Monte Nido, CA - Accepting clients in CA

As a child I was always very sensitive and curious about the world that surrounded me. It came natural to help people and I knew that I wanted to give back to the world at large. Just like you I suffered from some childhood wounds. My parents did the best they could with the tools they had. But due to their struggles I became a very codependent child wanting to save and fix my parents to simply gain the love I desired. Later on I would be able to understand this cycle and name some of the patterns I lived out. People pleasing, losing myself in toxic relationships and not fully loving that little girl inside of me. Once I became a LMFT and gained the knowledge and tools necessary I was not only able to break my own patterns, I was also able to help others find joy and deep meaning in their lives. Ultimately I specialize in helping people understand their patterns and be more effective communicators in their world. My role has been a guide and coach for my clients, providing innovative approaches based on Gestalt Method, Ancient Forgiveness Techniques, Psychodynamic Therapy, NLP and Hypnosis. I use these techniques to help my clients break patterns, many of which are fear based as a result of early childhood trauma that causes emotional issues in the present. This is deep and powerful work, and is necessary to enable a positive path to desired future. I look forward to working with you and guiding you on the path to healing and freedom.

Greetings, Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference. I work with anyone struggling to find joy, peace, and fulfillment. I offer a safe, inviting space for you to share thoughts and feelings, to vent, to feel heard, and to reorient to meaning. Please allow me to assist you finding relief and clarity. I will meet you where you are at and welcome you. I address healing on multiple levels of the body-mind connection with a focus on the notion that caring about something or someone along with experiencing meaning can counterbalance the effects of hurt, a disturbing past, or a present stressful situation or transition. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate major change and transition, gain closure, and create new beginnings. I apply interventions from a mind-body-being perspective and assess current life stressors to distinguish between situational mood and thought disturbances from those enduring and a consequence of previous hurt or trauma.

I’m passionate about bridging neuroscience and psychotherapy to support long-term, transformative outcomes. Whether I’m working with a child struggling in school, a teen exploring their identity, or an adult processing a new diagnosis, I strive to meet each client with empathy, humility, and clinical excellence. I work with individuals navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, eating disorders, and serious mental health challenges.

Seattle, CA - Accepting clients in CA

I’m Steven Frank. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), licensed in California and living in Seattle, Washington. The way the law works is that if I have a California license, I can live outside of California, but can only work with California residents. For that reason, all my work is perforyemed online through telehealth. I see primarily adults and seniors in my practice and while I work mostly withindividuals, I will also see couples when needed. I’ve been licensed since 1983 but actually began to “grow” a private practice beginning in 1990. While most of my experience has been with clients dealing with depression and anxiety, over the last 4-5 years I’ve been more focused on the treatment for symptoms of trauma and abuse. I’ve been trained in EMDR (a specific treatment for trauma), and will use that method as needed, when appropriate, and with your understanding of the process, and consent. By the way, my first job experience (before beginning my schooling for the MFT license), was in the California State Hospital system as a psychiatric technician. I was a member of a hospital inpatient treatment team that treated people with severe mental disorders. This was excellent training for working with clients who are seeking help, but on an outpatient basis.

I want to help you solve the problems in your life. To do that, we need to determine what those problems are and we need to establish a rapport where trust, positive regard and hope are foundational. I am successful in my life only because of the support I have received both personally and professionally. I consider my work a continuation of the support I have been gifted.

San Francisco, CA - Accepting clients in CA

I’m Jake Sims, a licensed psychotherapist based in California. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, or a general sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Many of my clients are navigating major life transitions or grappling with questions around identity, purpose, or belonging. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, relational work, AEDP, and contemplative traditions like mindfulness and Buddhist psychology. What that means in practice is that I aim to help you explore both the roots of your pain and the parts of you that long for healing, connection, and growth. I believe therapy works best when it’s not just about solving a problem, but about creating a space where you can be more fully yourself. We’ll pay attention to patterns in your life and relationships, explore emotions you may have learned to push aside, and work together to loosen the grip of old wounds or outdated beliefs. I also try to show up in the room as a real person—someone who’s curious, present, and engaged. Ultimately, therapy with me is about helping you feel more alive, more connected to others, and more in touch with your own inner resources. If that resonates with you, I’d be honored to work together.

Hello and Welcome! Hola y Bienvenido! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish). In life, many of us experience a series of events either positive or negative. Such events impact us the way we respond to life circumstances, the way we view ourselves, and the world around us. I want to help you overcome the trauma and help you regain back your strength and power. Through our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to heal from your past and/or current stressors that are affecting you. We will work towards identifying triggers, self-insight work, self-awareness, acquiring healthy coping skills, and decreasing symptoms. I specialized in working with tweens/adolescents, adults, and older adults from all different backgrounds, many of whom have experienced various traumas in their lives. Whatever your needs may be or reasons for seeking therapy, I am here for you.
