I started helping those who are seeking to up-level their experiences and shine as their true and authentic selves in 2019. My journey first started in residential treatment facilities where I held space for those in early recovery from substance use disorders. This population ranged from men's only, women's only and LGBTQ+ Many of these individuals also struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. I have also had the opportunity to work with adolescents at risk of sex trafficking. This work is extremely rewarding as the clients are at an age where they are most influential and willing. I am a deeply spiritual person and practice in the study of yoga and meditation and participate in somatic healings such as Kundalini Light Intergration (KALI) and breathworks. I am also a level two Reiki practitioner (training to become a master) and a certified personal trainer. When I am not holding space for healing, I enjoy being in the outdoors, surfing, climbing, reading and cooking nutritious and fun to eat meals. I hope to continue the journey of providing a safe space for individuals where healing can occur for years to come. I offer sessions both early in the morning (5am - 7am) and later in the evening (6pm - 9pm) to accommodate those who work nine to five or those who just prefer early morning or evening therapy sessions.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience helping people navigate the hard stuff — anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the weight of expectations. I’m licensed in Georgia, Indiana, and California, and I work with adults of all ages, including college students, veterans, and women who find themselves feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe in creating a space where you feel seen and heard — but also gently challenged. Together, we’ll look at what’s underneath your stress, identify patterns that are no longer serving you, and explore strategies that move you toward clarity and calm. My approach blends CBT and mindfulness, and I also have training in Brainspotting. This can be especially healing for trauma, anxiety, and grief. As a Black woman and a therapist, I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic stressors can collide. I hold space for that complexity. Whether you’re navigating a loss, a shift in identity, or just feeling emotionally exhausted, I’m here to support your process — not rush it. Let’s work together to make sense of what you’re carrying and find your way forward.

Hello and welcome! I'm Gassia. I graduated with my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2016. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, one of my main goals as a therapist is to empower individuals, parents and teens, and couples to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives by fostering positive connections and enhancing emotional well-being. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work toward personal growth and relationship improvement. By promoting open communication, empathy, and understanding, I aim to help clients develop healthier coping skills, gain insight into their challenges, and build stronger connections with themselves and others. Ultimately, I seek to be a catalyst for positive change and empower my clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence. When I'm not working, I like to spend my time in nature, at the gym, or with my friends and family. I love to travel and explore new places. Over the last few years, I have realized how important grounding myself is for my mental health, so I try my best to incorporate mindfulness practices in my day to day.

I am a licensed marriage & family therapist with 15 years of experience in the field. I started my career working with substance abuse counseling and DUI classes. I have worked with adults of all ages, children as young as three years old and teens as well. I specialize in talk therapy, play therapy, art therapy and working with unresolved trauma. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I have been trained in parent child interaction therapy and can provide these services via telehealth. Most recently I had worked for a foster agency in California as a therapist and then for six years as the Behavioral Health Program Director. This was a wonderful experience providing me the opportunity to work with children in foster care, their biological parents in regaining custody of their children, and the foster parents who cared for the children until they returned home. For the children who were unable to return home I also was able to work with the adoptive families. Although I loved my position in the foster agency I missed working with individuals and families through therapy.

I believe that therapy can heal, but I also know that telling a stranger about your deepest pain can be a strange feeling. Perhaps you've been feeling sad, depressed or worried, and hopeless that anything in your life can change. Or maybe you aren't sure what you would even want help with. You know you feel bad, but if someone were to ask you "How can I help?", you aren't sure what you would say. These problems can feel permanent and unsolvable. After all, something feels broken and unfixable, so how could you not feel that it takes all the energy you have just to get up in the morning and go about your day? Depression or anxiety can also feel isolating, as if nobody else could possibly understand. You may have even received advice from people who you feel mean well but can't understand what you're going through. Depression and anxiety are not permanent or unfixable, and therapy can help. Imagine feeling peace of mind, and excited about life and its possibilities. It starts by learning about you and going at your pace. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 16 years experience working with adults and teens, I've seen therapy work, and I feel lucky that I get to be part of that journey for others.

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.

Hi there, I'm Denise. Do you feel anxious, worried, or depressed and overwhelmed with your life? Are you struggling to feel happy? Do you feel past trauma is affecting your ability to heal? Is it hard to be kind to yourself or to tell yourself that you are doing all that you can? Together, we can build a safe place so that we can find what's not working for you and get you back to a place where your mind, body, and spirit feel at ease. We'll use a mindfulness approach and identify those negative thoughts and come up with a balanced adaptive thought that can help you feel better. I integrate mindfulness and an Eye Movement Desensitization Approach (EMDR), along with Cognitive Behavioral Theory and several other approaches to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. All of this comes from a strength based, trauma informed, culturally informed perspective where we will identify your strengths and your plan to help yourself heal. I'm here to help and understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the thoughts and habits holding you back.

Hello there! My name is Adriana Soriano a bilingual (Spanish-English) LCSW born and raised in Southern California. Contemplating therapy? Let’s take this journey together towards emotional and spiritual wellness, a commitment to positive change. I believe as the client increases self-awareness, they then can begin to see growth and experience self-actualization, the ability to become the best version of one self. This progression forward, can be transformative in mind, body and spirt. It is also my belief that someone’s present reality may be influenced by memories of past experience, including early adversities, in turn affecting a person’s current perceptions of the world and others, as well as expectations for the future and interpersonal interactions.

Renowned psychologist Carl Rogers once stated that the process of a ‘good life’ involves stretching, growing, and becoming more and more of one's potential. He argued that the individual who chooses growth as their compass in life is truly an inwardly free individual (Rogers, 1961). Inspired by Rogers’ humanistic and timeless outlook, I focus my work with clients on expanding their process of growth into an engaging endeavor rather than a strenuous one. I believe that every individual has tremendous inner resources that need support in coming to light. My goal is to make every client feel empowered to create the best life for themselves individually and in their relationships.
