I help people create meaningful, lasting change by guiding them through a process of deep self-awareness, healing, and intentional action. My clients often discover increased self-worth, a deeper sense of confidence, and stronger, more authentic relationships. Together, we work to uncover and break through limiting beliefs, making space for growth, resilience, and transformation. My approach empowers you to reconnect with your truest self while fostering clarity, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of hope. This space is one where you can show up exactly as you are. We’ll work through difficult emotions, unhelpful thought patterns, and the stories you may carry about yourself; all within a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I believe that no matter where you’re starting from, change is possible, and a fulfilling life is within reach. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, trauma, body image challenges, and the struggles of self-worth and identity. My therapeutic style is grounded and compassionate, blending evidence-based practices with somatic and emotion-focused approaches. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, our work together will help you build tools to regulate emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and cultivate deeper self-trust. At its heart, my work is about helping you feel more at home in yourself. Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new, it means returning to and reclaiming who you’ve always been.

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!

Please read some more about me below to see if I could be a good match for you. I have been working in the mental health field for some time now and I have a wide variety of experiences. I have my bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in counseling and guidance. I have spent the first part of my career working with students in the school setting as a school counselor. I started working via tele therapy because I was hearing from coworkers, families, local community and students that I work with that there were no therapist with open availability. I want to do my part to help those that are brave enough to look for help. I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all. I am flexible and willing to build sessions based around what YOU need. I will provide you a space to learn and grow with no judgement and all the compassion I have to offer. I believe that we can overcome our struggles & I want to help you do that!

"You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change. I began my working career as an EMT in pre-hospital and Emergency Room settings. The desire to further my education and better serve my community led me to pursue becoming an LMFT. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandman University and a Master’s degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling from Brandman University. I have additional training and experience in Clinical Pastoral Education from the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy at David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base and have worked in both residential treatment and clinical settings. I have four sons and two grandchildren. In my off time I enjoy spending time in nature, photography, and attending baseball games with my husband of 25 years.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), I’m passionate about helping people create lasting change through a collaborative, supportive, and results-oriented therapeutic relationship. My approach is grounded in empathy and flexibility—I meet each client where they are and tailor sessions to fit their unique goals, pace, and preferences. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, or identity exploration, we’ll work together to build insight, develop practical tools, and strengthen your sense of self. Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, respected, and empowered in our work together. I prioritize creating a safe, culturally responsive space where you can explore, heal, and grow—on your terms. I also believe therapy should be both reflective and action-oriented, helping you gain clarity while making tangible progress toward the life you want. If you're ready to take that next step, I'm here to walk alongside you.

They yearn to reconnect with their authentic selves, regain motivation, and discover a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Understanding the needs of my clients is paramount to me. I recognize my client's longing for understanding, support, and guidance as they navigate their challenges. Together, we will work towards developing effective coping mechanisms to manage stress and overwhelming emotions. Exploring the root causes of their struggles, including unresolved issues from their past, is crucial in gaining clarity and insight.

Honesty, integrity, insight, awareness, knowledge, relief and resolutions are what you'll get with me. I believe the theraputic process is organic and our sessions will unfold overtime, focusing on getting you to a place where you can think clearly, understand yourself better and feel solid. I am an out of the box thinker and doer with full acceptance for all lifes wonders. Differences are appealing and I welcome them with open arms, encouraging you to be your absolute self %100 of the time. If you need a jump start, help figuring out what makes you tick, what makes you happy, what your authentic self needs to thrive, I'd love to work with you. Life throws curve balls that can be annoying, frustrating, shocking at times. I get it because I've been there. It's ok and healthy to ask for help. I fully believe in the connection between body and mind and weave differing modalities into therapy in order to address each component of healing and wellness. Often we don't realize that just one simple tweak can launch you into the lifetime you want. I believe your truth is in you, and my role of therapist is to provide emotional support, insight, and to help you navigate through past and present so you can have the future you deserve.

Hi! I'm Zoë. In my opinion, there is nothing more powerful than authentic human connection. The connection built between therapist and client has the ability to foster immense change and growth. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist I feel truly honored to be trusted with this responsibility and want nothing more than to create a safe space for my clients to share their stories. I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2016 and recently completed my PhD in Humanistic Psychology at Saybrook University. My psychological research examined body comparison and the impact of one's first recollected experience of comparing their body to someone else's. I am deeply passionate about this work and enjoy working with clients to develop a stronger sense of self worth and a healthier relationship with their body/body image. Additionally, I spent the better part of the last decade working in drug and alcohol treatment and continue to work with this population in private practice. Whether you're tackling body image concerns, anxiety, substance abuse, and/or other relational issues, I would love to work with you on mastering yourself and living your most authentic life.

Clients generally come to me because they are experiencing disruption to their lives due to their use of, or a loved ones use of, drugs and/or alcohol, significant anxiety and stress challenges or have suffered a trauma which is preventing them from living the life that they want to be able to live. I have over 20 years experience in treating behavioral health issues such as substance misuse/addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression. I use a trauma based approach which leans on Somatic psychotherapy skills. Ultimately, this means we will be trying to take care of body and mind together in order to regulate the nervous system. I was born and raised in Ireland. As a teenager I watched my brother struggle with substance abuse. I witnessed the effects trauma and addiction had on his life and on those of us who loved him dearly. My life's work is to try to help others avoid or manage this pain.

Hi, I’m Charles Yin, I work with men and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and self-sabotaging patterns. This prevents them from feeling connected to themselves and others and from reaching their full potential. I firmly believe everyone can live a meaningful and fulfilling life. After working with clients for over 16 years, I understand the difficulties of finding your path in life and use my expertise to help you overcome these challenges. How do I help you? There are 3 key ingredients: I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps you become friends with your difficult thoughts and feelings and make wise choices even when it's hard. I help you connect deeply with the real you and develop a sense of belonging with others. I help you get out of your mind and into your life and develop skills to unhook from difficult thoughts and feelings, stay present and do what matters.

Hello! My name is Marina Thomas. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 7+ years of experience in Child Welfare and coming up on 1 year of experience as a Clinician. In witnessing many stories of trauma, life stressors and anxiety/depression, I was influenced to become a Clinician so that I can provide a service to those going through life-altering experiences, anxiety, depression and/or day-to-day challenges that are difficult to navigate.

Hi! I'm Estela, Do you ever feel stuck or just have too much going on? Are you in a transition, or having trouble coping with life stressors? A high number of people experience these things in different ways; often times, they just need a reminder of who they are to help discover their own potential to move forward in life. I describe myself as gentle, non-judgmental, and empathic. I Iike to meet my clients where they are. Together, we will identify your strengths, explore your emotions, thoughts, relationships and experiences and come up with coping strategies you can use to feel more confident moving forward in life. I know it can be intimidating even making the first appointment, but it is through your first step that success will come.

Chronic pain is a false alarm. "Try putting ice on it. Try putting heat on it. Try sleeping on a giant magnet. Just ignore it." Some things are impossible to ignore. Pain is designed to be unignorable. When your body tells you there's a problem, it makes sure you listen. Pain helps protect our bodies from harm. Pain is like a conversation between body and brain. But as in any conversation, sometimes there are misunderstandings. You want your life back. Pain Reprocessing Therapy can help. I had suffered with chronic pain for many years, until Pain Reprocessing Therapy cured my chronic pain. I am excited to bring this relief to others! In 15 sessions or less, let me offer hope, and a way out. You have been ignored, gaslighted, and drained of your cash over many years of unsuccessful remedies for your pain. Pain Reprocessing Therapy targets learned neural pathways in the brain, and reverses them. If you have a diagnosed or suspected mental health condition, PRT is still effective.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in treating a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and client-centered. I draw on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Positive Psychotherapy to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. I use CBT to help clients identify and transform negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. Through DBT, I support clients in developing emotion regulation skills and the capacity to balance acceptance with meaningful change. With Positive Psychotherapy and a strength-based lens, I empower individuals to recognize their inner resources, enhance coping skills, and explore new possibilities. I believe in creating a warm, safe, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore new ways of thinking, overcome challenges, and move toward your goals—one step at a time. Let’s work together to create meaningful, lasting change for a better tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with you! This is the first and possibly the most surprising thing you will learn from me. You will also learn that it is true, and that will be the most freeing thing you will ever learn from anyone. In our very first session, expect to be HEARD and SEEN. Clients often come in with diagnoses already tacked onto them. Depression, anxiety, and/or severe adjustment disorders are often part of the stories they tell me about themselves. I have tremendous compassion for you. I am not interested in the negative labels or self-defeating stories that you have been carrying around like heavy burdens. I am interested in going right through them and discovering who YOU are.

I offer integrative therapy that helps people reconnect with their authentic selves by blending somatic therapy, relational approaches, expressive arts (movement, dance, music), and elements of cognitive and spiritual healing. I guide clients through moment-by-moment change processes, supporting them in speaking their truth, healing past wounds, and building more ease, balance, and love within themselves. My work treats the whole person — emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually — and invites creativity and embodied expression into the therapeutic journey.

Psychotherapy can help you overcome many personal challenges, if you're willing to be honest and have an idea of how you'd like your life to be different. I've been a therapist for many years, working with diverse persons in New York and California. I use a variety of modalities including classic insight-oriented therapy, supportive therapy, CBT techniques, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also work with couples and families.
