I am a bilingual (Spanish & English) marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 14 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; and a native Spanish speaker. I adhere to the First Nations (Maya and Nahuatl) and Yoruba paradigm of health and wellness. I integrate these paradigms within the framework of Liberation Psychology; and evidenced-based techniques and interventions to empower clients on their healing journey. I understand how forced displacement, systemic & institutionalized oppression, discrimination, and the multitude of microagressions historically marginalized communities endure lead to the re-enactment of the violence caused by colonialism. Affirmation about cultural and ethnic identity is generally lacking at the present moment resulting in many communities experiencing traumatic, and humiliating experiences related to their ethnic pride and culture.
Hi, I’m Leah Yeshnik, LMFT.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is honest, direct, and grounded in presence. I listen deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and bring compassion, respect, consistency, humor, and accountability into the therapeutic space. My work is especially attuned to the emotional and relational experiences of women.
I incorporate a range of modalities to meet different learning styles and needs, including expressive arts, journaling, self-reflection, skill building, and somatic practices
I'm a CA Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns. I bring both deep clinical experience and a very human understanding of how hard it can be to ask for help.
My approach is collaborative, honest, and practical. I use evidence-based modalities such as DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and systems-based work, always tailored to your goals and lived experience. Therapy with me is about gaining insight, building skills, and creating real, sustainable change.
Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling more grounded, more confident in their choices, and better equipped to handle emotions and relationships with clarity and self-trust. My goal is to help you feel less overwhelmed, more connected, and more aligned with the life you want to build.
I work with high functioning individuals experiencing burnout, anxiety, and a lack of professional/personal balance.
I approach therapy collaboratively and from a relational perspective. Simply put, I meet people where they are and from there, we work together to discover solutions that work by utilizing evidence-based tools from a variety of approaches (CBT, ACT, EMDR, polyvagal theory).
My personal style is compassionate, grounded in authentic connection, and infused with warmth and humor.
Hello and welcome. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your courage to take the first step in selecting a therapist. The thought of sharing intimate thoughts, struggles and personal experiences can be overwhelming and frightening. I hope to assist you in feeling confident that you have come to the right place to express your needs and work on feeling better. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) from California. I have over 12 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges.
I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For about seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background.
My first experience using telehealth was during the pandemic. With the increase of mental health needs, I discovered the importance of being able to provide services through the telehealth platform. It inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past experiences, or life stressors that makes it difficult to feel calm, confident and fully present in their lives. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression and challenges that can leave people feeling stuck, discouraged, and disconnected. Relationships might feel overly painful, or seem to start out great, but inevitably end with disappointment. People might feel they can't trust themselves, which can lead to hopelessness, despair and even depression. Some may have things sorted pretty well, but there's that one area that seems to poison the well and whatever you try, it just won't change.
Whatever it might be, my approach is compassionate, collaborative, empowering and practical. I integrate trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness and Somatic/body-based approaches to help my clients better understand their emotions, cope better and create meaningful change. I have helped people in community mental health, acute crisis and in private practice. Most recently, I worked on a DBT Team, helping people learn to heal from trauma, narcissistic and other abuse, and the characterological issues that can follow, and finally to restructure and rebuild their lives. I also welcome conversations about meaning, purpose and the spiritual dimensions of healing when that is important to the client.
Hello,
Life comes at us fast, and hardships, relationship problems, and even significant trauma can throw us off track. Seeking out therapy is a major step in self-awareness and empowerment, and just getting to this point is something to be proud of.
However, a relationship with a therapist is just like any other relationship. Compatibility, understanding, and communication are key, so choosing a therapist who is right for you is important. Learn more about me, my therapy expertise, and how working with me can provide you with the tools to make the positive changes you’re looking for below. I look forward to hearing from you!
I’m Chisara Okehi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting women and children through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stress. My work is grounded in trauma informed, evidence based care that prioritizes emotional safety and trust. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that honors client-led sessions to support your wellbeing journey with humility. I seek to support clients in identifying a desired outcome and explore how to build upon their strengths and examples of success to address their emotional, social and psychological wellbeing. I am passionate about working with youth and their caregivers to provide early intervention during the formative years of development to support the youngest in our community and help them flourish. I believe in the impact of recognizing positive feelings and functioning in life, in addition to character strengths and behaviors that help build a meaningful and purposeful life. I recognize the importance of cultural and community strengths to demonstrate how our social environment can benefit our mental health outcomes.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes that healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. I don’t come to this work believing that life is easy or that growth happens without struggle—I’ve been through hard times myself, and those experiences shape the way I show up for my clients: with empathy, humility, and respect for how tough life can be.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practices to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills for everyday life. I work at your pace, honoring your story and your strengths, not just your symptoms.
I work with individuals, teens, and families experiencing emotional distress related to eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, suicidal thoughts, relationship challenges, and family disturbances. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, I aim to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and find steadier ground.
Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your resilience, learn new ways to cope, and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and aligned with who you are. You don’t have to do this alone—I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
Hi, I’m Justin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience supporting adults with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and relationship stress. My approach is compassionate, structured, and grounded in evidence-based treatment, including EMDR, CBT, and DBT-informed skills. I believe therapy should feel both safe and effective—where you feel deeply understood while also gaining tools that lead to meaningful change. I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where healing feels possible.
I specialize in relationship conflicts, feeling constantly overwhelmed (nervous system in fight or flight mode), difficulty with regulating emotions/or expressing emotions, navigating major life challenges, struggling with triggers and guilt, break up/divorce, getting stuck in the thought spirals, or just feeling anxious and depressed by life. When your nervous system is constantly stressed, you spend all of your energy managing or worrying about everyone else's moods or trying to keep your head above water, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. My style is down to earth, engaged, and collaborative (vs just listening and validating you). I will provide you a safe space to share your story, and help you identify the patterns that keep you stuck, as I believe that is vital for your growth. Together, we can learn new tools that actually work so that you can reclaim your sense of peace. I try to balance warmth and validation with honest feedback and the "why" this happening (the neuroscience behind it, if it helps you). I believe that therapy is most effective when it honors your heritage, values, and lived experience. I welcome all cultural backgrounds and am LGBTQ affirming.
I am an LCSW licensed in California and Hawaii. I provide inclusive and culturally guided processing therapy as a specialist in high or recurrent symptoms that were not changed by talk therapy. As an EMDR therapist my work centers on helping heal from the impacts of trauma while honoring the cultural, historical and relational contexts in which trauma exists. Many wounds are not only personal but also intergenerational, systemic and shaped by oppression, displacement and historical harm. Healing from anxiety and depression, putting everyone before you, is not about fixing people its about helping them reclaim the parts of themselves that trauma took away. I support clients in processing painful experiences while also reconneccting to their resilience. I enjoy working with kids, teens, parents and people who are motivated to participate in evidence based trauma therapy. I pride myself in providing an easy going safe environment where I hold a lot of respect for clients and their stories.
Greetings, my name is Caine and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. My passion and commitment is helping people share and process their past and current journey in life. With over 7 years of experience in diverse settings, I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma using a variety of approaches in guiding towards healing. In our space together you will be met with compassion and inquiry.
I truly look forward to working with you!
Linehan Board-Certified DBT Specialist | Holistic Wellness Advocate
Clinical Expertise & Background
With 25 years of clinical experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s complexities with balance and resilience. I am a Linehan Board-Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT), a credential that reflects my deep commitment to providing the highest standard of evidence-based care.
My academic foundation began at St. Louis University (MO), where I earned both my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and my Master of Social Work. This rigorous training, combined with decades of practice, allows me to offer a space that is as clinically sound as it is compassionate and nonjudgmental.
My Approach
I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy for adolescents and adults (ages 16+). My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your unique journey. I specialize in integrating DBT strategies to help you overcome barriers and build a life that feels truly worth living.
A Holistic Perspective
I believe that mental health is inextricably linked to physical well-being. When I’m not in the clinician’s chair, I’m likely moving. I am certified in spinning/cycling and have a deep passion for power walking, latin dance, yoga, and Pilates. This personal commitment to the mind-body connection informs my therapeutic perspective—I understand the discipline and rhythm required to foster lasting change.
The "Co-Therapist"
Healing often comes in small, furry packages. I have a 6-year-old toy Yorkie who frequently joins me. While he isn’t a registered service dog, he is an expert in providing comfort and a calming presence. He is available to join our sessions upon request (and rest assured, he is excellent at maintaining client confidentiality).
Languages & Inclusion:
My native language is English and I am proficient in Farsi. I warmly welcome Farsi-speaking clients to my practice.
Hi, I’m Cassandra! I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I’ve had exciting opportunities to work in a variety of therapeutic settings including an inpatient psychiatric hospital treating a higher level of acuity, intensive outpatient program supporting teens and young adults, a residential facility working with incarcerated youth, and an outpatient program at a University counseling center.
I specialize in trauma, depression and anxiety. I have worked in many therapeutic settings, with individuals experiencing moderate to severe symptoms of trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety. I enjoy working with individuals that are motivated to engage in deep self-reflection, seeking understanding of past experiences and their impact on current struggles and committed to healing and growth, showing a readiness to work through difficult emotions and patterns in order to create lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles, and my Master’s degree in Social Work with a focus on Adult Mental Health and Wellness from the University of Southern California. I have experience working with clients ages 5 to 65 from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, with specialties in domestic violence, grief, and trauma. I provide a warm, empowering, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences. Using a blend of CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused therapy, I help clients build practical coping skills, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Welcome, I'm glad you are here today. I'm first generation Mexican American of immigrant parents and I bring professional sensitivity to immigration issue. I'm licensed clinical social worker offering therapy in both English and Spanish. I graduated with a master's degree in social worker from California State University, Long Beach. I've been a clinical social worker for the past 8 years and trained in cognitive behavioral therapy. I started my career in mental health community clinic working with adults of severe mental health disorder. I have worked with underserved community, including students, parents, immigrant families, and incarcerated population. I am most comfortable working with mild to moderate client experiencing depression and anxiety.
You are emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted! You recognize there is a problem, but don't know how to solve it. You are caught in the cycle of overwhelm. If you continue down this road all you will find is powerlessness and hopelessness. You don't have to stay trapped. My focus is to empower you to take back your life & become the best version of yourself.
We are all faced with challenges. These challenges can create limitations that interfere with gaining a sense of self, forming healthy relationships, and pursuing our goals. I believe we should not allow these obstacles to dictate how we respond to the environment around us. Learning healthy coping skills, challenging negative self talk, and setting effective boundaries can facilitate desired outcomes in our daily life. Given the opportunity, I would enjoy working with you right where you are. Let’s get to work!
I am a compassionate therapist trained in trauma-informed care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, develop insight and build practical skills to navigate life's challenges. My approach focuses on helping individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors while fostering healing, resilience and meaningful change.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic mindfulness to help you explore what’s happening in both your mind and body when stress, triggers, or difficult emotions arise. This approach can be especially helpful if you’ve tried therapy before but still feel stuck in the same emotional or relational patterns.
Rather than trying to simply push through symptoms, we work with the wisdom of your mind–body system to understand where these patterns come from. Many of the reactions that show up today—whether emotional activation, mood dysregulation, or relational challenges—developed as ways your system learned to protect you.
Together, we gently explore these patterns and begin to unburden the wounds, memories, nervous system responses, or beliefs that may still be shaping your experience. Over time, many people begin to feel less reactive, more regulated, and more connected to their authentic selves.
Hello, my name is Veronica. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing compassionate support and professional guidance to individuals. With a strong commitment to mental health and well-being, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges and work toward positive change.
As a licensed social worker, I am extensively trained in a variety of evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. Additionally, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients dealing with depression and anxiety, ensuring that my therapeutic interventions are both effective and adaptable to individual needs.
I am passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those I serve. My goal is to help clients navigate life's challenges, foster personal growth, and promote well-being through compassionate and ethical social work practice.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of professional experience. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and a wide range of adult mental health concerns. I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and experiences of abuse, as well as challenges related to self-esteem, motivation, and self-worth.
I support clients who are coping with major life transitions, caregiver stress, illness, disability, workplace challenges, and communication difficulties in relationships. I also help individuals work through feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife concerns, forgiveness, self-love, and women’s issues.
Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I help clients better understand their emotional patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience. My approach is compassionate and individualized, and I strive to create a supportive space where adults can heal, grow, and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Holistic-Mindfulness. Supporting your therapeutic journey, brain-based & embodied reprocessing. Trauma-Wound-Growth. Hello and a warm welcome to you, I'm Karre, she/her. Over 20 years ago, through my massage therapy practice, I discovered the healing that is possible for both myself and my clients. Inspired by the many years of personal narratives, shared with me during bodywork sessions, I continued my journey into mental health. Healing of the whole person and overall well-being is central to my clinical practice.
I love my work, helping you to discover, recover, and embrace your strengths and true self is a privilege. I invest daily in my skill set and bring into my work an incredibly strong desire to provide the best possible approaches.
Those closest to me know me as an ardent mom, wife, and nana. I'm a traveler, and an arts-inspired social equality-loving creator.
I’ve been working with individuals for nearly 20 years, and if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this: none of us are meant to do this alone.
Sitting one-on-one with someone as they untangle their story is work I don’t take lightly. It’s an honor. Over the years, I’ve supported people through burnout, transitions, grief, relationship shifts, identity questions, and those quieter seasons where you just know something needs to change, even if you can’t name it yet.
I also have advanced training in trauma and ADHD, which means I understand how deeply our nervous systems, past experiences, and unique wiring shape the way we move through the world. Whether you’re navigating the impact of trauma or trying to make sense of an ADHD brain in a world that doesn’t always accommodate it, we’ll approach your work with both compassion and practical insight.
Individual therapy is powerful. There is something sacred about having a space that is entirely yours — where you don’t have to perform, hold it together, or take care of anyone else. I also believe people need people and that is why I lead women's groups and retreats as well.
At the heart of my work is the belief that we’re all just trying to get home — home to ourselves. Home to steadiness, clarity, belonging, and alignment. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with that place inside you that already knows the way.
Chang "Raphael" Liu possesses over six years of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex mental health challenges. He employs a holistic, trauma-informed approach, recognizing the profound impact past experiences have on present well-being. Raphael specializes in helping clients effectively manage symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Furthermore, he has extensive expertise in addressing the unique developmental struggles faced by adolescents, offering targeted strategies for identity formation, peer pressure, and navigating familial transitions. His practice is focused on empowering clients toward sustainable healing and self-discovery.
I’m someone who believes that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationships where we feel safe enough to be real. As a therapist, I show up with warmth, honesty, and deep respect for your story. I’m especially drawn to working with people who’ve had to hold it all together for others, often at the expense of themselves. If you grew up feeling unseen, like you had to shrink yourself to stay safe or lovable, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing it that way.
In our work together, I’ll meet you with curiosity and compassion. I’m here to help you understand where your patterns come from, reconnect with the parts of yourself that got buried, and figure out what healing actually looks like for you. There’s no pressure to be perfect—just space to be honest, explore what matters, and feel a little more free.
Hello, I'm Sheena.
Do you feel like life is always throwing you for a loop? Are you struggling to keep your head above water? Are we losing sight of who we are as a person?
I help individuals, families, and couples manage the demands and challenges that life brings. Together, we will identify the causes of your challenges and develop solutions to empower yourself to find life balance. You should have a safe space to openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. Treatment should not be cookie-cutter but individualized to your needs, which is focused on in our sessions. Change is a scary concept in our lives, but it is easier when you have someone with you along the journey. I'll meet you with empathy, compassion, honesty, and evidence-based techniques to allow you to work toward the goals you want for yourself. Let's go on this journey together!
My name is Carol Kosta. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I hold a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch Los Angeles and I am a certified EMDR practitioner.

I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients recover from trauma and other life distressing experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression and panic disorders. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Solution focused and other strength based approaches.

I am a Bilingual Marriage, Child and Family therapist with 12 years of experience. I help individuals and families work through difficult challenges and guide them through a healing journey in which they set the destination. I enjoy and pride myself in working with individuals and families of various backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are complex and strive to reach their full potential.
Welcome to my profile. I appreciate the chance to help.
My name is Angela. I am a psychotherapist with a Psy.D. ABD in Clinical Psychology: Marriage and Family Therapy. We all feel out of balance from time to time. Uncertainty, unexpected disappointments, life transitions and personal traumas can have a real impact on how we feel and experience the world. It can be difficult to navigate on our own. Together, we can figure it out.
I have expertise in providing mental health services to individuals both neurotypical and neurodivergent. I have used my skills and competencies in various settings including school-based/educationally-related services and residential treatment settings. I have provided clinical mental health services to K-12 students with Individualized Education Plans (IEP) as well as general education. I have worked with individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, personality and psychotic disorders. I utilize various therapy techniques to assist in healthier living. I will help you counter problematic behavior with healthy alternatives to enhance mental, emotional and physical wellness. I hope to inspire your curiosity and courage to develop a strong sense of self-acceptance, and healing and to promote self-esteem, autonomy and agency.
"Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills capacities and views about life." ~ Carl Rogers, Humanistic Psychologist.
I have been privileged being a therapist for over 40 years. I have worked as a probation officer, child protection worker and directer of various treatment programs. I have also been in therapy which gives me a perspective of the the value of therapy as both a client and therapist. I enjoy working with folks in the recovery community, first responders and those who had traumatic childhoods. I respect the courage it takes to ask for help. I treat your courage with honor and dignity.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma, burnout, and moral injury. With nearly a decade of crisis intervention experience and advanced training in Brainspotting, somatic modalities, and depth psychology, I work with first responders, healthcare providers, therapists, activists, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are ready to stop just managing and start actually healing.
A lot of my clients come in high-functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. They've been the ones others lean on. They've made hard calls, held hard things, and kept moving because stopping wasn't an option. What brought them to therapy isn't weakness, it's the accumulated weight of doing hard work in a world that doesn't always make space for the cost of it.
My work is to help people who've carried a lot make sense of what that's actually cost them, and reclaim who they are beyond their role, and that looks different for everyone. For some, it's processing specific events or experiences, and for others, it's untangling an identity that got fused with a job title, a caretaking role, or a set of values that the world kept violating. Whatever the shape of it, we work at a pace that respects both the urgency you feel and the time real healing actually takes.

Like a player who sees their team struggling, no matter what it is you are facing, I'm confidently yelling, "Put me in!" because I love what I do and I am damn good at it. The therapeutic work we do together will not necessarily be easy, but it will be effective and along the journey we will form a genuine bond, laugh together, and get you the relief you seek.
Feeling stuck and ready to take the next step in your life? You’re not alone. I support clients who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and long-standing unresolved challenges by helping them explore their experiences with curiosity, compassion, and safety. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, trust your inner voice. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll identify goals that matter most to you whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, addressing unresolved challenges, or figuring out what’s next when you’re ready for change but unsure where to begin. I primarily integrate evidence-based therapeutic methods, with EMDR as the central approach guiding the treatment process
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I’ve worked in hospice, school settings, and private practice over the past several years. I help individuals who are feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed reconnect with themselves and build confidence from the inside out. Clients appreciate my grounded yet flexible approach—I guide each session while creating space for them to lead, which helps them feel truly seen and supported.
I am Geraldine Pirdy, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have worked with and learned from clients in areas such as justice involvement, substance use issues, and veteran mental health, all of which share the common theme of trauma. I see clients in the context of their relationships and always explore how their challenges have affected them.
Robin Hall, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the state of California and Hawaii. She attained her Master's in Social Work from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, in 2009. Robin's professional journey has led her to work extensively in areas such as sleep challenges, PTSD, anxiety, and trauma, where she uses a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. In her therapy sessions, Robin prioritizes creating a safe, judgment-free environment where people can openly express themselves, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and valued throughout the journey towards healing and growth.
I'm proud of you for seeking support and grateful you're considering working with me. I specialize in helping individuals and families from diverse backgrounds identify ways to improve themselves, their relationships, and their overall experience of life. I look forward to hearing from you so we can start collaborating for your greatness.
Our work together is collaborative. We'll identify measurable goals for our time together. As we work, your goals may shift to include new aspects of your life, which is natural and encouraged. I want to ensure your goals remain meaningful and relevant for you.
I specialize in relationship issues, supporting young adults, couples and families. Attachment injuries and loss can affect how we feel about ourselves and limit our engagement with others. I can help you identify and let go of emotional reactivity and defensiveness. I offer Somatic therapy and EMDR to support people struggling with post-traumatic stress. Processing trauma in this way helps release emotional charge stored in the body to overcome past experiences that hold us back from living life fully. If you feel that you are stuck in a loop, this work can help you let go and move on.
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.
Do you find yourself spending nights awake worrying about things you can't control? Do you feel constantly stressed about the future and overwhelmed by self-doubt? Are you missing out on events or relationships because of your panic or anxiety?
Maybe you're a member of the LBGTQ+ community who feels unsafe in a world of unsettling news or exhausted by trying to conform to society's expectations of you.
Do you find yourself "triggered" and have a difficult time managing anger or rage? Are you always on alert wondering if you'll ever feel peaceful again? You struggle to leave the past where it belongs.
Or maybe you feel trapped in a job or career that you once loved but now takes more than it offers. Does that work stress spill over into your personal life?
If any of these experiences resonate with you, you've arrived at the right place. I'm genuinely delighted you're here.
Are you prepared to start your journey toward feeling connected, self-assured, and empowered? I specialize in helping adults with crushing anxiety, trauma, parenting issues and members of the LGBTQ+ community get their groove back and live the lives they deserve.
Consider me your expert guide and unwavering advocate. Together, we'll pinpoint your goals and use a tailored blend of therapeutic techniques to help you achieve them. I firmly believe that therapy should yield enduring results, not just temporary fixes, so we'll collaborate to bring you closer to the life you envision.
Whether you're addressing past trauma, navigating the complexities of parenthood, or facing any other personal challenges, I am here to provide a safe space to process emotions and offer an alternative perspective.

In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.
My name is Vanessa Labarga and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 10 years in a variety of settings, from working with children and teenagers in foster care, juvenile justice, and school systems, to working with adults on a range of issues from mild to severe mental health concerns. I also work as a mentor and supervisor to associate-level therapists and support and train them in learning therapeutic skills to help their clients. When I'm not working, I can be found spending time in nature, finding new restaurants to enjoy, travelling to new countries, and spending time with my cats and my partner at home.
