Welcome. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California and Indiana. I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, transition and other life situations. If you need support, answers or just want to talk things through to better understand yourself and your choices I can help. I have experience with Jungian therapy, CBT and DBT as well as life transitions (what we might call grief work). With the current election you may have expectations, disappointments or just need to process. I welcome you in whatever part of the process you are in. I do require your intake form and measures completed and submitted before your first session. If you are unable to complete and submit by our first session, I will cancel and reschedule to give you enough time. I also use GROW AI for help with session note taking. I look forward to our work together. Welcome! Rachel

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience in mental health and clinical experience. I draw from 63 years of my own life experience as a gay man, educational (MSW from the University of Connecticut) and practical knowledge. Thus I understand what it’s like to be marginalized, and feel different like you don’t belong. I use a compassionate, non- judgmental, understanding, strength based approach by acknowledging and welcoming your whole person, body, mind, and spirit. I can help one understand who they are? where they've been? and how they can move forward in their life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth services to children, adolescents, and adults across California. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I have extensive experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and deeply value culturally responsive care. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from California State University, Los Angeles, where I also completed my Bachelor of Arts in Child Development. My education and clinical training provided a strong foundation in evidence based practices, lifespan development, and relational dynamics, which continue to guide the way I support my clients. I work with individuals and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and relationship stress. I support children and adolescents in strengthening emotional regulation and coping skills, while helping adults manage stress, burnout, and personal growth with greater confidence and clarity. I believe meaningful change begins with connection. I meet each client where they are, creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on building resilience, increasing self awareness, and helping you develop practical tools that you can use in your everyday life.

Hi, I'm Kristin Howard, an LA native who loves traveling, music, yoga, photography, dancing, and hiking. I began my journey towards becoming a therapist 16 years ago. I've had previous experience working for a suicide hotline, doing my traineeship at a high school, working with children, adolescents, and adults in community mental health, working with emerging adult population at private universities, and for a group private practice. I've had the opportunity to work with individuals dealing with relationship issues, life transition, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and identity/cultural concerns. What I love most about being a therapist is having the privilege to connect with some of the most incredible human beings and provide them a safe space to process any life challenges they're dealing with.

I've been a therapist for about eight years with a keen eye for helping others find deeper meaning through their hardships, a calming presence capable of modeling self-regulation, and a reliable ear for those that need to unload their perceived stress across different life chapters. I also offer a modern, diverse openness for cultural understanding as I am a male Latino fluent in Spanish, have Asian ethnicity, and am first-generation American. I can also empathize with perceived struggles as I grew up with low SES, was greatly affected by a custody battle into my teenage years, and became the primary healthcare agent for my father-figure until his passing from cancer during my early twenties. In more recent years, I learned the differences in transitioning from the role of a stepfather to becoming a father of a newborn. Understanding one's own pain from their story is key to learning the balancing act of validating and/or differentiating how to help others process their felt pain. I offer my therapeutic services as your existential teammate who will metaphorically walk by your side along your therapeutic journey.

Hello, my name is Yin. I am a bilingual (English/Cantonese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 24 years of clinical experience in mental health. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Senior Behavioral Health Clinician at Berkeley Mental Health. As an immigrant from Hong Kong, my journey to becoming a licensed therapist has been long and, at times, challenging. There is often an assumption that therapists have had perfect lives—secure attachments, harmonious families, and a clear path forward. My experience has been different. I have faced the pain of leaving loved ones behind and starting over in a new country, to feel lost within a stepfamily, and to move through loss, heartbreak, and trauma. These experiences have shaped who I am today and allow me to meet my clients with genuine understanding, empathy, and respect for their resilience and capacity to heal. I want you to know that healing is possible and within reach. It is both an honor and a privilege to support my clients, especially in places that I, too, have traveled emotionally. I work with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns, as well as the everyday challenges many people encounter—such as feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed by guilt, shame, conflict, or anxiety. Many of the clients I support struggle with depression or anxiety, which are often rooted in past trauma or deeper, unexamined emotional conflicts.

I believe a good clinician is a moldable one — someone who adapts to the person in front of them rather than fitting people into a fixed approach. My work is collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on yourself. Together, we explore the patterns, stories, and relational blueprints that have shaped how you see yourself and the world — and we work to rewrite the ones that no longer serve you. I work with individuals and couples across the lifespan, and I am proudly affirming of the LGBTQIA+, kink, and BDSM communities. I specialize in trauma, identity, depression, anxiety, relationships, and sexual health, and I bring the same nonjudgmental, culturally humble approach to every client I see. I also offer faith-integrated counseling for those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their healing. Whether you arrive ready to dive in or full of resistance — I'll meet you where you are. I am bilingual and bicultural, and welcome clients who move between both languages and worlds.

With over 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I offer a grounded, relational, and thoughtful approach to therapy. I have worked across diverse clinical settings and with individuals from a wide range of cultural, social, and life backgrounds. This breadth of experience allows me to adapt my work to the unique needs, values, and goals of each client rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, respect, and emotional safety. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or unsure where to begin. My role is to create a space where you feel supported enough to explore what is happening beneath the surface, while also developing clarity and direction. Rather than focusing on “fixing” problems, I help clients build insight, emotional capacity, and practical tools that support lasting change. My work is informed by evidence-based practices and shaped by a deep appreciation for the human and relational aspects of healing. I value authenticity, trust, and attunement in the therapeutic relationship, and I believe meaningful change occurs when clients feel genuinely understood.

Trauma and PTSD
Hello, I’m Kayleigh Eden, a California-licensed clinical social worker and somatic therapist. My work centers grief, trauma, attachment, and the nervous system — and how healing becomes more possible when we remember that we exist in animal bodies in relationship with a living world. I specialize in working with grief in its many forms, including death, heartbreak, estrangement, developmental trauma, and the quieter grief of disconnection from self, body, and belonging. I am deeply informed by Somatic Experiencing and relational, trauma-informed care, and I approach therapy as a collaborative, embodied process rather than something to “fix.” I believe healing is nonlinear and moves in cycles of expansion and contraction. In our work together, we tend the nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and gently release patterns shaped by fear, shame, and survival. Sessions may include talk therapy, body awareness, values exploration, and creative reflection, all paced with care and attunement. My style is warm, grounded, and deeply relational. I hold space for both shadow and light, honoring the courage it takes to feel, remember, and choose yourself again. I believe love, pleasure, creativity, and connection are not luxuries, but essential medicines. If you are longing for greater safety in your body, clarity in your relationships, and a deeper sense of belonging and wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Over the past nine years, I’ve supported individuals and families across diverse clinical settings, including schools, private practice, and NGOs globally. My work centers on helping clients reconnect with their authentic Self by gently exploring the uncharted terrain of the inner world. I believe that true transformation begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what our symptoms, patterns, and longings are asking of us. Therapy with me isn’t about finding quick solutions. It’s about being witnessed in your vulnerability, meeting yourself with compassion, and remembering who you are beneath the protective layers that once kept you safe. Whether you're navigating grief, relational pain, life transitions, or the quiet ache of disconnection, I offer a grounded, compassionate space for deep inquiry and healing. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out. We can begin with a conversation and explore what’s possible.

I started helping those who are seeking to up-level their experiences and shine as their true and authentic selves in 2019. My journey first started in residential treatment facilities where I held space for those in early recovery from substance use disorders. This population ranged from men's only, women's only and LGBTQ+ Many of these individuals also struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. I have also had the opportunity to work with adolescents at risk of sex trafficking. This work is extremely rewarding as the clients are at an age where they are most influential and willing. I am a deeply spiritual person and practice in the study of yoga and meditation and participate in somatic healings such as Kundalini Light Intergration (KALI) and breathworks. I am also a level two Reiki practitioner (training to become a master) and a certified personal trainer. When I am not holding space for healing, I enjoy being in the outdoors, surfing, climbing, reading and cooking nutritious and fun to eat meals. I hope to continue the journey of providing a safe space for individuals where healing can occur for years to come. I offer sessions both early in the morning (5am - 7am) and later in the evening (6pm - 9pm) to accommodate those who work nine to five or those who just prefer early morning or evening therapy sessions.

And yet something still feels stuck, like there is a layer underneath the thinking that no amount of insight seems to reach. I'm Joanna, a licensed therapist in Long Beach, CA. I work with folks who are anxious, burned out, or carrying the weight of past experiences and are ready to try something that goes deeper than just talking about it. Using body-based techniques alongside conversation, I help people shift patterns they have been trying to change for years.

If you are feeling stuck, and unable to make changes in your life, you're not alone. Whether it's in your professional life, your personal life, or both, feeling unsuccessful at doing life may affect your mood, your outlook, and your health. Repeated frustration and disappointment can lead to depression, anxiety, problems sleeping, etc. For 20 years, I have worked with people to help them unlearn negative behaviors and thinking patterns, replacing them with new habits and ideas that support the changes they want to make. Through experiencing success, most people find a new sense of accomplishment that improves their mood, enabling them to take better care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, Deciding to enter into therapy is an important decision. I believe that it can be a major turning point in your life, and by working through a modality that considers your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, you are very likely to achieve the quality of life that you are seeking.
