Providing online therapy throughout California, I work with adults of all ages who find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, defeated, or frustrated in their experience of daily life and relationships. Having a safe and confidential space to talk about how you're really doing, where all your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be shared and accepted without judgement is an important step in healing past hurts and growing into the person you'd like to become.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist supporting individuals navigating trauma, crisis, addiction, anxiety, life transitions, and unresolved conflict. I work with those who feel overlooked or misunderstood, including first responders, trauma survivors, individuals with complex PTSD, postpartum depression, or other mental health diagnoses. My approach is whole-person centered, exploring the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of your experience. Together, we’ll build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a licensed therapist (LMFT, LPCC) who helps high-achieving adults move from overwhelmed and stuck to grounded and aligned. I bring a calm, relational presence to therapy and specialize in navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and identity-related transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and collaborative—with space for integrating faith when it’s meaningful to the client and supportive of their growth.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who shows up with authenticity, compassion, and deep respect for your story. I specialize in grief and have extensive experience working with adolescents and older adults navigating life transitions, loss, and emotional overwhelm. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, collaborative space where you are truly seen and supported — and where growth happens at your pace.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a deep passion for human stories — stories of courage, resilience, healing, and change. I bring warmth, curiosity, and humor into the therapy space, and I aim to create a relationship that feels welcoming, attuned, and supportive. I work with thoughtful, motivated, and often creative adults who may appear to have it all together on the outside, but carry a lot beneath the surface. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, or burnout, while others come feeling creatively blocked, disconnected from purpose, or unsure of what wants to come next. Some arrive with a quieter sense that something meaningful wants attention — a desire to understand themselves more deeply and feel more present and alive. Over time, you may begin to notice familiar patterns in how you relate to yourself and the world. These patterns may show up as perfectionism, constant striving, intellectualizing, or people-pleasing — ways of coping that once made sense in earlier family, cultural, or relational environments, but over time can lead to exhaustion, disconnection, or a sense of not fully being yourself. In therapy, I offer a space to slow down and listen inward. We work at a pace that honors the wisdom of your nervous system, gently exploring patterns while also strengthening your capacity for grounding, connection, and self-trust. Alongside the deeper work, there is room for play, creativity, and moments of wonder — for reconnecting with what brings meaning, pleasure, and aliveness. My hope is to support and empower you in moving toward a more meaningful, authentic, and joyful life.

"You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change. I began my working career as an EMT in pre-hospital and Emergency Room settings. The desire to further my education and better serve my community led me to pursue becoming an LMFT. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandman University and a Master’s degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling from Brandman University. I have additional training and experience in Clinical Pastoral Education from the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy at David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base and have worked in both residential treatment and clinical settings. I have four sons and two grandchildren. In my off time I enjoy spending time in nature, photography, and attending baseball games with my husband of 25 years.

Hello and welcome. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your courage to take the first step in selecting a therapist. The thought of sharing intimate thoughts, struggles and personal experiences can be overwhelming and frightening. I hope to assist you in feeling confident that you have come to the right place to express your needs and work on feeling better. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) from California. I have over 12 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For about seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background. My first experience using telehealth was during the pandemic. With the increase of mental health needs, I discovered the importance of being able to provide services through the telehealth platform. It inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.

My aim is to foster a supportive and safe space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and challenges. My work will help you recognize the power within you & source( whatever you believe in is totally okay in my world, I respect all) and trusting that it all works out the way it should! I have also faced my own life challenges, moved across the country to my dream states and more, which I believe has taught me to have more compassion and an open mind. Hence, why I always state I am a human first. One of my biggest strengths that helps foster a safe space for my clients, is my unconditional acceptance & operating from an unapologetic authentic framework, whilst helping them get to the level they desire. * I do offer a scaling rate for fees, please reach out for more information on that*

My name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of licensure and eight years of experience providing therapy.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with 24 years of experience helping adults in a variety of mental health settings. I presently offer online individual therapy for adults residing in California. My style is interactive, collaborative, supportive, strength-based, and solution-focused. Each session is tailored to your individual needs. Therapy can be as brief as a few weeks or longer depending on your treatment goals.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they explore and address the challenges they face.

I believe true change happens when we are able to confront and process difficult emotions, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

These methods allow for deeper healing and lasting change, helping you move past obstacles and embrace personal growth.

Hi there! I’m a therapist originally from Virginia, with deep passion for the LGBTQ+ and African American communities. My heart and practice has also been shaped by seven vibrant years in San Francisco. My approach is creative, compassionate, and affirming. I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen, and I strive to create a space where you can show up as your full self. Outside of therapy, I’m deeply inspired by music (of all genres), art, and all things creative. I bring that same spirit into my work, helping clients tap into their own resilience, insight, and expression.

All things are interconnected. To feel better, you have to act better. To feel better, you have to think better. To think better, you have to feel better. To act better, you have to think better. To think, feel, and act better, you have to care for your physical health. To care for your physical health, you have to think, feel, and act better. Each has a corresponding effect on the other. However, the aspect of ourselves that we have the most direct control of is what we do, our acting. While we can influence other people, we cannot control other people. A great source of conflict and unhappiness results from our efforts to control others. If you want better relationships, the only thing we can control is what we do, how we choose to relate. We are responsible for what we do. Others are responsible for what they do. Accepting this fundamental reality and thinking, feeling, and acting in accordance with it is how we increase our experience of power, freedom, belonging, meaning and, very importantly, fun. My professional experience includes over 30 years of post-Master’s clinical work, including leadership experience in foster care, chemical abuse and addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and crisis intervention, de-escalation, and hospitalization. I am experienced in working with ages three through the elderly. I have worked extensively with youth and families, diverse populations and life issues, providing services in various settings, including family homes, schools, juvenile detention facilities, jails, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric facilities.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate these feelings alone. I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals navigate major life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationships. My passion is working with individuals who are seeking a safe space, a listening ear, and support to navigate through difficult experiences. I believe that therapy is client centered, while prioritizing the client’s lived experiences, cultural values, and personal meaning. My goal is to not only help you cope, but provide tools that will help you grow with confidence and empower you long after our session ends.

I am a clinical therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. My approach focuses on helping individuals recognize and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and modify behaviors that may be interfering with their well-being. I work collaboratively with clients to strengthen problem-solving skills, build emotional awareness and regulation, and foster resilience. My goal is to support each person in gaining insight, developing practical tools, and moving toward meaningful and lasting personal growth.

I’ve worked in various roles in the mental health field since 1991 and have been a practicing clinician since 2012. My approach is genuine and authentic, warm and welcoming. I hope to help others appreciate what is sometimes the absurdity and incongruity of life's situations. It’s good to laugh, to have joy, appreciate what is better. GROW is secondary employment, and during the day I work for a county mental health plan delivering complex interventions for youth, families, and adults. On this platform I offer time in the evenings.

Therapy is my passion! I absolutely love to watch my clients grow and change before my eyes. Hi, I’m Lois, Mother of 3 amazing boys, business owner and lover of life. I have learned so much through my years of working with clients individually, in groups and with families and couples. What I have learned is that as humans we are resilient! We have been given this life to have joy and life lessons. I have been honored to guide and encourage many clients over the last 20 years. It is my life purpose to help others especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy that is around us. I use many different modalities to guide clients on their journey. One of my main modalities is EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) which are both very effective healing modalities. I'm always excited to learn new techniques and offer a variety of modalities to assist my clients in their healing journey. I also use short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness among others to bring about change. I truly believe as a therapist I must do my own work, for I cannot take you to a place that I have not visited. I have done many years of my own therapy, attended healing retreats, participated in group therapy and attended 12 step meetings, writing and more recently I became certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. My main goal for the Kundalini teacher training was to deepen my practice, to understand myself and others on a deeper level and to inspire others to use self care, chanting and meditation to create healing physically, spiritually and mentally.

Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As your therapist, my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth, healing, and the tools to navigate life with confidence and resilience. I’m Michelle, and I am so glad you’re taking this brave step on your wellness journey. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes we encounter obstacles that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even disconnected from who we are. These challenges might stem from past trauma, ongoing stress, or life transitions that feel too big to manage alone. My passion is walking alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their strengths, rediscover their self-worth, and build a path toward a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Do you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result? Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Do you feel like there's a part of you that has died and hasn't come back to life? Hi, my name is Merisa. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Art Therapist and artist. I help highly functioning adults manage their stressors and find more balance in life. I am an art therapist, meaning we will use art as a communication tool to express emotions, process trauma and relieve stress. I have many clients who are not willing to do art therapy, and that's okay as well! Talking is just as effective. If you're from a family who didn't talk about feelings, and/or avoided conflict, it is possible that talking about your feelings isn't easy. I am here to help ease you into it.

I believe that therapy can heal, but I also know that telling a stranger about your deepest pain can be a strange feeling. Perhaps you've been feeling sad, depressed or worried, and hopeless that anything in your life can change. Or maybe you aren't sure what you would even want help with. You know you feel bad, but if someone were to ask you "How can I help?", you aren't sure what you would say. These problems can feel permanent and unsolvable. After all, something feels broken and unfixable, so how could you not feel that it takes all the energy you have just to get up in the morning and go about your day? Depression or anxiety can also feel isolating, as if nobody else could possibly understand. You may have even received advice from people who you feel mean well but can't understand what you're going through. Depression and anxiety are not permanent or unfixable, and therapy can help. Imagine feeling peace of mind, and excited about life and its possibilities. It starts by learning about you and going at your pace. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 16 years experience working with adults and teens, I've seen therapy work, and I feel lucky that I get to be part of that journey for others.

As a therapist specializing in serving individuals of color, I place great emphasis on promoting self-care and wellness among my clients.

My approach includes empowering clients to create personalized self-care routines, coping strategies, and resilience-building techniques that are tailored to their unique needs. Additionally, I provide various resources and methods to assist clients in cultivating self-awareness, establishing boundaries, coping with pressure, and fostering a sense of equilibrium and contentment in their lives.

Hi there, I'm Alicia. Are you feeling lost or stuck in some aspect of your life and finding it hard to move forward? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? With your permission, I help to hold the container for deeper exploration and healing. I am a trauma-focused therapist, certified in EMDR and trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I’m originally from Southern California, the traditional homelands of the Tongva (Gabrielino) and Chumash peoples, and I’m now based in Colorado, on the ancestral lands of the Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne peoples. I offer virtual individual therapy to clients in both states. I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of wisdom that can be cultivated through psychotherapy, psychedelic medicines, meditation practices, yoga and other connecting practices that link the brain, body and spirit. My therapeutic approach is grounded in mindfulness, compassion, curiosity, and respect. I often draw from concepts rooted in Buddhist psychology and contemplative traditions. I frequently incorporate EMDR as an evidence-based method for working with both acute and developmental trauma, along with parts work (IFS). I am attentive to the impact of a person’s social, physical, and cultural environment, as well as systems of oppression. Clients describe my approach as warm, relational, collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I cannot do the work for you, but I can help you along the way, and it is truly an honor and a joy for me.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from the University Antioch Los Angeles and have been practicing for 10 years. I help adults at different stages of life and transitions who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma to help nurture and restore a sense of balance. My approach to working with clients is centered around the individual as a whole - recognizing intrinsic uniqueness and reinforcing inner strength – supporting an individuals innate ability to grow and thrive.

I have been a licensed therapist for 19 years. I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is formed in a collaboration between myself and my clients in an environment of mutual acceptance and respect. In addition to my education, training and experience as a therapist I rely on my innate skills as an active listener, my good memory and genuine caring to guide me in my approach to therapy.

Hello there! Are you seeking empowerment, fulfillment, or healing from past trauma? I provide a safe space to accompany you on a journey of self-discovery. I believe in the interconnectedness of our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships, and I address each of these personal facets to help you emerge holistically. My therapeutic style draws from various approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), attachment therapy approach, and Brainspotting (BSP). I value the relational aspect of psychotherapy, and with my guided questions, you will be invited to find your answers to improve your sense of self and deepen your connection with yourself and others.

I offer a collaborative, culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. My work focuses on helping you manage distressing emotions so they don’t feel overwhelming or in control of your life. Together, we build the ability to sit with discomfort, rather than avoid it, while also learning how to slow down and reconnect with the present moment. Many clients come in feeling stuck —I help you create space to not only process difficult emotions, but also to experience joy, calm, and a greater sense of balance. I support you in developing insight, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building confidence in your ability to navigate challenges. Using an integrative approach that may include mindfulness, CBT, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed practices like EMDR, I tailor our work to what best supports your goals. Therapy with me is both supportive and practical—you’ll gain tools you can use in your everyday life, while also doing the deeper work that leads to lasting change.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I consider myself to be a focused, inspired, compassionate, curious, solution-oriented, somatic, holistic, client-centered therapist. Providing the kind of support, understanding, and insights that give my clients the hope, motivation, and aha moments to elevate their self experience and personal healing to the next level.

I was born and raised in Oakland, California. I am a father of 5 boys and am currently married for over 16 years. I am a retired Longshoreman. So, being a therapist is a second career for me. I offer my clients a place to explore all aspects of their life. I embrace discussions about identity (race, sexuality, socio economic issues, gender, ableism etc...) I was taught the client is the expert in their own experiences. I see my role as supporting the client in deepening their understanding of the past, the present and how they can create a future of their own making.
