Therapists in California

Hi! I'm a Latina Clinical Social Worker based in California who is passionate about self-empowerment, personal transformation, and the art of psychotherapy. I earned my MSW degree in Masters of Social Work from California State University of Northridge and have been practicing for 13 years. I have worked in varies clinical settings and have more than 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical experience includes working in the following settings: hospital, home health care, mental health outpatient clinic, schools, management, and a non-profit community mental health center. My diverse experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to make an influential impact in the life of others. My intention is to walk beside you on your journey to emotional healing so that you can be empowered to step outside the shadows of your past and walk freely towards the beautiful destinations of your future. I guide overwhelmed, stress, and burnout adults to heal from within helping them regain control of their lives, find peace, and thrive.

I understand that making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or everyday life struggles; we can work together to help you reach your highest potential. I know we can feel stuck, our minds constantly overthinking, which leaves us feeling emotionally exhausted. I aim to help adults on this journey called life by learning coping skills, changing negative thinking patterns, and improve self-esteem. I believe in using a whole-self approach, finding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I focus on creating a safe space for you to truly heal, grow, and build insight. Through compassion, reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will walk along side you every step of the way.

For many professionals in their 30s, this decade brings both exciting opportunities and significant pressures—from career growth and relationship milestones to the profound transition into parenthood. If you're a practicing Catholic seeking to integrate your spiritual values into your mental health journey, finding a therapist who understands your worldview can be invaluable. ​I'm Dr. Yajaira Kennison, LCSW, and I specialize in providing online talk therapy for adults across California. With a doctoral degree in Psychology, 8 years of independent licensure, and 14 years in the field, I offer a unique blend of clinical expertise and faith-informed insights. My practice also supports Spanish-speaking clients with culturally sensitive care, and I offer specialized guidance for new parents, including infant massage techniques to foster early attachment. ​I believe that aligning your mental health with your spiritual foundation can lead to deeper, more sustainable healing and growth. When I am not working, I spend time with my dog, either on another adventure across the world, or enjoying the outdoors locally. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California: LCSW # 79259

I have worked in private practice and the school systems providing Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) for almost 25 years. During this time I founded a small business where my team and I provide these mental health services individually and in groups on-site to school districts all over Sonoma County, CA. I love working with children k-12 and their families. I have worked in non-public schools, public schools, and privately with at-risk youth and their families. This has been my passion my whole career. I have been married to my lovely wife for 18 years, together for 24 years and we have two beautiful children. Our son is 13 and our daughter is 10. I enjoy all things outdoors. I surfed competitively in my youth and I love mountain biking, snowboarding and anything that has to do with water, but my main love is spending time with my family.

Hi, I’m George. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University—but more importantly, I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping people feel more understood, less overwhelmed, and more in control of their lives. I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2017, and my journey has taken me through a wide range of settings—from private practice to Full Service Partnership (FSP), Assertive Outreach Team (AOT), transitional housing, and community health clinics. Each space has shaped the way I show up as a therapist: grounded, compassionate, and always focused on meeting people where they’re at. I bring clinical experience, sure-but I also bring a very human approach. Therapy with me isn't about hierarchy or diagnoses. It's collaborative space where you can talk about the hard stuff without judgement, explore what's working (and what's not), and start building a life that feels more aligned and sustainable. In my personal time, I enjoy walking my dog, engaging in video games with my stepson, and immersing myself in the world of sports. Additionally, I am an enthusiastic fan of Lego, Star Wars, and Disney. I look forward to the opportunity to work together and support you on your journey toward positive change.

I bring many years of life experience to my work as a therapist: Knowing the pain and difficulties of maintaining a relationship, working on a career path that sometimes frustrates us, experiencing the stuck feeling of anxiety or depression, feeling the loss of a loved one, speaking different languages and understanding cross-cultural issues, wanting more out of life without knowing exactly what that is. I worked in a lot of different fields - along with my work as a psychotherapist.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering compassionate, client-centered therapy to pregnant women, adolescents, adults, and immigrant families. I’ve supported clients adjusting to HIV diagnoses and navigating parent-child dynamics. My approach is soft, grounding, and collaborative. I hold space for emotions while offering practical tools for growth, with the goal of supporting your healing until you feel ready to thrive independently.

Do you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result? Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Do you feel like there's a part of you that has died and hasn't come back to life? Hi, my name is Merisa. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Art Therapist and artist. I help highly functioning adults manage their stressors and find more balance in life. I am an art therapist, meaning we will use art as a communication tool to express emotions, process trauma and relieve stress. I have many clients who are not willing to do art therapy, and that's okay as well! Talking is just as effective. If you're from a family who didn't talk about feelings, and/or avoided conflict, it is possible that talking about your feelings isn't easy. I am here to help ease you into it. Therapy is like exercising. You will be working new muscles and I'm here to help you get stronger. Professional Background: I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts, minoring in Psychology in 2014 and graduated with my Masters in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy in 2016. I was always creative and wanted to help others which lead me in the direction of art therapy and LMFT. I have worked at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, providing therapy to patients and families; multiple addiction treatment centers and I was also a school counselor. I have been in recovery for years, and have personal and professional experience working with teens, adults and families in substance use and mental health treatment. I am willing to help you with addiction, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.

I have over 10 years experience working with adult male and females experiencing various problems with severe mental disorders as a licensed psychologist. I am well experienced with treatment planning for various mental health programs, identifying treatment outcomes, and assessing and treating patients in support of their recovery. Other experiences include diagnostic evaluations, structured clinical interviews, intake assessments, crisis / emergency response services, and individual therapy.

Life's pressures can leave you feeling like you're constantly running on a treadmill—anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the person you want to be. If you're a young adult trying to navigate career, relationships, and your own sense of self, it’s easy to feel like you're falling short, even when you're doing your best. My name is Devin, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My own story as a mixed-race, genderqueer femme of Mexican and Laos ancestry isn't just a biography line—it's the lens through which I understand the world. It’s taught me how our identities, families, and communities shape our lives, often in complicated ways. I offer virtual therapy to young adults in California who are ready to explore these layers and find a more grounded, resilient path forward.

I have devoted my life to understanding human behavior, the mind, and the complex dynamics that shape our relationships and sense of self. My approach is informed by a combination of personal, professional, and spiritual experience, and I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to heal, grow, and thrive. I am passionate about helping people build healthy, fulfilling relationships, navigate conflict, set boundaries, and move through challenging family dynamics with clarity and confidence. I specialize in working with individuals and couples to develop secure attachment, strengthen self-esteem, and foster authentic connection. Whether you are struggling with patterns of conflict in your relationships, feeling stuck in old family dynamics, or seeking to understand yourself on a deeper level, my goal is to help you uncover the tools, insights, and awareness needed to live your healthiest, most empowered life. Because of my own history and experiences with trauma, I bring a perspective of deep empathy, understanding, and non-judgment to every session. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My work draws from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, polyvagal theory, humanistic psychotherapy, and conflict-resolution strategies, all grounded in lived experience and a genuine passion for helping others. I aim to help clients not just cope, but thrive—building resilience, strengthening self-awareness, and cultivating the kind of relationships and life they truly desire. Every person has the capacity to transform their patterns, their relationships, and their relationship with themselves. My purpose is to guide and support you on that journey, helping you step into the healthiest, most authentic version of yourself.

I’ve worked in various roles in the mental health field since 1991 and have been a practicing clinician since 2012. My approach is genuine and authentic, warm and welcoming. I hope to help others appreciate what is sometimes the absurdity and incongruity of life's situations. It’s good to laugh, to have joy, appreciate what is better. GROW is secondary employment, and during the day I work for a county mental health plan delivering complex interventions for youth, families, and adults. On this platform I offer time in the evenings.

You Know What You Should Do—So Why Are You Still Stuck? You're tired of all the worry, anxiety, and overwhelmed. You hide it well because no one can tell from the outside. You work hard to make everything look “fine.” But inside it's a different story - you're nervous, lonely, & disconnected. You're gripped with fear overthinking that you'll be "found out" that you're not strong or your family & friends will see you as weak. So, you keep the masquerade – not wanting anyone to be let down or that they are part of the problem, or for anyone to find out the “secret” causing your stress. Unable to handle it anymore, you wonder if therapy will help you find that peace & happiness again. Here's where I come in. I’m Tammy Brooks LMFT, a Solution Focused Brief Therapy Level 3 Practitioner. This goal orientated approach is different than typical “one-size-fits-all” therapy or therapy with endless talk, rehashing pain & no real lasting change. Instead, I work on solutions not problems helping adults & couples find joy, connection, & peace again. You're welcome to learn more about me and my style at www.destination-therapy.com or visit my channel at www.youtube.com/@TalkwithTammy. I provide online therapy for adults wanting to reduce anxiety, change habits, and make lasting change. I use a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy approach so we won’t dwell on what’s not working—we’ll identify what IS working and build momentum from there. My approach is action-oriented and designed to get results - and fast! Ready to discover your strength—contact me today at www.destination-therapy.com or visit my channel at www.youtube.com/@TalkwithTammy. Let's take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

As a healing professional with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to empowering people to overcome their present challenges and lead more productive, abundant lives. My keen ability to listen, understand, and help others recognize their own internal strengths is my superpower in improving the lives of my clients. My services focus on working with individuals, couples, families, and minors (ages 13-17). I specialize in treating ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, coping skills, domestic violence, women's issues, substance use, self-esteem, and relationship issues

I am a Christian and Afro-Caribbean mom and forever learner. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I dipped my toe into psychiatry for the first time as a high school student and am still furthering my education in clinical psychology today. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available to individuals who have always looked inward, fist-fought generational patterns, and still feel stuck in a world that says they need 15 more tasks completed by yesterday. I work to be a safe resting place for people who have moved from therapist to therapist, searching for someone who will truly see them for who they are rather than who the world has tried to mold them into. I desire to fill the Keturah-sized space in that wellness gap. I enjoy working side-by-side with clients to explore areas of possibility, rest, healing, and growth, and then provide the tools to make these things possible.

Hi, I'm Bernard, I am a licensed therapist that has experience working with adolescence 14-17, young adults 18-26, & adults ages 27-32 seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and life transitions in sessions (I do not currently take clients under the age of "14” or over the age of 32 years old for virtual therapy), I like to walk with my clients through their therapeutic journey’s no matter the difficulty. I am a client centered therapist maintaining the belief that every client no matter their age is the expert at their own existence and has the ability to heal. I utilize humor when appropriate to strengthen therapeutic bonds to understand clients as a person and work with them through their own solutions pertaining to their specific challenges. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, & adults through difficulties with daily life challenges such as interpersonal relationships, family conflicts, life transitions, intimate partner challenges, academic, & career-related stress. I use a humanistic approach to my therapeutic style to explore what works best for clients. Some of the basic orientations I utilize are Mindfulness, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy techniques. My specific therapy style assists clients in their journey and helps individuals understand thoughts, feelings, reactions, and responses, aiding with healing and growth. This can lead to a life that feels more grounded, joyful, and meaningful. I have experience working as an intensive outpatient therapist providing individual therapy, group therapy, and case management. I have experience working with children, teens, adults and their families as an Elementary, Middle, High School special education/general education, and adult inpatient therapist. I have worked with individuals from various walks of life, various spiritual beliefs, gender orientations, and a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

As an LCSW with 10+ years of experience working with a variety of populations. I provide a safe, supportive space for adults and youth. Together, we address anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationships, and life transitions using mindfulness, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to create meaningful change. I also am an approved SoberLink monitor and California Medical Board group facilitator. Christian counseling available upon request.

Hello. I am a psychotherapist who values not only the creative attributes of the mind but also the wisdom of the body and soul. My presence-oriented, client-centered approach, helps me connect in a way that empowers the change and growth you desire. I offer practical tools and guidance that support you to achieve wellness and balance. My areas of specialty include trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, cross-cultural, and creativity. I am well-versed in teaching coping skills, self-regulation, and mindfulness practices. Somatic, psychodynamic, depth, art, energy psychology, guided imagery, and CBT are some of the therapeutic modalities I apply. I also have extensive experience working with energy therapies and the active imagination. Because I care deeply about supporting my clients through times of need, the relational guidance and support I maintain helps clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges. I especially connect with those who are struggling to find their way through life transitions and the difficulties encountered along the way. My own life experience informs and gives insight into these struggles, and my open, authentic, and non-judgmental personality helps clients to feel safe and at ease. Building trust and openness is key to my work, and I value each and everyone’s unique story and journey. I also have a background in the creative and professional arts and this experience gives me a unique insight into supporting those who are creatives. Additionally, I have an insider's perspective on cross-cultural issues and understand some of the challenges one meets when living in a country different from where they were born. Currently, I am a PhD candidate in East-West psychology with a focus on imaginal practices and their transformative potential.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness. Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us. In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.

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!

As a child I was always very sensitive and curious about the world that surrounded me. It came natural to help people and I knew that I wanted to give back to the world at large. Just like you I suffered from some childhood wounds. My parents did the best they could with the tools they had. But due to their struggles I became a very codependent child wanting to save and fix my parents to simply gain the love I desired. Later on I would be able to understand this cycle and name some of the patterns I lived out. People pleasing, losing myself in toxic relationships and not fully loving that little girl inside of me. Once I became a LMFT and gained the knowledge and tools necessary I was not only able to break my own patterns, I was also able to help others find joy and deep meaning in their lives. Ultimately I specialize in helping people understand their patterns and be more effective communicators in their world. My role has been a guide and coach for my clients, providing innovative approaches based on Gestalt Method, Ancient Forgiveness Techniques, Psychodynamic Therapy, NLP and Hypnosis. I use these techniques to help my clients break patterns, many of which are fear based as a result of early childhood trauma that causes emotional issues in the present. This is deep and powerful work, and is necessary to enable a positive path to desired future. I look forward to working with you and guiding you on the path to healing and freedom.

Hello! My name is Diana Marquez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have been extremely fortunate and have had the honor to work in the fields of mental health, substance addiction and social work for the last 17 years. I have a passion for helping others as well as a passion for collaborating, supporting and walking alongside the healing journey of those I serve, through the implementation of nurturing, compassionate, non-judgmental, respectful and supportive mental health treatment approaches.

I received Doctorate and Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Francisco and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Dominican University of California. The majority of my training has been in community clinics and hospitals throughout the SF Bay Area including the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and Kaiser Permanente. I am certified by the American Psychological Association and licensed to practice in the State of California.

I am a psychotherapist, a meditation teacher, and an amateur naturalist. In my home country, I am licensed to conduct learning disability evaluations. My growing up was first-hand impacted by 3 very different languages and cultures. These cultures informed the style of my relationships and my esthetic preferences. For as long as I can remember, I have been mystified by human memory functioning, first as a scientist, then as a meditator. Having gone a long way from trying to remember everything I deemed worth remembering to a more effortless and drama-free attitude toward memory-creating moments, I am still making sense of what it means to integrate each moment of life as it comes. Approaching this subject experientially and relationally informs who I am as a practitioner and as a person. If topics like cognitive functioning, memory styles and focus make your curiosity antennas hum, this is a place for you. My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational and somewhat didactic. I love to explain everything I see and say at every step of the process. With me, you will never experience a blank screen characteristic of traditional psychoanalytic approaches (from which I draw inspiration in the realm of dream interpretation and theory).

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm excited about the potential of working with you in developing a sense of integration and resilience in your life. Are you feeling stuck? Dissatisfied in your relationships and/or work? Disconnected from a sense of deeper purpose? Feel that there is the potential for greater richness and joy in life, but it is just out of reach? Rooted in a compassionate curiosity, our work would explore these themes through inquiry into the dynamic between your conscious, unconscious, somatic, and relational self. Using a holistic lens we can unpack the how's and why's of your patterns; gaining insight into your emotions and experiences, and work towards greater self-awareness and well-being. From a somatic, psychodynamic approach we will focus on the connection between the body and the mind, and how emotions and past experiences can be stored in the body and affect an your mental and physical well-being. Through the use of techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based exercises, you will become more aware of your physical sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts and emotions. This may also include exploring early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and past traumas, as well as working through issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

Welcome, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been working in the field of mental health for over 8 years. I enjoy working with patience in achieving their mental health goals. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you are a seasoned client, I congratulate you on this next step of your journey. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to feel heard and understood as they navigate through their journey. I aim to cultivate a warm and inviting environment where they are met with empathy and support while recognizing necessary elements such as change, personal strengths, and radical acceptance.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns? Life can throw us emotional and mental challenges that leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, understand yourself more deeply, and find healthier ways to move through difficult moments. Since 2002, I’ve worked with men and women who are tired of always putting others first. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and build clarity, confidence, and direction—so you can create relationships (and a life) that feel more authentic and fulfilling.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey of self-discovery, growth, and intentional transformation. Each person brings their own strengths and challenges, which is why I take an integrative approach—drawing on a broad spectrum of evidence-based practices to create a personalized path that fits your unique needs and goals. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from New York University and I am committed to lifelong learning, continuously deepening my expertise in trauma-informed care and evidence-based therapeutic modalities to ensure I provide the highest level of support to my clients.

Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. Through slowing down and reconnecting with our mind, body and spirit we can feel more confident to face life events with a more stable and hopeful core sense of self. I specialize in treating relationship issues, addiction/substance abuse, depression, anxiety, job related issues, couples treatment and divorce recovery

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients develop coping strategies, improve communication. As well as Jungian Psychology in order to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. My goal is to support clients in finding healing, purpose, and inner peace in their lives.

I bring empathy, insight, and clinical skills, to the therapeutic process. I help clients struggling with stress/anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, life transitions, learning disabilities, career struggles, and grief. I interact with clients in their growth process by increasing awareness of the source of their distress, implementing new ways of thinking to positively affect their experiences and helping them learn healthier coping responses in their life. Seeking therapy is a courageous choice, and I will join you in this endeavor by using an integrative and interactive approach to help you gain insight into your processes and live a more enjoyable life.

In this world, we face trials and challenges of various kinds that can leave us feeling confused, disheartened, anxious, lost, and sometimes even hopeless. Know that you are not alone and certainly do not have to face these struggles alone. Using an integrative and goal-oriented approach, I strive to walk alongside those seeking healing, growth, and transformational change. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self-concept, and relationship issues. I have also supported couples toward restoration and reconciliation, resolving communication and marital issues. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and biblical counseling. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman's Rapoport Intervention, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to empower clients to challenge irrational beliefs, communicate and manage emotions, needs, thoughts, and behaviors in a healthier, more realistic way. I recognize the importance of faith and spirituality and how it can largely impact one's worldview. I offer Christian/Biblical counseling to those seeking faith integration in the therapeutic journey. Finding a good fit for a therapist is crucial for the healing process and could feel like a tiring task. Don't hesitate to reach out for a free virtual consultation - I look forward to the privilege to support you!

Hello, I'm Page and I'm so glad you're here. I've been a therapist over 25 years and still love it! I'm licensed and certified in various mind-body and evidence based methods, so we can tailor therapy to your needs. I know life gets hard and stuff pops-up out of nowhere. It's my mission to help you sort through life challenges and make meaningful sense of it all. As therapists go, I'm not the quiet, nodding type who doesn't say much--I'm right there with you, working it all out, shoulder to shoulder. Often, I am the therapist that treats others in the helping professions, be it therapists, doctors, nurses, teachers - so don't hesitate to reach out if this is you! Lastly women's issues and couples therapy, and all that entails, are special passions of mine.

At a young age, I came to the United States from Pakistan through an arranged marriage.

I went through my own therapeutic journey and now am excited to help my clients empower themselves in their narrative paths.

Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience in helping clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, cultural issues, life transitions, and their sense of identity. My goal is to help you explore obstacles to your growth, foster insight, and provide support and guidance to help you make necessary changes to alleviate emotional pain, gain self-esteem, and improve the quality of your life.

Congratulations for taking the step to seek counseling. The world we live in is increasingly complex, and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, stressed, and uncertain about what direction to take. How do we identify solutions for our life’s challenges? How do we let go of stress and sleep at night? As a therapist, I have counseled with individuals and families for over ten years and have found that problem-solving does not have to be stressful, and that we can work through our toughest issues. It is common to believe that people in our relationships, or circumstances in our lives cause us to feel the way we do. But it is our thinking, and the way we relate to people and circumstances, that create our feelings and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us observe what we are feeling and identify the thoughts that create our feelings. With increased self-awareness, we determine which of our thoughts and perceptions are distorted and unhelpful. As our thinking becomes more realistic, we feel better. There are several therapy methods that are effective in creating positive change, including Narrative Therapy, Goal Setting, Visioning for Personal Growth, and Mindfulness to promote focus and attention. Let’s engage in a conversation to explore your individual needs, and how best to meet them.

I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.Personally experiencing the benefits of a mindfulness practice led me to obtain formal training in the study of yoga, Tai Chi and mediation so I could bring those benefits to my clients as well. Currently, I specialize in treating a wide range of psychological challenges using integrative approaches such as mindfulness based and trauma informed approaches.

Hello! My name is is Sehaj and I am so glad you are taking the first steps to healing. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming thoughts, emotions, past trauma, anxiety, or depression, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself in a meaningful and lasting way. I offer a compassionate space where you can process your emotions, rebuild trust in your body, and foster an authentic life. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, which means I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without fear or judgment. I believe that our past experiences, especially in relationships, shape how we respond to the world and ourselves. Through the lens of attachment theory, I help you understand how early relationships impact your current patterns, and we work together to heal those relational wounds. Additionally, I integrate a somatic approach to therapy, which focuses on a mind-body connection.

You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.
