Hi, I’m Ms. Denee, a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Licensed since 2019 with over 25 years of experience supporting Individuals through life’s emotional, relational, and personal challenges. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship stress, grief and loss, burnout, motherhood, and major life transitions. My practice is rooted in creating a warm, supportive, and culturally aware space where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and empowered. I am especially passionate about supporting women of color as they navigate the unique pressures, expectations, and lived experiences that can impact emotional wellness, identity, relationships, and self-worth—while also welcoming women of all cultures, identities, and experiences into the therapeutic process. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and solution-focused, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, coaching, and practical skill-building to help bridge the gap between insight, motivation, and meaningful change. With compassion, authenticity, humor, and direct support, I strive to help clients gain clarity, build confidence, strengthen emotional resilience, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Hello, my name is Miaisha. Are you seeking a supportive space where you can be authentic and receive meaningful guidance? If so, you have come to the right place. I believe everyone deserves an environment where they feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported.
I am a compassionate and culturally responsive Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life transitions, manage stressors, and develop greater self-awareness. I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and affirming space where your experiences are acknowledged and respected, while fostering growth in confidence, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
I invite you to take the first step toward your well-being. You do not have to navigate this process alone. In our work together, you will be encouraged to take an active and empowered role in your therapeutic journey, while I provide guidance, clinical insight, and ongoing support. Together, we will develop a path forward that honors your unique experiences and aligns with your personal goals.
I provide individual and family therapy with a trauma-informed, culturally attuned approach. My work weaves together evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, and psychodynamics theory with deep compassion and intuition. As someone who values both emotional healing and spiritual growth, I help clients untangle the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with their inner resilience. At the heart of my work is a simple intention to help you heal, grow, and move forward with more clarity, strength, and hope.

¡Hola! Soy una terapeuta licenciada en matrimonio y familia (LMFT) con base en California. Obtuve mi maestría en la Universidad Estatal de California, Fullerton, y he estado ejerciendo durante 4 años. Sin embargo, he trabajado en el campo de la salud mental desde 2017.

I am a psychotherapist who has experience working with adults, couples, children and families. My professional background includes work in social service agencies in both clinical and community roles, as well as in private group practice. I approach my work with admiration and sensitivity to the vulnerability that individuals bring to the therapeutic process. I view therapy as an opportunity for personal growth. It is my privilege to offer guidance in this process.
I work with clients who are experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, family/relationship issues, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from an array of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, and Child Parent Psychotherapy.

I’m Alana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles. I work with young adults and women who are navigating major life transitions and feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

These experiences shaped a treatment approach that is thoughtful, flexible, and deeply attuned to the whole person.
I believe meaningful therapy goes beyond symptom management and focuses on understanding the root causes of distress. My style is warm yet direct, grounded, and collaborative. Clients often share that they feel relief early on—because they finally feel understood. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to help you reconnect with your strengths, build clarity and confidence, and feel more in control of your life again.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nearly two decades of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2007 and have been licensed since 2011. Over the past 19 years, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, and in 2021 I opened my private practice—an experience I have deeply enjoyed, particularly the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term therapeutic relationships with adult clients.
I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and recovery from trauma. My clinical work is grounded in the belief that healing and growth happen within safe, supportive relationships. I am especially passionate about helping individuals develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others while learning tools to manage stress, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of past experiences.
My path into this work was shaped early on by my family. Growing up with a psychologist and a public health nurse as parents, I was surrounded by values of service, compassion, and care for others. From a young age, I knew I wanted a career centered on connection, support, and uplifting people during difficult moments in their lives.
Before entering private practice, I spent many years working in county-contracted, nonprofit agencies throughout California, serving adults, children, and families from historically underserved communities. This work deeply informed my clinical perspective and strengthened my commitment to providing accessible, culturally responsive, and respectful care. Today, I bring that same dedication, experience, and heart into my private practice, offering a warm, collaborative, and supportive space for clients seeking healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Welcome! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents and adults navigating life's challenges. I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous step and I'm committed to providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported . I enjoy working with individuals who are navigating life stressors, major life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges and the emotional adjustments that come with becoming a new parent. My therapeutic approach is supportive and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, manage stress more effectively and reconnect with the version of themselves they want to be.
Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s emotional and relational challenges. I often work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship or family conflict, perinatal health (including fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum), parenting, immigration stress, body image struggles, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and existential questioning.
I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions, understand your experiences, and feel truly heard. My work is guided by a feminist, social justice, and humanistic perspective, which means I aim to honor your unique story while recognizing the broader systems and experiences that shape our lives.
In our work together, we may explore past experiences—such as childhood and family dynamics—to better understand patterns that still affect you today. We will also focus on practical tools and strategies to help you navigate current challenges. I often incorporate evidence-based approaches like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Therapy can be challenging, and it takes courage to say, “I need help.” I strive to meet every client with openness, compassion, and a nonjudgmental perspective. I also believe that moments of humor and lightness can be an important part of the healing process. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move through difficult moments and towards greater self-understanding and authenticity.
To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.
You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want.
I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.
Hi, I’m Brittany, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I help adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Many of my clients are high-functioning but stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, or burnout. I take a collaborative, practical approach using evidence-based tools to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to manage daily stress and life changes over time.
My dream client is a high-functioning woman who appears to be managing it all—but inside, she’s carrying the weight of anxiety, pressure, and deep emotional overwhelm. She might be navigating a major life transition like divorce, a career pivot, role change ,motherhood, fertility challenges, menopause or beginning or ending a career.. She may be successful on paper yet struggling to maintain boundaries, meet others’ expectations, or feel truly connected to herself. She could be facing workplace discrimination, identity shifts, or silently asking, “When is it my turn to exhale?”
Many women seem to have it all but underneath often the wheels are coming off in are ever changing world where everybody often wants it now. I hope to help you to make your cup runneth over rather than droplets remaining.

I work best with women who are insightful, motivated for change, and ready to explore the roots of their stress—not just cope, but understand. Using an integrative blend of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy, I offer a collaborative, empowering space where clients can slow down, reflect, and build tools for realignment—emotionally, mentally, and authentically.

Life is weird, and having help can help.
As a therapist, I tend to be both challenging and supportive. I am focused on real and genuine relationships with folks that help people choose how to define their goals in terms of what is important to them. I care a lot about the people who work with me, and I think that comes across in my relationships. As I am sure you can see via the Grow reviews, I am honest and direct, qualities I find many people appreciate in a therapeutic relationship but I also understand those are not for everyone.
Therapy can also be hard work, but that doesn't mean it has to be a hard time. I've been in the field long enough to know how normal having problems is. The people I work with appreciate that therapy can be a place to laugh, cry, and sometimes both at the same time.
In terms of modalities, a lot of the work I do centers on the therapeutic relationship, with elements of narrative work, CBT, person-centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and general talk therapy.
I don't use Grow's AI transcription, and I didn't use AI to write this, if that is important to you to know.
