I get it, life can be freaking hard sometimes — full of highs, lows, and everything in between. It’s completely normal to feel like it’s all too much. But here’s the truth: there is nothing wrong with you, and you don’t need to be “fixed.” Feeling lost or stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It simply means you’re navigating the complexities of life and your human experience. You are worthy of support as you move through life’s challenges. Whether you’re seeking relief from trauma, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, struggles with self-esteem, or a major life transition—or simply trying to find yourself again—you deserve the space to do deep inner work and uncover what is waiting to heal within you. I know it can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone I’m here to offer a safe space where you can show up as your full self and feel truly seen, heard, and held through it all. I’ll hype you up, keep it real, and probably make you laugh—all while helping you connect the dots in ways you have not explored. I'll encourage you to feel because healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about feeling, releasing, and reclaiming your power. As a holistic therapist, I see you as so much more than a set of symptoms.I see the whole you. Your mind, body, soul, and spirit are all deeply connected, and true healing happens when we honor all parts of you. Together, we’ll develop compassion and resilience while creating space for healing and lasting change.

This is YOUR JOURNEY and YOU DESERVE specialized support …Are you having trouble functioning in your environment while experiencing unproductive thoughts/feelings/actions? Are your emotions working against you; controlling you, keeping you from experiencing the relationships and the life that you want for yourself? Are you trapped inside your mental health diagnosis? So many mental health challenges are rooted in past events and in fears of the future. How would you feel if past events didn't have a hold on your thoughts/feelings/actions in a negative way? How would it feel to be in charge of your responses to thoughts and feelings? I work with folks experiencing mild to moderate mental health challenges. My approach to therapy is individualized to you, as I utilize interventions from multiple theoretical orientations to fit your desired outcomes. I provide an emotionally safe space for sharing your truth. Let me sit beside you as you journey to yourself. I graduated from CSU, Sacramento with my Master of Social Work and from UC, Davis with my Bachelor's in Psychology.

Hi! I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation—not a performance. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor into the room, and I work best with people who are ready to get curious about themselves—even if they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Before becoming a therapist, I earned a BFA in Film & Television Production, and I especially enjoy working with creatives and folks in non-traditional careers—but ultimately, I love supporting people from all walks of life. Before shifting to telehealth, I worked in residential treatment with individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction—an experience that deeply shaped my compassionate, non-judgmental approach. My style is collaborative and flexible, drawing from CBT, solution-focused therapy, ACT, and person-centered methods to meet you where you are. Outside of therapy, you can usually find me hanging out with my husband and our dogs, listening to and discovering new music, making playlists, going to shows, making jewelry, passionately cheering on my favorite sports teams, or catching a movie on the big screen. I know life can feel like a lot sometimes—and I’m here to help you sort through it, at your pace, with no judgment and a little humor when it helps.

Hello, I am Afsheen Izadi, but I go by Bruce. I have been working as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2013 and have worked with many different populations. Growing up, I observed people putting more emphasis on their physical wellbeing and ignoring their psychological and emotional wellbeing. I see that they are interconnected and we were only treating a part of the problem. I did some introspection and decided that I didn't want to simply "survive," but live a good life. Then I realized I don't just want this for myself--I want to make this possible for others.

Hello my name is Ojuky and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. As your therapist I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll explore what you need, identify what’s not working, and create a path that feels right for you. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but taking this step shows your courage and commitment to becoming the best version of yourself. My approach looks at the whole person—we’ll consider every aspect of your life and well-being. I also love weaving your interests and hobbies into our sessions, whether that’s art, movement, or other activities that bring you joy. This is a space where you can feel safe, supported, and free to be vulnerable. My goal is to help you heal, grow, and overcome the challenges standing in your way—so you can step more fully into who you are meant to be.

Hi there and great job on taking that first step in considering if therapy is right for you. I invite you to come with me on a journey of your own choosing where we will walk together in darkness to find the light you’ve been seeking. Whether it’s life’s little annoying stressors or more complex issues, as a trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand what this is like and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Whether you choose me or another therapist, make the choice to just give it a try. Sometimes all you need is another person to hold the light while you do the work you need to heal.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/ family conflicts, parenting issues/postpartum, life transitions, immigration, eating concerns/body image, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space to explore, process, and understand your emotions, and I do so with a feminist, social justice, and humanistic lens. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. We may just as much explore your childhood and family of origin as we may identify concrete solutions to real-time problems. I love bringing in humor as appropriate. Therapy is challenging, and it takes a lot of courage to recognize "I need help." I hope to enter every session with an open mind and a nonjudgmental stance as we walk together through some of the most difficult moments in your life.

I am Andrea Marez. I attended the University of La Verne for my undergraduate degree and Simmons University for my Master's Degree in Social Work. I started my career by providing support to victims of domestic violence and have since branched out into working with individuals (children, adolescents and adults) with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and family relationships. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities throughout sessions depending on the client's needs, but specifically engage in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My hope for my clients is to work towards getting to know themselves better while using a client centered approach that is warm and empathetic. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach with my kids and husband and relaxing in the warm sun. I love trying new foods and truly abide by work-life balance. Contact me if you would like a free consultation and explore if this could be the right fit for you or a loved one. I am here to listen and provide the help and guidance you need to change negative behavior patterns and begin taking the steps in the right direction.
