Therapists in California

I have been in practice for 15 years. I do my best to meet new clients where they’re at and allow them to identify what they want to work on. I try my best to be kind, but direct. I value clients time and understand it’s often difficult to begin the therapy process. I allow clients to set the and honor the therapeutic process. Life is hard! And I’m here to help

I specialize in treating LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kinky folx, navigating everything from trauma to depression and anxiety, often intersecting with questions of identity and relationships. I value walking with clients as they understand more about who they are and how they relate to the world around them. Together, we’ll create a grounded and supportive space to explore identity related to gender, sexuality, race, and neurodiversity, uncover patterns that may no longer serve you, and move toward a life that feels more aligned, connected, and whole. Whether this is your first time exploring therapy or you're looking for a new perspective, I’m glad you’re here!

Is the weight of anxiety leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed? Are you dealing with grief/loss and need the space to process those feelings in order feel comfortable and safe in your current season of life. Or maybe you are feeling trapped and finding it difficult to balance all of the demands of motherhood? You are not alone. As a wife and mom of two, I understand the demands that a mother feels when she is trying to juggle home life, career or being a SAHM all while trying to maintain one’s own self-identity. Whether you’re working through postpartum depression/anxiety or just wanting a relatable, professional to help you process some stuff out loud. I am here. I will walk with you and help you cope with the visible and invisible load of motherhood.

Pleased to meet you! I provide individual telehealth therapy to adult clients within the state of California.

Carrying our pain without addressing it may not only make life less satisfying, but it can take a toll on other aspects of our health. Mental health IS health, and therapy can be medicinal for untangling the mind and heart. I applaud you with taking the first step in exploring seeking therapy!

Thank you for stopping by! A little about myself. I am a mother, Nana, and dog mom to 2 Jack Russel's. (They haven't eaten the couch yet :) I grew up in foster care and was adopted in my teens.

Hi, I am a License Marriage Family Therapist. I offer 11 years of professional clinical experience. I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology Counseling with a concentration on Community Mental Health from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I provide services to individuals, couples, families, adolescents, transition age youth, young adults, LGBTQ+, non-traditional families, Individual with disabilities, and aging adults. I bring an array of lived and professional clinical experiences. I have extensive training and experience providing clinical services to diverse populations. I've provided services to communities from different cultural backgrounds, served and underserved as well as individuals from various socio-economic backgrounds.

It never ceases to amaze me just how often I have to try to convince others that they are worthy SIMPLY because they exist. This includes you! I want to know who communicated to you that you are not enough and why you value the opinion of said person(s); these types of harmful beliefs are learned, not innate. Let's unlearn them together. Most of my early clinical work has been with children and adolescents with focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, trauma and various behavioral and emotional issues. I have worked in high-intensity and high-crisis environments from school to hospital settings. I am passionate about working with and creating a safe space for folks who belong to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I understand that belonging to a marginalized/oppressed group can result in barriers to achieving and maintaining optimal mental health. I am a cis/het woman doing my best to provide care that is equitable and gender-affirming. I'm always learning and growing as an ally; you will always be safe here. I am also always looking at things through a trauma-informed lens. I'm a busy working parent who understands how hard it can be to do it all. I am currently pursuing a certification in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders to be able to better support soon-to-be and new parents; this particular journey is no joke!

Is this the first time you thinking about having therapy? Let's talk about what therapy is and is not. Tell me your expectations. Therapy is in part, talking about how you are feeling whether you have depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by your work, family or relationships or by all three . But that is just the beginning. My name is Judith Copeland, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I want to help you achieve the positive changes would you like to see in your life. Do you feel you cannot cope, have no self-esteem or don’t even know what will make you happy? Together we will uncover your strengths and you will learn the skills you need to better manage your emotions. I use several treatment methods including, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Integrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor your care to your specific needs. We will explore what is holding you back from achieving your goals and help you heal from past traumas. You will learn how your negative beliefs influence your mood and get in the way of your happiness. Often, we forget that everything is connected. Mind, Body, and Spirit. We need to take care of ourselves physically, psychologically, and spiritually. We often don’t really understand how deeply connected they are to our well-being. I will help you learn that self-care is just as important and or even more important as everything else you do. We have within ourselves the ability to create the life we want and become the person we want to be. I would like to support you on this journey and look forward to meeting you.
