About Labrini Gilpin, LPCC, CCM: Hi! My name is Labrini and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who resides and practices in the state of California (LPCC4154). In regards to my background and education, I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology. I attended Roger Williams University in Rhode Island and later moved to California in 2017, where I became licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Certified Case Manager (CCM). Mental health and physical wellness has always been a passion of mine and I strive to lead by example. On a more personal note, in 2020 my husband and I adopted two rescues who are now permanent members of the family: Popeye and Olive Oil. I am a pet lover and consider them to be trials that then led to my two beautiful boys. When I am not chasing after my puppies or little humans, in my free time I like to engage in activities that restore my mind, body, and soul whether that be through exercise, streaming shows, meditation, writing, listening to music, reading, or spending time with family and friends. Taking long walks with my kids has become a tradition. Nature is my happy place!

Hola! My name is Maria, I'm a first-generation therapist seeing clients in person & virtually from Ventura, CA. I specialize in working with women who have experienced sexual abuse and supporting daughters who have experienced emotional neglect due to emotionally immature or unavailable parents. In therapy, we do the work to become the adults we've always deserved to be.In our work together, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore the impact of your past and how it’s showing up in your life now. I take a compassionate, client-centered approach, drawing from different therapeutic methods like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Healing, and EMDR, depending on what fits best for you. We’ll dive deep into the emotional and physical toll of trauma, whether it’s from childhood sexual abuse, growing up with emotionally unavailable parents, or navigating the complexities of being a first-generation individual. I’m here to help you unpack feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety and work through patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll also look at how cultural expectations and intergenerational trauma may have played a role in shaping your experiences.

Welcome! I am a first-gen, bilingual LMFT (English/Spanish) based in the Los Angeles area. My work is deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom, cultural healing, and trauma-informed care. My work is a reflection of my lived experience navigating identity, family dynamics, and the weight of generational expectations. I carry the stories of those who came before me and hold sacred the power of reclaiming identity, voice, and inner knowing. I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support deep trauma healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection to the body. Alongside EMDR, I use person-centered therapy, which honors your autonomy, your wisdom, and your pace. My approach is also deeply informed by decolonial and ancestral frameworks, which invite us to challenge oppressive narratives, reconnect to lineage, and root your healing in something bigger than pathology, something sacred. *I've chosen to center my practice on the healing needs of women and the LGBTQIA+ community. I do not currently work with cisgender men, minors, or court-involved clients in order to preserve alignment with my clinical roots*

I have been working with clients for many years. I am honored to work with you and to be with you through the process of self discovery and personal growth. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to push ourselves to grow. It can be difficult; however, it can also be a transformative experience that can provide great personal freedom.

Hi there, I'm really glad you're here. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming- but when you find someone who truly gets you, it can make all the difference. My hope is to be that person for you. I'm a first generation Mexican-American therapist, and while most of my sessions are in English, I also speak Spanish and enjoy working with bilingual and bicultural clients. I know how important it is to feel seen and understood, especially when navigating different parts of your identity and life experiences.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
