I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Integrative Medicine, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate addiction, anxiety, trauma, and life's most challenging transitions. My passion for this work began with a deep curiosity about human connection, the patterns that shape our relationships, and our remarkable capacity for healing. I currently serve as the Clinical Director of an outpatient dual-diagnosis treatment program in Newport Beach, where I work with individuals facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based practices and the latest research in psychology and neuroscience. I integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), attachment-based interventions, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients better understand the connection between the brain, nervous system, emotions, and behavior. By combining science with compassion, I help clients develop practical tools that foster resilience, emotional regulation, and lasting change. I believe healing is most transformative when we care for the whole person. While my work is rooted in evidence-based treatment, I also recognize the powerful connection between the mind, body, heart, and spirit. My background in ballroom dance has given me a deep appreciation for movement, presence, and the body's role in healing, perspectives that continue to shape my therapeutic approach. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move beyond surviving and toward living with greater clarity, confidence, and connection. Because when the mind begins to heal, the heart remembers how to thrive.

I believe everyone deserves to feel happy, healthy, and fulfilled. That's why I offer a supportive and confidential space for individuals, couples, and families to explore their mental and emotional well-being. I consider all aspects of an individual and implement a bio-psycho-social-spiritual, culturally-sensitive and client-centered approach with individuals, couples, and families .

Hi, I’m Eva, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

Hello, I'm Laura Hansen, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals find healing and growth. I am based in San Diego, California. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding and collaboration. I see my role as providing you with a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, life transitions or relationship issues, I'm here to help you develop the tools to further your emotional well-being. A little bit about my background: I have provided mental health treatment, assessments, and consultations for over 25 years, working in a variety of settings including inpatient hospitals, military bases and local community practices. I am thrilled to be able to use this online platform in order to further extend my work with people. My foundation of training is with Cognitive Behavioral Interventions. Over the years I have developed a more eclectic approach and incorporated other modalities as well. I stay current with the latest evidence based treatments, and use my training and experience to tailor intervention methods based on my clients' needs. Many times I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as my primary treatment method. If you're not sure what this is, I'd be more than happy to talk about it with you when we meet. I have also provided a link below if you would like to look up some information before our first session. I have found this treatment to be powerful and effective, and in many cases to work faster than more traditional talk therapies.

Trauma, recovery and post-traumatic resilience are among my areas of focus. I am trained in EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, exposure therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to provide structured treatment to address extreme stress and PTSD. Before I was a therapist, I worked for many years in art and community organizations, and I tend to be a good fit for artists, activists and unconventional thinkers. I care deeply about the health effects of poverty, inequality and oppression, and I value and promote self-determination and self-actualization. I am a long-time foster/adoptive parent in a biracial family; my work is informed by my lived experience as well as my education.

My practice helps adults handle distress by providing empathy and somatic, insight-oriented support. Being human can feel overwhelming: especially when you're carrying anxiety, trauma, challenges with substance use, or navigating a major life transition. Maybe you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from holding everything together, even when you might look fine.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Knoxville, TN and am licensed in California. I received my masters degree from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for the past five years in community mental health. I feel it is important to create a safe, judgement free environment where clients can openly share experiences and address intimate details of life.

I knew I wanted to be a therapist from a young age. I received my MSW from UCLA in 2006 and became an LCSW in 2011. I have worked with children, tweens, teens and adults. I am drawn to CBT and EMDR because of its emphasis on creating positive cognitions and its potential to empower clients to take control of their lives. My experiences with individuals dealing with the generational cycle of trauma have solidified my desire to help others navigate their own struggles and find lasting well-being.

Hi, my name is Abby. I recognize how difficult it can be to ask for help, so congrats on taking this first, brave step towards feeling better. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. I aim to provide clients a safe space to be their most authentic selves without fear of judgment. I believe we all have inherent strengths and capabilities, and I hope we can use our time together identifying how to maximize yours.

I have always felt drawn to a career in a helping profession, and this work brings me a deep sense of fulfillment. It’s truly inspiring to witness the growth and progress my clients achieve during our time together. My experience spans various clinical settings, including LA County contracts, IOP/PHP programs, Wraparound (DCFS), and more. I approach each client as a unique individual, tailoring treatment to their specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone deserves care that aligns with their personal experiences and perspectives, and I strive to provide that in my practice.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

You are highly self-aware and have accomplished a lot in life, but still find yourself held back by the crippling emotions—fear, sadness, anger. No matter how much you show on the outside that you “have it together”, the breakup, change in family dynamic, the loss, the new job—highlights the storm that you can’t stop inside.

I’m a Latino therapist who specializes in working with trauma, identity, and the emotional weight that comes from growing up in high-stress environments.

My style is honest, direct, and grounded. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods and listens — I’ll challenge you when needed and help you get to the core of what’s keeping you stuck.

Welcome, I commend you for taking this courageous step of seeking support! I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (LMFT 102540) for over 10 years. My specialties include treating PTSD/trauma, mood disorders, attachment and relationship issues, addictive processes, Jungian/psychodynamic therapy, and psychedelic integration for individuals seeking out states of expanded consciousness. I am deeply passionate about helping clients access their Inner Healing Wisdom. I believe that an individual’s encounter with their personal unconscious is essential for the healing process. Our unconscious is a sacred cave where we store our insecurities, fantasies, painful memories, deepest fears, and feelings of guilt and shame. It's also a place where we hid away aspects of our authentic selves that could not "fit" into our environment growing up. I believe that true healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore this hidden cave and integrate it’s contents into our authentic Self. My goal is co-create this foundation of safety and trust with you so we can explore the cave together with courage, compassion, and curiosity.
