Oceanside, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and moved to the San Diego area at the age of three. I am fortunate to be fully fluent in English and Spanish. Living in a bicultural home and in a very multicultural environment, I have been privileged to be part of the border culture, a subculture in itself.
My own personal and professional experiences have allowed me the opportunity to understand the importance of cultural, socio-economic, gender, and racial-related issues. I can empathize, if not relate to them all.
My hope and commitment to my clients, are to guide them through their journey towards self-awareness and wellbeing. My goal is to provide them with the necessary tools (I think therapy is a safe place where the clients build their toolbox) to help them manage current and future life challenges.
I would be honored to participate in your journey of self-awareness, well-being, and overall emotional health.

Hey, I'm Olivia!
Are you ready to laugh, cry and create a connection with someone who is not going to give you cookie-cutter responses? Then keep reading.
I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to throw it all out on the table, be met with compassion and validation and begin to piece together what they want to keep and what they want to toss. Many times in our lives, we put on certain identities and expectations that may not be ours but we keep them on out of comfort, fear, habit, you name it.
I am here to help you sift through the pieces of you that you know but also become curious about the parts of yourself that you do not know. During that process, you can begin to find power in your choices and practice the art of being able to decide for yourself who it is you want to be.
The stories you have come to believe about yourself are worth exploring and together, we can build a relationship where I will challenge those beliefs with you and assist you in building confidence to shift into your most authentic and understood self.

Whether you are struggling with sadness, finding the energy to do things in life, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, trauma, unhealthy coping, or even masking your emotions; you are capable and you can heal. I truly believe that most people will do well when they know how to do well. It's hard to ask for help and it's hard to accept the help. We just get stuck in the quick fix, easiest option, or the least emotionally draining route. My style towards therapy is direct, relational, and authentic. I won't sugar coat things or tell you what you "want" to hear, and I hope the same from you. This is about you and for you.

When we experience severe trauma or life stressors, our lives can start to collapse into a day-to-day struggle. Our normal coping mechanisms and our support systems can start to fail or no longer be enough to help pull us through the difficult time. The truth is, we cannot change our life experiences, but we can search to find solutions to help us overcome depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship difficulties. We can grow and become aware of our own strengths as we face our struggles. Sometimes we need that extra help to aid us in regaining life balance in our journey of self-discovery.
As a licensed family therapist with eight years of experience, I am passionate about helping adults navigate & explore complex challenges in order to work towards positive changes that are solution based.

Huntington Beach, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I’m Erin and as an Integrative Psychotherapist, I focus on helping you to achieve balance in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Are you struggling with feeling sad, down, and/or anxious? Have you suffered trauma and/or abuse? Do you feel ashamed and/or guilty? Do you struggle with liking/loving yourself? Do you feel unworthy? Do you compare yourself to others and view yourself as less than and/or behind? Are you finding it difficult to keep up with all the responsibilities and challenges of life? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone, I understand, and I am here for you to create a safe space wherein you can express yourself and be truly heard as well as seen.
I specialize in toxic shame, Type 2 Diabetes, and autoimmune-related health conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Psoriasis.
I wholeheartedly believe in you and your capacity to work through your struggles and create a life of joy and passion.

Hi there, I'm Maddie!
Do you worry all the time? Want to feel more confident and empowered?
If you need someone to talk to, I’m here to help.
I bring a warm and relational approach to my work. With training in mental health, mindfulness, and yoga, my counseling style is rooted in a holistic-based approach.
I also have training in issues surrounding anxiety, self esteem, grief, relationships, career, depression, personal development, and LGBTQ+ topics.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors (License #80432) and an LPCC in the State of California (License #15087). My counseling practice is supported by a Masters of Educational Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and hundreds of hours of continued education in psychotherapy.
I’m here to encourage you to become the person you would like to be.
***Online counseling is NOT recommended for persons who:
- are currently dependent on drugs or alcohol or have a recent history of substance abuse.
- are suicidal, homicidal, or experiencing suicidal or homicidal ideation.
- are in crisis. (*If you are in need of crisis services, please contact 911, call the National Suicide Hotline at 988, or go to your local emergency room for immediate help.*)
If you meet any of the criteria listed above, online counseling will not offer an adequate level of support to meet your needs at this time. I would recommend face-to-face sessions which may offer the level of contact and engagement that would be most beneficial to you.***

Hi, I'm Kory van Unen, LCSW. I am a licensed clinical social worker and I earned my master's degree in social welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I work with adults in individual therapy to support treatment goals in areas such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and self-esteem. My goal is to guide clients on a journey toward deeper self-awareness, resilience, and a more fulfilling life. As a clinician, I provide comprehensive psychotherapy services tailored to a client's unique needs. This includes a thorough assessment, diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and individualized therapy. I draw on an array of therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed therapy, and solution-focused therapy, among others. Modalities are chosen to align with treatment goals and empower clients toward lasting change.
