Hi there, as a licensed Clinical Psychologist, I offer a space in which we pay close attention to what is happening within and around you, emotionally, physically, relationally and provide a safe space in order to do so. We work together to connect you to the underlying meaning of your pain, bringing not only relief but an increased capacity to tolerate future struggles. Part of our work will involve exploring your life's patterns and expanding the awareness needed to helpfully move them in your desired direction. You will grow non-judgmental curiosity about yourself and others through this process, which will nurture a more authentic engagement in your relationships. The way I work is typically integrative, which means I draw from several theories in order to meet the immediate as well as underlying patterns of behavior that may not be serving you.

My name is Feji, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates Psychodynamic Theory, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma informed modalities.

I often say that our bodies are wise, they consistently signal when unresolved emotions and inner conflicts are left unaddressed. Just as we tend to our physical health, it’s vital that we nurture our internal world with the same care and intention.

Hello there! I chose to become a therapist because I have found that in my own experience, it has been a valuable tool in coping with life's difficulties and I don't know what I would have done without the support of an actual person that was non-judgmental, supportive, and encouraging.

Hi! I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a doctoral degree in community care and counseling specializing in trauma counseling, as well as a master’s degree in social work. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various care settings—from inpatient to outpatient—and with many different populations, including children and families in crisis, military personnel, and individuals facing dual diagnoses or severe mental health challenges. Trauma has become a central part of my work because it felt like nearly everyone I encountered had a story involving unprocessed trauma. Helping people work through those experiences has become my passion. A little about me: I’m originally from Northern New Jersey, but after serving six years in the Army as a combat medic, I settled in Texas. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out at the lake, traveling Texas with my husband in our camper, playing pickleball and golf (poorly), and spending time with my three kids. During the summer, I'll be poolside any chance I get!

I’m Steven Frank. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), licensed in California and living in Seattle, Washington. The way the law works is that if I have a California license, I can live outside of California, but can only work with California residents. For that reason, all my work is perforyemed online through telehealth. I see primarily adults and seniors in my practice and while I work mostly withindividuals, I will also see couples when needed. I’ve been licensed since 1983 but actually began to “grow” a private practice beginning in 1990. While most of my experience has been with clients dealing with depression and anxiety, over the last 4-5 years I’ve been more focused on the treatment for symptoms of trauma and abuse. I’ve been trained in EMDR (a specific treatment for trauma), and will use that method as needed, when appropriate, and with your understanding of the process, and consent. By the way, my first job experience (before beginning my schooling for the MFT license), was in the California State Hospital system as a psychiatric technician. I was a member of a hospital inpatient treatment team that treated people with severe mental disorders. This was excellent training for working with clients who are seeking help, but on an outpatient basis.

Welcome to my (safe) space!!! I'm a bit of a Fred Roger's enthusiast, so let me start by saying thank you for being you!! My most important value is to treat people with love and respect, no matter their background, no matter their circumstances!! I believe we all deserve it!!! My name is Jose-Santos Xavier Orozco, feel free to call me whatever makes you comfortable!!! Life to me is about being flexible, or like Bruce Lee said, like water, being able to bend and reshape whenever needed, while maintaining strength and purpose!!! I am a 36 year old male therapist who was born in SF and raised in Los Angeles! My early years were spent in the foster care system until I was placed into a permanent family at the age of 6. I am of mixed Ethnic background and have experienced culture/ identity difficulties since as long as I can remember. Life has naturally brought me to get a degree in Social work and work in this field. I would definitely consider myself a wounded warrior, although I feel like my injuries have been pretty well tended to by now. Learning to accept and love yourself has been my greatest achievement (on-going achievement) and I promise that when you get there too, it can be yours as well!!! I prefer working with ADULT population; I have very limited experience working with kids. Thank you

"You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change. I began my working career as an EMT in pre-hospital and Emergency Room settings. The desire to further my education and better serve my community led me to pursue becoming an LMFT. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandman University and a Master’s degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling from Brandman University. I have additional training and experience in Clinical Pastoral Education from the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy at David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base and have worked in both residential treatment and clinical settings. I have four sons and two grandchildren. In my off time I enjoy spending time in nature, photography, and attending baseball games with my husband of 25 years.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Over the past five years, I have worked with individuals navigating crises, life transitions, and personal growth journeys.

Hi, I'm Jasmin! I thrive on joy—whether it's laughing, learning, savoring a great meal, dancing, or exploring the outdoors through hiking. I’m a natural cheerleader (no pom-poms needed!) because I genuinely love watching people succeed and grow. My journey into the field of clinical social work began at a methadone clinic, where I worked alongside individuals navigating addiction challenges. Inspired by their resilience, I pursued my Master's in Social Work at the University of Southern California, further deepening my dedication to this meaningful work. Today, I continue my commitment to supporting individuals facing substance misuse, PTSD, grief, and trauma. I manage a treatment program and mentor emerging clinicians, sharing the knowledge and compassion I’ve cultivated over the years. My personal experience with therapy has taught me that emotions can be tough to process, but through self-compassion and embracing vulnerability, healing becomes attainable. With over a decade of experience in community mental health, I’ve learned that connection is the cornerstone of transformation. I also believe laughter is medicine—it’s both therapeutic and empowering. With a blend of compassion, empathy, humor, and unwavering support, I guide my clients in navigating their emotions and challenges in healthier, more fulfilling ways. Together, we create a path toward resilience and growth.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years experience working in grief and loss. I am a therapist who uses a Narrative Theoretical Framework, which means that you and I can work together to sort through some of these challenges, and I can support you in identifying what you need in this chapter of your life and strategize with you how to achieve your goals. I want to help you feel better. I look forward to getting started to working with you and I hope we can meet soon!
