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 21 years experience working with children, families, and individuals as a social worker, eight of them as a licensed clinician! Prior to training as a therapist I worked as and advocate for children, youth and families in various community based non-profits. The peace I felt in helping lift burdens for individuals and families was the energetic drive 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!

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I became a therapist by first being introduced to therapy as a client myself. I had difficulty finding a good fit and felt I could be an effective therapist myself. Are you feeling anxious about the prospect of beginning or resuming therapy? Maybe you fear judgment in telling your story to someone else? I found it exhausting to retell my story each time I began with a new therapist, but I eventually found a good fit and was able to get the treatment I needed. I use a nonjudgmental stance in my approach in order to optimize healing and allow for personal growth in a safe space. I will encourage you to be nonjudgmental, but accountable, with yourself and others while avoiding personalizing issues that do not belong to you. We will ensure that you are an active participant in your therapy, as you are truly the expert in yourself. We will get to know each other before determining which type of therapy will work for you, as every person, relationship, and situation is unique. My background is in both residential and outpatient settings, including group, individual, family, and couples therapy with dual diagnosis for both addiction and psychiatric diagnoses. I also have experience in private practice, an inpatient psychiatric hospital and an outpatient counseling center. *I am not currently able to accommodate evening or weekend appointments*

Hello! My name is Marcellus. Do you find that you get "stuck" along your life's journey and could use a little support making your way? Do your relationships with others or yourself, past or present, get in the way or create barriers for you? The spaces and places we find ourselves in along life's journey can be distressing, problematic, and/or harmful. Being able to navigate those areas of life in an adaptive way can be beneficial to our well-being. I compare therapy to a car's navigation system, you know the destination and have to do the driving and the therapist offers routes and options for you to take. Working together, you can reach your destination safely and at your own pace.

Hi! My name is Crystal Villanueva and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have 11 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and children experiencing the challenges of anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, relationship challenges, and intimate partner violence. My approach to therapy is grounded in the spirit of Humanistic therapy. Humanistic Therapy is based on the core belief that people are good at heart and capable of making the right choices for themselves. In therapy, this belief leads me to focus on each individual’s unique point of view and how this view can impact their choices. It further emphasizes the importance of being our authentic selves to live the most fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe environment to help clients feel comfortable to express their thoughts/emotions. I am genuine, friendly, nonjudgmental, empathetic, and interactive. I believe I am easy to talk to as I am casual in my style, but direct and focused when it comes to our work together. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own therapy that I received as a youth and young adult; it was life-changing. I worked with a therapist that was completely accepting and non-judgmental of my faults/shortcomings and helped me work past and accept them. Because of this experience, I wanted to give back and provide the same nonjudgment safe space, and acceptance to others.

Hi There, I'm Jarad. It's great to meet you! Here's just a little about me. Prior to becoming a licensed clinical social worker, I worked in education and education policy for almost six years. I helped open schools and pass state and local laws to support children in their educational journey. What was missing for me, however, was what to do for children whose mental health needs were not being met. We could build beautiful schools, have amazing teachers, but if a child experienced trauma, had a death in the family or had parents going through a divorce, I often found myself at a loss as to what to do, and thus my journey into exploring mental health began. Since graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Social Work in 2013, I have worked with clients from all backgrounds and circumstances. I’ve counseled seniors struggling with adult children to new brand new parents adjusting to parenthood. I’ve helped children and adults process grief and trauma as well as helping to monitor and aid individuals and families in crisis.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Trauma and shame keep you feeling like you should be on the sidelines instead of starring in the game. You might not know exactly how, but you know it’s because of your painful past. So many women never mention sexual abuse or other trauma because they’re ashamed of it… or they believe they should “be over it.” So, they try to “file it away” so it has minimal impact on their lives. But it never works. The pain festers, and keeping your story hidden away prevents you from living fully and authentically – with others AND yourself. Through our work together, the women I work with move from merely coping to thriving- reclaiming their power, speaking their truth with clarity, and taking up space in the world with calm, unapologetic confidence. The result is a life that feels grounded, whole, and one you are deeply connected with. It will be my profound honor to go on this healing journey with you.

Are you able to show up as your authentic self in every space you enter? Are you feeling stuck and having difficulty in many areas of your life? Are you trying your best, but still not getting the results you want? Whether it be a life transition or an issue that has been bubbling up for a long time and is about to explode, I invite you to partner up with me in your healing journey. Talking to someone who sees you matters. A therapist who "gets you" AND provides a confidential space to reflect, learn, and shift can be the thing that makes a difference. Our sessions will create a brave space for you to look in the mirror, let your emotions out and become aware of any patterns that contribute to your life and mental health challenges. You get to decide what changes or shifts you want to make. You choose when and how to center your wellness, and I will guide you, hold space for you and teach you about honoring your capacity with boundaries. I believe it is possible to create the life that you want and deserve. Working with me will get you a bilingual LCSW that is culturally centered and has over 19 years of clinical experience to offer you. My approach is holistic, strength-based and centered around uplifting you and helping you connect to any ancestral wisdom that can support your journey. My work is rooted in Liberation Psychology and I always have a Social Justice framework

I am a psychotherapist, a meditation teacher, and an amateur naturalist. In my home country, I am licensed to conduct learning disability evaluations. My growing up was first-hand impacted by 3 very different languages and cultures. These cultures informed the style of my relationships and my esthetic preferences. For as long as I can remember, I have been mystified by human memory functioning, first as a scientist, then as a meditator. Having gone a long way from trying to remember everything I deemed worth remembering to a more effortless and drama-free attitude toward memory-creating moments, I am still making sense of what it means to integrate each moment of life as it comes. Approaching this subject experientially and relationally informs who I am as a practitioner and as a person. If topics like cognitive functioning, memory styles and focus make your curiosity antennas hum, this is a place for you. My approach to psychotherapy is highly relational and somewhat didactic. I love to explain everything I see and say at every step of the process. With me, you will never experience a blank screen characteristic of traditional psychoanalytic approaches (from which I draw inspiration in the realm of dream interpretation and theory).

Hi! I’m Rishika Syal, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. I earned my Master of Science degree from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland in 2019. Since then, I’ve worked closely with adults between the ages of 18 and 65, with a particular focus on individuals experiencing co-occurring disorders. My clinical experience includes treating depression, anxiety, and alcohol or substance use disorders. In addition, I have specialized training in complex trauma through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), which deepened my understanding of how past experiences can shape our present challenges. In therapy, I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My goal is to create a supportive and practical space where clients feel heard and empowered. I focus on helping you develop tools that are not only useful in session but also applicable to your everyday life. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and personal growth, I’d be honored to support you.
