Therapy happens in a space we build together to nurture your growth--a space for new understanding, new experiences and healing.
What brings us together? With therapy, it starts when you decide you want support because of how you are feeling, changes you want to make, circumstances you face, problems in relationships or losses you grieve. Maybe you are feeling sad, anxious, distracted or stuck. Maybe old coping patterns are causing new problems. Maybe you are burned out from work, care-giving, activism or oppression. Maybe you need more support.
I have over twenty years experience helping people cope with with stress, trauma, grief, panic, anxiety, depression, relationships, neurodivergence and TBI. I work with evidence-based trauma recovery interventions (including narrative therapy and EMDR for processing and CBT/DBT for coping), Radical Therapy (internalized oppression and power in relationships) and Contemplative Psychotherapy (mindfulness and self compassion). As a cis gender, white woman, I work intentionally to be mindful of my privilege so we can create a safe space for your therapy.
Let’s talk.

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.

I am Geraldine Pirdy, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, License Number 160644.

I lean quite heavily on the creative process and it’s reliance on others.
Trauma can hurt long after the painful events are over. It creeps into our relationships and makes it hard to love and trust others. Often, even more painfully, it makes it hard to love and trust ourselves. Often we try to ignore it, avoid it, try to forget it, but the hurt and memories always seem to come back. Maybe you find it hard to trust others, unsure if they are safe. Maybe you notice you are a "people pleaser", worried about making others happy but not happy yourself. If people in your life have hurt you, I want you to know that you are not alone, and healing is possible.
As a trauma therapist, I will help you connect how the story of your past echoes into your present. I will support you in identifying the hangups that get you stuck and help you to get a foothold in your life. As you heal from your past and harmful coping, I will support you with taking control of your life and moving towards the goals you've hoped for.
I have the best job in the world. It's an incredible experience to connect to people, many whom have never been able to safely share about themselves, and help them feel heard, validated, and supported. Starting therapy can be nerve-wracking, but if you are interested, or even curious, I'd be happy to work with you.

"Let go of who you think you're supposed to be; embrace who you are." Brene Brown

Hello and welcome! I’m glad you are here.
A little bit about myself, I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years, and it has been a meaningful journey. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services, with a focus on Mental Health. I gained an understanding of the importance of accessible and compassionate care.
As I gained experience, I developed an interest in family systems and decided to further my education by pursing a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and children, providing both individual therapy and group facilitation.
In 2020, I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Through this journey, I have had experiences that allowed me to better understand the broader systems that impact people’s lives and to focus on finding collaborative, strength-based solutions that support real, lasting change.
I like to approach our sessions with a structure agenda and allow for the client to take ownership of the sessions. I like to assign homework assignments to reinforce concepts discussed during the session. I also use check in all through out the session to assess how the client is responding to the treatment strategies. In addition, I like to motivate client by helping them break down their overall goals into small and attainable objectives.
My name is Nikki, I’m a therapist with seven years of experience, specializing in helping clients address anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using EMDR and a personalized approach, I guide clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and building resilience for a more empowered, fulfilling life.
Together, we can navigate life's obstacles, build resilience, and rediscover your inner strength. Taking that first step toward healing is an act of courage, and I’m here to provide the empathy and support you need 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.
When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. 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.

I enjoy meeting and working with diverse individuals and have gained experience working with young adults.
Hi, I'm Eliana.
I received my M.S. in Counseling at California State University, Los Angeles. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014.
I began my professional career working in both outpatient and school-based services with children, adolescence, and parents. For the last 5 years I have been working with adults (18+) through telehealth. I have been able to demonstrate true compassion, dedication to clients’ well-being, and outstanding work ethic. I am also bilingual in Spanish and have been able to offer services to a diverse population.
I am an empathetic, strengths-based, client-centered therapist who values meeting people where they are and working collaboratively at a pace that feels supportive and manageable. I have experience working with adults, children, couples, and families addressing concerns such as anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties.
My therapeutic style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I focus on helping clients increase self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves. I draw from an integrative approach including CBT/cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT/dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and IFS/internal family systems-informed work to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I believe meaningful change happens within a safe, respectful, and trusting therapeutic relationship. I value creating a space where clients feel supported in exploring both immediate concerns and deeper emotional patterns, while also developing practical tools they can apply in everyday life.
Maple Moriji was born on December 29, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan, an only child of a Japanese father and Danish mother. Instead of enrolling at a Japanese school, he attended a private international school called the American School in Japan (ASIJ). At ASIJ, he befriended other third culture children of different nationalities from across the globe.
In 1989, he graduated from ASIJ and moved to Washington, DC where he enrolled at George Washington University. He received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 1994 after which he began his career in information technology. He eventually relocated to Los Angeles in 1998 and subsequently became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2004.
After having worked in the corporate world for over 13 years, he was prompted by his lifelong interest in human psychology to become a Marriage and Family Therapist and enrolled at Antioch University in 2009. Over the years, he explored the subject extensively, attended a conference for Victims Of Incest Can Emerge Survivors (VOICES) in Action, and studied depth psychology at C.G. Jung Club of Orange County.
Starting in October 2010, he began seeing clients regularly for psychotherapy at inpatient and outpatient facilities including The Center in Long Beach, Tarzana Treatment Centers, Solid Landings Behavioral Health, Hope by the Sea, Personal Involvement Center, Oceanfront Recovery and BLVD Treatment Centers. In private practice, he has been treating clients using a number of different approaches including EMDR since November 2012.
In December 2011, he received a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. His calling is to specialize in treating clients who have struggled with issues related to cultural diversity and who have suffered from trauma while growing up (such as childhood sexual abuse). As of March 2017, he has been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I take an empathetic approach to therapy while also respectfully challenging negative thought patterns. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, depression, & bipolar disorder.

Hi. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I have years of experience working with clients in a psychiatric hospital setting as well as substance abuse outpatient treatment facility. I have worked with children, teens, and adults. I have worked with individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, adjusting to new environments/life changes, and those working on their sobriety.
I’m a clinician committed to helping individuals and families learn how to achieve identified goals from a person centered approach, working collaboratively with the client to ensure they feel supported while working on reducing the negative symptoms and behaviors that may be standing in their way of success. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs, while utilizing strength based interventions to assist clients with identifying their greatest potential and normalizing the feelings of isolation and loneliness that may be holding them back. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals in a safe environment build on trust and confidentiality.
I have a twenty-eight year background in community mental health. In that time I have worked with people from many different cultures, with wide array of psychosocial stressors and mental health challenges. Over the past eighteen years I have developed unique programing that has brought people together and looked at stories that may otherwise go untold. I have created a twenty-hour training that I offer annually online that helps teach providers how to work witih hard to reach people.
I have run a part-time private practice over the last six years and use trauma modalities like IFS and EMDR and other theories or movements that I have learned over time that further accentuate my work.
I run Unscripted Therapy, a practice focused on helping people break out of stuck patters.
I work with individuals who are tired of having the same conversations and somehow ending up right back where they started. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, something isn’t working—and at this point, that’s pretty clear.
My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on actually changing what’s not working. I’m not going to just sit there nodding while you vent and then ask how that made you feel for the tenth time. We’ll figure out what’s keeping you stuck and start doing something different about it.
Therapy with me is honest, practical, and yes—sometimes a little blunt. But it’s also real. If you’re looking for something that actually helps you move forward (not just talk about why you’re stuck), we’ll probably be a good fit.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating a range of life situations and transitions.

Drawing from community defined, and evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to develop resilience, self-love, and meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs and strengths.

I spent my early childhood in Jamaica before settling in Southern California. My experiences moving between cultures helped shape my appreciation for the many ways people make sense of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside, and my Master's in Social Work from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, where I specialized in Health and Mental Health Across the Life Span.
I have extensive experience working with people of color and LGBTQ+ clients who have struggled to find spaces where they feel safe, understood, and accepted. I also enjoy working with creative and artistic individuals who are looking to overcome self-doubt, navigate creative blocks, and reconnect with their creative potential.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and insight-oriented. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape your life while building a deeper understanding of all parts of yourself, including the parts that may feel difficult to accept.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy singing karaoke and immersing myself in stories of all kinds, whether through books, television, film, or video games.

Hello, my name is Nicole Hervey and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Northern California. I have been practicing the craft of therapy for the past 6 years serving a variety of people with different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences with moderate to severe mental health disorders in multiple community settings. I have experience working with children, adolescents, transitional-age youth, families, and adults.

My name is Tiffany Libby, and I have 15+ years of experience, primarily focusing on helping women recover and cope with Narcissistic Abuse. Whether the abuse has happened in the past or is ongoing, is with your family or romantic partner, or anyone in between, I am here to help you navigate this unique and complex issue. I work with women from all cultural backgrounds to help them understand, process, and cope with the various traumas they have experienced. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent people in a way that speaks their language and helps make therapy effective for them.
I am a 74-year old cisgender white woman who grew up in the midwest. I've entered the field of marriage and family therapy after many other careers. I was drawn to this work through my own personal work with therapists I loved and admired. For me, the process is the very "meat" of life. Seeking to release old stuck patterns, seeking to understand, seeking to become all that we can be! We are born to be connected to others, yet we are taught in many cultures to be fierce individuals. We are born into a gender with expectations for what that means from ourselves and others--and our physical gender may not even match our inner experience! It's no wonder that we struggle to find our way through our biographies.
Before becoming a therapist I worked for 25 years as a Waldorf educator. I worked with all ages--Kindergarten through high school. This is a developmental education and an artistic one. I am always informed by our developmental tasks through life, well into our final years. I also enjoy stepping into creative, imaginative when clients are open to it, even if just to think about a problem in a new way.
My imagination serves me when I am with someone. I have experienced a great deal of trauma and loss, but my experience is never the same as yours. With your help I can step into your experience through my capacity to imagine.

Feel free to express yourself how you like and be open about how you feel. Let's begin this journey and make some progress together.
