Hello, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I’m a California native who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2019 with a Masters in Social Work degree and have been working in the mental health field for 7 years. My passion is for normalizing mental health in order to reduce the stigma often associated with it. We need to get comfortable talking about our mental health.

I am an LCSW. I provide a comfortable and relaxed environment where you can finally feel empowered to live the life you deserve. Through a variety of approaches and interventions that are customized to you and your needs, we will work together to move you in the direction of a new way of experiencing yourself. At the end of our time together, it is my hope that you will feel stronger, more grounded, with a deeper understanding of yourself. Bringing humor, empathy, and compassion, I am here to assist in honing the needed skills to heal and grow.

Am I the right therapist for you? You have already taken the hardest step which is reaching out for help. We all need help at times in our life and need to feel supported and validated. I'm glad you're here. A little information about me. I believe in a Whole Person approach and address the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I provide a comfortable and supportive atmosphere to explore issues around emotional well-being and supportive measures to guide you on your journey of development and growth. I help those that are looking to improve mood, decrease burnout, increase motivation. I help my clients feel like themselves again. I know reaching out for help can feel awkward and even frustrating at times. I am here to help. I have over 12 years experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Substance use. Let’s work together!

Few, if any, of us grow up in an environment that perfectly fits our needs. As we grow, we adapt to our surroundings in ways that may run counter to our vitality, health, and happiness. By exploring and understanding the underlying emotional and psychological patterns that shape our lives, we are able to develop choice in whether to engage in patterns and habits that no longer serve us. As a psychotherapist, I provide a curious, and compassionate presence, lending my heart and mind to this process of self-exploration and self-understanding.

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.

Hi, my name is Laurie. I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 27 years.

I have worked with people from a variety of ethnicities and ages, from 5 to 75. I am compassionate, caring, and empathic. My background includes; working with troubled teens, military members who struggle with deployment, etc., a drug and alcohol treatment center, couples, and those who struggle with trauma from childhood.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and truly understood.

We will always work with where ever you are in your life journey, and just as much as you decide to do. Therapy should be a voluntary commitment to yourself.

My name is Mary Sowah-Quaye, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of California State University in Bakersfield. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, and relationships issues.

Hello there! My name is Justin Altman, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is simple; I'm here to provide non-judgmental and positive support to my clients while occasionally applying a little gentle pressure to encourage them to grow and ultimately thrive. While my primary area of focus is working with individuals in the LGBTQ+, Polyamory/Open relationship, and Kink/BDSM communities, throughout my career I have worked with individuals from all walks of life to help them overcome the barriers keeping them from achieving their goals. At this time, I am accepting only clients for individual therapy - not couples/families.

Hello there.....My name is Maria Paola Cortes Elser, I was born in Colombia and have been living in the USA for 23 years now, and as an immigrant, I confronted different situations that helped me to grow personally, and spiritually and understand how special it is to be from somewhere else and become part of this extraordinary country. I understand the challenges that come from this transition from different land to America and all the life experiences that those changes include, mentally culturally and spiritually. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Santo Tomas De Aquino University in Bogota Colombia, and a master’s degree in Professional clinical counseling from Grand Canyon University in the USA. I have been working in this field for 10 years, and I have experience with DV, PTSD, Sexual and physical abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar and Personality Disorders, as well as Substance abuse. I speak English and Spanish, and my motivation is to help and support individuals and families who struggle with relationships, and Mental illnesses through faith and professional clinical counseling.

Hello, I am an LCSW with over 34 years of experience in mental health. I pride myself on tailoring therapy to the individual, couple, or family I am serving and their specific goals. I utilize a variety of modalities and philosophy's to provide services that meet the unique needs of those I serve. My many years of experience have taught me how to provide interventions for clients that result in long lasting changes and in my clients living more of a life that they want to be living.

I help my clients realize their personal goals through a trauma-informed and empathic approach. My expertise is working with people who have experienced a traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health struggles/issues, helping them uncover obstacles that hinder their ability to reach their fullest potential. My lived experience brought me to help others as I would have loved to be helped: someone to tell me I’m not alone. Life is hard, and traumas become unbearable without someone in your corner to help process what you have been through.

My journey to becoming a therapist started 29 years ago on a personal recovery journey, recovering from personal trauma and addiction in the entire system growing up including family, and coming from a low SES background, therapy became a way to reconcile the change I was going through in my life. Working with and helping others has always been a calling of mine, and becoming a therapist was a natural extension of that ongoing work on both myself and in my work with others. Beginning with a humanistic approach means meeting the client where they are at, and then conceptualizing the approach with a combination of humanistic and positive psychology, systems theory, and recovery-oriented systems of care.

My name is Felicia Burnett-Lopez, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years. I earned my Bachelors’ Degree in Psychology and earned my Masters’ Degree in Social Work. My education and experience include human behavior; environmental and biological psychology, substance abuse and addiction; understanding and working in mental health, with people with mental illnesses, within all populations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience helping people navigate difficult seasons of life. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, which has reinforced my belief that people are often more resilient than they realize. My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to build on your strengths. Whether you are working through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I am here to help you develop the tools and confidence to move forward.

I understand that making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or everyday life struggles; we can work together to help you reach your highest potential. I know we can feel stuck, our minds constantly overthinking, which leaves us feeling emotionally exhausted. I aim to help adults on this journey called life by learning coping skills, changing negative thinking patterns, and improve self-esteem. I believe in using a whole-self approach, finding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. I focus on creating a safe space for you to truly heal, grow, and build insight. Through compassion, reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will walk along side you every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, where I specialized in the Psychology of Trauma. I support individuals of all ages in processing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to, substance use disorder and various patterns of addiction, intimate partner issues, trauma, both current and past involving families and work environments, depression, self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.

As a millennial or gen Z woman, you've probably become quite skilled at explaining away your own needs so that others can feel more comfortable. On the outside you look like you are doing fine, but inside loneliness, uncertainty, and self-doubt tell a different story. I specialize in clients who are tired of surviving in silence and are ready to start living. Together we will explore past and present experiences to deepen your self-understanding and nurture healing.

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm excited about the potential of working with you in developing a sense of integration and resilience in your life. Are you feeling stuck? Dissatisfied in your relationships and/or work? Disconnected from a sense of deeper purpose? Feel that there is the potential for greater richness and joy in life, but it is just out of reach? Rooted in a compassionate curiosity, our work would explore these themes through inquiry into the dynamic between your conscious, unconscious, somatic, and relational self. 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. From a somatic, psychodynamic approach we will focus on the connection between the body and the mind, and how emotions and past experiences can be stored in the body and affect an your mental and physical well-being. Through the use of techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based exercises, you will become more aware of your physical sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts and emotions. This may also include exploring early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and past traumas, as well as working through issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

I have been in practice for 30 years. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and healing, and I am committed to being your partner in this process. Together, we can work towards understanding the factors that contribute to your current feelings or challenges and identify actionable steps to help you move forward. Your comfort and well-being are my priorities, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Let’s explore how we can work together to enhance your quality of life and achieve your goals.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working in the field for 20 years. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2005 and have worked with many different populations throughout my career. I primarily have focused on treating depression, anxiety, grief and trauma but also have experience working with patients with mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I work with youth, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is direct, compassionate, and individualized. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be holding you back, build insight, and develop practical coping strategies. I’m especially passionate about helping clients strengthen relationships, improve communication, and navigate change with confidence and clarity. I take a holistic approach to mental health, addressing the connection between mind and body. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, I help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns. Together, we build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support lasting, meaningful change. I provide clients with practical tools for growth while offering education on emotional regulation and long-term healing. I’m committed to challenging mental health stigma and creating a safe, welcoming space for all. I also offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit.

I am a down-to-earth and collaborative therapist who believes that the foundation of effective healing is a genuine, honest connection. I prioritize creating a transparent environment where you feel heard and respected, allowing us to work as true partners in your mental health journey. My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy is most effective when it is practical, straightforward, and focused on your unique reality. In our sessions, I value honesty and the identification of healthy, realistic goals. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where we work together to uncover the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying irrational thinking patterns and challenging negative self-talk, we can begin to reframe your narrative in a way that serves your growth rather than hindering it. I understand that starting therapy can feel like a significant step, which is why I focus on providing a non-judgmental space where we can tackle challenges at your pace. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, daily stress, or life transitions, my goal is to provide you with a functional toolkit of strategies you can use long after our sessions end. Together, we will move toward a more balanced, resilient, and fulfilling life.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist supporting individuals navigating trauma, crisis, addiction, anxiety, life transitions, and unresolved conflict. I work with those who feel overlooked or misunderstood, including first responders, trauma survivors, recently hospitalized, individuals with complex PTSD, postpartum depression, or other mental health diagnoses. I hope to help you better understand how you view the world and yourself. My approach is whole-person centered, exploring the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of your experience. Together, we’ll build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve spent years feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns. You may be carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, people-pleasing, or narcissistic abuse while trying to hold everything together on the outside. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and healing is possible. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, relationship wounds, and the lasting impact of narcissistic or emotionally abusive partner or parent/childhood relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — constantly overthinking, walking on eggshells, questioning themselves, or feeling emotionally drained. Together, we work to help you feel safer in your body, more confident in your boundaries, and more connected to who you truly are. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood without judgment. I believe therapy should feel supportive and empowering, not clinical or cold. I integrate evidence-based approaches while also focusing deeply on emotional safety, self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you are recovering from trauma, navigating difficult partner relationships, struggling with anxiety, or trying to rebuild your sense of self after emotional abuse, therapy can help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace. You do not have to continue carrying this alone. Reaching out for help takes courage. If you’re ready to begin healing and creating healthier patterns, I’d be honored to support you.

Hi, I'm Amanda, and I help people who are exhausted from fighting their mind finally find some peace with it. By the time most people find me, they're worn down — not just by the symptoms themselves, but by the effort of holding it all together. Capable on the outside. Exhausted on the inside. Wondering if this is just who they are. That’s not the whole story I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual work with adults, parents, and caregivers. Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of people as they moved from survival mode to a life that actually feels like their own. I hold a Master's degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and I bring both the clinical depth of that training and the wisdom of real-world practice to every session. My approach is collaborative and personalized — because you're not a diagnosis or a checklist, and therapy shouldn't feel like one. I'm a creative thinker by nature, and I use that to bring fresh perspectives to our work together, while also providing the structure and direction that meaningful progress requires. In our early sessions, we'll take time to understand what's really going on and build a clear, intentional plan that makes sense for your life. Most of my clients notice a real, positive shift within the first month. A steady, meaningful life isn't something other people get to have. It belongs to you, too. If you're ready to stop managing and start actually living, I'd love to connect.

My clients have tried many different ways to help themselves but need fresh eyes and someone who can help them change their perspectives about the things they can change and let go of the things they can not change. It is a collaborative relationship where we find what works for you! I welcome you to work with me, so you can move on from the issues that are getting in the way of your living the life you want.

By coming upon this page, you could be feeling stuck, dissatisfied, or unfulfilled with your current position or path in life, thus considering a new direction. I hold the belief that therapy can assist in managing the frustration of life’s detours, rerouting one’s path, and/or navigating to new destinations. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families. I see clients who have eating disorders, mood disorders, trauma, grief & loss, family planning/(in)fertility issues, and/or self-harm behaviors. I also support couples and families to increase their understanding, communication, and connection. I aim to collaborate with you on developing a road map for your goals while engaging with curiosity, a non-judgmental stance, and encouragement.
