Therapists in California

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I earned a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from JFK University. I have 15 years of experience helping individuals cope with the challenges they face in their lives. I have a specialty in treating individuals struggling with alcohol and substance use. I also have been trained in Brainspotting techniques that reduce the effect traumas and other upsetting life events have on a person's ability to find the happiness they want from life.

Hello! My name is Jamie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma in adults. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, and I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship to help individuals achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives. I utilize various evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as therapy that focuses on internal systems, mindfulness techniques, and trauma focused therapy. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing, and I am honored to be a part of my clients' journey towards self-discovery and self-improvement. If you are seeking support and guidance in overcoming personal challenges and achieving a greater well-being, I am here to help.

At a young age, I came to the United States from Pakistan through an arranged marriage. My experience as a young woman fresh to this country inspired my journey to making a difference in the community through activism and therapy. I went through my own therapeutic journey and now am excited to help my clients empower themselves in their narrative paths.

As a Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for 45+ years, I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Crisis Counseling, Stress Reduction, Depression and Anxiety. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. I've dealt with my own grief, loss and growth by writing a book series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo," as well as "The Dog Bible for Humans - Advice from Dogs to Humans of All Ages." I hope you have an opportunity to read one of my books and that I get to help you, and someone you know.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, with a Master’s degree from Florida State University and seven years of experience. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, acute and chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, direct, and rooted in your strengths. I believe in open communication—if I have a question, I’ll ask it directly rather than make assumptions.

My name is Marissa Ruiz, Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California. Some of my other titles include mother, wife, ex-wife sister, daughter, niece, grandmother and friend. Sharing these titles are important to me because they represent current relationships and past relationships. My past relationships include grief, trauma and growth. I survived obstacles in my life with the help of a therapist. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, empathetic, supportive, good listener and working together with yourself to make a goal. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.

All things are interconnected. To feel better, you have to act better. To feel better, you have to think better. To think better, you have to feel better. To act better, you have to think better. To think, feel, and act better, you have to care for your physical health. To care for your physical health, you have to think, feel, and act better. Each has a corresponding effect on the other. However, the aspect of ourselves that we have the most direct control of is what we do, our acting. While we can influence other people, we cannot control other people. A great source of conflict and unhappiness results from our efforts to control others. If you want better relationships, the only thing we can control is what we do, how we choose to relate. We are responsible for what we do. Others are responsible for what they do. Accepting this fundamental reality and thinking, feeling, and acting in accordance with it is how we increase our experience of power, freedom, belonging, meaning and, very importantly, fun. My professional experience includes over 30 years of post-Master’s clinical work, including leadership experience in foster care, chemical abuse and addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and crisis intervention, de-escalation, and hospitalization. I am experienced in working with ages three through the elderly. I have worked extensively with youth and families, diverse populations and life issues, providing services in various settings, including family homes, schools, juvenile detention facilities, jails, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric facilities.

My approach is strength-based and trauma-informed, centering choice, empowerment, and collaboration. I believe healing happens when we honor both your inherent strengths and the challenges you face. Together, we will cultivate confidence, resilience, and deeper self-trust, so you can navigate life’s journey with greater clarity and alignment. At the core of my practice is inclusivity, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person's unique journey. I view therapy as a collaborative process where your voice, values, and lived experiences guide the work we do together. By creating a safe, supportive, and affirming space, I strive to help you access your own wisdom while also offering tools and perspectives to support healing and growth.

Hello! I'm Gustavo Olvera and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), serving clients via telehealth throughout the State of California. My long-time approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are and work with them to identify goals that will help them improve their quality of life. I believe that we all have the potential to succeed in life and the potential to achieve greatness. A healthy mind is key to success, as we often have to make critical decisions daily. I believe we can all achieve our desired goals by increasing and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health. What attracted me to wanting to become a therapist was my true and honest desire to help others. Seeing how clients benefit from therapy, seeing how clients can truly overcome their mental illness, and seeing how clients can return to normal and healthy day-to-day living is what drives me to continue to do the work that I do. Today I invite you, to allow yourself to start your journey to a better tomorrow; I am inviting you to take a chance. Sadly we can't change what happened yesterday, nor do we know what will happen tomorrow, but we can hope for a better tomorrow by making positive decisions today.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, in California. My therapeutic approach is grounded in commonsense, honest dialogue, reflective listening, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. I incorporate breath work, journaling, dream exploration, and present-moment awareness to support deeper self-understanding.

On a personal note, I grew up on the East Coast before relocating to California and I’m the father of two daughters.

These modalities allow me to combine practical skill-building, emotional exploration, and strengths-based problem solving in ways that meet the unique needs of the individual.

While I have extensive experience across the lifespan, my primary focus is supporting adults navigating life’s challenges. I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiver stress, postpartum transitions, or chronic illness.

Hi there. I'm Steve. I specialize in relationships of all kinds, especially romantic/intimate/sexual and including ethical nonmonogamy (ENM). I believe living in the world today means the demands for your attention are often relentless, sometimes making you overwhelmed, stuck, or feeling like you've lost touch. Think of therapy as a place where you and I show up for YOU—for that very blessed being you get to be, this whole life. In turn, this helps all your relationships thrive, which again, helps you thrive too! We all have a natural drive to adapt, learn, and grow, and we do so in relationships—with ourselves, with others, with ideas and values, and with the world. You and I will listen closely—from where you are right now—to help reconnect you to your innate tendency to grow and change in desired ways. This may very well mean tolerating more friction and tension at first. It’s alright. You will get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Over time, knowing how you feel, think, and act—right here and now—will help you make better choices, recharge your sense of well-being, and enliven your relationships.

I have been working in this field since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures at home, at school and work, with your relationships and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. Are you feeling ready to dive deeper into your unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you live? Are you thinking you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things in your life that perhaps your caregivers did? I invite you to reach out to begin this deeper exploration.

Hi, I’m Kelly Castillo, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult challenges—whether you're facing childhood trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions. My mission is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future, therapy can be a powerful space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. I bring an honest, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I tailor each session to your individual needs and goals, drawing from a range of evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other integrative modalities. Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse clinical settings, allowing me to develop a flexible, personalized approach to care. I believe that no two journeys are the same—and your therapy should reflect that. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can work through the struggles, uncover your strengths, and develop tools that help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) candidate, dedicated to providing a safe, empathetic, and supportive space for healing and growth. I believe in offering culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental care tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether you are seeking guidance through personal challenges or working toward specific goals, I am here to help you navigate the journey with compassion and understanding.

Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage and I commend you for being here. Life can feel overwhelming, especially when we’re just trying to meet our basic needs while navigating stress, anxiety, or emotional pian. I understand how difficult it can be to find balance and prioritize your mental health, especially when each day can feel so different. Some days are filled with hope, while others feel nearly impossible. My role as your therapist is not to offer a perfect life, but to help you develop the tools and resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence and self-compassion. I provide a safe and supportive space to explore feelings such as depression, anxiety, hopelessness, or emotional fatigue. My goal is to walk alongside you through your healing process wherever that journey takes us. I specialize in working with a wide range of clients, including children, adults, older adults, veterans, military families and individuals receiving short-term therapy thought Employee Assistance Programs ( EAPs). I use an integrative, personalized approach to therapy, recognizing that each individual brings unique experiences, needs and goals. My work draws from a psychodynamic foundation and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Behavioral Techniques and a deep understanding of intergenerational trauma. Change can be both empowering and unsettling, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together we will uncover what’s been holding you back and move toward the life you want to live. If you are ready to begin this journey, I invite you to reach out today.
