders. Differences are appealing and I welcome them with open arms, encouraging you to be your absolute self %100 of the time. If you need a jump start, help figuring out what makes you tick, what makes you happy, what your authentic self needs to thrive, I'd love to work with you. Life throws curve balls that can be annoying, frustrating, shocking at times. I get it because I've been there. It's ok and healthy to ask for help. My specialties include insight oriented talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused and strategic therapy. My history is working with adults who have depression and anxiety, relationship distress, anger management issues, trauma histories, existential crisis and have co-occurring disorders which require medication treatment. I work with couples who seek help communicating and bringing the love back into their relationship. I provide psycho-education and real life solutions to problems that seem unsolvable at face value, but with that one tweak, you find out they were solvable all along. I fully believe in the connection between body and mind and weave differing modalities into therapy in order to address each component of healing and wellness. Often we don't realize that just one simple tweak can launch you into the lifetime you want. Are you struggling with personal challenges affecting your relationships, work, social life and, most importantly, yourself. Do you miss that hope, that loving feeling for your partner or your kids? Complex, yet common, issues around love, family, purpose in life, and doing what truly makes you happy, have become overwhelming and you’re ready to do something different. Are you feeling underwhelmed? You may have recently undergone a loss, job change, life change, a psychiatric or medical emergency, and are feeling completely stuck. I believe your truth is in you, and my role of therapist is to provide emotional support, insight, and to help you navigate through past and present so you can have the future you deserve.

When we’ve lost a part of ourselves, a life we had created or envisioned, our world can feel as if it’s falling apart, even ending. And in a way, it is. But maybe this is also part of our journey, the road that takes us to the heart of it. When provided with a safe environment where respect, compassion and unconditional positive regard are offered, we have a chance to set out on our path. The invitation, as always, is to start.

Hi, I'm Kylie and I have been a therapist for 8 years, and am EMDR Certified. I support people who experience anxiety, symptoms from trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I have a two step approach. First I teach people how to regulate themselves in-the-moment. That way they can get back to emotional safety when things are not feeling right. Then I help people find ways to stop what is bothering them before it even starts. That can look like setting a routine that helps reduce anxiety, processing past trauma, surrounding yourself with people that make you feel great, or figuring out what gives your life meaning and helping you do that.

I am a dedicated and highly motivated client-focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. Therapy does not have to be dry, boring, or scary and it's okay to have fun in therapy. We all share in the HUMAN EXPERIENCE! So I may not have the same experiences as you, however, I know what feels like to make mistakes, experience hurt, love, loss, pain, and fear. I also know what it’s like to rebuild myself and have success again. Everyone experiences a range of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and situations that shape and mold us. Therefore, working with people, in their time of need motivates me to assist them in finding balance in their lives.

Hi there, I’m Manny. Are you currently searching for a sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you find yourself in an existential/spiritual emergency? Are you exploring your personal identity, expression, or sexuality? I help people of all ages increase self-awareness and decrease symptomology by bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Trauma combined with an emotional core (experiences of intense fear/guilt/shame) commonly splinters parts of our personality and represses such into the shadow/unconscious realms of our psyche. In response, many of us have adapted and survived by putting on masks in hopes of fitting in and being accepted by the people around us. Mental health concerns eventually arise because deep in our mind/body/soul we yearn for authenticity/individuation. Clients may also experience suicide ideation and/or self-harm because there are parts of themselves that no longer serve them. Together we can explore which aspects of ourselves to let go, in order to make space for something new to enter. I am a Doctoral Candidate from Pacifica Graduate Institute, my studies focused on Depth Psychology with a specialization in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices. As a Holistic practitioner, I believe that each individual already possesses what is needed for their healing and it is my duty, as a guiding witness, to help the client navigate, process, and integrate such.

Thank you for taking the first step and being here. Are you experiencing hurdles in life such as work stress, family issues, or relationship difficulties/issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma or grief? Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Most likely, you've answered yes to at least one of these areas of concern. You are not alone; in the emotions, experiences, and pain that comes with life. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my role is to facilitate finding those answers. My style is relational and collaborative, respecting your pace and autonomy in therapy. Given that we are all multi-dimensional beings, I am committed to understanding the ways your unique identity and roles shape your experiences. As you gain comfort sharing yourself, vulnerably. I have 20 years of experience and specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, phase of life issues, end of life, grief and loss, advanced chronic illness, palliative care, peer relationships, coping skills, stress identification and reduction, and women's issues. I look forward to working together to reach your goals!
