I’m also aware of how media, images and messaging can affect our daily lives and experiences.

Hello, I am an LMFT for over 20 years, and my life experiences (growing up bicultural , traveling the world, working with military mental health, researching life and death) and drive for educating myself in many areas has given me a unique view and ability to assist those on a similar path of self knowledge. I enjoy the excitement of others achieving goals and making successful transitions in life. Life is an adventure that you create with your thoughts and desires. I am honored to help you get to the next place you want to be.

I work with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by anxiety, depression, life changes, or relationship stress. My approach is compassionate, honest, and collaborative—blending practical tools with real connection. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. We move through what you’re carrying at your pace, focusing on building clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self so you can feel more grounded and supported in your everyday 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.

I'm a graduate of Smith School of Social Work, and a licensed psychotherapist. Over the past 15 years I've worked in clinical and educational settings. I am flexible in my approach. I trust clients’ innate capacity to heal and emphasize their ability to notice, regulate, and build on their own bodily wisdom. At the same time, I take an active, attuned role—offering moment-to-moment guidance to help organize experience and support nervous system regulation.

I’m Arturo, and I’m honored you’re here. My work as a therapist is grounded in resilience, compassion, and deep respect for the courage it takes to ask for support. After 24 years of service in the United States Marine Corps, including combat deployments, I transitioned into clinical work, earning a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (MFT) from Pepperdine University. For the past four years, I’ve worked with underrepresented communities, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions. I’m especially committed to creating a safe, confidential space where men can speak openly—man to man—about the challenges we often carry silently. I also work with couples using Gottman‑informed approaches to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional relief, or stronger relationships, I offer practical tools, steady support, and a collaborative path toward healing and meaningful change.

I’ve been working with individuals for nearly 20 years, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: none of us are meant to do this alone. Sitting one-on-one with someone as they untangle their story is work I don’t take lightly. It’s an honor. Over the years, I’ve supported people through burnout, transitions, grief, relationship shifts, identity questions, and those quieter seasons where you just know something needs to change, even if you can’t name it yet. I also have advanced training in trauma and ADHD, which means I understand how deeply our nervous systems, past experiences, and unique wiring shape the way we move through the world. Whether you’re navigating the impact of trauma or trying to make sense of an ADHD brain in a world that doesn’t always accommodate it, we’ll approach your work with both compassion and practical insight. Individual therapy is powerful. There is something sacred about having a space that is entirely yours — where you don’t have to perform, hold it together, or take care of anyone else. I also believe people need people and that is why I lead women's groups and retreats as well. At the heart of my work is the belief that we’re all just trying to get home — home to ourselves. Home to steadiness, clarity, belonging, and alignment. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with that place inside you that already knows the way.

I am a therapist who is deeply committed to understanding the “why” behind my clients’ experiences. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, racial stressors, self-esteem struggles, and the quiet weight of daily burdens that can leave a person feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. In my work, I use intentional, reflective techniques that help clients reach deep within to uncover who they were before trauma, disappointment, and life’s obstacles began to shape their narrative. I believe healing begins when a person feels safe, secure, and genuinely cared for. From that place of safety, we are able to rediscover identity, restore confidence, and reconnect with purpose. I empower my clients to move beyond limiting beliefs that keep them small and instead step into the greatness they were always meant for. Much of the sorrow many of us carry stems from a longing to truly know ourselves, trust ourselves, and believe we are worthy. My role is to walk alongside each person with humility and curiosity, honoring their unique story while helping them strengthen their voice, build self-trust, and create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth and life satisfaction, or couples striving to find their relationship voice and reconnect with one another, I strive to create a therapeutic space where healing is possible, resilience is nurtured, and transformation becomes sustainable.

I am a 10 year veteran therapist who believes in the uniqueness of every person I help to realize their special potential. I know people have the capacity to make meaningful changes in their lives that contribute to greater happiness and fulfillment. I never give up even on the most daunting issues that plaque my client's well being. I stand as a strong support of what is right for the client and help to reveal the fastest courses to achieve personal goals. Together we work magic in altering the most perplexing of realities.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and finding the right therapist makes all the difference. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you’re experiencing. Together we’ll build practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

As a Caribbean immigrant of Afro-Indian descent, I am a culturally sensitive counselor whose work is deeply inspired by diverse faith, culture, and communal values. I strive to provide a transparent, warm, and nonjudgmental environment where every individual feels safe and seen. Over the past decade, I have dedicated my practice to supporting culturally diverse and underserved populations and/or those who may feel overlooked or misunderstood. My approach is rooted in active listening and tailored feedback; I do not view myself as an expert in a client's life, but rather as an objective, supportive collaborator. I treat every situation as unique, developing personalized treatment goals that prioritize the individual’s specific journey and well-being.

I have degrees in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy. Following college I gained experience to become a licensed therapist at a non-profit setting. In this setting I supported a wide range of populations such as, teens, adults, families and couples. While gaining knowledge about various mental health needs such as anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, I learned that the populations I enjoy helping the most consist of couples and individuals struggling with relational trauma. I enjoy continuously learning about new advances in the mental health field and stay well connected to this information and other therapists within my role as Secretary for the Sacramento Valley California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. I have learned to use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Brainspotting for trauma processing, trauma informed care and other evidence based therapies to help my clients reach their goals during our time together.

As a seasoned clinician, I specialize in helping clients find steadiness during times of uncertainty. I bring a mindful, practical, and collaborative style to therapy, helping you slow down, make sense of your experiences, and build the skills and confidence needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can reconnect with your strengths and move toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

My practice is built on the belief that everyone possesses the capacity for meaningful change. I view therapy as a truly collaborative, reciprocal, and flexible alliance. My goal is to provide a steady, supportive space. Having navigated multiple career journeys, I experienced the challenges and rewards of professionally starting over. I help clients re-author their personal narratives to find lasting growth and purpose. I am grateful to be part of a healing profession that promotes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

Hello! My name is Maria Hurmetian and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist. I have experience working with all ages, and enjoy working with children, families, and individuals who are experiencing grief/loss, depression, and anxiety. I have worked in many settings Like Childrens' Hospital in Los Angeles, schools, clinical settings, and private practice over the last eleven years.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adult individuals seeking deeper, more meaningful change. I support clients in understanding the patterns that keep them feeling stuck—whether in their emotions, relationships, or sense of self—and help them move toward a more grounded and connected way of living. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space for you to slow down and truly understand yourself.

My name is Christopher, and I believe life can be better than what we have adapted to and gotten used to. Over the years I first began working with the indigent population and there I learned about the connections between substance abuse, mental illness and trauma. I then worked more with addiction when I worked with people struggling to stop substance abuse and once again, I recognized a connection between these behaviors and trauma. Finally, before completing the last stages of earning hours for my license I worked with children and families and noticed the way personal trauma experienced by adults effected parenting and family relationships. Helping people address anxiety and depression symptoms independent of a trauma made improved my abilities who help people that deal with those symptoms along with other trauma indicators.

I’m Danielle Williamson, a trauma‑focused therapist who helps adults move beyond insight and into real, embodied change. I utilize Brainspotting, EMDR, and other modalities because they reach the deeper layers where talk therapy often can’t. My style is warm, collaborative, and paced to your nervous system — no pressure, no judgment, just a grounded space to finally feel unstuck and supported in your healing.

As a child, I experienced severe anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms. Through family support and treatment, I gained tools to manage my symptoms and move forward. While depression has mostly subsided, anxiety and OCD continue to impact how I move through the world, and this experience greatly motivates me to decrease the suffering of others. My specialization is with folks who have survived adverse life events and those who identify with marginalized populations, including LGBTQIA+. I hold a keen awareness of the strengths and barriers involved in the queer experience because I'm queer too. Supporting you in finding safety in community is my honor.

I have a lot of life experience and had several careers before becoming a therapist, and I have traveled extensively. There isn't much I haven't seen or at least heard about. I try to provide a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere for clients so they can feel free to say whatever is on their mind. Believe me when I say that if you've done a thing or thought about it, someone else has too. You are not alone.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about helping people navigate difficult moments and find a greater sense of balance and clarity. I specialize in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, stress, and major life challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building tools that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I really love being a therapist, and it’s so rewarding to support people on their journeys of self-discovery. In many ways, I get to give back the same kind of support that therapy gave me. Over time, I’ve come to see that things like anxiety, depression, chronic illness, or struggles in relationships and careers often show up when something’s off in the mind-body-spirit connection. I’ve been through my own path of growth and transformation, and along the way, I picked up some powerful tools that I truly believe can help you find more healing, love, peace, and purpose in your life. In my work, I lean into attachment theory and also explore the deeper, more spiritual aspects of what it means to be human.

Hello, and Thank You for reading my profile! My name is Sharlene Hanaway. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for many years. During that time, I have worked with many clients who have been deeply challenged by their life circumstances and everyday issues. My clients have tried many different ways to help themselves but need fresh eyes and someone who can help them change their perspectives about the things they can change and let go of the things they can not change. It is a collaborative relationship where we find what works for you! I welcome you to work with me, so you can move on from the issues that are getting in the way of your living the life you want.

I have a specialization working with couples, families and individuals; as well as substance abuse/chemical dependency and addiction treatment (porn, sex & gambling). In many cases the depressed and anxious client is self medicating in some way to alter underlying feelings of depression, anxiety and intimacy/attachment issues. I use Somatic Experiencing, a very effective treatment for trauma/PTSD symptoms, helping the body and mind regulate itself. Clients in relationships with loved ones addicted or abusing substances can benefit from therapy to learn how to take care of themselves so as to limit the toxicity of the proximity I utilize CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and the John Gottman strategies. Clients learn that thoughts create feelings, mood then affect. With couples and families my job is to provide a safe place where effective communication can develop, listening and most importantly the ability to respond to each other rather than react/ conflict resolution. I treat compulsive sexual behaviors, chemical dependency, anger management & PTSD. I will assess, diagnose & write a letter for patients wanting to travel with their pet, allowing them to live without harassment from landlords and airlines etc.

Hi there and great job on taking that first step in considering if therapy is right for you. I invite you to come with me on a journey of your own choosing where we will walk together in darkness to find the light you’ve been seeking. Whether it’s life’s little annoying stressors or more complex issues, as a trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand what this is like and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Whether you choose me or another therapist, make the choice to just give it a try. Sometimes all you need is another person to hold the light while you do the work you need to heal.

Everyone has the capacity for true positive change. I value the complexity of people's unique diverse backgrounds and life values/goals, and use these to guide treatment to help clients reach their potential. My goal is to help you understand your past and develop new ways of dealing with life challenges to create a healthier present. I believe that the best therapy is done when the client and therapist have a strong working relationship. Developing a safe, trusting relationship and working collaboratively creates an environment in which this change can happen more quickly and effectively. I view myself as a caring change agent ready to facilitate the process in a beneficial and meaningful way.

*Currently accepting female clients only* Therapy has changed, and thankfully so. The old idea of spilling your heart out to someone who feels distant, judgmental, or out of touch does not work anymore. So let’s not do that. I’m Jessica Milgrome, a licensed mental health clinician with 15 years of experience, a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I work with women navigating anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is modern, direct, and judgment-free. Therapy with me is a real conversation. No awkward silence. No walking on eggshells. No wondering if you said the wrong thing. We talk openly, focus on what actually helps, and skip techniques that do not fit your real life. Sessions can be video or phone. If video feels too intense some days, that is okay. Therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. To share a bit about myself, I’m a big fan of stand-up comedy because laughing really is life. I look forward to Mondays for Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlists and live by the mantra, “When words fail, let the music speak.” I also share my life with six dogs. I’m here to help you organize your thoughts, build confidence, set boundaries you can keep, and move forward feeling clearer and more grounded.
