Therapists near me in Irvine, CA

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I strive to bring a calm, non-anxious presence into the room while keeping therapy warm, conversational, and human. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety and panic disorders, OCD, ADHD, relationship concerns, and sexual dysfunctions. I also enjoy working with healthcare professionals and people who tend to overthink or feel like they don’t quite “fit in.” My approach is person-centered at its core, meaning I believe therapy works best when clients feel accepted and supported as they are. I then integrate different therapeutic approaches depending on each client’s needs and goals. I believe effective therapy is both human and clinical — connection matters, but so do practical tools and evidence-based strategies. In working with OCD and anxiety, I often remind clients that growth takes practice and consistency. Healing is possible, but it requires learning how to tolerate discomfort rather than avoid it. For couples, I view the relationship as a team. Therapy can help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand one another. Faith-based or Christian counseling is also available for clients who would like to incorporate spirituality into therapy.

Healing is a collaborative journey, and you are the expert on your own life. Let's work together to restore connection, reclaim your peace of mind and build a clearer path forward.

Hello! My name is Gloria Rojas and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Outside of private practice, I work as a Director of Mental Health for a community-based mental health agency. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Master’s in Social Work and a Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Social Work and Child Welfare and Attendance. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to process, heal and rebuild.

All services can be provided in English and Spanish. I was inspired to become a therapist because I truly love helping others and feel a great privilege to be trusted with assisting someone on their journey to healing. I am driven to do this work every day because I have been blessed with experiencing the power of mental health services in my own family of origin. Additionally, as a professional and mother, I hope to serve as an example to others of overcoming obstacles, social pressures, and cultural dynamics to have a balance and thrive in all areas of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach who specializes in working with adults navigating dating, relationships, and family dynamics. I help individuals build healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships while developing a stronger sense of self, confidence, and emotional clarity. I also support clients in healing from childhood trauma and working through family relationships, as well as managing anxiety and depression, with the goal of helping them feel relief from symptoms and experience more happiness and balance in their lives. My work is focused on helping you show up more authentically and securely in your relationships, with others and with yourself.

Having difficulty managing life stressors such as work, relationships, self-esteem, or just life in general? It would be more shocking if we were handling all the stressors and triggers of our current world without the need for the support of others. I find it a privilege to work with adolescents and adults during times in everyone's lives in we need a little more care and compassion. My approach to therapy is primarily humanistic, incorporating attachment theory, narrative therapy, solution-focused and family systems work in working through issues that ultimately lead will us toward growth and healthy transitions. I come from a person-centered approach, in which we collaborate to find the style and framework that feels most aligned to your goals and needs. I work to guide clients in understanding and validating their lived experiences, safely and without victimization. Through personalized insight and psychoeducation, we work together to develop tools focused on self-regulation, expressing feelings in healthy, nonjudgemental ways, and creating a feeling of security and trust in both your mind and body.

Anxiety can feel constant and confusing, especially when trying to navigate challenging relationship dynamics, common life transitions, or simply trying to figure this life thing out. I offer a safe, supportive space to untangle that frustrating sense of feeling stuck, build confidence in being yourself, and navigate life's ups and downs. I partner with clients to walk through the exhaustion of daily stress, self-doubt, and overwhelming worries, helping them build deeper self-understanding and navigate a path forward. Many of the individuals I work with are highly self-aware, yet still find themselves dealing with common struggles like people-pleasing, codependency, and difficulty setting boundaries. My clients often come into therapy expressing things like: -"I have so much anxiety all the time and don't know why." (Exploring generalized anxiety, overwhelm, and the patterns underneath it.) -"I'm just trying to figure this life thing out." (Navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and feeling stuck.) -"I'm stressed by my relationships and don't know where I'm heading." (Working through relationship difficulties, dating anxiety, and codependent patterns.) -"I feel trapped by high expectations." (Exploring perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout.) If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational approaches, tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals. I deeply believe therapy can be the bridge to deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful lasting change. I am here to create a safe, supportive space for you to find growth and healing. I will meet you where you are at, remain open and curious about your experiences, and partner with you to identify and work towards your goals. I believe in the healing power of showing up authentically, creating a trusting relationship with you, and even sharing some laughs along the way.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Evan. I think many people have a deep desire to be seen, heard and understood for whom we really are. I particularly enjoy working with African American individuals (Black), BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) and adult folks; as well as individuals who are dealing with the lingering effects of relational wounds/attachment wounds, and/or emotional overload. In addition, I work with women that are trying to navigate complex relationships; including but not limited to those that have experienced infidelity in their past relationships (either by being unfaithful or having had relationships with people that were emotionally unavailable); as well as women that are looking to find clarity regarding their own complicated relationship experiences without guilt/shame. Ultimately, my goal is to assist my clients in developing greater self awareness and ultimately to achieve meaningful, sustainable change in their relationships, overall emotional well-being and their everyday lives.

Currently not accepting couples, fully accepting you, though! I work exclusively with adults in individual therapy. If you’ve been stuck in the endless therapist scroll, trying to figure out who actually feels safe, relatable, and honest enough to open up to....... welcome! I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective. Many of the people I work with are carrying anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, identity exploration, burnout, anger, shame, grief, or the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” Some feel disconnected from themselves. Others are tired of surviving and want to start living more intentionally. My approach is warm, grounded, direct, and deeply human. Therapy with me is not about analyzing you from a distance or pretending to have all the answers. It is a collaborative space where you can slow down, speak honestly, make sense of your experiences, and begin responding to yourself and your life differently. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I balance compassion with honesty. I will support you, challenge you when needed, and help you notice patterns that may no longer serve you without judgment or shame. I work best with clients who are open to reflection, ready for meaningful change, and willing to engage in the process at their own pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels authentic, conversational, and intentional in the work, we may be a good fit.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I bring warmth, authenticity, humor, and real-life perspective into the therapeutic space, recognizing that healing isn't always a straight line. I draw from evidence-based practices while honoring each person's unique experiences, strengths, and cultural background. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and recognize that meaningful change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood, while also being gently challenged to explore patterns, gain insight, and develop meaningful change. I don't believe therapy is about telling you what to do or how to live your life. Instead, we'll work together to identify your strengths, build practical coping strategies, and help you find your own voice. I bring warmth, honesty, humor, and encouragement into our work, but I also believe that growth requires participation, reflection, and a willingness to try something different.

My name is Gabz, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in different fields within mental health for 7 years. I started working with children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum and Dual Diagnosis. From there I worked as a case manager in community mental health, primarily resourcing for Unhoused and Undocumented families. After, I gained experience at the VA Hospital, specifically supporting military personnel experiencing Domestic Violence. Most recently I have spent the last few years working exclusively with LGBTQIA+ patients, providing 1:1 and couples therapy. I am intensely compassionate for the diverse groups of people I have served and if you find yourself to be someone who has struggled to be seen, cared for, or heard, I want to be someone who can change that. Therapy is hard work and can be a difficult first step, which is why I am intentional about making therapy realistic, creative, and fun whilst working together.

Hi, I’m Sandy. I have a passion for working with children and teenagers who are facing challenges in school, dealing with anxiety, depression, anger issues, peer relationships, or family struggles.

Together, we’ll set meaningful goals and explore strategies to help navigate life’s ups and downs. I’m excited to work with you and help you achieve the growth and change you're seeking. I look forward to meeting you!

Welcome! I'm So Glad You're Here. I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist offering compassionate, client-centered therapy to adults (18+) across California, Hawaii, and Virginia. I provide telehealth therapy in all three states. Whether you're navigating life transitions, experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or working through issues related to self-esteem, life transition, relationships, or coping skills, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. A Safe, Supportive Space to Be Your Authentic Self I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and eclectic—drawing from evidence-based modalities including: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment based, Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Structural Therapy. I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences—because no two paths are the same. **Please note that I provide individual counseling for adults ages 18+. i do not provide couples counseling via telehealth.
