Therapist, social worker, recovering alcoholic, dog lover. That's me in a nutshell. My name is Ashley, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in CA, CO, NE and SD. I have worked in the behavioral health field for 20+ years, and have been licensed since 2017. I see clients of all ages for individual sessions via telehealth. I have a plethora of experience with different populations including homeless veterans, survivors of domestic violence, terminally ill patients, and children affected by trauma. I have also worked in settings such as the emergency room, crisis lines, and EAP programs, to name a few.

I am firmly rooted in the belief that the therapeutic process is a symbiotic collaboration between therapist and client. Regardless of whether you're navigating a temporary challenge and seeking targeted, solution-driven guidance, or grappling with a persistent concern that requires long-term therapeutic involvement, there are moments when we all benefit from external assistance. I recognize the importance of individualizing therapeutic interventions. Everyone's journey is distinct, influenced by their unique life experiences, cultural backgrounds, and individual belief systems. It's essential to take a comprehensive view, taking into account not just the present symptoms but the whole person and their life narrative. By understanding each person’s individual story, I can offer more tailored guidance and interventions. This personalized approach not only addresses the immediate concerns but also empowers clients to better handle future challenges with increased confidence and self-awareness. I earned my doctorate degree from the esteemed California School of Professional Psychology. My professional journey has seen me serve in a range of environments. This journey includes my work at the UCLA Anxiety Disorder Clinic, where, as a psychological assistant under a seasoned psychologist, I honed my skills in managing anxiety disorders. My expertise also extends to substance abuse environments, both in acute inpatient psychiatric hospital, as well as outpatient clinics, where I've addressed the intricate dance between anxiety, depression, and addiction. My work in collegiate settings, such as President Barack Obama’s alma mater, has equipped me with insights into the stresses and anxieties faced by students navigating academic pressures and life's pivotal decisions. Furthermore, In the unique and challenging setting of maximum security prisons. Where as a forensic psychologist, I've supported inmates, including those serving life sentences, through the complex emotional landscapes of anxiety and depression linked to their circumstances. My therapeutic approach is anchored in both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic theory. Typically, I employ psychodynamic perspectives to facilitate deeper insights into the origins of a client's psychological concerns. This understanding then serves as a foundation upon which we build a CBT-driven treatment plan, ensuring you're well-equipped to achieve your therapeutic objectives.

Using a holistic lens we can unpack the how's and why's of your patterns; gaining insight into your emotions and experiences, and work towards greater self-awareness and well-being.

Welcome to my profile. My name is Kawanna Gritney and i’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in helping individuals and couples heal the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. My individual therapy work focuses on healing past trauma using Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR)—a powerful, research-supported method that transforms long-standing pain at its root rather than simply managing symptoms. Clients often choose this treatment when they’re ready to drastically reduce/eliminate symptoms, attain deeper healing, gain relief from persistent triggers, and develop a renewed sense of self. This service is usually fully covered by insurance, making trauma treatment both accessible and sustainable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also specialize in marriage and couples counseling for partners who want to strengthen their connection, repair trust, communicate more effectively, manage conflict or prepare for a healthy future together before marriage. I use the Gottman Method, one of the most respected and proven approaches for improving relationship dynamics. My work with couples focuses on the relationship system—the patterns between you—rather than diagnosing one partner or treating pathology. Because this service is relational rather than medical, insurance does not cover the type of couples/marriage counseling I provide. If you and your partner are interested in receiving couples/marriage counseling you can schedule your 55 min assessment sessions (3 assessment sessions in total) on the GROW platform for $170/assessment session. Once you enter the treatment phase of your couples/marriage counseling, treatment sessions are 90 mins and $260/session. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For couples preparing for marriage, I offer a 4-hour virtual premarital counseling course grounded in decades of research on what makes relationships last. This course helps couples build essential skills—communication, conflict management, emotional connection, shared meaning, and teamwork—to create a strong foundation for a long-lasting marriage. Consultations are scheduled on the GROW platform for $170. The entire program is $497.

Hello! I have served as a mental health therapist over the past 15 years. I earned my Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) from Tulane University. I have been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California for almost 10 years. I have worked with adolescents, men, and women struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, gender-related issues, LGBTQIA-concerns, legal concerns, grief, and substance abuse concerns.

I’m a first-generation, Vietnamese, transgender, and queer therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to the work. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. In my practice, I often draw from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process trauma and experiences in a way that feels restorative. EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing by using bilateral stimulation—like eye or auditory movements —to reprocess memories and reduce their emotional intensity. I also use Narrative Therapy, which invites clients to explore the stories they’ve been told or have come to believe about themselves. Together, we uncover how those stories were shaped—by culture, relationships, systems, or past experiences—and work toward reclaiming narratives that center resilience, agency, and authenticity. I understand the importance of creating a space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and safe to show up as their full selves. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity exploration, or simply seeking to reconnect with yourself, I’m here support you in that process with care, collaboration, and accountability. Are you looking for a mental health letter for gender-affirming surgery? I write those! Feel free to reach out for short-term therapy services to complete the letter assessment process with me. My practice uses old fashioned, human-generated tools and information methodically accumulated over years of community and evidenced based research. I do not use AI programs at any point in the therapeutic process. *I am not currently accepting family, couples, or group counseling inquiries* *My evening appointment spots are full* *Pls inquire about my reduced rate spots at $150/hr*

You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

Hello and thanks for stopping by. I am Travis Buchanan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC). I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families create meaningful, lasting change. With extensive experience working with professionals in high-stress careers, I understand the unique pressures faced by executives, healthcare providers, entrepreneurs, and other driven individuals who often carry immense responsibility while silently managing burnout, anxiety, or disconnection at home. I believe that people are motivated by a deep desire for belonging, significance, and purpose. My therapeutic work focuses on understanding each client’s lifestyle patterns, early experiences, and core beliefs about themselves, the world and others that shape present-day struggles. Rather than pathologizing, I emphasize encouragement, insight, and personal responsibility—helping clients move from discouragement to confidence and clarity. As an LAADC, I have significant experience supporting individuals overcoming alcohol and substance use disorders, as well as behavioral addictions. I integrate relapse prevention, emotional regulation skills, and values-based goal setting within a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. I recognize that addiction often develops as an attempt to cope with stress, trauma, or relational pain—and help clients build healthier, more sustainable ways to meet those needs. As an MFT, I also have worked extensively with individuals, couples and families navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, and life transitions, as well as individuals coping with grief and loss. My approach is collaborative, practical, and insight-oriented, empowering clients to strengthen relationships, restore balance, and live with greater intention and connection. Some of my interests outside my work include travel, music, baseball and reading.
