I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I have been practicing since my graduation from Antioch University in 2019, and I have been licensed since May of 2023. My experience with multiple challenges in life, and recovery from those challenges gives me a unique perspective and helps me to better serve my clients. The Japanese art form Kintsugi, meaning to mend with gold, takes broken pieces of pottery and repairs the cracks with precious metals. The fractures then become stronger than the solid areas. I believe that we, as humans, as we heal, turn our scars into our strongest assets. My passion lies in uncovering the scars, helping you to heal, and witnessing the transformation as they become the strongest part of you.

Do you have an an issue or concern that you're currently going through and want to be able to feel heard and understood? As a licensed Clinical Social Worker I can provide a safe and welcoming place where you can feel open to share those concerns or worries. Together we can work toward creating more balance in your life. I use a collaborative style to build on your strengths and resources and use them as the foundation of the helping process. I have 18 years experience working with children, families, and individuals as a social worker, seven of them as a licensed clinical social worker! Prior to training as a therapist I worked as and advocate for children, youth and families in various community based non-profits. The joy I felt in helping lift burdens for individuals and families was the force that led me to the path of clinical social work! I consider it a privilege to be invited and entrusted with the task of walking alongside you during a challenging moment in your life. Seeing you grow and succeed is one of the greatest reward I could ask for!

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief & loss, PTSD, anger & stress management, relationship issues, substance abuse, parenting problems, individual with special needs, career challenges, OCD & ADHD, bi-polar, BPD, schizophrenia, etc. However, I don't accept couple/family at this time.

Hi, I'm Dr. Alysha! Are you ready to Empower your Mental Health? By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change. When we internalize or suppress our emotions and experiences of adversity, we may be faced with lasting emotional trauma that impacts our entire well-being. However there is power in validation and relatability and that is why I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based method, with consideration for relational, intersectional, and social justice contexts. I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead, I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself. My objective is for you to feel empowered by reducing emotional burdens, developing coping strategies, identifying resources, and enhancing your strengths. You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance. I believe that with the right amount of support, guidance, and compassion, our capabilities are endless. **Please note Couples Therapy is Cash Only at $200 per session. Individual cash sessions are $150**

Radical healing is rooted in critical theory and social justice frameworks. It challenges traditional notions of health and healing by centering marginalized voices and experiences.

In my 24th year of being a therapist, I believe in aiding you in understanding the underlying factors driving your own behavior, clarifying your goals and maintaining a safe emotional place to explore vulnerability and make lasting changes. Compassion combined with scientific based interventions allow us to explore perception, interpretation, influences on your mood, causes for depression (including loneliness) and explore what obstacles you are facing whether perceived or real and ultimately the best way to navigate given your personality and feelings (and boundaries). Often of course we see things from our own brain's perception and thus it is helpful to have an outside presence in processing difficult terrain in life and provide a healthy baseline for emotional regulation. Helping you confront life and your less desired personal traits while in a safe space you feel positively regarded in makes a great difference.

As a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of dedicated experience in the field, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of serving a diverse spectrum of clients, spanning from school-aged youth to individuals in elder care settings. My therapeutic approach is characterized by a delicate balance of directness and empathy, fostering a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth. I am deeply committed to empowering my clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. To this end, I place great emphasis on equipping individuals with practical resources and tools that extend beyond our sessions. By providing tailored strategies that can be implemented between appointments and long after therapy goals have been achieved, I aim to facilitate sustained progress and well-being. Thank you for considering me as a partner in your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment.

Hello, I’m Wanda Earl, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in California with over 15 years of experience providing mental health services to adolescents, adults, and families primarily with diverse backgrounds. As passionate as I am about helping people, I’m even more compelled to help people help themselves. I believe in providing a safe space that encourages unfiltered communication and self-reflection, both of which I believe are vital for one to heal and foster growth. I acknowledge that life is precious but at times hard and a professional’s assistance with helping navigate through those challenges may be needed. Just like a scale, life has its ups and downs, and only the sturdiness of the scale (the scale being the individual) can determine its ability to carry the weight that is placed on it. If you feel that I can potentially be of service, please check my availability.

As a mother, wife, and first-generation college graduate, I draw inspiration from my trials, using them as fuel to empower others to create a better tomorrow. Aside from my clinical work, I am also a mental health speaker and advocate. I am passionate about stopping the stigmas related to mental health-- particularly in relation to mental illness. I want to work to normalize experiences working through and overcoming symptoms of mental health disorders. I want to provide support for those looking to work on their own diagnoses, but also help to end cycles of trauma and mental illness that can oftentimes reoccur in families across generations without intervention and treatment.

I APOLOGIZE THAT MY AVAILABILITY IS LIMITED DUE TO MY EMDR TEACHING & RESEARCH COMMITMENTS. Hi, I am an EMDRIA EMDR Certified Therapist and trauma consultant who graduated from the University of Southern California, with years of culturally diverse trauma-focused therapy experience since 2011. I received my trauma training at the National Center for PTSD and the EMDR Trauma Recovery Humanitarian Assistance Program. I am specialized in providing EMDR therapy for highly successful expat, AAPI Veterans & professionals (e.g. Journalists, Corporate Leaders, Producers, Actors, Scientists) who experience a Medical Related Trauma, Fear of Flying, Stage Fright, Phobia, Unprocessed Grief, witnessed or experienced a Critical Incident, War Trauma and Cultural Issues. In our society, we overlook the necessity of trauma work for our highly successful leaders. Many of my clients come to me are specifically looking for EMDR therapy to resolve barriers so they can be a better leader and find a better work-life balance. Others come to me for EMDR therapy after they tried talk therapy for years and didn’t see the progress they hope for. https://sherryyamlcsw.com

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 child, adolescent, person, couple, or family will feel safe and sense the therapist is on their side, listens and understands. Therapy on my behalf will involve empathy, genuineness, and mindful acceptance while we collaboratively establish therapeutic changes / goals you feel are both desired and are ready to 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 or shame. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and am very effective with middle schoolers, adolescents 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 caring, effective and someone 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.

My focus is on cognitive behavioral therapy and complicated grief therapy. Sometimes we have to face our losses to be able to move forward, sometimes we have to confront our negative thoughts to clear our mind and focus on what is in front of us now. We try to cope with the world’s challenges based on the values and strengths we built during childhood, but there are many ways to rekindle our creativity and joy as adults to re imagine a new path. I am a compassionate listener who can hold a non- judgemental space for patients to share their beliefs, desires and concerns.
