Hola! I'm Gustavo Olvera and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), serving clients via telehealth throughout the State of California. My long-time approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are and work with them to identify goals that will help them improve their quality of life while providing them with a safe place to be themselves in a safe environment. I believe that we all have the potential to succeed in life and the potential to achieve greatness. A healthy mind is key to success, as we often have to make critical decisions daily. I believe we can all achieve our desired goals by increasing and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health.
What attracted me to wanting to become a therapist was my true and honest desire to help others. Seeing how clients benefit from therapy, seeing how clients can truly overcome their mental illness, and seeing how clients can return to normal and healthy day-to-day living is what drives me to continue to do the work that I do. Today I invite you, to allow yourself to start your journey to a better tomorrow; I am inviting you to take a chance. Sadly we can't change what happened yesterday, nor do we know what will happen tomorrow, but we can hope for a better tomorrow by making positive decisions today.
I'm Nakila Hill, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to offering compassionate and supportive therapy.

My approach is client-centered, fostering empowerment and resilience in each individual's life.
My name is Jared and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California. I have 5 years of professional experience as an individual therapist, family therapist and clinical case manager. I have a school counseling credential and experience working with middle school through 12th grade students, in public schools and young adults who transition into adulthood (TAY). My expertise is helping reduce maladaptive behaviors, anxiety, stress, depression, family conflict, coaching parents, increasing motivation, building a healthy self-esteem, and being self-efficient.
My hope is to build a safe space for you to gain insight, build self-awareness, and provide compassion to feel liberated. Therapy helps individuals recognize the roots of their suffering, let go of unhealthy attachments, and develop mindfulness. Therapy can provide a structured path to an idealized future by helping individuals heal, grow, and act with greater clarity, compassion, and responsibility.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 11 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/ family conflicts, parenting issues/postpartum, life transitions, immigration, poor body image, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space to explore, process, and understand your emotions, and I do so with a feminist, social justice, and humanistic lens. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. We may just as much explore your childhood and family of origin as we may identify concrete solutions to real-time problems. I love bringing in humor as appropriate. Therapy is challenging, and it takes a lot of courage to recognize "I need help." I hope to enter every session with an open mind and a nonjudgmental stance as we walk together through some of the most difficult moments in your life.
Are you 55+ who has recently experienced the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a significant life change that has you wondering how life will ever feel normal again?

Hello, my name is Michael Chavez, LCSW, and I provide individual therapy to adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, work related stress, and relationship issues. I understand how tough life can be. Before I became a therapist, I went through my own challenges — unhoused, unemployed, and struggling with substance use. Getting sober and working my way through college wasn’t easy, but it shaped the way I show up for others now: with understanding, patience, and zero judgment.

Most people don’t need more advice. They need space to slow down enough to hear what’s actually happening inside them. My work is less about fixing and more about listening; not just to the words, but to what’s underneath them. The pace of our conversations will be different from the rest of your life: slower, steadier, more honest. My goal is to help you come into contact with yourself again, to notice what’s true and what you really want.
Growing up I was challenged with depression and anxiety along with familial dysfunction. When I heard about psychology in sixth grade, I decided I wanted to be a psychologist. After starting a family and enduring an abusive marriage I went back to school to become a mental health therapist. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and challenging others to open their minds to a different way of thinking. Working with individuals as well as parents and couples is rewarding and fostering change for healthier relationships is truly beautiful.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County, CA. For almost 10 years, I have worked in various settings with teens and young adults to help them build resilience, healthy coping mechanisms, and learn to process emotions. I create a non-judgmental environment to support each client in their exploration of what led them to seek therapy. Through insight and awareness, clients can feel more empowered and find a deeper sense of self.
🌻 Hello, I am Kayleigh Eden, a bright, colorful, warm story keeper and teller. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a neuroscience informed perspective specializing in trauma, grief and addiction. I have a genuine love, empathy and fascination with people and their experiences, and I believe this gives me a talent for understanding where my clients are coming from. I know that no matter what has brought you here seeking a therapist, you are someone with a purpose and a worthwhile story to tell and continue living out. I’d love to be a place to rest, a listening ear to share a cup of tea with, or even a guide along the way.
I believe that healing ourselves is the most vital courageous thing we could do for ourselves and the collective. I've come to know that growth is often very uncomfortable and even painful. Which is why so many people choose not to! Because of this, I believe in bringing as much joy and passion as possible into your treatment journey. Trauma, grief and addiction can rob us of our connection to life, and I think love, our values, creativity, and compassion can anchor us back into our desired experiences.
I utilize a combination of behavioral therapy (DBT,CBT), somatic experiencing for teaching nervous system regulation skills, as well as values exploration, art and storytelling.

Hi! I'm Darla, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with clients throughout the state of California providing both in person and telehealth services. I have been working in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I currently work with clients age 18 years and older with a focus on those struggling with anxiety, depression, and other areas causing stress.
Hi, I’m Cynthia. If you’re feeling anxious, depressed, or uncertain about how to move forward, I’ll work with you to understand what’s happening, develop coping strategies, and break free from difficult cycles. These are challenging times, and it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by all there is to process. Therapy offers a supportive space to sort through it together and reconnect with your goals, values, and strengths—helping you move toward the life you want.
Do you ever feel stuck and don't know what to do? Does the thought of getting out of bed or completing a task feel so overwhelming that you'd rather just go back to bed and not think about it? It can be hard to carry on with the day to day activities that life brings us when we struggle with the stress, anxiety and overwhelming feelings around it.
I enjoy working with clients to find the joy in life. I will listen to you, understand where you are coming from, and gently encourage you to move toward your goals. I will call you out on repetitive patterns that are getting you no where, and help brainstorm some ways of getting you out of that funk. You've done it your way, now let's work together to find a new way!
Sometimes we get to a point in our lives where the way we were doing things is no longer working, and something has to change. Do you feel like you're stuck in the same pattern but not sure how to change it? I strive to create a warm, trusting, and safe relationship for you to be able to express your authentic self, without fear of judgement. I believe that healing and change are possible given the right tools. I work through a psychodynamic and person-centered lens, where we can explore your past experiences to learn how they have shaped who you are today and determine where to go next to create a more sustainable and fulfilling life. I utilize Mindful Self-Compassion tools and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support clients in creating lasting changes.
I have over two decades of behavioral health expertise, ensuring you are in good hands. As a well-rounded practitioner providing therapeutic interventions to both adults and children, I aim for excellence. My 25 years of best practice interventions have yielded fruitful outcomes. I am available to support client's that are ready to have a real encounter and a meaningful change in their life.

Life is often challenging and can be overwhelming. A good therapist can ease these challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth. I am a therapist with twenty years experience and expertise in child, adolescent and adult therapy. I earned a bachelor's degree with honors from University of California, Davis and a Master's from Smith College School for Social Work.
If you’re here, you’re likely carrying more than you show. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by life’s transitions—including postpartum shifts, depression, relationship pain, and betrayal trauma. My approach is warm, grounded, and real. I focus on creating a space where you can finally exhale, process what’s been heavy, and reconnect to your own strength and clarity.
With experience in hospitals, criminal justice settings, and outpatient clinics, I’ve supported people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. Those experiences shaped the therapist I am today—one who listens deeply, meets you where you are, and walks beside you as you rebuild, heal, and move forward with confidence.
I’m an LMFT/ CSAT/ CMAT doing private practice counseling and group therapy in Los Angeles. I’ve been a therapist for almost 7 years, experienced in treating sex/ porn addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, ADHD, and church hurt in private practice, recovery clinics, and faith-based settings. As a CSAT, I pay special attention to intimacy disorders, and believe the best way to treat addiction, depression, or sin is about finding real hope and meaningful connection rather than “managing bad behaviors.” What I really want you to know about me is that I believe so much in the therapy process, because my life was changed forever by the counselors that have helped me to overcome my own mental health struggles.
A little more about me that makes me who I am as a therapist? I was a pastor for 17 years and I feel humbled when I can come alongside ministry leaders in a crisis of faith. As a gay Christian, I’m especially proud to share my story with other LGBTQ+ individuals who long for self-acceptance and inclusion in the church. I was a songwriter in my younger days and enjoy finding creative ways to help people heal. I believe we find our greatest purpose in the center of our pain, and I will probably get super excited when you do too.
All things are interconnected. To feel better, you have to act better. To feel better, you have to think better. To think better, you have to feel better. To act better, you have to think better. To think, feel, and act better, you have to care for your physical health. To care for your physical health, you have to think, feel, and act better. Each has a corresponding effect on the other. However, the aspect of ourselves that we have the most direct control of is what we do, our acting. While we can influence other people, we cannot control other people. A great source of conflict and unhappiness results from our efforts to control others. If you want better relationships, the only thing we can control is what we do, how we choose to relate. We are responsible for what we do. Others are responsible for what they do. Accepting this fundamental reality and thinking, feeling, and acting in accordance with it is how we increase our experience of power, freedom, belonging, meaning and, very importantly, fun.
My professional experience includes over 30 years of post-Master’s clinical work, including leadership experience in foster care, chemical abuse and addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and crisis intervention, de-escalation, and hospitalization.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Masters degree in Mental Health from Christian Theological Seminary in Butler University at Indiana. My Masters program is a Four year special degree program which is integrated with Psychology, Philosophy and Theology, that provides holistic approach to Psychotherapy. I work with adults who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Grief, Anger, Trauma events such as military combat, physical and sexual abuse, neglect and Racism.
My passion for helping others navigate life's challenges has driven me since childhood. I was drawn to understanding human behavior and relationships, which led me to psychology. What fuels my dedication is witnessing the transformative power of therapy—seeing clients overcome obstacles, develop insight, and cultivate resilience.
I help individuals navigate life's complexities with compassion and insight. My approach emphasizes how the past shapes the future, with a special focus on neurodivergent individuals and child development. I empower clients to embrace their strengths and overcome challenges, fostering growth and resilience.
Do you feel like you have the insight but don’t quite know what to do with it- how to process it or heal? You are not alone. I help individuals and couples move beyond the surface to work through what is keeping them stuck. I use IFS, EMDR and other modalities to connect you to your wounds, unprocessed memories, and blocks. Together, we set to discover the parts of you that hold pain and unlock your full potential by exploring what is holding you back.
Couples:
If it feels like you’re speaking different languages or having the same argument over and over, you may be stuck in a negative cycle that’s hard to see from the inside. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), rooted in attachment theory, to help partners reconnect, communicate vulnerably, and rebuild.
Oftentimes, what stands in our way is fear—because we have a deeply rooted need to feel safe. I understand. It’s much easier to stay in something comfortable than to risk the unknown; our minds and bodies are wired that way. My hope is to reflect your strength and worth, and to provide a safe, trusting space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued.
Why me? I provide a safe space to unload your struggles and be supported in your future goals. Don't know yet, we can take the journey and discover these together. I use my years of experience to educate about the functioning of the brain, body and spirit to lead toward a more fulfilling life. We will work to integrate all aspects of the self, achieve balance and harmony by learning to manage life's stress. I often give tools to practice outside of our meetings to accelerate progress.
When booking a session with me you can expect to be greeted with openness and comfortability. I am a very personable person and aim to ease you into our therapy journey. I provide a safe, relaxing environment where you will feel comfortable uncovering the issues you are experiencing.
My approach is calming and kind, and because of my personality I focus on positive outcomes. I believe you have the capability to relearn negative thinking and behaviors that have contributed to life's struggles.
My experience covers adults and adolescents in areas of trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, grief/loss, infertility, adoption, life transitions, and suicidal ideation/attempted recovery.
I know therapy can be scary and intimidating, however with me you will feel like I really do care and understand what you are trying to say. My goal is that you leave your session feeling positive and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.

I’ll provide a warm, supportive, safe, and professional space for you to feel comfortable delving into difficult past and present situations, in order to pave a new, happier, and healthier way forward.

I help my clients realize their personal goals through a trauma-informed and empathic approach. My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health struggles/issues, helping them uncover obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential. My lived experience brought me to help others as I would have loved to be helped: someone to tell me I’m not alone. Life is hard, and traumas become unbearable without someone in your corner to help process what you have been through.
Sometimes, life can be a bit daunting. Between big life decisions, tragedies, and even days when nothing seems to go right, it's easy to get down, anxious, and feel overwhelmed. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, life's transitions, or need a space of their own to share openly free from bias or judgement.
Life can be a struggle, why go at it alone? I can help you reach your goals and be a support along the way.

At the same time, my style is deeply connection-based, rooted in empathy and authenticity, with room for levity when appropriate.
I am a hopeful therapist who believes in the process of growth and in our ability as human beings to continually renew ourselves. I find it a genuine honor to share in a client’s journey, and I approach the work with respect, presence, and care.

Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build tools to manage life’s ups and downs, and help you move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to who you are.
Hi, I’m Fabiola Serrano, a first-generation Latina and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I help people who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and relationship struggles—especially those who often feel overwhelmed by strong emotions. My approach blends evidence-based tools like CBT and DBT with compassion and cultural sensitivity. Together, we’ll work on building emotional balance, confidence, and more meaningful connections in your life.
