Welcome! I'm Ian, and I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges and uncover the strength to create meaningful change. Starting therapy can feel both exciting and intimidating, but my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore concerns like anxiety, depression, and self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication, healthy boundaries, and practical tools to enhance their relationships and overall quality of life. Therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth, and together, we can work toward building the fulfilling life you deserve. I'm here when you're ready to take that step.

Welcome dear. My name is Laura Nelson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The approaches I primarily utilize with adult clients are person-centered and holistic. Many of the afflictions we endure, are perfectly reasonable responses to the experiences, environments, and stresses of our daily lives. I work collaboratively with my clients to learn about their lived experiences and explore what therapeutic modalities might assist in alleviating indicators of mental affliction including depression or anxiety.

I'm Jake, a guy who was always told he was too sensitive growing up and had ever-changing interests because of his ADHD. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in customer service for 14 years, six of those years in medical reception. In that time, I also worked four summers at a camp for kids with special needs. I've met and worked with a lot of different people and I've seen a lot. What I've learned is that everyone has challenges, some more than others, and that we can all use some support sometimes. I bring compassion, a systemic perspective, and my ability to make the scariest stuff feel easier to talk about so that you can get what you need from therapy.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and enjoy being a guide on your journey to find your spark again. I use a humanistic approach to better understand the whole picture of who you are, where you come from, and the life you want to live. Keeping a warm and healing space, let us talk about all the things and nothings because I will listen. You are heard. You are not alone. Everyone has a story, but not everyone has an audience.

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I have received my Graduate and Masters degree from University of Southern California (USC). I support women who want to build their self-esteem, heal from inner child wounds, and past traumas. I help my client's break free from the limitations imposed on them by their own past or the pain of their early experiences. I support my client's towards letting go of dwelling the past and learning to live more fully in the present. My approach centers on compassionate, collaborative healing that honors your unique story. I aim to help you move toward greater resilience, self-acceptance, and empowered living. If you would like to begin this therapeutic journey with me, I would be more than happy to support you in starting this process. Together, we can create a safe, empowering space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my deep empathy, active listening, and a commitment to mindful curiosity. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where your unique story can be truly heard and valued. Rather than simply diagnosing a problem, I listen for the 'hidden' stories of your strengths and values that often get overshadowed. My approach to active listening is about more than just understanding; it’s about standing alongside you to deconstruct the challenges you face and uncover the skills you already possess. Together, we will collaborate to rewrite the narratives that no longer serve you, fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and the reclamation of your personal agency.

We are living in difficult times. You can't seem to get over the anxiety or depression about your everyday life. What's worse, your partner or family member seems to not care at times, making things even harder for you. I understand. Better is possible, and I'm here to help. I have a passion for helping individuals in personal growth. I have been working with adults on relationship issues, anxiety, and depression for over ten years. My specialty is personal empowerment work, as I strongly believe that solid relationships are formed from solid individuals. Currently, I only take new clients for individual counseling.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who thinks everyone should try therapy at some point because therapy makes life easier! I've been an LCSW for over a decade and I've worked in schools, and the court system, and with treatment centers and in private practice. I like people, and ( I know, it's corny) I feel so honored that my clients allow me to be a part of their lives and hear their stories. All of my clients are so brave and willing to work toward the lives they really want, and it never stops being so meaningful to be a part of that process.

My name is Shant Bardakjian and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Glendale, California. I currently work with adults within the greater Los Angeles area. Currently, I work with clients aged 18 to 64. I am a brainspotting Phase 1 trained therapist, who works with trauma, depression, and anxiety. My approach to therapy is tailored to the client’s needs. I enter into therapy with whatever you bring into the session. If you need a creative approach to solve your problems, then I would use an eclectic approach with a person centered lens that can be flexible for whatever need is brought into the room. My communication style is calm and approachable. I would like my clients to feel at ease in sharing whatever is on their heart without fear of judgment. I decided to become a therapist because I have wanted to help people discover their best selves. I have been drawn to helping people discover their innate ability to heal past whatever is keeping them stuck in life. My aim is for whoever works with me to be able to define a goal that can be accomplished and for trust to be gradually built within the therapeutic relationship. In this way, the progress that is seen in therapy will in turn translate to improvements in multiple areas of your life. In our first session together, you can expect the primary focus to be for me to hear your story of what brought you to therapy. The first session is to determine if there is an initial connection and also questions that would enable me to better understand what would work best for you as treatment progresses.

Hi, I’m Kathy Khorramian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is rooted in a solution-focused approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and hypnotherapy-inspired visualization methods. I help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns, navigate life and career challenges, and build lasting habits that support a more balanced and meaningful life. I have worked closely with neurodivergent individuals, including those with Autism, ADHD, and executive functioning challenges. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, and major life transitions such as grief, career changes, and relationship shifts. My goal is to provide practical tools and compassionate guidance while helping you recognize your strengths and gain greater clarity and confidence. I believe therapy is about more than coping; it’s about growth, self-understanding, and creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Using CBT, I help clients identify and reframe thought patterns that contribute to distress, while mindfulness-based strategies support clients in approaching their thoughts and emotions with greater awareness, acceptance, and presence.

I have degrees in Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy. Following college I gained experience to become a licensed therapist at a non-profit setting. In this setting I supported a wide range of populations such as, teens, adults, families and couples. While gaining knowledge about various mental health needs such as anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, I learned that the populations I enjoy helping the most consist of couples and individuals struggling with relational trauma. I enjoy continuously learning about new advances in the mental health field and stay well connected to this information and other therapists within my role as Secretary for the Sacramento Valley California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. I have learned to use Emotionally Focused Therapy, Brainspotting for trauma processing, trauma informed care and other evidence based therapies to help my clients reach their goals during our time together.

Prior to becoming a clinical social worker, I worked with children and families in the Child Welfare Services System for twelve years after graduating from college with my social work degree.

Transparency is so important as well as implementing laughter as a key component to our everyday healing. Together we will connect, laugh, and rebuild the life you once enjoyed. Furthermore, as a Black clinician, I also provide a unique perspective by integrating a strong multicultural framework to fully understand your experiences, relationships and the way you navigate in the world around you.

Life can pull us into a whirlwind—whether through a major life event, trauma, or a quiet inner nudge that something needs to change or be rediscovered. Each of us experiences and responds to these moments in our own unique way. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you and support you through your personal journey of healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Hi there, I’m Douglas. When anxiety, uncertainty, or burnout take over, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of your next step. It doesn’t have to stay that way. I work primarily with gay men and LGBTQ+ adults who appear confident on the outside but feel anxious, scattered, or self-critical underneath. Many are high-achieving professionals navigating ADHD, rumination, identity stress, or relationship challenges while trying to meet strong internal and external expectations. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, and ADHD Clinical Services Provider, I bring both structure and depth to our work. Together, we’ll identify patterns that keep you stuck, regulate emotional reactivity, and build practical systems that support clarity and follow-through.

If you’re ready to feel more centered, confident, and aligned in your life and relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

Hello and welcome! I have been a licensed psychologist in California since 2016. My goal is to help individuals enhance their sense of well being and experience a greater sense of meaning in their lives.

Hello, I'm Sarah. Does it ever feel like your thoughts and emotions have a life of their own? Are you unsure what's "wrong" exactly, but you know this isn't the life you want to live? What about having a gut instinct that you experience this world differently than those around you seem to? I'm a therapist who specializes in working with those who are or may be neurodivergent. Professionally, I currently hold credentials highlighting my ability to work with those who are Autistic and ADHD, although neurodiversity covers far more than those two labels. Personally, I'm AuDHD and have been through the "what the?!" experience of late identification. What I have learned officially I carefully and intentionally integrate into my neurodiversity-affirming practice. I believe we of the neurodivergent community are not "wrong," nor do we need to be "fixed." We live in a world that isn't supportive of how our brains naturally work and as such will experience anxiety, depression, identity confusion, sensory struggles, and many other struggles far more than neurotypicals will. If you choose to work with me, I will do my best to help you learn tools and skills to help manage anxiety, masking, depression, burnout, emotional reactivity, executive function struggles, and various other struggles you may be experiencing. However, a large part of our work together will also be around identifying, accepting, and embracing who you are in order to help you identify and pursue a fulfilling life, whatever that looks like.

My name is Anna Grabarczyk (grah-bar-chick). European-born and raised, I bring over 12 years of clinical experience. My approach is engaging, action-oriented, and solution-focused, while always grounded in compassion and empathy. I value working with people from diverse backgrounds and strive to integrate a broad psychological and cultural perspective into therapy. With deep respect for different belief systems, I also recognize and thoughtfully address the spiritual dimension of emotional healing when it is meaningful to the client. I focus on several approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Solution-Focused therapy Trauma-Informed care Attachment-Based theory EMDR Ericksonian techniques

I am a licensed therapist (LMFT #140975, LPCC #17040), Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Certified Brain Injury Specialist. I believe healing can take place when all parts of the self are welcome to sit at the table. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I help clients understand and work directly with their nervous system, building resilience and a felt sense of safety that supports deeper emotional and relational work. This approach can help people dealing with a variety of things such as relationships, complex trauma, PTSD, ADHD, mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury, life transitions, optimization of strengths, increasing tolerance for ease/presence, chronic stress, self-image concerns, anxiety, depression, pain management, and more. I also bring a deep understanding of brain-based differences, including the impacts of trauma and cognitive diversity on the sense of self and relationships. I approach this with a strengths-based, neuro-affirming lens. Rather than viewing individual differences as deficits or damage, I honor the adaptive intelligence of the brain and the ways it reorganizes in response to experience. My goal is not to “fix" neurodivergence, but to help individuals build self-understanding and make space for changes that are important to them. My work is marked by the integration of mind and body. Therapy with me is not about eliminating parts of you. It is about helping all parts feel heard, understood, and organized in a way that allows you to move forward with greater clarity and an embodied sense of peace.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by stress, trauma, substance-related challenges, or major life transitions. My approach is practical, respectful, and grounded, with a focus on helping you feel understood while building tools that support real, day-to-day change. I bring a steady and structured presence to therapy and offer services in both English and Spanish. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with confidence at a pace that feels right for you.

Are you a woman or man in your 30s or 40s feeling overwhelmed by work, parenting, or life changes? I am a psychotherapist who helps women navigate midlife transitions, manage anxiety, and reclaim confidence and balance. Having personally experienced the challenges of motherhood, demanding career, and divorce, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our work together. I integrate EMDR to process past experiences and reduce emotional distress, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to guide you toward a meaningful life, and values-based strategies to clarify what truly matters to you. I also use the Enneagram as a tool for self-awareness and understanding relational patterns. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies for stress management, self-discovery, and creating the life you truly want—whether that means thriving in your career, strengthening relationships, or finding more peace in your everyday life.

My approach centers on deep listening, empathy, and honoring each client’s lived experience. I intentionally consider cultural, environmental, and systemic influences, ensuring therapy is respectful, collaborative, and client-led. I believe in creating a comfortable space that supports growth while affirming each person’s identity and self-determination. I am especially enthusiastic about returning to a practice setting focused on working with adults, where I can support clients in exploring identity, healing, and growth.

Through connection, empathy and a non-judgmental approach, I offer ways to help you discover what may be blocking you from finding your true path in life. By not seeing an individual for what symptoms they have or what is affecting them, I am more interested in helping you find what is the cause of symptoms and how to process them. I work with adults from all backgrounds. I am also open to any culture, belief, identification or orientation. All are welcome. I base all individual therapy on a client-focused approach and adapt sessions to the needs of each person.

Together, we can explore patterns that feel hard to shift and find practical ways to move forward. I draw from mindfulness, attachment-informed work, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My aim is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s coming up—without judgment.

I also enjoy stories, laughing, listening to stand-up comedy, cooking, playing sports like wallyball and ultimate frisbee on a non-competitive level, watching film noir and psychological thrillers, recently had the opportunity to take my car to a racetrack, and have played bass guitar in a rock band.

As a Doctor of Social Work and a dual-certified clinician in both DBT (Linehan Board) and CBT (Beck Institute), I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s most complex emotional and spiritual challenges. My practice is built on the belief that meaningful change happens when we combine clinical excellence with a clear, values-driven vision for the future. I specialize in supporting parents of children and adolescents who struggle with Emotional Dysregulation and problematic behaviors. I understand the exhaustion and isolation that can come with high-conflict household dynamics. To address this, I developed Family Systems Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (FS-DBT)—a model specifically designed to treat the family as a connected ecosystem, fostering collective growth rather than just individual symptom management. Beyond family dynamics, I provide a safe, structured space for those experiencing faith crises or existential transitions. Whether you are deconstructing long-held beliefs or grappling with a loss of meaning, I help you navigate these "dark nights of the soul" by integrating clinical tools with a deep respect for your personal journey. My goal is to help you rebuild a life that feels authentic and anchored in your core truth. Whether I am working with a couple seeking to repair their bond or a parent striving to de-escalate crisis behaviors, my approach is rooted in "beginning with the end in mind." We will collaborate on a comprehensive, practical plan designed to point you and your family toward your specific goals. I offer specialized individual psychotherapy and real-time phone coaching to ensure skills are applied in the moments they matter most. I am deeply passionate about this work, and I would love the opportunity to support your journey.

Greetings! My name is Crystal, I am a therapist with a passion for my work. I come from a client-centered approach because I believe you, the Client, is the expert on the current experience. My experience has taught me from this central humanistic standpoint, the relevant and helpful interventions are at arm's reach. I believe in educating my clients and partnering with them through their unique experience with therapy. I enjoy living in the Joshua Tree area and exploring the beautiful desert. My new and healthier lifestyle is keeping me busy with exercise and cooking. The combination of the two has made my new life a true second chance!
