Therapists in California

Hello, my name is Melisa Santacruz. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the states of California and Florida, and have been practicing for 7 years. My work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, professional stress, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. I specialize and am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Person-centered (Rogerian) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am proficient in Spanish and English.

My Approach is non judge mental and client centered. I am passionate about helping others grow through mental health and realize that life can be challenging and creating change can be difficult. I have been providing individuals with mental health treatment for 10 years and find my clinical strength is with individuals who struggle with thinking patterns, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting, and marriage discourse. I focus a lot on thinking patterns, emotions, behaviors and their connections as well as building insight and awareness into thoughts and behaviors that create barriers in life or sustain challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, EFT, SF, and Narrative therapy for the most part and also focus on the nervous system/polyvagal to assist with calming the body and rewiring what it has learned through distress. My objective is to create an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and to allow clients to feel safe while processing their thoughts and feelings while gently providing psycho education and techniques to assist.

I'm a clinician + artist who specializes in: EMDR, clinical hypnosis, sound healing & communication. I hold space for individuals to feel safe, feel relief, and build awareness. I'm an educator and teacher who is motivated to meet you where you are at and provide knowledge and processing that will assist you on getting unstuck, & finding out where you want to go.

I am a trauma‑informed therapist who deeply respects our ability to adapt, survive, and heal. I welcome all who are seeking not just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of safety, wholeness, and self-trust. I am certified in Janina Fisher’s Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model. This approach is especially supportive for people who feel stuck in cycles of reactivity, shame, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm. Rather than pathologizing symptoms, we work together to understand them as adaptive survival strategies and gently build capacity for regulation, self-compassion, and choice. My work is grounded, collaborative, and paced with care. I integrate parts‑based, body‑aware, and mindfulness‑oriented practices to help clients reconnect with themselves in ways that feel safe and empowering. Together, we focus on understanding your inner experience with curiosity and compassion, and on developing new ways of responding that feel more supportive and aligned. Outside the therapy room, I am a surfer, yoga practitioner, hiker, and nature painter. Time in the ocean and the natural world continually informs my clinical work, reminding me of the importance of rhythm, attunement, and patience in the healing process. These values often show up in how I work with clients: steady, respectful of limits, and trusting your process. If you’re living with anxiety, stress, emotional heaviness, or coping strategies that once helped but now feel limiting, you’re in the right place. You don’t need to have a name for what you’re experiencing. I would be honored to support you as you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Change is stressful and adolescence is a period of enormous change - especially so since the pandemic, social media, gender politics, and looming concerns about the future. Many, many teens today feel overwhelmed by pressure. Struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, relationship problems, drugs, alcohol and academic problems is common. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that by 2021 49.5% of adolescents in the U.S. had a mental disorder, with females, LGBTQIA, and multiracial individuals at the highest risk. If you are a teen or the parent of a teen in pain and looking for a way forward, I can help. I began work as a counseling psychotherapist in 1994. Since then I've helped many adolescents, adults, couples, and parents ease their suffering and overcome problems such as these. My effectiveness as a helper comes from 1) listening carefully to understand your concerns and experience 2) non-judgementally accepting you as you are 3) knowing that you are the expert on you and planning treatment collaboratively with you to achieve your goals. 4) Providing the tools of skills training and coaching to empower you to heal and thrive For me, it's all about knowing that my clients don't need to be fixed. They need to be understood, accepted, provided with effective tools for solving their problems and trusted to overcome their difficulties in a way that works for them so they can feel better, function better and begin living life as they choose to. My approach is straightforward and built on compassion and evidence-based techniques.

When life's challenges - work, relationships, money troubles, illness or injury become too much to manage, or when the pain of the past pops up when you least expect it to disrupt sleep, or when daily stressors build up and make it hard to cope, that's when more than a friendly ear is needed. That's when a professional can help you heal the compounding effects of life experiences. If you are seeking long-term relief from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief or loss, I will help you heal those emotional injuries that compound over a lifetime and make life lose its meaning. And I will empower you to heal the emotional pain that is preventing you from living your best life.

I am a mother, an interdisciplinary artist, and a Depth Psychology-Intergrative Therapy and Healing Practices Ph.D. candidate. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field working with people experiencing mild to severe symptoms. As an intern, I provided psychotherapy to people diagnosed with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder and other psychotic disorders residing in a board-and-care facility. I facilitated psychotherapeutic process and topic groups, psychoeducation groups, mindfulness-based techniques for residents, and support groups for families. As an associate, I provided individual psychotherapy and family therapy to adolescents and adults participating in a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and intensive outpatient program (IOP). I facilitated psychoeducation group therapy for adolescents and adults in PHP and IOP programs utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Art Therapy, and Mindfulness. I currently provide individual psychotherapy to adults. I offer a holistic and trauma-informed perspective that focuses on strengthening the mind-body connection to promote wellness. I integrate decolonial work by bringing awareness to systemic and intergenerational traumas that affect people in the BIPOC community. As part of decolonizing therapy, I integrate ancestral healing practices and encourage my clients to explore their own ancestral lineage.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Licensed in California with 18+ years of professional clinical experience.

I help adults who are struggling, become the best version of themselves at their own pace.

I was born in the US, but I was raised in Mexico. I lived in Tijuana for 10 years when my parents decided to move us across the border to Chula Vista, California. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I experienced a duality of cultures. I was often judged for either being “not Mexican enough” OR “not American enough.” I also faced enormous pressure to be successful – to justify my parents’ having left their beloved country so my sibling and I could have a better life. This is one of many reasons I decided to follow this path: to help those who feel alone in their journey. That’s how I felt when acculturating to this country. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at San Diego State University (SDSU). I was going to go directly into the workforce and eventually go back for my master’s, but an awesome professor challenged me to apply right away so I wouldn’t lose momentum. So, that’s what I did. I ended up getting my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Southern California. It took some time and courage to finish all my licensing requirements, but it was worth it! I’ve been licensed as a clinical social worker in California since 2019. I am certified in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT.

Good to meet you! Please, call me Annita. To begin with--therapy means something is "right" with you, as you listened to your heart asking to be heard by someone in a safe, non-judgmental place of acceptance. Now let me ask: anxiety or depression, histories or memories of childhood or adult traumatic events, grief and loss of a beloved family member, friend, or pet to whom you were closely connected, navigating chronic illness--have any of these challenges disrupted your life so it feels intolerable? Let me hear your heart--not with a stethoscope, but with listening to you. My 30+ years of previous career in nursing taught me that 'listening' to words from the heart is one of the most important aspects of a relationship--not just hearing the words but feeling the emotional impact as well. Having worked in adult and pediatric populations, I understand that all ages and populations deserve respect, kindness and compassion. I have worked as a mental health clinician with adolescents, teens, transitional age youth, young and older adults. From a nursing perspective, I am very aware of medical issues that often affect our mental health and may need assessment by a physician to provide the best treatment, while I offer the skills that increase abilities to cope with those needs. I provide experiences in your session to help you realize your worth, build coping skills, regain confidence as well as compassion for all you have experienced in life, continue to grow through challenges, and progress toward the goal you desire. ** FLEXIBLE HOURS for you as needed for work schedules

Hello!! My name is Chloe Meshel-Wood, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about creating a safe, open, and supportive space for my clients. I have learned that getting to know you and understanding your values is an important part of the healing process. My goal is to support you in navigating challenges, building on your strengths, and ultimately feeling more confident taking charge of your own life. I believe that every person is unique, and I strive to recognize and highlight the strengths in each client I work with. If you feel like we might be a good fit, please connect so I can learn more about you. Starting therapy can often feel like a challenging step, and I would be honored to support you through that process.

Sometimes, as adults, we discover that our ability to make decisions; to love someone; to accept the love of another; to feel peace and inner calm; to find the motivation to accomplish goals; to forgive a betrayal; and to experience self-acceptance and confidence can feel limited, creating distress and discomfort. Thus begins the journey of an examined life. When you explore how you operate, what influences your choices, and what has contributed to your experiences, you begin the process of enriching your internal resources. This expansion of resources broadens your choices and options in life and holds the potential for higher functioning and greater happiness. As a therapist, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment. I am easy to talk to, interactive, respectfully direct, and mindful of diverse cultures, backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and utilize each individual’s strengths and resources, supporting the discovery of an authentic self that experiences life in a richer and more satisfying way.

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!

Welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I specialize in working with adults (ages 18-64) who are experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social or family challenges, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. I also often work with people of color who want a safe space to discuss issues around race, culture, or other aspects of their identity/background. I received my BA from the University of Michigan and my MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University in DC, prior to completing full-time clinical training and residency in San Francisco.

I’m Dr. Claudia Nuñez a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is not about reliving pain for its own sake. It is about understanding what your suffering has been signaling, and bringing that understanding into the present so you can live with more clarity, self compassion, and choice. Many of the people I work with feel caught in anxiety and overthinking, people pleasing, guilt, burnout, or a deep sense that something needs to change but they cannot quite name what. Others are moving through grief or life transitions that have shaken their identity, relationships, or sense of direction. Some are navigating a spiritual calling or values shift, and feeling both pulled toward meaning and exhausted by the weight of it all. My approach is integrative and evidence based, with Internal Family Systems as a foundational framework. We work with symptoms and patterns as strategies that once helped you get through something difficult. Together we identify what those strategies have been protecting, understanding your unique history, what you truly need now, and how to respond in ways that feel more aligned and sustainable. Alongside talk therapy, I incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and narrative reflection so insight becomes change you can feel in real life. When helpful, we use grounding and breath practices to support nervous system regulation, not to bypass pain, but to build steadiness and stay present with what is true. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma informed, and culturally responsive. We move at a pace that respects your boundaries while supporting meaningful growth.

I encourage client to participate in homework assignments to build skills to stabilize a clients emotional and behavioral functioning. Further, specialties include addiction issues, grief work and couples therapy. My most common therapy techniques that I use first is client centered therapy approach. I start where the client is most comfortable and work on building a safe environment for the client. My first goal is to build a therapeutic relationship with my client. Then my goal is to work with strength based, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, solutions focused, interpersonal therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness therapy techniques. I use an eclectic approach as each client is different and has different needs. My goal is to help the client's to identify the fact that sometimes therapy is identifying the small steps that client is making towards their treatment goals.

I also am an avid gamer (tabletop and video games), home cook, and runner.

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have been practicing for 15 years. In the past 7 years, I have engaged in doing short-term, goal-oriented therapy with adults.

I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies' Community Mental Health program, and have years of experience working with children and families impacted by systemic issues, trauma, and chronic stress. My experiences navigating cultures and identities, and my ongoing work with multicultural individuals and families, have given me an understanding of cultural humility that informs how I relate to each person's unique perspective. With a client-centered, compassionate, and culturally-responsive lens, my work weaves psychodynamics and attachment theory, as well as mindfulness and somatic awareness to help encourage insight, self-compassion, and a stronger, more flexible center within oneself.

Hello, By the time we reach adulthood, many of us find ourselves carrying the weight of unresolved concerns.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful and self-aware but feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift — whether that’s overthinking, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by competing responsibilities. Many of the adults I work with feel stuck or overwhelmed, even if they’re not entirely sure why. They may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or balancing the many demands in their lives. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, gain clarity, and begin making intentional shifts. My style is collaborative, structured, and supportive. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and practical. In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while also building skills you can apply in everyday life. I aim to create a space that feels calm, respectful, and focused — where insight and action go hand in hand.

Kelli Lundin is a trauma informed yoga teacher, writer, Land protector, and mother of 4. Trained by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur in the Compassionate Inquiry process, Kelli's intention as a psychotherapist is to bring awareness to all facets of ourselves. When we witness these parts with compassion, we become whole, liberated, and restored to our True Nature. As we become more present and connected with ourselves, there is safety and space for authentic expression through our body, psyche, life, and community. Kelli specializes in Complex Trauma; "a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically and then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you're acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you're acting out of fear. Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you." This is often revealed through symptoms of depression, anxiety, and addiction. Our emotions are not tangential to our health. They are a signaling intelligence that can alert us to all sorts of phenomenon in our experience.

Hello, my name is Amber. I specialize in working with individual clients with the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Many suffer with PTSD and other anxiety and depressive conditions which are impacted by past experiences. EMDR provides a gentle, faster-acting therapy to support recovery with research on EMDR showing evidence of permanent brain changes. Please feel free to learn more at emdria.org. I integrate other evidence-based therapies into our sessions as well, customized to each client's treatment plan/goals/needs. My private practice is focused on working with individual clients at this time. Coming to therapy can be intimidating, and here at North Bay EMDR Therapy I provide a warm and nurturing online safe space for us to work together toward your recovery and healing goals. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, so we can get started in facilitating the changes you would like to make through psychotherapy and EMDR.

I work with many teens and young adults in the same boat and am excited to work with you to get yourself back on track and feeling good. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Certified Case Manager. I have worked in a variety of settings with a focus on the teen population since 2001 such as wilderness therapy programs, high schools/boarding schools and rehabilitation/psychiatric hospitals. I enjoy helping teens and young adults up to 25 years of age find their own path and believe that everyone has many answers within themselves. Sometimes these answers are hard to find when life gets in the way. With some self reflection, new awareness and processing it's exciting to see how things can begin to change with some new perspective and development of new stories we tell ourselves. As a result of this work, our lives moving forward can be elevated and begin to move in the right direction. I am honored to help clients in their journey to find peace, inspiration and motivation to be the best they can be! *Please note for clients in the Truckee/Tahoe area option for in person (in addition to virtual) *

I’m a licensed therapist who helps adults navigate anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, and the moments where everything feels like “too much.” My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel understood, and gain clarity. Together, we focus on building practical tools that support emotional balance, confidence, and a greater sense of control in your everyday life.
