As a therapist my goal is to create a safe space where you will not be judged or criticized but instead supported and understood. I believe therapy is meant for us to face challenges and grow as a person. I believe that building awareness is the first step to healing. I have been a therapist for several years and as a result have gained an eclectic approach when it comes to therapy. I have been trained as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and as a Bowen Family Systems Therapist. I believe we all have the capacity to make changes in us in order to be happier and gain a healthier outlook on life Clients describe me as a good listener, empathetic, supportive, non-judgmental and “down to earth.” I provide a safe environment where you can be yourself without worrying about being judged or ridiculed. I believe that as a therapist I have the privilege to accompany you and guide you on your path to getting to know yourself better. My clinical experience ranges from working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety and mood disorders. I have a background in working with people who struggle with issues surrounding addiction. I also provide help to adults and children who have attention deficit disorder. Other areas that I have worked with include childhood trauma, self-esteem issues and personal growth.

Hi, I’m Yoana Luna, LMFT (#160919), a bilingual Spanish‑English therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adults, couples, and families. My approach is warm, person‑centered, and grounded in deep respect for each client’s lived experience. As a Latina therapist, I understand how powerful it is to sit with someone who shares your language, culture, and values. Much of my work with Latino clients centers on storytelling, where dichos, family roles, respeto, and generational expectations shape how we make meaning of our lives. I create a space where clients can speak freely — in English, Spanish, or Spanglish — and explore the emotions tied to their stories without judgment. Together, we look at generational trauma, cultural resilience, and the strengths that have helped you survive difficult moments. I specialize in couples counseling, domestic violence recovery, trauma‑informed care, CBT, family conflict, grief, and anxiety. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, healing from past harm, or trying to break long‑standing family patterns, I help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change. My goal is to offer a therapeutic space where you feel connected, understood, and safe enough to grow. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you toward healing and stronger relationships.

Hello! I’m excited to be a part of the team at Grow Therapy. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University in 2016. My background includes working in college/university psychological service centers, an outpatient psychiatric center, and an outpatient treatment program specializing in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). More recently, I’ve completed EMDRIA approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training. Prior to my doctoral training at Cal Lu, I worked at a non-profit community counseling center in Santa Barbara, CA. The way your course of therapy unfolds will depend on a number of things, including your goals for therapy, your strengths, and your history. In our sessions, I will be focusing on understanding your needs and goals, and getting to know you as a whole person. By exploring your current life and personal history, we develop an understanding of why you think, feel and behave as you do. Therapy is a place to focus on yourself, which is a rare opportunity in our extraordinarily busy lives. Therapy can help you solve a specific problem, provide symptom relief, gain more general self-acceptance, as well as create personal change. I work collaboratively with individuals struggling with issues including: Anxiety and Panic, Depression, Emotion Dysregulation, Trauma, Insecurity and Fearfulness, Problems with Alcohol and Drug-Use, Grief and Loss, Self-Acceptance, Stress, Sexuality, Relationship Difficulties, and Peak Performance. I utilize evidence-based techniques including CBT and DBT, and have found through experience that these methods combine well with psychodynamic/insight oriented therapies. My knowledge, experience, and care are dedicated to helping clients meet their goals and live a more fulfilled life.

Welcome! I’m Niekachi Nwogu, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #85265) based in California. I provide compassionate, culturally responsive mental health services to individuals navigating a range of life experiences and transitions. With over a decade of clinical experience, I have worked across diverse settings, including schools, crisis intervention programs, high-acuity treatment centers, and leadership roles. My clinical approach is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and person-centered care, and I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and other interventions tailored to each client’s needs and goals. A core focus of my work is supporting individuals within diaspora communities. As a second-generation immigrant, I understand the emotional complexity of navigating life between cultures, including identity development, acculturation stress, intergenerational dynamics, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. I am deeply committed to providing a space where these experiences can be explored with understanding, validation, and care. I also specialize in supporting adults through life transitions and stressors, such as starting or changing careers, academic pressures, relocation, family challenges, loss, and increased responsibilities. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed by change, uncertainty, or competing demands, and who are seeking greater clarity, stability, and confidence in moving forward. I believe that while life transitions can be challenging, they also hold the potential for growth, resilience, and meaningful transformation with the right support. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow into their fullest selves. You are worthy of that space and support. Outside of my practice, I enjoy planning travel adventures, enjoying a latte with a good book, spending time with loved ones, relaxing at the spa, and attending Broadway shows and musicals.

That's when a professional can help you heal the compounding effects of life experiences.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step—especially if you’re not totally sure what to say or where to begin. My job is to make that part easier. I’m a licensed therapist who works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, burnout, low motivation, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Some clients come in with something specific going on, while others just know something feels off and want to figure it out. Both are completely welcome here. In our work together, we focus on what’s actually happening in your day-to-day life and how to create real, noticeable changes—not just talk in circles. I aim to keep sessions practical, collaborative, and grounded so you leave with clarity and a better sense of direction. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a space where they can be honest without feeling judged or analyzed. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan before starting—we’ll figure that out together. If you’re looking for therapy that feels straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you move forward, I’d be glad to work with you.

My Approach is non judge mental and client centered. I am passionate about helping others grow through mental health and realize that life can be challenging and creating change can be difficult. I have been providing individuals with mental health treatment for 10 years and find my clinical strength is with individuals who struggle with thinking patterns, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting, and marriage discourse. I focus a lot on thinking patterns, emotions, behaviors and their connections as well as building insight and awareness into thoughts and behaviors that create barriers in life or sustain challenges. I utilize CBT, DBT, EFT, SF, and Narrative therapy for the most part and also focus on the nervous system/polyvagal to assist with calming the body and rewiring what it has learned through distress. My objective is to create an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and to allow clients to feel safe while processing their thoughts and feelings while gently providing psycho education and techniques to assist.

Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous step. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I provide a compassionate, grounded space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, heal from past wounds, and move toward meaningful change. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, faith, and trauma. My approach is relational and collaborative — I believe healing happens within safe, attuned connections. Together, we’ll work to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while building practical tools to support emotional regulation, communication, and self-understanding. My work is informed by person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and attachment-based frameworks. I also integrate trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives, helping clients explore identity, purpose, and the deeper narratives shaping their lives. I obtained a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I have a background in behavioral therapy and have worked in several different settings including school, group settings, residential facilities, and private practice. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply seeking clarity, therapy can be a place to slow down and reconnect with yourself. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you strengthen resilience, deepen insight, and move toward the life and relationships you want with yourself and others. I welcome clients from diverse cultural, spiritual, and relational backgrounds, and I am committed to creating an inclusive, affirming therapeutic environment. If you're ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you.
