Hello, and congratulations on taking the first step into your therapeutic journey! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Masters from Azusa Pacific University and my Bachelor's degree from CSU Channel Islands. I have over 14 years of experience working with various populations and settings. I believe that everyone has experienced something that shapes who they are today, and I'm passionate about using my own experiences to support others in achieving their goals and finding resilience. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, I'm here to provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence.
I provide a warm and genuine atmosphere and understand that “one size does not fit all." I'll do my best to meet you where you are and really get to know you and your specific concerns. I treat the whole person to maximize growth.
Do you feel like your 'fight-or-flight' response is stuck on high? I specialize in helping clients understand the unique wiring of ADHD, depressed, and anxious brains. By exploring the science of why you feel so restless, unmotivated, or overwhelmed, we can separate your worth from your symptoms. My goal is to help you stop fighting your brain and start working with it, using evidence-based techniques that actually click for your unique mind.
Therapy shouldn't be another place where you have to perform. In our sessions, fidgeting is encouraged, eye contact is optional, and your unique way of processing the world is celebrated, not 'fixed.' I provide a warm, non-judgmental space for adults with ADHD and anxiety to unmask and find balance. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths to help you navigate a world that wasn't exactly built for minds like yours.
If you're tired of feeling like your brain is a browser with 50 tabs open, you’re in the right place. I help individuals with ADHD, PTSD, depression and anxiety and more move from 'overwhelmed' to 'organized' by building practical toolkits for time management and focus. We won't just talk about your challenges, we'll actively troubleshoot the obstacles keeping you stuck so you can feel more in control of your day-to-day life.
Hello and Seja bem-vindo! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I grew up in Brazil and moved to California to pursue my career as a therapist. I truly believe that due to life challenges, stressful jobs, career and busy lifestyle, it's very easy to dismiss our inner voice. That is the voice that wants to be heard, tell us about our emotions and hurdles. Allowing your inner voice to be heard will empower you to embrace the beautiful journey of self discovery.
Hi, I’m Tammie! I’m glad you took the first step towards your mental wellness! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of professional work experience. I enjoy working with people of all ages and guiding them through their clinical goals. I have a strong background in working with adults with chronic mental illness and substance misuse challenges. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced physical, sexual, and or emotional abuse and neglect. My clinical experience has included psychotherapy services at correctional institutions; psychiatric hospitals; mobile crisis units; home health agencies; child, adolescent, and adult residential programs; and outpatient mental health clinics. I provide an eclectic approach utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused, Crisis Intervention, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, and Solutional Focused Therapies.
A lot of my clients come in feeling stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, relationship stress, or reacting in ways they regret later. Things can escalate quickly, or it can feel like you “know better” but still end up in the same situations.
I help people slow those moments down and understand what’s actually happening, so they can start making different choices. My approach is direct, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more in control—without judgment.

I work with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, often supporting clients in breaking generational patterns, rebuilding confidence, and developing healthier coping strategies. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct—because healing doesn’t have to be stiff, and growth rarely happens in silence. Expect real conversations, grounded techniques, and the occasional well-timed joke (because, yes, therapy can be both effective and human).
Outside the therapy room, I’m a committed gym enthusiast, fueled by black coffee and protein-packed meals. Tattooed and purpose-driven, I believe in showing up authentically—for my clients and myself. Whether you’re here to build resilience, process trauma, or just get unstuck, I’m here to help—one honest conversation at a time.

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.

Hi there! My name is Chelsea and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. In the past, I've had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients of all ages and backgrounds. I believe my communication style is calm and gentle, while still being direct.

My goal is to empower clients to reach their goals, so they can learn tools and techniques to help them better build upon their strengths and manage mental health symptoms.

My name is Arakel Aristakessian and I am a first generation American of Armenian immigrants. There is never a lack of drama in my family and I think it is important to be mindful of cultural expectations and norms when navigating conflict. In this fashion, I use an individualized approach to meet my clients' needs. My style of therapy is grounded in the person-centered approach. I practice listening with empathy to my client’s lived experiences. I remind myself that it is not my place to judge anyone for their past choices. It is my responsibility to respond honestly and respectfully. My hope is to mediate shame, so that people feel comfortable and safe in opening up about what is troubling them. Once the therapeutic space feels safe, only then can various treatment methods truly be effective.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience working with children, youth, and adults.

My faith and personal journey with healing drives my desire to serve others. As a survivor, I understand how we feel when we don’t address our traumas, how we begin to isolate ourselves, how our feelings of disconnection can get in the way of feeling fully present in our relationships. I know with guidance, support and compassion, we can re integrate our parts towards wholeness again.

She might be navigating a major life transition like divorce, a career pivot, role change ,motherhood, fertility challenges, menopause or beginning or ending a career..

Many women seem to have it all but underneath often the wheels are coming off in are ever changing world where everybody often wants it now. I hope to help you to make your cup runneth over rather than droplets remaining.

Hello and thank you for considering me in your wellness journey.

I'm Sheldon like the TV show! (Big Bang Theory). I help analytical high-achieving adults who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety and depression untangle their inner world and reconnect with their deeper self-using insight-driven therapy, dream exploration, and a creative lens that helps them uncover what's been buried beneath the surface.
Do you often say, "I'm successful on the outside but exhausted and anxious inside," "overthinking everything, but still feeling stuck," or being in a "constant sense of restlessness or dissatisfaction," or being a person who "struggles to access or name emotions clearly." I help clients have greater awareness and emotional clarity and begin to feel grounded, self-trusting and more internally connected. I hope to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms through deeper insight and ability to recognize and break unconscious patterns. I help clients discover meaning through creative exploration, and dream work. I want clients to increase their confidence in navigating relationships and decisions and moving from analysis paralysis to self-acceptance and expression.

My name is Nikki, I’m a therapist with seven years of experience, specializing in helping clients address anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using EMDR and a personalized approach, I guide clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and building resilience for a more empowered, fulfilling life.
Together, we can navigate life's obstacles, build resilience, and rediscover your inner strength. Taking that first step toward healing is an act of courage, and I’m here to provide the empathy and support you need along the way.
Hi! My name is Heather Colquhoun (Cal-hoon). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have received my Master's and Doctorate degrees in Couple & Family Therapy in Sacramento. I embody a safe, empathic, and compassionate presence while walking alongside adolescents, adults, couples, and families during their journeys of self-discovery, empowerment, growth, and healing. I offer a humanistic, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach with humor on the side. I believe that you have the innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive. You are deserving of protection, consideration, and care. I look forward to have the opportunity to be a part of your healing journey with you while navigating new ways to create safety, stability, self-love, and wellness. It is time to put yourself first and create the life you love.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) seeking to offer a safe and welcoming space for individuals to access their own inner abilities to heal. For the past decade I have worked as a therapist for individuals across the life span in outpatient, private practice, and school-based settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, perinatal depression and anxiety, and trauma-related stressors. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, person-centered, and collaborative. I am a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, and blend cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and somatic-based practices to fit each individual’s unique needs. I welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals of any race, ethnicity, religion, or cultural background. Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous step, and I look forward to embarking on this work with you.
