Therapists in California

My name is Dion Davis, originally from Santa Barbara County. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a thriving private practice in downtown Los Angeles. I have worked with diverse populations, such as survivors of trauma and abuse, blended families, foster parents, couples (dating, engaged, and married), adults with substance/sex addiction, mood disorders, and elder adults/seniors. My communication style is empathetic, incorporating positive language and active listening.

I approach therapy with warmth, honesty, and compassion. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported enough to explore difficult experiences while also feeling gently challenged to grow. I care deeply about creating a therapeutic relationship where people feel respected, understood, and able to approach difficult parts of their lives with curiosity rather than judgment. Outside of therapy, I enjoy paddle boarding in the summer, long conversations with loved ones over a leisurely meal, and just about anything related to musical theater. I’m also a big fan of ceramics and afternoon naps—two things that help me stay grounded and appreciate small moments of creativity and rest.

Hello, my name is Brigitta. I empower individuals to take back their lives by identifying their strengths, identity, and learn useful skills to help develop a future with hope and expectation. Together, we will explore what is making you stuck by utilizing a holistic approach and address issues of the mind, body, and spirit to strengthen you as an individual. I utilize elements of various modalities with each individual to find out where the wounds began, to close the doors to an unresolved past, to reframe negative core beliefs and its maladaptive influence, and to work towards healthy goals for your future. I can integrate faith-based counseling to build resilience and hope at your request. Our sessions will be a place of safety, growth, and rejuvenation for your soul. I will meet you with a non-judgmental and compassionate approach. As we build our therapeutic relationship, the process of healing and restoration will come. I cannot wait to meet you!

“True Peace comes from within, despite the chaos around us.” Pain and brokenness are an inevitable part of life. My therapy approach is holistic and incorporates the exploration of cultural, generational, and spiritual components which may be affecting you and your relationships. My goal is to work with you to develop congruence and balance in your intrapersonal (within self) and interpersonal (between self and others) experiences. Whatever the struggle, I will walk alongside you to help find solutions and promote growth in your life. I have been working in this field for 13 years and have focused on family conflict, relationship distress, anxiety/depression and childhood issues. I have a multicultural background which allows me to understand the complexities of cultural issues that often cause challenges in people's relationships and lives. Strong families are the foundation for a healthy society. That is why I am especially passionate about supporting individuals in learning effective ways to relate to their family members while dealing with the chaotic situations that life brings.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience across diverse settings, which has shaped my deep understanding of people, trauma, and the pathways to true healing and restoration. My work has allowed me to walk alongside individuals in some of their most vulnerable moments and support meaningful, lasting change. For several years, I served in a church setting as a lay counselor, where I integrated a Biblical perspective into counseling. Through this work, I have seen how faith-informed care can bring profound healing to the whole person—mind, body, and soul. I believe that when spiritual insight and clinical understanding come together, clients can experience deep inner renewal and freedom. I have also worked in a psychiatric hospital, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary treatment teams in high-acuity environments. This experience strengthened my clinical skills and gave me firsthand insight into what truly helps individuals stabilize, heal, and regain hope during times of crisis. In my practice, I primarily use Solution-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-based modalities, thoughtfully tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to help you identify strengths, move through trauma, and find practical tools for growth—while creating a safe, compassionate space for inner healing. I work with individuals seeking healing from trauma, emotional pain, and life challenges, and with those who desire faith-integrated care. Together, we will focus on restoration, clarity, and lasting change so you can move forward with purpose and wholeness.

Together, we’ll strengthen your emotional tools and deepen your sense of worth, guiding you toward a more connected, confident, and fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Fontana, CA. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in Malibu in 2020. I work with various age groups to help them find healing, manage their symptoms, and achieve their treatment goals- and I am so honored to be part of that process with my clients.

Hola, My name is Rosa Hernandez. I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, California, offering telehealth services to make support accessible and comfortable. I see therapy as a truly collaborative journey. Together, we work to deepen your self-awareness, explore new perspectives, ease difficult symptoms, and strengthen the qualities you already possess so you can experience life with more clarity, connection, and meaning. My style is warm, engaging, and grounded in treating every person with dignity and respect. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to fit you. I believe that when we join forces to shift patterns that no longer serve you, real, life-changing growth becomes possible. My goal is to walk alongside you on your path of understanding, healing, and continued personal growth, supporting you every step of the way.

Hi! Hola! Welcome to my page! I'm a bilingual, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from Notre Dame de Namur University in Clinical Psychology and have been practicing for 8 years. I enjoy working with families, youth, and adults navigating through life challenges that include grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, generational relational trauma, and life stress.

Hi there! My name is Lara Manoukian, and I am eager to start working with you! I find a great sense of purpose and fulfillment in being a Marriage and Family Therapist, and I always hope that the therapeutic relationship I have with my clients promotes healing, connection, and empowerment. I utilize a wide variety of interventions to meet my client where they're at and take things at their pace. My goal as a therapist is to be a mirror for my client, reflect their goals back to them, and connect the dots alongside them. I will never pretend like I know more about your life than you do, but I will help you uncover habits, beliefs, and feelings that are not aligned with who you want to be. I believe it takes internal bravery and external support to examine the parts of ourselves that are much easier to ignore. My ultimate goal is for our therapeutic space to be a place where you can feel safe to question, challenge, and redesign your life into something that is authentic to who you are. Through my use of different evidence-based practices and genuine empathy, I truly believe we can get you where you want to be.
