Hi, my name is Heather.
Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to focus due to life transitions or constant demands? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, school, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself and set healthy boundaries?
I help adolescents and adults manage anxiety and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We will collaborate and use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga and nature therapy to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and those around you.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but we all need extra support sometimes. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and I would be honored to come alongside you in your journey. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together! *** I will be accepting new referrals again in August!***

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 am a LMFT from Los Angeles, California. Welcome! So you're taking the step to look for a therapist, that is awesome! It's a big step and could be overwhelming with all the options you have. Sometimes, making the first move can feel especially overwhelming if you are the first in your family or community to seek therapy or if you are trying it for the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time.
Therapy should be a space where you are able to be your true self. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Life happens, and sometimes we feel that we have no choice or are being pulled by relationships, work and health. But I believe the greatest power you have, is CHOICE. The choice to choose, and create infinite possibilities. Every choice leads us towards a different journey, direction in our lives and you are the expert.
I will come to sessions as my authentic self, so you can feel free to do so as well. I work with a limited number of individuals because I want to be able to provide high-quality and specialized care for each person I meet. I want to meet you where you are and work together to support you in reaching your personal goals. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming life experiences, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. Let's work together and create the life you choose!

Hello, I'm Nellie Finn. I have extensive training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I view my role as your mental health coach, who is here to share tools, feedback and support that will help you build your resilience, deal with challenges and manage your reactions to daily stressors. Yes, stress is part of everyday life but learning healthy coping strategies will help you feel empowered and ready to take on whatever life throws at you.
Utilizing a Solution Focused approach, together we will have a goal-oriented focus to problem-solving. This approach will move you away from feeling helpless to feeling hopeful and inspired. Solution Focused goals are set up incrementally, so you build on your success. Regardless of how small the success, it is worth celebrating each step of the way, at each session meeting.
I have many years of successful counseling experience supporting a diverse population of individuals from ages 18 thru 84. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds. I understand the challenges many of us are facing with trying to balance personal needs, cultural challenges, developmental stages, relationships, partners, family, single life, married life, financial stress, career-building (career set-backs & toxic work cultures), high demand careers (law, nursing, education...) parenting, fertility issues, and modern dating. With unwavering optimistic positive support, I am here to help you feel listened to, supported and appreciated. For me, it is an honor to support you on your journey to feel better.

In this world, we face trials and challenges of various kinds that can leave us feeling confused, disheartened, anxious, lost, and sometimes even hopeless. Know that you are not alone and certainly do not have to face these struggles alone. Using an integrative and goal-oriented approach, I strive to walk alongside those seeking healing, growth, and transformational change. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self-concept, and relationship issues. I have also supported couples toward restoration and reconciliation, resolving communication and marital issues.
I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and biblical counseling. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman's Rapoport Intervention, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to empower clients to challenge irrational beliefs, communicate and manage emotions, needs, thoughts, and behaviors in a healthier, more realistic way.
I recognize the importance of faith and spirituality and how it can largely impact one's worldview. I offer Christian/Biblical counseling to those seeking faith integration in the therapeutic journey. Finding a good fit for a therapist is crucial for the healing process and could feel like a tiring task. Don't hesitate to reach out for a free virtual consultation - I look forward to the privilege to support you!

I approach our first session with wanting to know exactly where you are and what you need today. This is because people usually book a therapy session with an issue in mind, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that if you are motivated to change your mindset and ready to work on yourself, that you will feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on.
We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- find it on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble, "The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness."
I offer you my podcast- "All Things Therapy," which can be found on iTunes and Spotify. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 410 episodes for you to dig into.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adult individuals with attachment and developmental trauma, PTSD recent traumatic events, and anxiety using mind-body approaches and attachment informed EMDR via telehealth.
I've noticed that a lot of people with trauma and anxiety seem to benefit from using attachment-informed EMDR and parts work approaches that help you get to know the inner parts of yourself. Using a combination of these approaches can help with resolving inner conflict, connecting that sense of the "inner child" to healing and resources, and increasing inner strength and a sense of agency in your life decisions. I will use guided imagery in therapy and like to focus on the mind and body connection.

Growing up, the topic of mental health was a discussion that was frowned upon. At a young age, I noticed the cycles of trauma and fear to express oneself were continuously passed on, which essentially creates a limited environment for a person to thrive and grow. My passion for therapy grew as I learned about the stigmas in mental health. Through personal and professional experiences, I can assist my clients with navigating the different spaces and people that one encounters in life.
My goal is to explore childhood and trauma, eliminating maladaptive coping by learning and acquiring an array of skills, focusing on strengths, and developing strong communication skills to maintain self-respect and advocate for your needs.

I believe that therapy can heal, but I also know that telling a stranger about your deepest pain can be a strange feeling. Perhaps you've been feeling sad, depressed or worried, and hopeless that anything in your life can change. Or maybe you aren't sure what you would even want help with. You know you feel bad, but if someone were to ask you "How can I help?", you aren't sure what you would say.
These problems can feel permanent and unsolvable. After all, something feels broken and unfixable, so how could you not feel that it takes all the energy you have just to get up in the morning and go about your day? Depression or anxiety can also feel isolating, as if nobody else could possibly understand. You may have even received advice from people who you feel mean well but can't understand what you're going through.
Depression and anxiety are not permanent or unfixable, and therapy can help. Imagine feeling peace of mind, and excited about life and its possibilities. It starts by learning about you and going at your pace. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 16 years experience working with adults and teens, I've seen therapy work, and I feel lucky that I get to be part of that journey for others.

My clinical approach is aligned with "Radical Healing Theory," which encompasses a holistic approach to healing beyond physical health and addresses the underlying causes of suffering and inequality. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of various social, economic, political, and environmental systems and their impact on individual and collective well-being.
Radical healing is rooted in critical theory and social justice frameworks. It challenges traditional notions of health and healing by centering marginalized voices and experiences. It seeks to dismantle oppressive structures and promote equity, justice, and liberation.

I specialize in certain mental health diagnoses including personality disorders, postpartum issues, depression/anxiety, self harm/suicidal ideation.

My specialty is in mental health and substance use (dual diagnosis). I am DBT certified. I have worked with individuals impacted by cycles of trauma, violence, and substances in various settings including psychiatric hospitals, county jail, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics. My mission? Help people THRIVE and be SEEN/HEARD despite these circumstances.

What I provide is a safe and warm space where you can explore your needs, current feelings, history, and goals. You have the power to stop fighting what is out of your control, and harness your power to control what is just within your grasp.
