Are you experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, or parenting challenges? With over 18 years of experience in evidence-based therapies, I am confident in my ability to customize my approach to meet your individual needs and support your healing journey. As a mental health professional, I strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable discussing concerns such as anxiety, depression, women's issues, past trauma, or emotional exhaustion. My aim is to assist clients in establishing healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, which can significantly enhance their overall well-being. I also have extensive experience working with children who face emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges, understanding that their treatment needs differ from adults due to developmental differences. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to your child's age and specific situation. These methods can help your child develop coping skills, enhance social interactions, and better manage their emotions. Depending on your child's age and needs, I may work directly with you or other caregivers to enhance parenting skills or address particular behaviors. Counseling can foster personal growth and improve various aspects of your life. If you're ready to start your journey toward better well-being, I am here to support you every step of the way. **Hablo Español**

I approach our first session with wanting to know what prompted you to book the session. This is because people usually book a therapy session with an issue in mind, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that if you are motivated to change your mindset and ready to work on yourself, that you will be able to feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on. We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- find it on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble, "The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness." I offer you my podcast- "All Things Therapy," which can be found on iTunes and Spotify. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 425 episodes related to mental health, fitness, and personal transformation for you to dig into. I intend that the show augments therapy and gives you a resource to look for topics you are facing in the show titles and then listen and apply what is offered and see how that changes things for you.

I am Sharlisa Byrd, LMFT (CA & OR), SEP, TITC-CT, CCHt, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in California and Oregon. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Certified Clinical Traumatologist. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palo Alto University and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Flash Technique. My work focuses on helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress, with a deep understanding of how these experiences become held within the body and nervous system. I use a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach that integrates somatic and mind-body techniques to support emotional regulation, resilience, and lasting healing. I have experience supporting individuals navigating concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, parenting challenges, attachment issues, complex relationship dynamics, life transitions for adolescents and young adults, domestic violence recovery, sexual abuse recovery, psychosis, and African American identity concerns. In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as an Adjunct Professor at the University of San Francisco, where I teach multiple graduate-level counseling courses. I have also trained in several trauma-resolution approaches that inform my work with clients, students, and colleagues. My clinical philosophy centers on a bottom-up approach to healing, recognizing that trauma often lives in the body and that healing involves restoring safety, awareness, and balance within the nervous system. I often describe my role as a manufacturer of hope and healing, supporting individuals as they move beyond survival and toward becoming post-traumatic thrivers. On a personal note, I am the mother of six daughters and a grandmother to three and a half granddaughters, experiences that have deepened my understanding of relationships, attachment, and what many refer to as Mother Hunger.

Hello, my name is Megan. I appreciate you taking the leap to want to do something different in your life. I know how hard talking about some of these big life issues can be like the death of our person, living through the struggle of infertility and acknowledging the weight of our anxiety is too much. Sometimes, we are stuck in our loop and yet, we do not have the perspective how to shift the big feelings to make you start to feel better. In the beginning of working together, I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story. Everyone arrives wanting a witness to their grieving at different stages of their process. Your relationship is to different each person had a different relationship to their person. I believe the importance of listening to what is said in the room or what is not said. Many times we are not able to verbalize our pain of trying to live without our person. I think a very necessary part to our healing is to be witnessed by another. My goal is to always create safety in the room. I am a fairly transparent therapist sharing sometimes my personal journey to connect and help clients realize they are not alone in their pain. I look forward to joining you in your healing journey.

Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or a major life transitions. I work with adults who want a supportive space to sort through what’s going on in their lives and learn practical tools to feel more steady and confident. So many of us appear to have "everything together" on the outside but privately struggle with constant overthinking, intrusive and racing thoughts, pressure to be "perfect" , and high-functioning anxiety. My approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with a person-centered style, meaning we focus on both real-life strategies and creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and heard.

So many of us go through life out of sync with what we truly want and who we are. We say yes when we mean no, avoid rocking the boat, and keep things simple for others—even when it comes at the cost of our own integrity. Over time, we become disconnected, not just from others but from ourselves. Hi, my name is Sienna, and I know this struggle well. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a Masters in Counseling, passionate about helping people cultivate deeper, more authentic relationships—with their partners, their communities, and themselves. Through my own journey, education, and professional practice, I have witnessed the ways in which we try to keep ourselves safe by throwing up walls and defenses. Healing isn’t about shutting these parts of ourselves down; it’s about meeting them with curiosity and learning how to move through the world in a way that feels whole, embodied, and aligned.

Hi, I'm Danielle. I work with founders and leaders (either in organizations or entrepreneurship) navigating the emotional weight of building and leading: burnout, identity shifts, and the pressure of always being "on." With 14 years in operations, leadership development, and my own entrepreneurial journey, I understand this terrain personally, not just clinically. My ideal clients are founders and organizational leaders who are high-functioning, self-aware, and carrying more than they let on. What brings them in is usually burnout, anxiety, relationship strain, or the quiet realization that success on paper doesn't mean they're okay. I help them move forward by understanding the patterns underneath the pressure, rebuilding a relationship with rest and identity, and learning to lead from a more honest, sustainable place. There's a reason people say building a business or leading others teaches you more about yourself than therapy ever will. I'd agree. It's one of the most profound and disorienting journeys a person can take. That's exactly why it helps to talk to someone who genuinely gets it. I’m also a mom of 3. Who I Work With -Founders navigating the shift from builder to leader -Leaders in organizations carrying high-stakes responsibility -High-achievers who are doing well by every external measure and know something still needs to change

I am a licensed bilingual psychologist (Khmer and English) with a passion for helping people explore themselves deeply, understand their relationships, and grow into their fullest potential. My approach blends humanistic, insight-oriented, and experiential therapies, including talk therapy, drama therapy, play, and expressive arts. I create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, reflect, and explore who they truly are. I work with immigrants, BIPOC individuals, and anyone navigating identity, transition, cultural stress, or existential anxiety as well as people seeking deeper self-understanding and meaningful growth. Many of my clients come looking for ways to process difficult experiences, explore relationships creatively, or develop resilience in the face of challenges. I work with people with various backgrounds ranging from college students to mental health worker themselves. My approach is deeply shaped by my own experiences growing up in Cambodia. As my parents taught me and my siblings: “It is not the world of survival of the fittest, but the world where you always need to be a little kinder than necessary.” Like many Cambodian families, ours lived through the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge, facing loss, suffering, and hardship. Yet my parents always found ways to give, even when resources were scarce. Their example of kindness and generosity became a core teaching in my life, and it now guides my work as a therapist. Practicing kindness, compassion ,deep listening, presence, cultural humility, and sensitivity is central to how I support clients. I believe most of us are doing the best we can, and when we cannot see that in ourselves or others, life becomes more difficult. Therapy becomes a place where people can engage with themselves fully, let go of self-judgment, and cultivate self-compassion.
