I am a psychologist and offer services via telehealth for individuals.
Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together, we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they may be telling you, how you learned from these problems, ways they can be negotiated, and times when they are not present. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. As we explore the problems, you will find fresh perspectives and build alternative ways of responding that enable you to build better relationships and handle problems with increased flexibility.
I am an interactive therapist working with you to develop and experience more confidence, focus, and motivation to meet life’s changing demands. I help people who are doing ok on the outside figure out, and understand, why they might feel so overwhelmed on the inside. You can gain insight and clarity and increase your ability to navigate life transitions, anxiety, fear, depression, and/or traumatic experiences that have impacted your quality of life.

It is not always easy to reach out for help, but you are on the right path. Things will get better as we approach your struggles and goals together. I have any easy going straight forward approach to therapy as I work to meet each client’s unique needs.
I have been a therapist for over 30 years and have worked with clients on a myriad of issues including anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, perinatal loss and other women’s issues.

Hi there, I'm Andrea.
Have you been feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Have changes or new challenges in your life evoked feelings or thought streams difficult to manage? Does it feel harder to know how to communicate what you need or feel supported by someone in your life? My goal in working with you is to develop trust and connection; to team with you so that we can identify what is not working and build skills so that you can feel more satisfied in your life.
I have over 20 years experience working with adults, couples, adolescents and families.
My approach is collaborative and individualized to meet your specific needs for support.
I believe that improving the way we connect with each other and care for ourselves will support effective communication that leads to more supportive relationships.
Together, we will utilize your strengths and practice new ways to manage stress, emotional difficulties, and the challenges life can bring. I have decades of experience helping clients with anxiety, mood issues, trauma, relationship problems and major life changes.
I am straightforward and I want you to feel empowered and confident to enact the changes you seek. I want you to feel that the therapy process can be productive and helpful. You are not alone!
I help people overcome issues that might prevent them from leading healthy, fulfilled lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Client Focused therapy as well.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Northern California for 20+ years. I believe everyone has inner wisdom that is often difficult to access when we have dealt with trauma, fear, shaming and abuse. My goal is to help clients access the parts of themselves that they feel disconnected from or would like to develop further. I believe very strongly that healing and change are possible at any age! I like to teach skills that help with finding the strong parts of each person, that may have been suppressed or cut off, due to life circumstances.
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.

Welcome to my profile. My name is Kawanna Gritney and i’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in helping individuals and couples heal the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. My individual therapy work focuses on healing past trauma using Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR)—a powerful, research-supported method that transforms long-standing pain at its root rather than simply managing symptoms. Clients often choose this treatment when they’re ready to drastically reduce/eliminate symptoms, attain deeper healing, gain relief from persistent triggers, and develop a renewed sense of self. This service is usually fully covered by insurance, making trauma treatment both accessible and sustainable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also specialize in marriage and couples counseling for partners who want to strengthen their connection, repair trust, communicate more effectively, manage conflict or prepare for a healthy future together before marriage. I use the Gottman Method, one of the most respected and proven approaches for improving relationship dynamics. My work with couples focuses on the relationship system—the patterns between you—rather than diagnosing one partner or treating pathology. Because this service is relational rather than medical, insurance does not cover the type of couples/marriage counseling I provide. If you and your partner are interested in receiving couples/marriage counseling you can schedule your 55 min assessment sessions (3 assessment sessions in total) on the GROW platform for $170/assessment session. Once you enter the treatment phase of your couples/marriage counseling, treatment sessions are 90 mins and $260/session.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For couples preparing for marriage, I offer a 4-hour virtual premarital counseling course grounded in decades of research on what makes relationships last. This course helps couples build essential skills—communication, conflict management, emotional connection, shared meaning, and teamwork—to create a strong foundation for a long-lasting marriage. Consultations are scheduled on the GROW platform for $170. The entire program is $497.

Hi, I’m Jami Kulkin.
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 31 years of experience helping people heal, grow, and feel more at home in their lives. I offer a warm, collaborative, and holistic approach to therapy—one that honors your whole self: mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Clients often come to me when they’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply the sense that something isn’t working anymore. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, grounding space where you can explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and discover new ways of showing up for yourself and your life.
My work draws from a wide range of tools, including cognitive and behavioral strategies, mindfulness, EMDR, hypnotherapy, somatic practices, and spiritual insight. I also bring a Doctorate in Naturopathy and training in fitness, meditation, and sexuality—which gives me a broader lens to support healing from the inside out.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every client is different, and I meet you wherever you are—with compassion, curiosity, and care. Whether you want structure and goals, meaningful exploration, mind-body practices, or simply a space to be heard without judgment, we’ll work together to find what truly supports your growth.
If you’re ready to make meaningful changes and approach life with more clarity and confidence, I’m here to support that process with deep experience and a grounded sense of intuition.

Hello! I am a bilingual Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in California. Se habla espanol. I received my Masters from Brandman university! I have been practicing for 5 years. I have experience working for children and adolescents as well with adults who have struggle with anxiety and/or depression. I am passionate about meeting my client where they are at and assisting them in their process of healing increasing ability to face life in a different way.
I am an LCSW from CA. I am a rarity, as I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have lived all over southern California. I have also traveled throughout the state and known how the state is unique.
I have experience working with the military, Veterans, and their families. I also have experience working with families and children of all ages. I have experienced working with mental health, chronic pain and cancer.
This therapist only treats low to moderate clients.
If you need therapy for court, I may not be a good fit for you. I will not be providing session notes to the court on your behalf. Also depending on what the nature of court is/why you need treatment, may not go beyond the initial assessment/first visit. If I do not feel comfortable with the reason, nature of court or any of anything along those lines; I will not be moving forward. I feel that I need to be direct with this as I have already provided previously "if you are seeking services for court; I would NOT be able to help with that. Please find another provider." Yet I am still receiving these referrals; therefore I am being direct about this and what expectations are.
My journey to mental healthcare
I did a lot of volunteer work and held a few AmeriCorps positions (America's version of PeaceCorps). I fell in love with helping people and I was told in order to achieve this, I would need to go back to school and complete my MSW.
I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental disorders. I help them further develop their mindfulness, assertive communication skills, and capacity for love & respect for themselves, and, consequently, the rest of the world. I don't merely believe in therapy, I know first-hand the beneficial power it can provide. Before seeking mental health services for myself, I not only suffered from low self-esteem, I also experienced severe panic attacks. I am, and forever will be, grateful each and every day that those symptoms now only exist in my past. These are just a few of the reasons why mental health is by far my greatest passion in life.
