I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California with over 12 years experience. I am passionate about and enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children to help them with the challenges they face, including unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues or whatever is holding you back. I have vast therapeutic and life experiences that help me better understand what you are going through and how to help you.
Life is difficult, complicated and at times even traumatic, but it can also be filled with great joy and fulfillment. What is standing in the way of embracing the life you desire. It is not always easy getting to the point of asking for outside help. I recognize and respect the courage that it takes, and I am here to help you.
I am a “person centered” therapist who works from a strength-based model using DBT, as well as techniques from CBT to help you access all that is within you to heal and change.
One size does not fit all – No two people are the same, so no single therapy modality is right for everyone. I individualize treatment to ensure you are receiving what you need to reach your therapeutic and life goals. When you are willing to seek change, change will happen. Things can get better. Take that first step toward healing.
I look forward to working with you!

Westchester, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hi. I am the daughter of immigrants which motivated me to study Multicultural community based psychology. I have worked in many different settings from community mental health to private practice. Currently I am the director of a consultation unit for youth and young adults in the foster care system. I really enjoy working with people on how to maximize their potential to create happier lives; sometimes this is achieved through more traditional therapy while other times this may require life coaching. I do not believe that therapy needs to be a continuous life long process, but rather a process individuals move in and out of at different stages of their lives.

Redlands, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hello! My name is Tana, and I am a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. I hold a master's degree from the University of Redlands and have over five years of experience working with indigenous communities and people of color. While my education and training equip me as a competent therapist, I believe that the true cornerstone of effective therapy is the value I place on the therapeutic relationship. It is this focus that fosters change and healing for those I have the privilege to support.

Whittier, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Welcome, my name is Natalie Juarez! I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CA. I help my clients learn to navigate life transitions, not feel so stressed, and find a healthy work-life balance. It can be intimidating to feel like others don't relate to your experience sometimes. But you have a support system even if you aren't aware of it yet, and I can help you find it and use it to get through difficult transitions in life.
If anxiety, self-doubt, or frustration is getting in the way of connecting with others or accomplishing what you want, then reach out and we can explore how to help you find your way again!
I'll help you figure out what you want and help you take necessary steps to get there. Learn to speak up when needed, to not give in to others' expectations and pressures, to find a healthy work-life balance, and to succeed in new settings. Learn to go through life transitions with mindfulness and intention.
I accept Aetna, Kaiser NorCal, and Private Pay (sliding scale slots may be available if opting for private pay).
