Hello and welcome to my page. It is a pleasure to be considered to come alongside you during this part of your life journey. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of social work and 3 years working as a mental health clinician. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults both individually, couples, and families. I pride myself on being compassionate and curious about each individual that crosses my path. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. My goal is to help individuals lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. I make every effort to provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Hello! I'm Michael and if you are reading this, you are likely considering therapy as an avenue to make a change in your life. This is the first step in building the life you deserve. Are you overwhelmed by your emotions? Stuck in your past? Worried about the future? Do you just feel...blah...like you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong? You are in the right place! These are questions I can help you answer. I help men and women improve emotional skills, reduce symptoms, and develop coping skills to deal with life's challenges. Together, we will create a plan that works for you. This is your life and only you know the answer. You just need a little help uncovering it. Change is scary and uncomfortable, but if you can choose to show up anyway, amazing things can happen. I realize coming to therapy can be tough and so I like to make your experience with me as safe and comfortable as possible. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, my name is Craig. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess "something" isn't OK. That "something" may be new or it may have been around for quite some time. You might be able to describe that "something" perfectly or maybe you don't know what that "something" is, but you know you are just feeling "off". Maybe you are familiar with therapy, or maybe this is the first time considering it. The only thing that matters at this moment is that you are taking that first step. I start from where you are at and work with you from there. No assumptions, judgements, or "one size fits all" approaches. Just a desire to understand you, your needs and your goals for therapy. Therapy is a different experience for everyone. I understand that and we will work together in addressing whatever has led you to taking this first step.

My name is Shant Bardakjian and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Glendale, California. I currently work with children, adolescents and adults within the greater Los Angeles area. My approach to therapy is tailored to the client’s needs. I enter into therapy with whatever the client brings into the session. If you need a creative approach to solve your problems, then I would use Narrative Therapy. If you need to fix your problem right away, then I would use Solution Focused Therapy. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. I use an eclectic approach with a person centered lens that can be flexible for whatever need is brought into the room. My communication style is calm and approachable. I would like my clients to feel at ease in sharing whatever is on their heart without fear of judgment. I decided to become a therapist because I have wanted to help people discover their best selves. I have been drawn to helping people discover their innate ability to heal past whatever is keeping them stuck in life. My aim is for whoever works with me to be able to define a goal that can be accomplished and for trust to be gradually built within the therapeutic relationship. In this way, the progress that is seen in therapy will in turn translate to improvements in multiple areas of your life. In our first session together, you can expect the primary focus to be for me to hear your story of what brought you to therapy. The first session is to determine if there is an initial connection and also questions that would enable me to better understand what would work best for you as treatment progresses.

My name is Denise Dugan your Whyscounselor. We often question "why" when life hits us hard. We try to make sense of of what doesn't make sense but don't know how to find the answers. What if I told you the answers to the "whys" may not ever be answered but you can manage how those unanswered questions have affected you. Have you ever thought that if only this person would change or if I could stop feeling so anxious, frustrated, and sad things would be better? Life can be hard and challenges can steal our hope for changes to take place. What if I told you that there is one thing you can change that will affect everything else in your life and that is the way you see yourself? I want to help people dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues and are motivated to do the work it will take. I want to help people find the tools to manage symptoms to cope with everyday life challenges and make the necessary changes in their behaviors and lives that reflect how they want to show up. I can help you develop a healthy relationship with the most neglected relationship you have and that is with yourself. Our work together will be discovering and developing pathways to a healthier relationship with yourself first in order to have healthier relationships with others and to make the necessary changes you need to make. Allow me to help you to manage the "whys" in your life. My educational background includes a M.S. in Counseling Psychology and a B.A. in Psychology from California Baptist University in Riverside, CA. I am trained in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

My name is Fabiola Rodriguez-Cordova and I am a therapist who is passionate about helping others. I enjoy witnessing my clients progress as they discover their strengths and overcome any challenges they may be facing. I am compassionate, attentive, non-judgmental, relaxed, diverse, and knowledgeable. I pride myself in offering a safe environment. I enjoy working with clients individually and love the challenge of working with couples. I utilized different therapeutic approaches and implement them uniquely tailored to their needs-because every case is different.

I have spent the last 20 years helping people find their way when the road gets bumpy. I’ve been a fully licensed Social Worker since 2014 and have worked with people from all walks of life during that time. My specialties are mental health (including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder) substance abuse, and duel diagnosis. I have experience working with men and women from diverse racial backgrounds and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have worked with members of the armed forces and veterans. On a personal note, many years ago a social worker came into my life and helped me find my way. That is why I am a social worker and why I have compassion for whatever it is you are struggling with. You’ve done the hardest part which is to reach out for help.

Have the last few years of overwhelming stress taken a toll on your mental health and relationships? Have your mental health issues or relationship problems become much worse since the pandemic changed life as you knew it back in 2020? Feeling cooped up with a lack of freedoms can bring out the worst in us, and a lot of individuals and relationships are struggling right now with intensified anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and burnout. After Covid brought on years of constant stress, losses, forced changes, and limited outlets for stress relief, people of all ages are feeling the effects on their mental health. After being forced to shut down life as we knew it and having to adjust to doing everything on the internet, including work and school, (and now therapy too!), many people are now experiencing a kind of "post-pandemic fatigue" from all the stress of the past 3+ years. If you're struggling with intensified levels of anxiety, problems with panic attacks, social anxiety, constant worry and overthinking, screen addictions, drug or alcohol addictions, loneliness or depression symptoms, there is help for you! Hi, I'm Maria Otsuka, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer audio/video telehealth therapy sessions exclusively now, after having no choice but online sessions when the pandemic started, and discovering that teletherapy really helps and can make a big difference to reduce anxiety and help you get back on track with your life, conveniently from the comfort of your own space. I started my career as a therapist after BEING a therapy client changed me and my life for the better! That's what makes me so passionate about helping YOU change yourself and your life! I love to help adolescents, couples and adults unpack and work through their personal issues and challenges in a safe and respectful therapy setting. If you're ready to do your personal work and partner with a caring and supportive therapist to improve yourself and your life, then let's get started!

Hello, I'm Lesa Vander Bie, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25+ years experience and committed to providing a supportive and empowering space for us to create positive change in your life. I have extensive experience in addressing such issues as anxiety, depression, life transitions, etc. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy which is exploring and understanding the links of how your childhood experiences are internalized and repeated in adulthood. We identify which parts of those patterns are no longer effective and work together to change them into new, healthier ways of relating and reaching your aspirations. I value creating a collaborative relationship which helps me tailor our sessions to adapt to your specific needs. I was born and raised in the Midwest / Arizona and have a background in the Performing and Visual Arts and have a successful practice in Southern California. I look forward to coming along side you to help you gain clarity, valuable new insight, and equipping you to reach your life goals so you can live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I treat adult individuals (18+) and here is a more extensive list of issues I can assist you with: - anxiety (generalized, panic, OCD) - depression - adults with attachment issues - self esteem and shame resilience and effectively coping with life - getting unstuck, accountability and reaching goals - recovery from grief and loss - singles issues & lifestyle - women’s issues (empty nesting, repurposing your life, career, menopause etc.) - men’s issues (career, work stress, boundaries, peer relations, marital satisfaction, etc.) - life transitions (career, city/country, relationship) - 50+ Aging and finding a refreshed new purpose and mindset - living a relaxed, peaceful life in a complex world - career, stress management, burnout - balancing work and family ** I also provide Personal Therapy to psychology (MFT/SW) graduate students in California.

This is my third decade providing mental health services and interventions. My approach is genuine and authentic, warm and welcoming. I hope to help others appreciate what is sometimes the absurdity and incongruity of life's situations. For me, Grow is secondary employment and I continue practice in a county mental health plan delivering complex interventions for youth and families. I am a clinical supervisor and lead several teams providing intensive community based interventions, outreach, and supports. I offer my time in the evenings.

I’m Sylvia Y. Del Angel (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to struggle with self-doubt, shame, and guilt. My own journey has given me empathy and a passion to help others who are facing similar challenges. As someone who has been on this journey as a woman, a mother, a sister, a friend, a stranger, a person of color, a Veteran, a person with no power, a person with power, a person with disabilities, and a human, I understand the challenges you’re facing. Let’s work together to help you figure out who you are and what you need to feel fulfilled.
