Hi there, I’m Monica! Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my practice. I commend you for your courage to seek counseling and investing time in yourself! Life can be challenging at times. Are you feeling stuck, like you're not living life to the fullest because of fear, worry, sadness, or insecurity? I empower clients to take control of their thoughts and learn healthy coping skills so that they may live peacefully and confidently. I provide an integrative approach focusing on physical, spiritual, and mental health so clients may become the best versions of themselves. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Over the years , I have worked with many people of all ages, faiths, and from all cultural backgrounds. Interestingly enough, what I have found is that many people often struggle with feelings of low self-worth, hurt, ongoing worry, poor sleep, racing thoughts, self-doubt, and difficulty with healthy boundary setting. I enjoy providing effective evidence-based treatment for clients and creating a culturally sensitive therapeutic relationship so they may achieve their treatment goals. My areas of special interest focus on women’s issues including life transitions, personal development, anxiety, low self-esteem, and decreased motivation. I believe in treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while building a strong trustworthy connection. I look forward to meeting you and helping you be your best self!

About Labrini Gilpin, MA, LPCC, CCM: Hi! My name is Labrini and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who resides and practices in the state of California (LPCC4154). In regards to my background and education, I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology. I attended Roger Williams University in Rhode Island and later moved to California in 2017, where I became licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Certified Case Manager (CCM). Mental health and physical wellness has always been a passion of mine and I strive to lead by example. On a more personal note, in 2020 my husband and I adopted two rescues who are now permanent members of the family: Popeye and Olive Oil. I am a pet lover and consider them to be trials that then led to my two beautiful boys. When I am not chasing after my puppies or little humans, in my free time I like to engage in activities that restore my mind, body, and soul whether that be through exercise, streaming shows, meditation, writing, listening to music, reading, or spending time with family and friends. Taking long walks with my kids has become a tradition. Nature is my happy place!

Hello! I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can take courage, and my hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want. From school-aged youth to aging adults, in both underserved areas and affluent communities, I have supported clients navigating complex personal, social, and political landscapes. I’ve been an advocate and resource for clients through moments of profound uncertainty—including ICE raids, community crises, and the isolation of the COVID‑19 stay‑at‑home period. Across every setting, I strive to meet people with respect, curiosity, and a deep belief in their capacity for growth. I am a queer identified, cisgender, white male who's deeply proud of the LGBTQ+ community I'm part of and our diverse range of identities, abilities, and ways of life. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy staying physically active and creative. Listening to music, going to concerts, and personally performing help me to recharge and find joy.

Welcome! My name is Nathan Taylor and I’d like to thank you for taking the time to look over my profile and to learn a little about me as a therapist. Choosing a therapist can be challenging (and maybe even more than a little anxiety provoking!) and it is important to take the time to find someone that you feel may be a good fit to work with towards helping you achieve your goals in therapy. With that in mind, I wanted to share a little about myself and my own path as a therapist. Should you feel like we may be a good fit, I genuinely look forward to meeting and hopefully working with you. Each of our own personal experiences, dreams, goals, hopes, and needs, both in life and in therapy are unique and individual. You may know exactly what those are for you, or you may feel like you are lost and overwhelmed. Either way, my role is to help you along your own path. To help define what you are struggling with and to take the steps that are needed to work through those struggles and challenges. Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, know that it can be an incredibly valuable tool towards finding what it is that you are looking for. I’ve been in the mental health field in one way or another for well over 20 years, working with children, families, couples, and adults, both in the public sector and in private practice. While I started my career working with children in group homes, foster care, and in the legal system, my passion as a therapist has taken me in many directions. I’ve worked for many years as both a clinical supervisor for new and learning therapists and as an upper-level manager/administrator in the public mental health sector. Most recently, in addition to my work in private practice I ran several types of community mental health programs, both outpatient and inpatient, for a large behavioral health company providing mental healthcare to adults. I became a licensed therapist in 2008, yet I’m constantly learning, growing, and developing every day in order to become the best therapist that I can be. It’s my belief that it is an honor and privilege to work with people as a therapist to help each person in the way that they need. Over the years, I’ve received several advanced trainings and certifications that I’ve pursued to obtain the skill sets needed to specialize in a few areas that I believe are tremendously effective and helpful to those I work with. I’ve found that EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Hypnotherapy are the types of therapy work and interventions that are not only backed by research as highly effective, but also really resonate with those that I work with. As with anything in therapy, there is no one-size fits all approach, and I find it most valuable to help create a treatment approach in complete collaboration with you. As an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist, I've found this evidenced-based approach to therapy to be particularly effective with people for a wide variety of reasons, and as such EMDR is my current primary specialty. As EMDR therapy has gained a significant amount of positive attention lately, this may be something you're familiar with, heard about and would like to know more, or it's all together new to you. I'd be more than happy to share additional information with you about EMDR should you be interested in learning more. Again, thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about me. You’ve found the courage to get this far, let’s see how much further we can get together!

Hello and welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the human experience. My work is guided by the belief that healing emerges when we feel truly seen, heard, and held—an approach that honors both the conscious and unconscious dimensions of your inner life. I offer a holistic, integrative approach that engages mind, body, and spirit. I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted sessions (KAP), and provide both preparation and integration support to help these experiences become a source of profound insight and growth. My practice moves beyond traditional talk therapy. I see storytelling not just as expression, but as a doorway to transformation. Through connecting with the body and attending to the felt sense of experience, clients can shift entrenched patterns, reclaim fragmented parts of themselves, and cultivate lasting change. By exploring both the personal and archetypal dimensions of your inner world, we work to cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and in life’s unfolding. Healing is not simply intellectual—it is a process of reconnecting with the wholeness of who you are, integrating the wounded, the wise, and the curious parts of yourself to step more fully into your life.

Hello, i'm Randy. Despite having the title of being a therapist, I believe that no matter how many years of work experience a therapist has, and no matter how many credentials/degrees a therapist has, all of that goes out the window if they don't have the ability to click and level with their clients. Initiating therapy services may feel like a leap of faith; as one would have to initiate a process in which they will be meeting with a therapist who is a complete stranger to them in the beginning. So congratulations on taking the first step for seeking treatment ! I have worked with a variety of clientele throughout my career in the mental health field; which consisted of 3 years of working with adults, and 3 years of working with children/adolescents aged 3-17, as well as the adult population. My goal is to provide support to adults who are experiencing difficulties reaching their full potential in life due to both internal and external hardships.

Hello fellow traveler, Life that is lived to the fullest is our greatest adventure. Sometimes, we get smacked with a roadblock.

Let me walk with you and apply my clinical knowledge as you gather new life hacks to facilitate your great journey. I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health across all levels of care. I have provided Individual, couples, family, and group counseling. I brought my years of experience to the tele-mental health world to offer the solution to time management and logistical issues to many individuals who might otherwise find it difficult to show up to their psychotherapy appointment and found much success with that approach. I have spent a large portion of my life facilitating overcoming the struggle with anxiety or pushing through depression, or one of the many emotionally debilitating mental health issues. Psychological and emotional pain is real, yet it can be managed, and we can heal.

Hi there, I'm Mandy. Are you feeling stuck or held back from the life you truly want to live? Life’s challenges—stress, pain, and unresolved experiences—often settle in our bodies, shaping how we move through the world. These experiences impact our nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety until we learn to work with them. By gently turning toward these parts of ourselves, we create space for healing and growth. My goal is to support you to feel heard, seen, and empowered to transform these challenges. Through mind-body-spirit integration, you'll reconnect, find balance, and discover what transformation means for you.

My journey to becoming a therapist started 29 years ago on a personal recovery journey, recovering from personal trauma and addiction in the entire system growing up including family, and coming from a low SES background, therapy became a way to reconcile the change I was going through in my life. Working with and helping others has always been a calling of mine, and becoming a therapist was a natural extension of that ongoing work on both myself and in my work with others. Beginning with a humanistic approach means meeting the client where they are at, and then conceptualizing the approach with a combination of humanistic and positive psychology, systems theory, and recovery-oriented systems of care.

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.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in sunny southern California, living with my partner, of many years, John, and our three cats, three dogs, and tortoise, who by the way, is currently hibernating...and don't we all wish we could do that at times? I have many years of experience working with individuals, and with a varied range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings with many ethnic populations. My style is down-to-earth, relatable, at times, direct, and always with a touch of humor. I love what I do and consider it an honor to help you resolve whatever it might be that is holding you back. I look forward to working with you! By the way, a former client recently said: "I am so grateful to have worked with you, you are truly gifted, and I have learned so much!"

Hi, I'm Kaitlin! Are you exhausted from trying to "do it all" and struggle to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Do you feel stuck and disconnected from purpose in your life? Do you feel lost in old habitual patterns that no longer support the life you want to live, uncertain how to find your way out? I empower individuals to break out of the stuckness and monotony of day-to-day life and reawaken their life to greater levels of joy, purpose, and connection. Together we build new patterns of being that support the life you want to live. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and soul. I integrate mindfulness, meditation, somatic psychotherapies (mind/body therapy), Eastern philosophy, Internal Family Systems, Nature, and EMDR into sessions to support you in having whole-being breakthroughs. Whether you're experiencing stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, low confidence, and/or life transitions, I'm here to help. It takes a lot of strength and courage to journey toward a more fulfilling and happy life. If you’re ready to take the next step, I am here to support and empower you each step of the way!
