Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Bay Area and serving children and adults throughout California via telehealth. I have over 10 years experience working with youth in the education setting and 6 years professional experience as a therapist. I’m excited to work with young women of color and non-binary people of color who are navigating adulthood and working on defining themselves. Maybe you are navigating stressors related to your love life, career, balancing personal and family responsibilities, and feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Together we may uncover underlying trauma or self-limiting beliefs, work on boundaries, explore and better understand your needs. Perhaps this is the first time that you are able to prioritize your mental health, which is a first step in investing and valuing YOU. Let’s go on this journey with the self-compassion and softness you deserve.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan and I am really glad you are here. I’m not your stereotypical “sit and nod” kind of therapist—I like to keep things real, down-to-earth, and maybe even a little fun when it feels right. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of being judged or “too much.” I work with both teens and adults, using a person-centered approach that focuses on you—your story, your strengths, and your pace. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or figuring out life as a neurodivergent person in a world that doesn’t always get it, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s been heavy and find ways to lighten the load. I’m here to help you understand yourself better, build self-trust, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic. Therapy with me is a mix of empathy, honesty, and humor. Some days it’s deep reflection; other days it’s simply finding a moment of calm in the chaos. I believe growth doesn’t have to mean changing who you are—it’s about reconnecting with who you’ve always been. Outside of sessions, I’m usuall spending time at the gym, with my dog that I am training to be my service dog, my latest crochet project, thrifting, mindfulness exercises or in my own therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s approachable, open-minded, and genuinely invested in helping you feel understood, I’d love to meet you.

As a first-generation Filipina-American liberation psychologist licensed in California, Washington, and Hawaii, I bring over 21 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and the lasting effects of intergenerational trauma. My approach combines the best of evidence-based therapy with innovative practices such as psychedelic harm reduction, integration therapy, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Clients often describe me as both warm and direct - someone who creates a safe, non-judgmental space while also helping them move toward real change. Together, we’ll focus on building clarity, resilience, and balance across mind, body, and soul. PLEASE NOTE: I do not work with clients involved in active legal cases, including disability claims or litigation-related documentation, and I do not provide letters for work accommodations, disability, or leave-of-absence requests.

For more than twenty‐five years, I’ve helped adults navigate mid‐life challenges—whether related to depression, anxiety, relationship stress and breakups, or the natural shifts that come with aging. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I will help you create meaningful, lasting change.​ In our work, we may focus on strengthening distress tolerance, improving emotional regulation, enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. You’ll leave sessions with insight, direction, and strategies you can use right away—not just talk. I'm solution‑focused, goal‑oriented, compassionate, and client‑centered. I work collaboratively to identify practical steps forward so we don’t stay stuck in the problem itself. Together, we’ll clarify what’s getting in the way and build tools that help you feel more grounded, capable and aligned with your values.​ By focusing on the skills of distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness, we can begin to feel more in control of our day to day responses to stressors. I provide sessions geared towards formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change. It helps you get "unstuck" and back in control! One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is seeing clients set meaningful, value-driven goals and achieving them. That's why I partner with you to ensure you are empowered to reach your full potential. As you work through life's transitions, I will be there to guide, encourage, and challenge you to push past obstacles and create the life you want.

Welcome! My name is Jennifer, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 19 years of experience. I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I believe that our relationships—both with others and ourselves—are at the core of emotional well-being. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, you’re not alone. Therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s also a powerful one. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can gain clarity, build insight, and develop practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.

As an American Family Therapist, I work from a systemic perspective, focusing on the entire family unit rather than just the individual. My goal is to help families uncover and understand deep-rooted patterns and issues that interfere with healthy communication and connection. Through this process, I support each member in developing more effective ways of relating, resolving conflict, and fostering emotional safety with the family system. I primarily use Dialectical Behavior Therapy and view my work through that lens. This means focusing on mindfulness, expanding tolerance for discomfort, increasing effectiveness in relationships and strengthening emotional regulation. When challenges arise in therapy, I often find that the root of the issue can be addressed through one of these core areas. For clients struggling with post-traumatic stress injuries-particularly common in military populations-I also incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them reframe and work through trauma-related beliefs. My approach is structured, evidence-based, and tailored to the needs of each individual or family.

Hello, I’m Carolina Herrera, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. As a bilingual (English and Spanish) and bicultural therapist, I have extensive experience working in community clinics, schools and medical settings, understanding how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape the way we move through the world. I strive to create a space where all parts of you feel seen, respected, and welcomed. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. My approach is holistic and compassionate, integrating modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, trauma-informed practices, Art and Play Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. I believe healing happens not only in the mind, but also through the body and the spirit. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and I welcome individuals from all backgrounds who are ready to take a gentle, courageous step toward healing.

I'm a licensed therapist who specializes in working with women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or who find themselves in confusing or hurtful relationships. I enjoy psychology and mental health because I believe emotional well-being is just as important as physical health, and the two are deeply connected. It is meaningful to me to support clients as they begin to understand themselves more fully, develop greater self-awareness, and recognize their own strengths. I value being part of the process as clients gain insight, build confidence, and feel more empowered to make changes in their lives.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. I'm a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping adults build stronger, more compassionate relationships—with themselves and with others. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-critical thoughts, and the feeling of being stuck or disconnected from what matters most. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based therapies including Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. These approaches help clients not only manage emotional challenges, but also clarify their values and move toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life. At the heart of our work is the belief that healing comes through greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-compassion. Whether you're struggling with a harsh inner critic, navigating a transition, or simply feeling out of alignment, therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths and make choices that reflect who you truly are. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed—but leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. If you're ready to move forward with more self-kindness, intention, and meaning, I’d be honored to support your journey.

I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers a warm, grounded space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. My style is relational and attachment-informed—meaning we pay attention to patterns that show up in relationships, and how earlier experiences may shape the way you cope, connect, or protect yourself today. I’m also strengths-based and practical: we’ll build on what’s already working while using CBT tools to reduce overwhelm, challenge unhelpful thought loops, and practice skills that support steadier mood, boundaries, and healthier relationships. The impact my clients often experience is feeling more emotionally stable and confident in themselves, with a clearer understanding of their triggers and patterns. Over time, many people report improved self-compassion, stronger communication, more secure attachment in relationships, and an increased ability to tolerate difficult emotions without shutting down or spiraling. My goal is for you to leave therapy with both deeper insight and real-life tools so you can feel more connected, empowered, and able to live with authenticity and intention.

Life can get heavy. Anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or just feeling stuck can wear you down and make everyday life harder than it should be. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I’m a Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people through difficult seasons—whether that’s constant worry, feeling disconnected from your partner, or feeling like you’ve lost your footing in life. My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and practical. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable quickly and appreciate that I’m real with them. I won’t lecture you or tell you what you should do. We’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck and find realistic ways to move forward. I’ll help you notice unhelpful thought patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and build skills you can actually use in daily life and relationships. My goal is simple: to help you feel steadier, more confident, and more like yourself again—and to start feeling some relief sooner rather than later.

Hi, I’m Andrew and I’m really glad you’re here. I’ve spent the last five years working in the mental health field. After completing my undergraduate degrees and finishing my collegiate and professional sports career, I returned to school and earned my Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of life circumstances. My experience includes working with foster youth, providing comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy, supporting clients in detox and rehabilitation settings, responding to community crises, and serving individuals experiencing homelessness within a housing-first model.

I have been in the behavioral health field for more than 30 years and have been licensed since 2012. I have a practical, down-to-Earth style with an open-minded, solution focused approach.

Beginning therapy is often a decision made after much thought and courage. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where you can feel understood, explore what’s no longer working, and begin creating meaningful change. I believe in helping clients discover their inner strength, build resiliency, and develop the tools needed to move toward the life they hope to create. I completed my BA in Psychology at California State University, Northridge, and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. I live in Ventura, California, where I enjoy being outdoors and in the sun—appreciating the balance and renewal that I also encourage clients to cultivate in their own lives.

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.

I started helping those who are seeking to up-level their experiences and shine as their true and authentic selves in 2019. My journey first started in residential treatment facilities where I held space for those in early recovery from substance use disorders. This population ranged from men's only, women's only and LGBTQ+ Many of these individuals also struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. I have also had the opportunity to work with adolescents at risk of sex trafficking. This work is extremely rewarding as the clients are at an age where they are most influential and willing. I am a deeply spiritual person and practice in the study of yoga and meditation and participate in somatic healings such as Kundalini Light Intergration (KALI) and breathworks. I am also a level two Reiki practitioner (training to become a master) and a certified personal trainer. When I am not holding space for healing, I enjoy being in the outdoors, surfing, climbing, reading and cooking nutritious and fun to eat meals. I hope to continue the journey of providing a safe space for individuals where healing can occur for years to come. I offer sessions both early in the morning (5am - 7am) and later in the evening (6pm - 9pm) to accommodate those who work nine to five or those who just prefer early morning or evening therapy sessions.

I am a strong believer in the healing powers of expressive arts and play, for both children and adults. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist, I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with traumatic experiences, anxiety, emotional regulation, life transitions, and family relationship challenges. My approach is creative, expressive, strength-based and playful. I am a family/systems-centered therapist, and I hope to make long-term changes that will increase your quality of life.
