Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I have been in the field for 8 years working with teens, young adults and adults in their mid-life. I help clients struggling with anxiety, stress, life changes and transitions, and depression/loss. Together we will find solutions, understanding, and growth so that you can become the best version of yourself. I help individuals move from stuck to empowered through structured, evidence-based care. Whether developing strategic objectives for mood regulation, guiding you through life challenges, or building better relationships with yourself and/or others - I approach every aspect of my work with intention and empathy. I believe in healing that’s both human and structured — where science meets soul.

Hi! I’m Heidi! I know how hard it is to spill your guts to a stranger, and I don’t take that lightly. Feeling safe and comfortable is the most important part of therapy, and I strive to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to help. I take a down-to-earth, real-world approach to therapy because I’ve survived my own struggles, and I know what it’s like to fight for healing. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies with holistic and mindfulness-based techniques to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship challenges, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your emotions and create lasting change. I have worked in inpatient facilities specializing in substance abuse, mental health, and trauma, providing intensive support to individuals in crisis. In my private practice, I have worked with both survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, as well as high-profile individuals in Hollywood who require a high level of discretion and specialized care. My experience in these settings has deepened my understanding of complex trauma, addiction, and the unique stressors that come with high-pressure environments.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) originally from just outside of New York City and currently live in San Diego. Working to support the mental health of others is truly my greatest honor. We are often programmed by our previous experiences, culture, and past trauma to believe a false narrative about ourselves. Utilizing the therapeutic alliance, I help clients to resolve negative, false, or limiting beliefs that may be hindering their ability to step into their true identities. We do not have to continue to live out the script that we inherited or feel the need to live in the shadows. Instead, we can live with intension, purpose, and a sense of gratitude.

Serious Mental Illness
Hello, my name is David Fallon and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been licensed for about 20 years. I've worked with all kinds of individuals. I started by working with kids with behavior issues. Mostly I have worked with serious mental illness on the streets serving unhoused individuals. And I have worked with people seeking help in a one on one therapy situation. The first session will be for us to get to know each other and see if this is a good fit. I will be asking a lot of questions. Feel free to ask me any questions that come up as well. I will tell you a little bit about how I work. In the early stages, I basically follow your lead. You tell me what you want to work on, and I ask questions to understand the problem. Together we figure out ways of dealing with these problems. Sometimes it takes more than one or two or even a dozen tries to find the right things that work for you. This process is a journey, and I am here to help guide you through it. I can make recommendations, but it is up to you what you want to do and what works for you. Sometimes difficult thoughts are feelings will come up. Do not be afraid to express them when they do as the more genuine and honest you are, the more I will understand what you are dealing with. That being said, always take things at your own pace. Never feel rushed or forced to say anything you are not ready to say.

Greetings! My name is Kristine, License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I am located in the Sacramento region. I received my degree in 2016 from San Jose State University and have held positions within corporations, government systems, and nonprofits which led me to private practice in 2020. I have had the privilege to support children, adolescents, young adults, general adult community, and elders throughout my career and find fulfillment with this diversity. I provide therapy with a person-centered approach and tailored guidance to address emotional, behavioral, and relational issues. My areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety, coaching, depression, domestic violence, family conflict, grief and loss, relationship issues, spirituality, substance use, trauma, and issues related to life transitions. I'm experienced with the complexities of acute mental illness, navigation through the mental health system, criminal justice system specifically for victims of crime, first-hand knowledge of being a parent, grandparent, and receiving therapy myself to sort through life's challenges. During our work together, you'll gain valuable insight into yourself and the factors which may have hindered your personal growth. My approach is rooted in empathy and I aim to reduce problematic symptoms and improve clients' self-esteem, insight, and overall quality of life.
