I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 40 years of experience in the fields of addiction, domestic violence, and medical social work. In my years of experience, I've worked almost exclusively with adults individually and in groups who had difficulties managing their lives due to substance abuse and the concomitant mental health issues of depression and anxiety. I also facilitated groups of male and female substance abusers and perpetrators of domestic violence. In our groups, we focused on CBT lessons and exercises involving role play, modeling, and demonstrations. Clients were given homework to continue their learning and practice on their own between sessions. As a social worker working in public and private agencies, I worked with clients experiencing relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, and day to day life problems. I strongly uphold the Social Workers Code of Ethics that includes, respecting the dignity and worth of a person and exercising compassion and a non-judgmental approach with each individual. I endorse and utilize multiple therapeutic techniques that include the following: psychodynamic techniques, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, person-centered techniques, and solution focused techniques. I am sensitive and respectful in using techniques that are agreed upon by the client and suitable to meet each individual's needs. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in working through challenges that will help promote and maintain a better, happier and more peaceful life. My style is loving, compassionate and direct. If you just want someone to listen and not give you suggestions on how to improve your life, then I am not the right therapist for you! I actively participate in each and every session.

There is always room for growth no matter what age or where you are in life. It is my mission to help people in their personal growth and reach their full potential. I genuinely care for others and provide a safe and non-judgmental space for healing. Life can get overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Through the Rogerian approach, I meet people where they’re at, being compassionate and warm, yet honest and straightforward. As a therapist I love utilizing a combination of therapeutic techniques from person-centered, CBT, TF-CBT, mindfulness, REBT, solution focused, psycho-dynamic, Gestalt and other modalities that have research proven results. Whatever you’re going through, I am here to support your journey. I am experienced and qualified to provide psychotherapy to individuals for issues varying from: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, low self-esteem, suicide ideation, to life stressors and more. You deserve to heal, grow, and live the life you want to live.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #92771) and registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences.

I received my Master of Art in Infant and Early Childhood Development with an Emphasis of Mental Health and Disorders. I completed the Napa Infant-Parent-Mental Health Fellowship Program through UC Davis Extension in 2017-2018 cohort.

Over the past two decades, I have dedicated my career to the mental health field, spending the last 12 years providing direct, transformative clinical therapy. My entry into this profession was driven by a profound passion to assist individuals in overcoming internal barriers, discovering lasting peace, and optimizing their overall quality of life. Today, my private practice delivers highly specialized individual care by seamlessly integrating four premier, evidence-based modalities: EMDR, CBT, CBT-I, and DBT. This advanced clinical toolkit allows me to treat the full spectrum of psychological needs, ranging from mild situational stressors and acute insomnia to severe, complex trauma and emotional dysregulation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I value using a whole-person and empathic approach in every session. As an LCSW, my goal is to help individuals improve their mental health, address relationship difficulties, and adjust to challenging life changes. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and client-centered perspective, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused and Strength-Based interventions

I work with adults seeking support for trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy and am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment commonly used for PTSD, anxiety, panic symptoms, disturbing memories, and grief. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented. I provide support, guidance, and accountability while helping clients identify patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Therapy is most effective when clients are prepared to actively engage in the process and attend sessions consistently. I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy depending on each client’s individual needs and goals. After experiencing the sudden loss of my husband in 2016, I chose to pursue counseling as a second career. That experience shaped my passion for trauma work and deepened my appreciation for the impact compassionate support can have during difficult life events.

Hello, I am Morgan D. Love, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. My background includes work within community mental health and the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office, where I support individuals and families facing complex mental health and life challenges. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating emotional safety and trust. I believe healing begins when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to better understand themselves and their experiences. I integrate evidence-based practices with a nervous system-informed and trauma-informed lens, helping clients build emotional awareness, resilience, and healthier ways of coping. I strive to create a space where clients can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and move toward healing with greater clarity and self-compassion. I work with adults navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work. Having navigated significant life transitions myself, including divorce and co-parenting, I approach each client with genuine empathy and a grounded, realistic perspective. Reaching out takes courage, and I don't take that lightly. I know that starting therapy can feel intimidating. That's why I offer every potential client a complimentary 30-minute consultation before we begin - an opportunity to get to know one another, ask anything on your mind, and determine together whether we're the right fit. There are no wrong questions and no pressure. To schedule a :30 minute no charge consultation please follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/No-Charge-Consultation My style is warm and direct. Sessions are collaborative and active - we'll be working together toward something concrete. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a couple arrive on the other side of hard work with clarity and renewed intention, or witnessing an individual move from sadness and confusion to finding their footing and a version of themselves they feel good about. I work exclusively via telehealth - and I believe that's a genuine advantage. There's real value in therapy that happens on your own terms. No traffic, no babysitter needed - show up as you are. It's not unusual for a little one to wander in, and those moments often give me a richer understanding of a client's world than any office could. Outside the office I'm a mother, grandmother, and devoted companion to golden retrievers Whitney and Ginger. I'm closely connected to my 87-year-old parents, connected to communities in Marin County, North Lake Tahoe, and Bend, Oregon, and endlessly curious about the world. Licensed in California, Oregon, and Nevada. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to hear from you.

This experience continues to guide my work as I strive to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported in their growth.

"You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A.A. Milne We all struggle at times to see our inner strengths and capabilities due to the life experiences which have shaped us. I work in the belief that we each have everything we need to achieve a fulfilled and successful life already present within us; sometimes we just need a little help accessing it. Using a multi-modality approach I encourage my clients to work in the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring us to self awareness, acceptance, and lasting change. I began my working career as an EMT in pre-hospital and Emergency Room settings. The desire to further my education and better serve my community led me to pursue becoming an LMFT. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandman University and a Master’s degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling from Brandman University.

Welcome! My name is Tamer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked for nearly 10 years in different capacities such as refugee resettlement, disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+ centered care. I am most excited about creative self-expression, and I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the powerful role that stories play in shaping our everyday lives. I also find tremendous value in working together to deconstruct how these stories show up in the context of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Seeking therapy is one of the most courageous steps you can take for yourself. Whether you want to heal past wounds, resolve conflict in your relationships, or better manage the stressors of life, therapy is the space where your goals and values are prioritized. It is where you can feel safe to be vulnerable and open. Because there is no singular way to engage in treatment, therapy does not conform to strict constructs, norms, or stereotypes. Rather, therapy is meant to reflect your authentic self and promote the innate power you hold. The right therapist should honor the nuances of your life’s journey, while also helping explore the path forward that you want to lead. Every person lives within multiple stories, of family, culture, relationships, challenges, and hopes. Therapy can help you discover which stories still serve you and which stories deserve to be rewritten. The next chapter does not need to be written alone. I look forward to honoring your journey here, and your journey forward. Thank you so much!

My goal is to support clients in building insight, developing healthier patterns, and moving toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to keep it all together? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m Matthew C. Volzer, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in mental health and 12 years helping individuals, couples, and families create lasting change through evidence-based therapy. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, or the emotional weight of past trauma. My approach is practical, compassionate, and results-oriented. Drawing from CBT, trauma-focused therapy, and family systems work, I’ll help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck and give you tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re looking to quiet your inner critic, build stronger relationships, or simply feel more like yourself again—I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to start feeling better and make meaningful changes in your life, I’d be honored to work with you.
