Hi there! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California focusing providing empathetic, practical, client centered support for a variety of mental heath concerns. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship stress, work related stress, psychosis, and suicidal thoughts. Whether it is everyday stressors, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or something more acute, I hope I can be the provider to help you manage and mitigate symptoms. My goal is to help equip clients with the tools and skills they need to be the best versions of themselves, and help make steps towards their goals so they can start living the life they aspire to.
As an ally, my goal is to create a deeply collaborative space where your whole identity, including your race, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, and neurodivergence, is honored. I recognize how systemic oppression impacts mental health, and I am committed to walking alongside you without judgment. Together, we will unpack your unique story and build a path toward healing on your own terms.
Outside of work, you can find me engaging with a variety of my favorite self care activities. Spending time in nature, taking my elderly dog on hikes or to the beach, sharing meals with loved ones, or reading fictional literature.
Welcome! My name is Rosalinda Garza (Rosa), and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I bring years of experience across a range of mental health settings, including correctional facilities, residential programs, community-based services, and educational environments.
I am committed to creating a safe, respectful, and compassionate space where clients feel heard and supported. Together, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs one that encourages growth, fosters empowerment, and builds lasting resilience.
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I work with men and women who want to feel better about themselves, navigate life's ups and downs, and continue growing into the person they want to be. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment.
My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and down-to-earth, blending CBT, DBT, supportive therapy, and humanistic principles to help you gain insight, build practical skills, and create meaningful change.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, life transitions, and long-standing patterns in how people relate to themselves and others. I see mental health as the ability to perceive reality accurately, including the differences between yourself and others, and to respond to it effectively. I tailor my approach to your needs, whether that's practical life challenges, rigid thought patterns, or emotional pain held in the body after trauma. I also help you untangle enmeshed family relationships: recognizing where your own feelings and needs end and others' begin, and setting boundaries without guilt. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic theory. Effective therapy, in my view, means both challenging the thinking and relational patterns that keep you stuck and learning to understand and regulate the emotions underneath them.
Thank you for stopping by! A little about myself. I am licensed in both California and Oregon. I am available for virtual sessions for all clients and a physical office in Salem, Oregon for in-person sessions. My virtual and in-office hours are typically Monday through Thursday, 10am-6pm. I am a mother to three adult children, a Nana to 5 and dog mom to 2 Jack Russel's. I grew up in foster care and was adopted in my teens. That path led me through my own therapeutic journey as I struggled with depression and anxiety. As I found wellness, I launched into social work professionally to support youth and families, and eventually here, as a licensed therapist. I have been working with Individuals and families in various therapeutic settings for over 25 years, supporting those who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment/bonding issues, life stage challenges, and relationship conflicts to name a few. I find myself continually in awe of the resilience of the human spirit. I am honored with the trust my clients offer me as they process thoughts and feelings around their challenges as we journey together to find answers that make sense and solutions that work.

My goal is to assist you in regaining control of your mental health by offering a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic space.

I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a warm, direct, practical, and collaborative style. I try to create a space that feels human rather than overly clinical, where clients can be honest, use humor when appropriate, and feel understood without being judged. My work is structured and goal-oriented, but I adapt therapy to the individual rather than expecting every client to fit one approach. I often help clients recognize patterns, understand where they come from, challenge beliefs that are no longer helping them, and translate insight into realistic changes in relationships, work, emotional regulation, and everyday life.
My approach integrates CBT, DBT-informed skills, attachment and family-of-origin work, trauma-informed care, strengths-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and practical life-skills interventions. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, substance-use and recovery concerns, relationship difficulties, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, life transitions, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. My background includes telehealth, private practice, outpatient and residential behavioral health settings, working with diverse adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and particularly value helping clients build self-awareness, confidence, healthier boundaries, stronger communication, and a life that feels more aligned with who they actually are.

I’m a compassionate and genuine therapist who believes that people are capable of meaningful growth, healing, and change—even when life feels overwhelming or they feel stuck. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity into my work, creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment.
My approach is grounded not only in professional training, but also in the variety of life experiences that have shaped me. I understand that life rarely follows a straight path, and sometimes we need someone who can sit with us in the hard places while also helping us find a way forward. I work collaboratively with my clients, meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be.
At the heart of my work is a genuine desire to make a difference in people’s lives. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they gain insight, build healthier patterns, navigate difficult seasons, and become more fully who they want to be.

Some examples include outpatient/inpatient care, hospice, the prison system, and the education system.
My approach is collaborative and I strive to make my patients feel understood and heard throughout the process. I often explain to them that even though I may be the professional, they are the professionals of their own lives and it's just an honor to play a small part in supporting them.
Hi I'm Shawn! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I'm warm, funny, compassionate, and a genuine therapist who believes you should be able to feel comfortable being your authentic self in therapy. I bring a gentle yet direct approach to our work- I'll listen without judgment, while also helping you recognize patterns, challenge what may be holding you back, and move toward the life you want.
I’m a warm, direct, and down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel like a genuine human relationship rather than a cold or overly clinical experience. My approach is rooted in feminist and existential therapy, which means we’ll look not only at what you’re experiencing internally, but also at how relationships, family patterns, societal expectations, identity, and your lived experiences have shaped you. I value humor, curiosity, honesty, and creating a space where you don’t have to edit yourself. My goal isn’t to tell you how to live your life, but to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and build a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
Welcome, my name is Kiran and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #28451) with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in and provide mental health support to people dealing with fertility issues, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2002.
In 2005, I started working on the maternal-child health floor in a hospital setting where I was able to help patients experiencing grief, loss, postpartum depression, and medical trauma. My passion truly lies in working with individuals going through their journeys and challenges in pregnancy, childbirth, any type of loss, adoptions, or surrogacies.
In 2019, I struggled with my own loss of losing my father and felt it was the right time to move on from the medical field in the hospital setting to a smaller medical setting. Working as a preceptor in this new smaller medical setting, I quickly realized that this was not my calling as I began to miss working with the perinatal population. Soon after, I was given an opportunity to provide mental health therapy to the perinatal population and I believe this remains my calling.
I am of Asian descent and love learning about everyone's family histories, cultures, foods, etc.

Hi! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based In California. I received my Masters from University of Phoenix and have been practicing for the past 13 years. I help young adults struggling with career stress, family stress, low self esteem, depression and anxiety. My goal is to help individuals to become the best version of themselves in order to live a meaningful life.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master's degree from the University of Michigan. I have been practicing as a clinician for the past 9 years and have been in private practice for the past 5 years. I love my career and what it has enabled me to do. I help my clients normalize their mental health journey.
My vision in life is to help people understand and be changed by the fact that they are precious, valuable, and loved. What we believe about ourselves shapes the thoughts we have and the decisions we make, so my goal is always to start with identity since everything flows from that. When we learn how God truly views us, we have the ability to gain renewed perspective and tools for how to deal with the anxiety, depression, and other turmoil life brings.
My name is Jeffrey Yeom, and I'm a 1.5-generation Korean-American therapist. I believe one of our deepest human needs is to understand and to be understood. That's why I do this work: to help you realize you don't have to navigate life alone. My practice centers on decolonizing mental health, which means freeing you from values imposed by dominant culture so you can reconnect with what truly matters to you. I take time to learn your background, identity, and cultural world, then weave that understanding into rituals, traditions, and self-care practices that honor who you are. Together, we'll explore the emotions that point toward your truest values and gently rewrite patterns that no longer serve you. I work from an emotion-focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approach. In my sessions, I invite you to show up exactly as you are. We'll explore the relationships and experiences that have shaped you with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment. If you're looking for a space where your whole story can belong, I hope you reach out. Many of my clients carry stories shaped by migration, acculturation, or family expectations. You're not alone in navigating these.
My values as a therapist include openness, non-judgment, empathy, cultural humility, strength based, and unconditional positive regard. My approach is integrative and centers the needs of my clients; I utilize active interventions involving cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused-therapy, motivational interviewing, grief and loss, to name a few. I aspire to cultivate a trusting, safe and empowering space for the people I serve. I place a lot of emphasis on building a therapeutic relationship with patients that allows for authentic self-expression.

I have experience working in community mental health, school-based, and private practice settings.
I am dedicated to my clients and enjoy seeing growth and self-exploration through our journey together.
I’m a therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, chronic pain, trauma, life transitions, or sometimes just feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.
My approach is collaborative and flexible because I don’t think therapy should look exactly the same for everyone. I draw from approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing depending on what you’re working through and what feels useful to you. Sometimes that means learning practical tools or finding a different way to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions. Other times, it means slowing down and looking at patterns, relationships, past experiences, or the things that may be happening underneath the surface.
I want therapy to feel comfortable, honest, and real. You may come in knowing exactly what you want to work on, or you may need some time to figure that out. Either way, we’ll start with what feels important to you and go from there.

Are you feeling stuck, disconnected in your relationships, or noticing patterns that you don’t fully understand?

I generally see people over a period of at least a few years. And former patients say that they appreciate the results we get.
