My name is Michelle Tapia, LMFT/APCC. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Palo Alto University in Palo Alto, CA. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to embark on their journey toward mental and emotional healing. In a high school setting, I focused on providing support to those with special education needs, particularly through IEPs and 504 plans, while developing a strong skill set in crisis management. Most recently, my experience in a private practice setting has allowed me to further refine my clinical identity. As a lifelong learner, I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge base to better assist my clients.

Hello, I am a graduate from University of Southern California and have been providing mental health services for the past 20 years. I am experienced in providing individual and couples therapy and have an extensive history in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, and substance use. I have worked with various populations from children to teens, homeless, victims of domestic violence (teens & adults) and LGBTQ community. I also enjoy working with newcomers to the United States in helping them transition into a new culture. I come from a client centered approach starting from where the client is and take steps along with the client towards their objective and goals. There is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy as all clients will have their own individual needs and I will work with them to meet their goals. Everyone has challenges in life and everyone has their own story. My goal is to work with the client in changing the narrative and helping them to know that it can be done. Skills are developed that can help ease the transition from "I can't" to "I can".

Hi! My name is Jose Rodriguez, I have been working in behavioral health since 2008, and it has been a very rewarding experience. I have an energetic and enthusiastic approach. Please note that I am licensed in both California and New York. I stay up to date with the latest studies to provide the best care possible. I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I am originally from New York, so I have had the opportunity to gain experience at reputable institutions such as New York Presbyterian Hospital and Montefiore Health System. I have also served as Director of the Behavior Health Department at Salinas Valley Health in Salinas, California. I earned my BA in Psychology from Boston College and my Master of Social Work from Fordham University. I also earned my MBA in Healthcare Administration in 2019. Outside of work, I enjoy boxing, playing golf, yoga, lifting weights, and going to the beach! The goal in psychotherapy is for you to become your own therapist. We would achieve this in a collaborative and strategic manner. There has always been a need to address our emotional well being but until recent times, this topic is more accepted than ever to discuss. Not only do I help people address their problems, but I also aim to help people be self-actualizing.

Welcome, I am so glad that you are here! Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, low motivation to complete tasks, or find it difficult to make decisions? Are you struggling to get a good night's sleep or do your thoughts keep you awake? Are you at a crossroads in life and want to understand the path ahead of you? Together we will develop strategies of coping in an emotionally safe and positive space and will begin to understand the why- Why I am overwhelmed. Why do I feel the way that I feel? Why do I continue to repeat the same cycles? I strongly believe in the power of people and understand that change and life transitions can be challenging and very scary. I believe every moment in our day is an opportunity to do things differently. To learn and to grow. I love what I do, and I am honored to be able to step into your life and help. I pride myself on creating safe spaces that encourage change on your terms.

Hello there, so glad you're here, I’m Juliana (she/her), but you can call me Julie. Have you ever felt that life just hasn't been going the way you'd envisioned? That things seem "too hard to handle"? Are relationships too hard to keep healthy because "you don't feel like you"? I'm here to help navigate to get you to a place of "feeling like yourself again." I am a therapist with over 12 years of experience who works with adolescents and young adults. I work to grow the resiliency skills that you already possess, seeking ways to self-care as a way to manage stress, how to express yourself and other ways to improve communication skills, explore who you want to be, and how to get there and everything in between. I empower individuals to overcome anxiety and depression through organic discussions and the introduction of boundary-setting (internally and externally), self-regulating techniques, and stress management. I love to use a multimodality approach that best suits your needs. I look forward to working along side of you.

As a clinical social worker I've had the opportunity to work with folks who are in all stages of life. I have experience working with individuals facing struggles with: depression, anxiety, family and interpersonal conflict, grief, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and enhancing self-awareness. I prefer to provide one-on-one therapy rather than couples' work, and enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages. My current work leans upon on the theoretical frameworks of: cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), client-centered, and solution focused therapies. I can assist you to develop healthy coping strategies through self-evaluation, skill building, self- acceptance and healing from abuse. Achieving a healthier approach to the way you think, make decisions, and relate to others can help clear a way to the path you want to take!
