I’m Maria J Gonzales, Bilingual therapist (English and Spanish). Reflecting on your life takes courage and bravery. Seeking help can be scary and confusing, but it's an important step towards improvement. I create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life stressors and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. When you are ready to share, I am available.

Hi! I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist working with adults and adolescents presenting with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction, relationship and anger issues. I am passionate about supporting you to access your strengths and discover your full potential or as I describe it, as your "Best Self." I hold a Master of Arts in Spiritual and Counseling Psychology and my clinical training included community mental health settings, psychiatric/addiction residential treatment and school based settings as well as ongoing my private practice. ​ I believe we all have the inner resources and innate ability to access our strengths, intuition and knowledge in order to create the changes and growth we want in our lives in spite of life’s present challenges or past trauma. ​ I am committed to supporting my clients in releasing the self defeating thoughts, beliefs, emotions and addictive behaviors that keep you from experiencing emotional and spiritual wellness. My approach combines practical strategies with mindfulness and acceptance based interventions.

"I'm so overwhelmed- I don't even know where to begin." "I don't know who to turn to, but I know I can't keep going like this." "The stress in my life is exhausting, and I just need some peace." If any of this feels familiar, you're not alone- and you don't have to figure it out alone either. Welcome, and congratulations on taking this courageous step toward your growth and healing. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and life coach in California with over 20 years of experience helping people move through life's hardest moments with greater clarity, strength, and self-trust. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade as an international AMI-trained Montessori teacher, completing my training in Bergamo, Italy. Originally from Austria, I've called California home for the past 30 years. My approach is rooted in attachment theory and shaped by an existential-humanistic lens. I'll meet you with practical support for what's happening now, while also helping you explore the deeper patterns that may be holding you back. I also draw from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), grounding techniques, and mindfulness based practices to help you stay centered and resilient. Nature plays a key role in my work. I integrate elements of ecopsychology, sound healing, guided imagery, and animal assisted work to support nervous system regulation and emotional balance. While listed here as virtual only, I offer a hybrid model: a mix of virtual and in-person sessions in both Santa Rosa and Santa Barbara, CA. If therapy doesn't feel like the right fit, I invite you to explore my coaching website www.consideryourselfcredentialed.com for nature-based life coaching services. I offer support for personal growth, clarity, and meaningful change outside of a clinical setting. You're welcome to schedule a free discovery call to learn more.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, proudly based in Oakland, California. I have supported folks over the last decade and was called to social work while employed at an art studio for adults with various health needs. In 2017, I received my Master's in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. I have been practicing as a social worker for 9 years. I support folks 18+ in navigating trauma and self worth. As a Lebanese-American therapist, I aim to work with folks who are seeking the opportunity to re-examine their cultural storyline and get creative in unpacking their identity. Together, let’s challenge societal expectations and strive to center your authentic self. A little about me, personally: I identify as an artist and child of the earth, as diaspora has scattered my ancestors across the Arab world, Africa, Europe, and North America. I am fascinated by intersectionality and the powerful ways that resilience shapes our multi-hyphenate individuality. It is important that I take care of myself so that I can be a pillar of support to my clients. The way that I release painful feelings is by channeling them into creative projects. I also work hard to stay connected to my body and my surroundings. Whether it’s through writing, building clay sculptures, beading, or making collages, self-expression is a healing practice. I encourage everyone to play a little bit!

My mission is to empower clients to build meaningful lives and strengthen their relationships. Are you feeling stuck under the weight of addiction, anxiety, or depression? Are past traumas keeping you from living the life you want? You do not need to go through each day merely trying to survive —you can thrive in life! Therapy is a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing can flourish, and you can learn to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and self-awareness. Healing is possible, with just a little persistence, and hope. I am here to support you every step of the way!

Choosing a therapist can be challenging and confusing and one might ask, what does therapy involve? From my experience Therapy involves developing a very special relationship between a professionally licensed practitioner called a therapist and one or more people seeking to collaboratively define and achieve constructive change. This relationship is referred to as the therapeutic bond and is considered one of the most important parts of successful therapy. As such our first step in therapy is, from day one, to form that bond by establishing a trusting, non-shaming environment where any child, adolescent, person, couple, or family will feel safe and sense the therapist is on their side, listens and understands. Therapy on my behalf will involve empathy, genuineness, and mindful acceptance while we collaboratively establish therapeutic changes / goals you feel are both desired and are ready to achieve. Our sessions will involve the language of change as perceived by you the client(s), and constructive finding of solutions. You will be able to present your story without fear of rejection or shame. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and am very effective with middle schoolers, adolescents young adults, and people working in the stressful world of business, hi tech and active military service members, and veterans. During my time as a therapist I have built a reputation as caring, effective and someone who has my client’s best interests at heart. If you feel a connection or that contacting me could be of value, I would be very happy to hear from you. Until such time I wish you the very best in your quest. Sincerely, Mike Michael Durrigan Ca.

Hello and welcome. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your courage to take the first step in selecting a therapist. The thought of sharing intimate thoughts, struggle, and personal experiences can be overwhelming and frightening. I hope to help you feel comfortable that you have come to the right place to express your needs and work on feeling better. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have over 11 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For almost seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background. I started seeing clients out of my area when the pandemic started and found I could help more clients using the telehealth platforms. This inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.

Hello, I'm Mary. Something I find myself saying often is: "it's hard to be human." Life brings so many ups and downs, and our own histories, genetics, circumstances, life events, etc. can impact how we find ourselves functioning from day to day. I am passionate about helping clients discover the tools and frameworks that work for them to meet their own identified goals for their life and decreasing the emotional intensity of symptoms causing barriers to meeting those goals. In 2010, I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master’s of Social Work and earned my license to practice independently in 2013. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Family & Child Sciences at Florida State University in 2005 and my Doctor of Philosophy in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University in 2017. (A bit of a random PhD, I know...my dissertation research was about the relationship between social identity and emotional well-being for service members and veterans in the context of community reintegration.)

I am not comfortable with conducting full psychotherapy sessions in Mandarin or Cantonese but am happy to substitute Mandarin or Cantonese words or phrases throughout the session. I was a first-generation college student and a student organizer as an undergraduate and graduate student. I hold a Masters in Asian American studies (ethnic studies) and a Masters in Social Work. I have been practicing as a therapist in community mental health settings as well as acute inpatient psychiatry. I only work with folks 18+. I have extensively worked with formerly incarcerated folks and folks who identified as unhoused, refugee, immigrant, and victims of sexual assault. I became a therapist to work with BIPOC communities, especially women and femmes of color. After I saw the lack of access to culturally relevant therapy for BIPOC communities I knew that I wanted to become a therapist. I pride myself on being a trauma-informed, culturally relevant, Socratic therapist. I utilize various therapeutic modalities depending on my client's needs and goals. I offer a non-judgemental space for individuals who are experiencing relational issues, anxiety, depression, trouble with school/work, difficulties adjusting to different life stages, and individuals experiencing psychosis. I also offer sliding scale rates for folks who are not using insurance.

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 have been working with young people since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures in school, at home, with your peers and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. PARENTS: Are you in a place where you are ready to dive deeper into your own unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you parent? Do you ever think that you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things with your children that your parents did with you, but find it hard to stop? I am here for you too.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, and I work with adults who’ve spent a long time trying to be who others needed them to be—often at the expense of their own sense of self. Many of my clients are navigating the impact of relationships or belief systems that left them feeling small, unsure, or disconnected yourself. I offer a warm, grounded space to sort through what’s been inherited, what’s been internalized, and what no longer fits—so you can start listening to yourself with more trust and clarity.

Greetings, Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference. I work with anyone struggling to find joy, peace, and fulfillment. I offer a safe, inviting space for you to share thoughts and feelings, to vent, to feel heard, and to reorient to meaning. Please allow me to assist you finding relief and clarity. I will meet you where you are at and welcome you. I address healing on multiple levels of the body-mind connection with a focus on the notion that caring about something or someone along with experiencing meaning can counterbalance the effects of hurt, a disturbing past, or a present stressful situation or transition. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate major change and transition, gain closure, and create new beginnings. I apply interventions from a mind-body-being perspective and assess current life stressors to distinguish between situational mood and thought disturbances from those enduring and a consequence of previous hurt or trauma.
