Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California, North Carolina and Florida. I received my Master's in Social Welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles. Most of my career has been focused in health care settings where I have worked as an outpatient behavioral health therapist, inpatient therapist and medical social worker. I bring a whole person approach into my work with clients and strive to provide a safe and supportive environment which facilitates personal growth and healing.

For the past decade, I have been diligently offering counseling services to individuals seeking transformative life changes or simply seeking solace in processing their emotions and thoughts. My focus has been on guiding clients toward personal growth and emotional well-being through compassionate and insightful support. I was drawn to a career as a therapist by a deep-rooted desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Witnessing the immense potential for personal growth and healing that can be achieved through therapy, I felt a strong calling to be a facilitator of that transformative process. The opportunity to provide support, guidance, and empowerment to individuals facing challenges and seeking to improve their well-being is what truly drives me. Seeing clients overcome obstacles, gain insight, and experience positive change reinforces my passion and commitment to this meaningful work.

I believe that healing begins with a strong, supportive relationship, which is why I take a client-centered approach - meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and creating a safe space where you feel seen and heard. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults working through anxiety, depression, family dynamics and life transitions. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, building resilience, and develop tools to manage life's ups and downs. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, I'm here to support you on your journey towards feeling more grounded and empowered.

I am a licensed therapist who supports children, adolescents, adults, and families through life’s emotional challenges with compassion and care. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relational or parenting concerns, and I also provide faith-integrated and culturally sensitive therapy when desired. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and a strengths-focused lens that honors each client’s unique experiences, values, and goals. Through our work together, I help clients build insight, develop effective coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident as you navigate daily stressors and relationships in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

Welcome to my profile. I hope it will help you find a therapist who is a good fit for you. My name is Jon. I have 28 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Holistic Studies in 2002 and have been a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2009. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a dishwasher, forklift driver, small business manager, and completed an internship with the United Nations. I have lived and worked overseas and across the United States, collaborating with people from many different backgrounds. Like many, I have faced cancer and other significant life challenges. I went back to college later in life because I wanted to help young people and their families build better futures. I chose a holistic approach because I believe in working with the whole person — mind, body, feelings, relationships, history, and spirit. I spent 15 years supporting youth experiencing significant emotional and behavioral challenges and their families. I also worked with adults in community settings. For the last 13 years, my primary work has been with incarcerated adults. These experiences have taught me about shame, redemption, resilience, and dignity. I have witnessed people at their lowest points and seen their remarkable capacity to change, heal, and rebuild. All of this has convinced me that people are always more than the labels they carry or the worst things they have experienced. I believe every person is worthy of being heard and treated with dignity and respect — and that change, growth, and transformation are possible for everyone.

Welcome! I believe that hard times create strong people. I offer an inclusive, safe, and nonjudgmental space to transform struggle into clarity, resilience, and empowered action. I provide therapy for adults navigating ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Stress as well as a variety other conditions. I offer a space that is considerate and respectful, but also open and receptive, where you can speak and be heard, and where missing the mark is only another chance to understand each other. If you are searching for something more— more clarity, grounding, or a way to arrange the fragments—and you are willing to be vulnerable, to be known, this is your invitation.

Hi, I'm glad you are here. My name is Alicia and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Southern California and working telehealth statewide.

Having a hard time getting through the day? Struggling to cope in areas that others make look "Easy"? I have years of personal, professional and social experience in helping people who feel this way. As a clinician I focus on mindfulness and internal growth. My mission is to reach as many people as possible who may be suffering in silence and/or don't feel heard. I hope that through strong professional support my clients can make and achieve their goals. My desire is to assist those who work with me in living their best emotionally healthy lives.

Hi, I'm Laurie. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing while feeling supported, challenged when appropriate, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I understand that everyone's story is unique, so I tailor therapy to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I integrate evidence-based techniques with practical tools that clients can use in their daily lives. Life has taught me that resilience doesn't mean never struggling—it means learning how to move through difficult seasons with support and self-compassion. I bring that perspective into my work by meeting clients where they are and helping them build on their strengths. Whether you're seeking relief from stress, greater confidence, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm committed to helping you reach your goals in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Hi, I'm Henry Tran, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy since 2016. For the past seven years, I've worked in a hospital setting, supporting adults through depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, personality disorders, and stress. I've worked with clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults, each bringing their own unique needs and life experiences. This has shaped my ability to adapt and meet people where they are, while grounding my work in a culturally responsive and inclusive lens that honors each client's background and identity. My style is solution-focused and client-centered, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and empowered to grow.

I specialize in relationship issues, supporting individuals, couples and families. Attachment injuries and loss can affect how we feel about ourselves and limit our engagement with others. I can help you identify and let go of emotional reactivity and defensiveness. I offer Somatic therapy, EMDR, and IFS to support people struggling with post-traumatic stress. Processing trauma in this way helps release emotional charge stored in the body and overcome past experiences that hold us back from living life fully. If you feel that you are stuck in a loop, this work can help you let go and move on. Being Daoist, I value living authentically, inner peace, and aligning with nature.
