Welcome – I'm Glad You're Here I’m a humanistic and compassionate therapist who works with adults ages 18 to 64 navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to explore your unique experiences and uncover the strengths that already exist within you. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I aim to understand the whole person—your values, relationships, history, and hopes for the future. Whether you're facing a difficult season or seeking deeper self-understanding, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll identify what healing looks like for you and walk that path side by side.

Hi, I’m Kelly Castillo, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). With 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate some of life’s most painful and transformative moments. Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying the weight of childhood trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or major life transitions. Others feel stuck—uncertain about what’s next or how to move forward. Wherever you find yourself, you deserve a space where your experiences are validated and your healing is supported. My mission is to help you reconnect with your strengths, rediscover your voice, and move toward the best version of yourself. Therapy can be a powerful pathway to insight, relief, and growth—a place where you don’t need to have everything figured out. Instead, it offers room to explore, question, heal, and gradually build the life you want with guidance and support. I offer an honest, compassionate, and relatable approach to therapy. My goal is to create a safe, grounded environment where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered. I tailor each session to your individual needs and goals, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with integrative, client-centered approaches. This flexibility allows me to meet you where you are and support you as you move toward where you want to be. Through my work in diverse clinical settings, I’ve learned that no two healing journeys are alike. Your story is uniquely your own—and your therapy should reflect that. I’m committed to walking alongside you, at your pace, using strategies that align with your values, strengths, and lived experience. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but together, we’ll navigate challenges, uncover your resilience, and build tools that foster clarity, confidence, and peace. I’m honored to support you in whatever comes next.

The last four years have been challenging foor all of us. COVID came into our lives and altered the way we lived and worked. Many of us spent possibly a year or two in partial isolation, seeing only our closest friends and family members. Now, it is 2025 and we are wanting to get our old style lives back, but this transition has been difficult to accomplish. So far, 2025 has not been a peaceful year. You may believe you have not grown in the past 2-3 years, lost confidence and become more anxious. My goal is to assist you in believing in yourself again. Your negative self talk needs to be replaced with positive affirmations, thoughts and actions. Anxiety, both social and life skill focused, along with depression, loss of self confidence or self esteem, and not understanding how these negative beliefs began. Many of us have anger over lost time, along with irritation. Now, as you look in the mirror, you want to begin to be the brave person you once were. You want to be social, travel and feel the joy again that life used to offer. My work and yours also, is to help you find your confidence to begin the life you thought you lost. Please feel free to contact me so we can begin your new journey.

Trauma can hurt long after the painful events are over. It creeps into our relationships and makes it hard to love and trust others. Often, even more painfully, it makes it hard to love and trust ourselves. Often we try to ignore it, avoid it, try to forget it, but the hurt and memories always seem to come back. Maybe you find it hard to trust others, unsure if they are safe. Maybe you notice you are a "people pleaser", worried about making others happy but not happy yourself. If people in your life have hurt you, I want you to know that you are not alone, and healing is possible. As a trauma therapist, I will help you connect how the story of your past echoes into your present. I will support you in identifying the hangups that get you stuck and help you to get a foothold in your life. As you heal from your past and harmful coping, I will support you with taking control of your life and moving towards the goals you've hoped for. I have the best job in the world. It's an incredible experience to connect to people, many whom have never been able to safely share about themselves, and help them feel heard, validated, and supported. Starting therapy can be nerve-wracking, but if you are interested, or even curious, I'd be happy to work with you.

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!

Hi! My name is Kayla, an LPCC in CA. My work is focused on working with individuals navigating generational and cultural traumas, church hurt, and challenges associated with perfectionism. I identify as a Christian therapist and can bring a faith-based approach when appropriate, but my practice is open to anyone, and is rooted in a deep commitment to helping you overcome challenges like anxiety, trauma, relational, and familial conflict with warmth and understanding. My niche is working with adults in transitional stages of life, from ages 18-35, as a support and sounding board for the unique challenges that come in this stage. I come with a very gentle, client-centered approach, which means that one of my main focuses is to create a warm, supportive and encouraging space for you to discuss the things you want to discuss in the therapy room. My goal is to make sure you feel heard and supported - from there, we can work together to identify areas for growth and change! Whether you’re seeking relief from immediate struggles or aiming to make lasting changes, I’m here to provide compassionate guidance and practical support. Let’s collaborate to build a path toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. I look forward to meeting you wherever you are and partnering with you on this transformative journey!

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT We are all unique, yet we seem to struggle in similar ways. Have you found yourself repeating the same patterns over and over thinking you could do it differently but found yourself, yet again, in the same place? There is a way to move through painful patterns and create change. Experiences of trauma, in all forms, create challenges in our daily lives. With empathy, true understanding, and knowledge of ourselves, we can learn to navigate through life with more awareness. If this is relatable to you, please reach out and we can work together to create more of the things you want in your life. My background is in person-centered therapy. Negative life experiences prevent us from enjoying our successes and preparing for future success in personal relationships (with others and ourselves), work, and parenting. As we move out of our old thought patterns, we can create new experiences and attitudes. Let me assist your next journey! I have supported children, adults, and elders in their efforts to create new approaches and desired change in their lives. I would be honored to support you and your journey to get more of what you want and need in your life.

Do you have a history of attracting relationships where the other person is emotionally unavailable? Have you experienced gaslighting, manipulation, blaming - what's otherwise known as narcissistic abuse? You may feel as though you are all alone and that no one understands the relationship. What's even worse, people may think you are imagining or exaggerating the abuse that you are experiencing because the other person is so charming to everyone else. You have done everything from crying to begging, offering to go to couples counseling, to even taking the blame for the problems that occur in the relationship. You are unsure of what else can be done to salvage the situation, so you have finally decided to take the next step to work on yourself. You have experienced everything from anger, depression, anxiety, crying spells, to questioning your sanity. Something has got to give. While you may feel alone, the reality is that you are not. There are a lot of people who experience narcissistic abuse. Whether you experienced in your family, your intimate relationships, at your job, or with your friends; I can be of help.

I'm an LMFT based in Oregon and California. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years. I help adults experiencing life changes, anxiety, and also hormonal changes. I use empathy, compassion, and respect in every session and hope to make clients feel comfortable and welcomed, and free to be themselves. Often clients do not come in for trauma specifically, but more often than not, trauma and grief come up in a client’s past or childhood, so I am trauma-informed and very experienced in treating trauma. I am flexible for using part of a session for the “here and now” immediate goals, and part of session for healing old wounds, for more deep healing.

I'm a Korean American psychologist with over 14 years of experience providing therapy. As a 1.5 generation immigrant who understands the pressures of high achievement and cultural expectations, I help clients navigate the gap between external success and internal fulfillment. I help clients explore emotional intimacy, career transitions, self-acceptance, and intergenerational trauma, with the aim of supporting their authentic identity beyond the roles they've been expected to fill. My approach validates the distinct cultural experiences of Asian Americans while providing tools to manage stress, build healthier relationships, and create a life that feels genuinely satisfying rather than just successful on paper.
