Hi there. My name is Alexis Morris and my preferred name is Lexi. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California, my primary goal is to provide compassionate and effective therapy to individuals seeking support and guidance. With a foundation in evidence-based practices, I specialize in helping clients navigate through life's challenges and achieve their personal goals. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs and preferences of each client. My approach is collaborative, focusing on building a trusting therapeutic relationship that fosters openness and growth. I believe in the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Through exploration and self-discovery, my aim is to empower clients to cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. As a counselor committed to ethical standards and ongoing professional development, I strive to stay informed about the latest research and best practices in the field. My dedication to the well-being of my clients is reflected in my advocacy for their mental health and personal growth throughout the therapeutic process.

Kelli Lundin is a trauma informed yoga teacher, writer, Land protector, and mother of 4. Trained by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur in the Compassionate Inquiry process, Kelli's intention as a psychotherapist is to bring awareness to all facets of ourselves. When we witness these parts with compassion, we become whole, liberated, and restored to our True Nature. As we become more present and connected with ourselves, there is safety and space for authentic expression through our body, psyche, life, and community. Kelli specializes in Complex Trauma; "a psychic wound that hardens you psychologically and then interferes with your ability to grow and develop. It pains you and now you're acting out of pain. It induces fear and now you're acting out of fear. Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you." This is often revealed through symptoms of depression, anxiety, and addiction. Our emotions are not tangential to our health. They are a signaling intelligence that can alert us to all sorts of phenomenon in our experience.

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.

My personal journey and the transformative power of therapy inspire my passion for helping others.

Whether navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, body image concerns, or relationship trauma, I meet each client with empathy, dedication, and a commitment to their growth. Integrating a humanistic and existential lens, I tailor therapy to celebrate each client's unique path. This holistic approach fosters self-discovery, builds self-compassion, and helps clients break free from perfectionism, shame, and self-doubt.

Hello, my name is Derek Nunn and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. My approach to our collaboration is a solution-focused therapeutic approach revolving around you being the expert with your desired outcomes and my use of specific questions to help identify and amplify strengths, skills, and resources moving you in the direction of your preferred future. Each session is driven by you as we will address your best hopes for each conversation to encourage a respectful collaboration between the two of us. We will also explore increasing psychological flexibility utilizing skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have worked with diverse populations in varying settings and programs such as schools, community mental health programs, crisis intervention team programs, and outpatient settings providing individual and group services to clients ages 8-75 both face-to-face and on telehealth platforms. Currently, I have availability to work with individuals ages 18 and older through telehealth only. After working in the fire service for 14 years and recognizing the need to bridge the gap between public safety and mental health services, I transitioned into the mental health field in 2014 and discovered passion for helping people of various ages and health needs. Therapeutically, I have gravitated towards solution-focused therapy blended with acceptance and commitment therapeutic work, mainly because of the drive I have to maintain hope for others, engrained in me from my fire service career. If you are looking for court mandated counseling, seeking letters for emotional support animals, work disability, custody, or other court related services, I do not provide those services, and refer individuals to other providers having those services as their specialties. I am looking forward to working with you to build solutions towards your preferred future.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of California. I have 14 years of experience in various settings and enjoy helping individuals in the beginning stages of their healing, specifically those dealing with stress, depression and anxiety as a result of life's challenges. I approach all clients and client situations with respect, compassion, sensitivity and in a non-judgmental and accepting manner. I am direct but still warm and empowering. I believe in moving at the client's pace as this is their journey and my responsibility is to provide support and guidance. Many of my clients have said that they feel heard and respected throughout the time they have worked with me. My goal for all clients is to empower them to be an active participant in their healing. I go at my client's pace but also am able to push when needed in order to effect change. I believe everyone's therapy journey is different and so I ensure to tailor treatment plans to the individual to best match their needs, strengths and abilities.

I offer integrative therapy that helps people reconnect with their authentic selves by blending somatic therapy, relational approaches, expressive arts (movement, dance, music), and elements of cognitive and spiritual healing. I guide clients through moment-by-moment change processes, supporting them in speaking their truth, healing past wounds, and building more ease, balance, and love within themselves. My work treats the whole person — emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually — and invites creativity and embodied expression into the therapeutic journey.

Hi there, I’m Monica! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my practice. I commend you for your courage to seek counseling and investing time in yourself! Life can be challenging at times. Are you feeling stuck, like you're not living life to the fullest because of fear, worry, sadness, or insecurity? I empower clients to take control of their thoughts and learn healthy coping skills so that they may live peacefully and confidently. I provide an integrative approach focusing on physical, spiritual, and mental health so clients may become the best versions of themselves. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Over the years , I have worked with many people of all ages, faiths, and from all cultural backgrounds. Interestingly enough, what I have found is that many people often struggle with feelings of low self-worth, hurt, ongoing worry, poor sleep, racing thoughts, self-doubt, and difficulty with healthy boundary setting. I enjoy providing effective evidence-based treatment for clients and creating a culturally sensitive therapeutic relationship so they may achieve their treatment goals. My areas of special interest focus on women’s issues including life transitions, personal development, anxiety, low self-esteem, and decreased motivation. I believe in treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while building a strong trustworthy connection. I look forward to meeting you and helping you be your best self!

I hope to be able to bring what I've learned to my work with clients. Not as an expert or someone with all the answers but as a coach or guide. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Throughout my professional career, I spent 10 successful years working in the banking industry and another 10 years in pharmaceutical sales, exceeding in various sales and managerial positions. However, I was constantly drawn to psychology and eager to study the relationship between conscious and unconscious phenomena and the role of feelings and thoughts. Therefore, I was keen to make a career change to becoming a psychotherapist. To pursue my goal, I enrolled in a master's degree program in psychology, which required a significant time commitment. I often spent long hours in the evenings and on weekends reading textbooks, writing papers, and preparing for exams. Balancing my studies with my full-time job was challenging, but I was determined to succeed.
