Hello, my name is David Fallon and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been licensed for about 20 years. I've worked with all kinds of individuals. I started by working with kids with behavior issues. Mostly I have worked with serious mental illness on the streets serving unhoused individuals. And I have worked with people seeking help in a one on one therapy situation. The first session will be for us to get to know each other and see if this is a good fit. I will be asking a lot of questions. Feel free to ask me any questions that come up as well. I will tell you a little bit about how I work. In the early stages, I basically follow your lead. You tell me what you want to work on, and I ask questions to understand the problem. Together we figure out ways of dealing with these problems. Sometimes it takes more than one or two or even a dozen tries to find the right things that work for you. This process is a journey, and I am here to help guide you through it. I can make recommendations, but it is up to you what you want to do and what works for you. Sometimes difficult thoughts are feelings will come up. Do not be afraid to express them when they do as the more genuine and honest you are, the more I will understand what you are dealing with. That being said, always take things at your own pace. Never feel rushed or forced to say anything you are not ready to say.

Welcome, my name is Leanna Edwards and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California and Nevada.

I use evidenced-based therapy models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength Based Therapy and Mindfulness/Grounding techniques to help individuals have a deeper understanding of themselves and reach their personal therapy goals. I believe therapy is a courageous and powerful step towards creating the life you want.

Hey there! I'm a young clinician that enjoys aiding clients through major and minor life transitions.

Hi & Welcome. I am a proud Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the social service and mental health field. I specialize in working with transition aged youth, crisis support and working with those who have been incarcerated/ have loved ones incarcerated. I've been licensed in state of California since 2021. I began my calling as a licensed social worker in 2014 after completing my bachelors degree while living in Ohio and completing my masters at the University of Cincinnati. There, I discovered my calling to serve humanity and embarked on my pursuit of a Master of Social Work (MSW) at USC. Throughout the years I have gained valuable experiences working in a variety of settings such as clients homes, star run group homes, correctional settings, psychiatric hospitals, homeless shelters and outpatient settings.

I'm a Bilingual English/Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 19 years of clinical experience, 15 years licensed within private practice. I consider myself to be bicultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life. My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

Choosing a therapist can be challenging and confusing and one might ask, what does therapy involve? From my experience Therapy involves developing a very special relationship between a professionally licensed practitioner called a therapist and one or more people seeking to collaboratively define and achieve constructive change. This relationship is referred to as the therapeutic bond and is considered one of the most important parts of successful therapy. As such our first step in therapy is, from day one, to form that bond by establishing a trusting, non-shaming environment where any adolescent, person, couple, or family will feel safe and sense the therapist listens, cares, responds appropriately and understands. Therapy on my behalf will involve empathy, genuineness, and mindful acceptance while we collaboratively establish therapeutic changes / goals which you feel are both desired and are ready to work forward and achieve. Our sessions will involve the language of change as perceived by you the client(s), and constructive finding of solutions. You will be able to present your story without fear of rejection dismissal, guilt or shame. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I am very effective with adolescents and young adults, and people working in the stressful world of business, hi tech and active military service members, and veterans. During my time as a therapist, I have built a reputation as a caring, effective therapist who has my client’s best interests at heart. If you feel a connection or that contacting me could be of value, I would be very happy to hear from you. Until such time I wish you the very best in your quest. Sincerely, Mike Michael Durrigan Ca. LMFT (131635)

You may be reading my profile because you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or disconnected — from others, from your goals, or even from yourself. Maybe you’re juggling the weight of trauma, people-pleasing, identity shifts, or relationship challenges while still trying to show up for everyone else.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist with years of experience, I specialize in helping adults — especially women and neurodivergent individuals — heal from trauma, navigate anxiety, and reconnect with their voice and inner strength. I also bring my own lived experience exploring neurodivergence, which informs my deep respect for the unique ways neurodivergent people move through the world.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic work.

I will ask questions that will encourage you to explore and process feelings, while also helping you to reframe and rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles County, California, offering Telehealth services to clients statewide. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I have over 20 years of professional experience in various social work roles, including child protection and child and family therapy. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and I approach every individual with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. I customize our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Taking the first step toward therapy can be challenging, and it’s an accomplishment to be proud of!

Hi, I'm Jennifer. For the past 24 years of my life, I've helped individuals, couples, and families worth through challenges with addiction, relationships, and personal growth. I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives, and that every person is unique, with individual needs and strengths. For that reasons I use several different modalities (including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, etc) with the goal of providing guidance, tools, and support. I seek to always offer a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can heal, grow, and create the life you want. I graduated with a bachelors degree in sociology and political science, with emphasis in criminal justice and psychology. I received my master's degree from the University of Utah, and did all of my postgraduate license requirements in California. I am currently licensed to treat clients in both Utah and California. I am a mother and a grandmother to the cutest 18 month old girl. I am down to earth and told that I'm very approachable and friendly. I value my career and ability to hold space for others and truly want to serve others to help them feel just a bit better than they did prior to seeing me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and personal goals. My counseling style is eclectic, engaging and interactive. I believe that every person deserves to have someone that they can talk with, gain insight from and connect with that will not interfere with their daily living. I like to create personal and professional goals with individuals based on their interests, opinions, and skills not based on other people's opinions of them. I often will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy with a humanistic and solution focused approach.
