Therapists in California

Greetings! I am Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Indiana with over 15 years of experience. I have masters degrees in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Educational Psychology from Ball State University. I help adults and executives develop resilience through life adversities and help them regain greater insights about how they can move forward with more authenticity and purpose.

Hi, I'm Alex, and I'm really glad you're here. I primarily work with young adults and transition-aged adults, helping them navigate anxiety, perfectionism, relationships, and the ways past experiences can shape identity. In a world that can often feel rushed, critical, or overwhelming, therapy can be a place to slow down and feel genuinely cared for. I strive to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and deeply human - one where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself away, or hold it all together. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California with over seven years of experience. I bring warmth, presence, and genuine care into my work, and I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel deeply supported and accepted. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we build on your existing strengths and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.

If you're struggling with stressors, attempting to heal from past traumas, facing anxiety in certain areas of life, or are feeling down I can help you navigate these difficulties. I specialize in anxiety and trauma as well as female and maternal mental health. I have a very person centered approach; meaning that I try to understand fully what brings you in and where you are coming from. Once we have a solid foundation of understanding I assist in evaluating beliefs and processes that keep people stuck, I provide practical skills for relief, and break down barriers to creating and maintaining new habits. I know it can feel overwhelming as you decide who to trust with these needs, your comfort, safety and needs are my main concern. I'll meet you where you are to build a trusting relationship with you and once that is in place you will have a solid foundation for then trusting the process.

I'm a licensed therapist who is passionate about supporting adults heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, as well as self-esteem and relationship challenges. I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies' Community Mental Health program, and have years of experience working with children and families impacted by systemic issues, trauma, and chronic stress. My experiences navigating cultures and identities, and my ongoing work with multicultural individuals and families, have given me an understanding of cultural humility that informs how I relate to each person's unique perspective. With a client-centered, compassionate, and culturally-responsive lens, my work weaves psychodynamics and attachment theory, as well as mindfulness and somatic awareness to help encourage insight, self-compassion, and a stronger, more flexible center within oneself.

Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, but it can also be a powerful step toward meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am licensed in New York, Virginia, California, and Washington, and am approved by the Virginia Board to provide clinical supervision. I have worked in schools, foster care, public mental health, substance use treatment, and private practice, which gives me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life transitions shape our emotional well-being. I specialize in trauma-informed care and support clients navigating anxiety, mood disorders, complex trauma, relational challenges, and identity development, including gender and sexuality exploration. As a PhD student at the International Institute for Clinical Sexology, specializing in Advanced Gender Therapy, I provide affirming and thoughtful care. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Together, we focus not only on reducing distress but on building resilience, clarity, healthier relationships, and greater self-trust. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Hello there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of California and Washington. I graduated from UCLA with a masters in social work in 1995 and with a BA in Psychology from UCLA in 1992. I have more than 25 years of experience as a licensed mental health therapist and have worked in administrative and clinical supervision in community mental health clinics, administrative and clinical supervision in the county jail system supervising a team of 25 staff including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychiatric nurses, social workers, and Marriage and Family therapists and psychiatric Technicians. I also worked in county government as a program manager. I supervised a county drug and alcohol community program and worked to assure county program compliance. I have many years of direct practice and supervision of interns and clinicians seeking licensure in a variety of settings. I have worked with adults, children and families from diverse backgrounds. I have successfully helped clients with a range of problems including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, and addictions. I have done a lot of individual counseling, marriage and family counseling, and group counseling. I also worked with Hospice clients, crisis intervention and was a crisis team member for many years evaluating clients for danger to self, danger to others and grave disability. I am happily married and have two successful adult children and three grandchildren. I was born and raised California. I have lived in Western Washington for the past six years as part of a semi-retirement.

I believe that the answers are here within us, and real change is possible when we have real support and guidance. As a therapist, I approach my work with radical acceptance and deep respect for the unique and ingenious resilience that each person possesses. Accompanied by a compassionate witness and supporter, often we can go to places in ourselves that we would not be able to access on our own. Through collaborative processes of self-exploration and compassionate self-awareness, clients are able to heal past wounds, move toward what they care about, and experience more connectedness, fulfillment, wellbeing, and joy.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps clients reconnect with themselves through a body-based, mindfulness-centered approach to healing. Many of the people I work with carry the effects of trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, or painful life experiences that still feel present in their bodies and minds. I work from a mindfulness-based practice of “being with what is,” while helping clients use their bodies as allies in the healing process. Through a collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach, I support clients in moving out of survival mode and into greater safety, clarity, and emotional freedom. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth feel possible.

Not Your Typical Therapist If you’re looking for a therapist who just nods, takes notes, and speaks in clinical language that doesn’t apply to your real life...I’m probably not the one. If you want a space where you can talk about the REAL stuff- relationships, betrayal, trauma, parenting, stress, identity shifts, rebuilding your life- and get honest insight and practical solutions, you’re in the right place.

With over a decade in the mental health field across multiple settings and populations, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding into the room. My approach is grounded, human, and solution-focused. We can go deep, we can be honest, and we can work toward real change. Clients come to me because they want a therapist who feels like a trusted, grounded professional- not someone hiding behind a clipboard.
