California Therapists who take Harvard Pilgrim/UnitedHealthcare

My goal is to work collaboratively with clients and individualize treatment, to reduce negative symptoms and increase positive emotional well-being and life functioning. Utilizing evidence-based practices, I will work with you to help you learn to manage difficult emotions and develop tools that work for you. I have experience working with diverse populations, including children and families, adolescents, court-ordered services for victims of domestic abuse as well as perpetrators, and people experiencing difficult life transitions such as divorce or death. In the public high school setting as a trama and crisis Therapist, I focused on helping students experiencing suicidal ideation, eating disorders, self-harm, domestic violence, sexual assault, peer conflict, school and academic difficulties, and family conflict. In the community mental health setting, I focused on victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, and children in foster care due to court orders, I have been trained in Complex Trauma, received specialized training from Cornell in Non-Suicidal Self-Injury, DBT, and received my Grief Recovery Specialist certification through The Grief Recovery Method Institute. Issues I work with range from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem, life transitions, suicidal ideation, family conflict, and even self-harm. I thrive in helping others learn to cope with the issues which cause them distress, anxiety, and stress. I take great pride in seeing clients achieve goals they previously thought were out of reach, and would be honored to help you as well. I can not imagine anything more rewarding than making such a positive impact through the work that I get to do. Please note that my listed availability is set, and I don't have any other availability. If you require a different time than what my availability lists, I would recommend searching for a Therapist that can meet your availability.

Hi there! My name is Marixa and I have been working in the field of mental health for over 10 years. I have a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Educational Counseling. I have experience supporting individuals who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, painful past experiences, issues in relationships, “feeling stuck”, etc. I use a wide range of techniques to support my clients through their needs. I have found that using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), in combination with talk therapy, has supported many of my patients with reducing the overall intensity of their symptoms and helping them attain their treatment goals. Sometimes taking a leap of faith and allowing yourself to feel and process your pain is what will help you feel more in alignment with where you want to be and how you want to feel.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California and received my Masters degree from the University of Southern California. I have been in the field for a little over 10 years now and and have provided therapy to clients for approximately 8 years. I help adolescents and adults work through issues related to self-esteem, anxiety, family and peer relationships, body image, depression, academic and work stress, grief and loss, and anger management.

Why me? I provide a safe space to unload your struggles, desires, failures, losses and be supported in your future goals. Don't know yet, we can take the journey and discover these together. I use my years of experience to educate about the functioning of the brain, body and spirit to lead toward a more fulfilling life.

Hi there, I’m Genevieve. Do you feel like your emotions are out of your control? Do you feel stuck, confused, overwhelmed? I assist people with understanding their emotions so they can be engaged and present in each moment of their lives. I love mixing a combination of mindfulness techniques, empathic counseling and trauma interventions to help people feel more in control. In addition, I specialize in navigating medical trauma for patients, providers, and first responders. My experience as a medical social worker for close to a decade gives me the unique skills to help you cope with and adjust to challenging diagnoses and medical treatment. Similarly, my firsthand experience as a provider in the hospital allows me to support other medical professionals (e.g. physicians, nurses, medical assistances) with the specific challenges that come with providing medicine in our current health care climate. I'm passionate about healing through self-exploration. I hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a safe place you deserve to discovery your true self.

Welcome! I am Reina Michelle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping people who are going through difficult times in their lives. I work with individuals to express their feelings and learn to communicate with one another successfully. Patterns in stuck relationships can be changed with learned skills and empathy towards one another. All one needs is the desire to change old tired behaviors into new successful ones. I am licensed and have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from JFK University in San Jose, CA. Life is too precious to put off your happiness and well-being any longer. Helping you to improve your life is important to me. It is truly an honor to meet you.

Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this pattern has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively in reaching your goals.

I’m Steven Frank. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), licensed in California and living in Seattle, Washington. The way the law works is that if I have a California license, I can live outside of California, but can only work with California residents. For that reason, all my work is perforyemed online through telehealth. I see primarily adults and seniors in my practice and while I work mostly withindividuals, I will also see couples when needed. I’ve been licensed since 1983 but actually began to “grow” a private practice beginning in 1990. While most of my experience has been with clients dealing with depression and anxiety, over the last 4-5 years I’ve been more focused on the treatment for symptoms of trauma and abuse. I’ve been trained in EMDR (a specific treatment for trauma), and will use that method as needed, when appropriate, and with your understanding of the process, and consent. By the way, my first job experience (before beginning my schooling for the MFT license), was in the California State Hospital system as a psychiatric technician. I was a member of a hospital inpatient treatment team that treated people with severe mental disorders. This was excellent training for working with clients who are seeking help, but on an outpatient basis.

Hello, my name is Max, and I am an LCSW practicing in California. I currently have one opening available every other Monday at 7:15pm. For many people, the hardest part of the therapy process is getting started. Asking someone to go to all the work of finding not just a therapist, but the right therapist for them, all while in the middle of a mental health crisis? It can be a daunting task. My practice centers around making that process as painless as possible, so that we can get right to the core of what made you decide to seek therapy in the first place, and get to work on working on you.

Jungian therapy will look at the relationship of your “self” to your experiences and look at problems as a symptom of something deeper. ​ Whether it be a thought or perception, dream, belief, value or current relationship that brings you to therapy, we'll look for what messages are coming to you from within. Tapping into your own creativity, we can use myth and metaphor, poetry, dreams, literature and art to explore your relationship to the problem.

Hey there, I'm Veronika Hoover, LCSW. The foundation of my practice is around getting our mind and our spirit back into our heart and our body and going from there. One of my prior clients told me, "Thank you for walking with me in the dark, and not being afraid of what we will find."

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from California Baptist University and have been practicing for 7 years.

I work from a belief that my clients are the expert in their lives and my job is to join alongside you in your struggle and empower you to uncover the solutions you seek.

Good to meet you! Please, call me Annita. To begin with--therapy means something is "right" with you, as you listened to your heart asking to be heard by someone in a safe, non-judgmental place of acceptance. Now let me ask: anxiety or depression, histories or memories of childhood or adult traumatic events, grief and loss of a beloved family member, friend, or pet to whom you were closely connected, navigating chronic illness--have any of these challenges disrupted your life so it feels intolerable? Let me hear your heart--not with a stethoscope, but with listening to you. My 30+ years of previous career in nursing taught me that 'listening' to words from the heart is one of the most important aspects of a relationship--not just hearing the words but feeling the emotional impact as well. Having worked in adult and pediatric populations, I understand that all ages and populations deserve respect, kindness and compassion. I have worked as a mental health clinician with adolescents, teens, transitional age youth, young and older adults. From a nursing perspective, I am very aware of medical issues that often affect our mental health and may need assessment by a physician to provide the best treatment, while I offer the skills that increase abilities to cope with those needs. I provide experiences in your session to help you realize your worth, build coping skills, regain confidence as well as compassion for all you have experienced in life, continue to grow through challenges, and progress toward the goal you desire.

I was born and raised in Phoenix, and identify as biracial (Vietnamese/Caucasian), queer, and non-religious. I have background experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, specifically in schools/in-home, community mental health, and psychiatric settings. I am seasoned in treating behavioral and mood/anxiety-related disorders, autism (I do not provide formal testing for autism), trauma, and relationship issues (although I am not accepting couples at this time). Outside of my career, I enjoy art, piano, cooking, traveling, and going on romps with my three dogs Ranni, Ume, and Daxter.

Have you been feeling stuck? Having difficulty connecting in your relationships? Or have been wanting to explore underlying core beliefs or unresolved trauma that have been impacting your relationships with friends, family, and/or even the relationship with yourself? The journey to unpacking and challenging those core beliefs is a gift to yourself. My experience includes working with BIPOC individuals, individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD* by a psychologist/psychiatrist, and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. But most importantly, working alongside individuals who are struggling returning to their baseline. Taking the time to look for a therapist that best fits your current needs is important. If you are reading this and it aligns with your emotional and mental needs I would love to join you on this journey towards healing. These weekly or biweekly sessions are dedicated for you and only you. I am looking forward to beginning this journey with you. *DISCLAIMER: Under my license, it is out scope to diagnose a person with ADHD. However, I have experience in working with individuals who are having difficulties with managing attention/impulse/hyperactive behaviors.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California.

I help adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, co-dependency, school issues, trauma, among other issues, to help them discover how to become a better version of themselves.

Have you been struggling with anxiety and/or lack of direction? Are you critical of yourself and feeling negative and sad? Do you have issues in your past you feel are impacting your present? Are you challenged by a life transition? Change is hard and not always smooth. Sometimes we get in our own way toward the life we want to live. I can help gain perspective and look at whether your thoughts and behaviors are helping you along your path or hindering your way. We can look at how patterns, thoughts and behaviors that might have been adaptive from a less than perfect past might be getting in your way now.
