Therapists in California

Hello and welcome! I have been a licensed psychologist in California since 2016. My goal is to help individuals enhance their sense of well being and experience a greater sense of meaning in their lives. This can be done by acquiring coping skills to identify, and refute unhelpful habits of thinking, increase self-compassion and self-care. My approach to counseling is strengths based and empowerment focused. I use a collaborative and egalitarian style with people who I works with in counseling. When meeting with me for the first time, clients can expect an opportunity to explore presenting concerns and potential goals for treatment. I received my Bachelors degree Psychology from the George Washington University, my first Masters degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University and my second Masters degree and Doctorate in Clinical-Community Psychology from the University of La Verne. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me in the garden!

I'm an LCSW with a strong focus on supporting high functioning individuals experiencing burnout, anxiety, and a lack of professional/personal balance. I approach therapy collaboratively and from a relational perspective. Simply put, I meet people where they are and from there, we work together to discover solutions that work by utilizing evidence-based tools from a variety of approaches (CBT, ACT, EMDR, polyvagal theory). My personal style is compassionate, grounded in authentic connection, and infused with warmth and humor.

I’m Dr. John Biroc. I’ve been a professional baseball player, professional actor on stage and screen, professor of both theater and psychology at major universities in Southern California. I’ve been involved with working with rock bands, as well as being Clinical Director and Therapist Supervisor in mental health and addiction centers throughout Southern California. I lean quite heavily on the creative process and it’s reliance on others.

I’m a warm and very real therapist who helps people understand their emotions, reduce worry and stress, and create relationships that feel healthier and aligned with what matters most to you. I show up with genuine care and curiosity and I’m not afraid to use a little humor and connection to help things feel less heavy while we navigate the hard moments together.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker of over twenty years and have worked with a variety of patients across multiple specialties. I also have a master's degree in Public Health. I've worked in medical social work, with patients in oncology, physical rehabilitation and dialysis. In this way, I have a robust understanding of both the physical and mental aspects of my clients.

I’m a therapist who often starts with a simple question: “Where are you in time and space?” I ask because I want to meet you exactly where you are, moment to moment, with curiosity, compassion, and real interest in your story. Together, we pay attention to how you connect (or pull away) from yourself and others, including what shows up between us in the room, so those patterns can shift. I draw from different tools and perspectives to fit who you are, and I value collaboration, honesty, playfulness, and helping you leave sessions feeling a little more grounded, motivated, and whole.

Infertility is not just a medical experience — it is an emotional one. If you are navigating IVF, IUI, pregnancy loss, delayed motherhood, or difficult family-building decisions, you may be carrying grief that feels invisible to others. The uncertainty, repeated hope and disappointment, financial stress, relationship strain, and identity shifts can feel overwhelming — especially while managing work and daily responsibilities. You do not have to hold this alone. I specialize in supporting women and couples navigating: • IVF and IUI treatment stress • Infertility-related anxiety and depression • Recurrent pregnancy loss • Reproductive trauma • Decision fatigue around continuing or stopping treatment • Third-party reproduction (egg donation, surrogacy) • Oncology-related fertility loss • Grief related to the family you imagined With over 20 years of clinical experience, including oncology social work, I bring a trauma-informed and grief-informed lens to fertility work.

In Our Work Together You Can Expect: • A space where your grief is acknowledged and validated • Support managing treatment-related anxiety and emotional swings • Tools to regulate your nervous system during high-stress cycles • Help strengthening communication with your partner • Clarity around values-based decision making • Support rebuilding identity beyond fertility struggles Infertility can shake your sense of control, your confidence in your body, and your vision for the future. Therapy offers space to process what has happened, tolerate uncertainty, and move forward with steadiness — whether that means continuing treatment, exploring other paths, or grieving what is ending. I provide telehealth therapy throughout California and offer a collaborative, grounded, and emotionally attuned approach.
