Christopher Law

Having been married for 50 years and raised four children to adulthood, I bring a wealth of life experience to the therapeutic relationship.  There are so many challenges with marriage and raising a family, undergoing therapy myself (both individual and couple) has helped me through many difficult times, and I know what it takes make significant changes in my life.  I love animals, and i have two dogs who bring me joy every day.  My children and  seven grandchildren are very important to my life.   One of the benefits of being an older therapist is that I have overcome many of the obstacles that my clients face, and for even those I have not experienced,  my clients benefit from the life skills I have developed.

Nazar Flome

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and families. I began my work in community-based public mental health, serving underserved populations, and that foundation continues to shape how I show up today—with care, respect, and a real understanding of life’s complexities. My background includes working with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma, so I’m comfortable supporting both early or emerging concerns and ongoing mental health conditions. I’ve worked extensively with low-income communities, immigrants, and individuals from diverse cultural and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. I also have a strong background working with mothers, particularly single mothers, who are navigating their own mental health while supporting children or adult children with their own challenges. My approach is collaborative and strength-based—I focus on helping you build on what’s already working while developing practical tools you can use in your daily life. I aim to create a space that is calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental, where you can show up as you are, speak openly, and process what you’re going through while also building practical tools to better navigate everyday life.

Jesse De La Torre

Are you someone who seems thoughtful, capable, and self-aware on the outside, but inside feels overwhelmed, lonely, stuck, or exhausted from carrying more than most people can see? Do you find yourself caught in the same painful relationship dynamics, shame, anxiety, or self-doubt despite all your efforts to understand and improve things?

Many LGBTQIA+ clients know what it is like to carry pain quietly after years of adapting to environments where they could not fully relax into themselves. I work primarily with gay men and couples to help them make sense of these experiences, deepen self-understanding, and reclaim their power. 

If you’re ready to move beyond simply getting by and want support that feels affirming, thoughtful, and engaged, I invite you to reach out and schedule a first session.

In this setting I supported a wide range of populations such as, teens, adults, families and couples.

Hi, I’m Marguerite. I am a holistic, somatic, and trauma informed therapist based in Los Angeles. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and identify as Black and Afro-Latina. Having lived in Guatemala, Spain, Costa Rica, Massachusetts, Michigan, and South Los Angeles, I bring a deep appreciation for the ways culture, identity, family systems, and social environments shape emotional well-being.

My approach is anti-oppressive and trauma-informed. I am committed to creating an affirming and compassionate space where clients can explore the connection between their inner world and external experiences, including relationships, family dynamics, systemic stress, and the broader social issues. I believe therapy can support clients in feeling more grounded, empowered, and aligned in their lives.

As a somatic therapist, I support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, developing emotional regulation skills, and strengthening self-trust. I often work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they cultivate greater clarity, peace, and resilience through mindfulness, self-compassion, and values-based decision making.

Clients are the experts on their own lives. I see therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s lived experience, strengths, and capacity for growth.

Outside of therapy, I am a professional singer and am forming a band this year. I enjoy being with friends, playing piano, attending dance classes, walking my dog, and listening to to the latest R&B, Beyonce and Cardi B songs.

My integrative approach blends attachment-focused therapy, EMDR, trauma reprocessing, and insight-oriented depth psychology within a culturally affirming and relational framework. I offer a compassionate space for insight, healing, and meaningful change so you can live with greater freedom, authenticity, and emotional balance.

Violetta Babich

I run Unscripted Therapy, a practice focused on helping people break out of stuck patters.  

I work with individuals and couples who are tired of having the same conversations and somehow ending up right back where they started. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, something isn’t working—and at this point, that’s pretty clear.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and focused on actually changing what’s not working. I’m not going to just sit there nodding while you vent and then ask how that made you feel for the tenth time. We’ll figure out what’s keeping you stuck and start doing something different about it.

Therapy with me is honest, practical, and yes—sometimes a little blunt. But it’s also real. If you’re looking for something that actually helps you move forward (not just talk about why you’re stuck), we’ll probably be a good fit.

I often work with people facing life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, seeking clarity and a practical path forward. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s happening, and identify steps that help you move forward. If you’re going through a difficult season, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Jessica Huver

I am passionate about the impact of spirituality in mental health therapy.    As an attachment informed humanist LPCC, I consider the bio-psycho-social-spiritual/existential condition of the folks with whom I work.  Healing is a matter of integrating the disparate and fragmented parts of life.  Empathy, acceptance, positive regard, and genuineness are crucial elements for effective therapy and these are the characteristics I seek to cultivate in my practice.  As far as a specific toolkit, CBT and Motivational Interviewing are the primary evidence based methodologies I employ to be with people in their self-paced, goal oriented healing efforts. Those who want to examine the angst, anxiety, disquiet, and friction in their lives will find a fellow traveler in me.

My practice is built on the belief that meaningful change happens when we combine clinical excellence with a clear, values-driven vision for the future.

I specialize in supporting parents of children and adolescents who struggle with Emotional Dysregulation and problematic behaviors. I understand the exhaustion and isolation that can come with high-conflict household dynamics. To address this, I developed Family Systems Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (FS-DBT)—a model specifically designed to treat the family as a connected ecosystem, fostering collective growth rather than just individual symptom management.

Beyond family dynamics, I provide a safe, structured space for those experiencing faith crises or existential transitions. Whether you are deconstructing long-held beliefs or grappling with a loss of meaning, I help you navigate these "dark nights of the soul" by integrating clinical tools with a deep respect for your personal journey. My goal is to help you rebuild a life that feels authentic and anchored in your core truth.

Whether I am working with a couple seeking to repair their bond or a parent striving to de-escalate crisis behaviors, my approach is rooted in "beginning with the end in mind." We will collaborate on a comprehensive, practical plan designed to point you and your family toward your specific goals. I offer specialized individual psychotherapy and real-time phone coaching to ensure skills are applied in the moments they matter most. I am deeply passionate about this work, and I would love the opportunity to support your journey.

Dr. Matthew A Metcalf

Hi, I’m Helma.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist with a deep commitment to helping individuals understand themselves on a more meaningful level and move toward lasting emotional healing. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences, including trauma and attachment wounds.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and Compassionate Inquiry, which means we go beyond symptom relief and gently explore the deeper patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape your current life. Often, what feels confusing or overwhelming has deeper meaning beneath the surface. Together, we take the time to understand what’s really there, in a way that feels safe and supportive.
I also integrate client-centered and Gestalt approaches, creating a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly seen. I value authenticity and collaboration in therapy, and I meet you where you are. At times, I may incorporate practical tools, such as mindfulness or cognitive strategies, but my primary focus is helping you reconnect with your inner experience and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I am especially attuned to working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating identity, family dynamics, and intergenerational patterns.
My goal is to support you in gaining insight, feeling more grounded, and creating a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling.

Shireen Farsi

Hi, my name is Kate and I've been a therapist for 13 years. I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in which you can feel heard and understood. You might just need a safe space to talk about what you’re going through, or process past trauma. Or perhaps you need coping skills to help you manage work stress, relationship problems, or personal issues. Regardless of your presenting issue, I can help you find relief and give you tools to help you navigate your challenges.

Michelle Cashman

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, safe, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens through connection.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the emotional weight of caregiving, relationships, and work stress. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward — and together we create space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and build tools that actually fit your life.

Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, deepen self-compassion, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic. I strive to create a space that is nonjudgmental, affirming, and supportive of your unique story

My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine care. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and supported, while also being challenged to grow in ways that move you toward your best self.

Megan Collins

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and enjoy being a guide on your journey to find your spark again. I use a humanistic approach to better understand the whole picture of who you are, where you come from, and the life you want to live. Keeping a warm and healing space, let us talk about all the things and nothings because I will listen. You are heard. You are not alone. 
Everyone has a story, but not everyone has an audience.

Michelle Lee

Yes, life can be difficult, and you're here looking for help.  For 35 years I've helped people like you look at their lives.  I've helped them find ways to directly look at the pain, fear, anger, shame, depression, trauma, and other struggles that feel overwhelming.  More importantly, I've helped people move beyond today's focus on pain and struggle to discover new ways to manage their lives, to suffer less, to feel more space, trust, and aliveness.  

Max Miller

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support—whether for yourself or your child—can feel overwhelming. My hope is that from the very first conversation, you feel heard, understood, and not alone.

For more than 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting adolescents, women, and families as they navigate some of life’s most tender and challenging seasons. I specialize in adolescent mental health and maternal mental health, working with teens facing stress, school pressure, anger, friendship struggles, and identity development, as well as women moving through pregnancy, postpartum changes, motherhood transitions, and shifting family roles.

The teenage years and the journey into motherhood both bring profound change. They can be beautiful—and also exhausting, confusing, and isolating. I strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are: overwhelmed, uncertain, frustrated, hopeful, or all of the above. You don’t have to have the “right words.” You just have to show up.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent many years as a Division I athlete and coach. Those experiences gave me a deep understanding of pressure, performance expectations, resilience, and what it feels like to carry the weight of high standards—whether they come from others or from within. I connect especially well with teens who are driven, competitive, sensitive, or feel misunderstood, and with mothers who are juggling more than anyone sees.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Riverside, my master’s degree from the University at Buffalo in New York, and completed my counseling credential at California State University, San Bernardino. While my education provided the clinical tools to do this work, the greatest lessons have come from the adolescents and mothers who have trusted me with their stories.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. I also have extensive experience supporting Veterans and individuals managing complex life challenges.

In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.

Anika Muhammad

I’m a mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals who are in the process of finding themselves. I work with clients who may feel uncertain about their identity, direction, or sense of purpose, and who are ready to explore those questions in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

As a first-generation Latina and a mom, I bring both personal and professional insight into the therapy space. I understand the unique pressures that can come with navigating multiple roles, cultural expectations, and generational experiences. This perspective allows me to approach my work with cultural humility, empathy, and a deep respect for each client’s lived experience.

My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that our past experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world, and I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where you can better understand those patterns without feeling overwhelmed or judged. Together, we’ll explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical tools to support meaningful change.

Marla Gonzalez

It is always a privilege to partner with clients on their journey to improved mental health.  I work with clients to discover their value and process through past hurts and traumas.  I provide a safe place to process current and past issues and also provide psychoeducation so clients can learn new, healthy coping skills.  I refer to myself as a tour guide on the road to healing.

Misty England

My practice is built on the belief that everyone possesses the capacity for meaningful change. I view therapy as a truly collaborative, reciprocal, and flexible alliance. My goal is to provide a steady, supportive space. Having navigated multiple career journeys, I experienced the challenges and rewards of professionally starting over. I help clients re-author their personal narratives to find lasting growth and purpose. I am grateful to be part of a healing profession that promotes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. 

David Fujinaka

I offer a space where your pain can soften, your story can unfold gently, and you can be met with warmth and compassion without judgment. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, MI, mindfulness, and person-centered, holistic practices — not as rigid techniques, but as tools we weave into the moments when you need grounding, clarity, or a way to steady yourself. Over time, your voice gets stronger. Your patterns make more sense. And the parts of you that learned to survive begin to feel safe enough to soften.

Sequoia San Juan

Many of the people I work with are navigating postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts after having a baby, or the emotional stress of fertility treatment. These experiences can feel overwhelming and isolating, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside.

I’m Dr. Saira Jhutty, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, including postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts after having a baby, and the emotional challenges of fertility treatment. I work with individuals and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy after loss, third-party reproduction, and the complex transition into parenthood.

My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a strong focus on self-compassion and values-based living. Rather than trying to “fix” difficult emotions, we work together to understand them and find ways to move forward that feel sustainable — especially during times when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. Many of the people I work with feel exhausted, anxious, or unlike themselves after a baby or during fertility treatment. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, identity shifts after becoming a parent, pregnancy after infertility, or the emotional weight of fertility decisions, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Saira Jhutty

I am a bilingual (Spanish & English) marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 14 years of experience working in clinical practice. I am born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I am Salvarodan and Nicaraguan; and a native Spanish speaker. I adhere to the First Nations (Maya and Nahuatl) and Yoruba paradigm of health and wellness. I integrate these paradigms within the framework of Liberation Psychology; and evidenced-based techniques and interventions to empower clients on their healing journey. I understand how  forced displacement, systemic & institutionalized oppression, discrimination, and the multitude of microagressions historically marginalized communities endure lead to the re-enactment of the violence caused by colonialism. Affirmation about cultural and ethnic identity is generally lacking at the present moment resulting in many communities experiencing traumatic, and humiliating experiences related to their ethnic pride and culture.

Hi, I’m Leah Yeshnik, LMFT.

I will work alongside you as you learn new ways to find success and happiness.

My aim is to amplify the innate wisdom existing in you, while guiding you towards a version of wellness that prioritizes curiosity and self-celebration!

My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

Julie Loeb

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist who helps people understand themselves on a deeper level and change patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Many of my clients appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. They often find themselves repeating the same cycles in relationships, overextending themselves, or struggling to manage their emotions in a way that feels grounded and consistent.

I am direct and honest in how I show up. I create a space where you feel supported while also being challenged to grow. I pay attention to patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck, and I help you begin to shift them in a way that is realistic and sustainable. My focus is not just on talking through problems, but on helping you build awareness and take action so that change happens outside of session as well.

My work centers on anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I support clients in building emotional awareness, strengthening regulation, setting boundaries, and understanding how past experiences influence current patterns. Many of the clients I work with are ready to take a deeper look at themselves and move out of survival mode into a more intentional way of living.

I use approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, and I tailor the work to each client's needs. Whether you are just starting therapy or returning to continue your growth, I meet you where you are and support you in doing the work to create meaningful change.

Anel Lee

In our work together, we will collaborate to learn to compassionately observe and change dysfunctional physical, mental, and emotional patterns that are keeping us stuck. We will work to help you to feel empowered to consciously create a life on your own terms, shift from self judgement to self compassion, and (most importantly) stop taking shit to yourself. I have over 9 years of experience working with children, individuals, and families that have experienced trauma and challenging life experiences. I work with individuals that may be struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, life stage transitions, new motherhood, relationship challenges, or traumatic experiences.

Nicole Juliano

When life's challenges - work, relationships, money troubles, illness or injury become too much to manage, or when the pain of the past pops up when you least expect it to disrupt sleep, or when daily stressors build up and make it hard to cope, that's when more than a friendly ear is needed.  That's when a professional can help you heal the compounding effects of life experiences.

If you are seeking long-term relief from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief or loss, I will help you heal those emotional injuries that compound over a lifetime and make life lose its meaning.  And I will empower you to heal the emotional pain that is preventing you from living your best life.

Hi, glad you're here! I'm Maty, a California LMFT, and I work with adults who want deeper self-understanding, real change, and a greater sense of trust and safety within themselves. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment patterns, life transitions, identity exploration, or the feeling of being stuck in the same loops even when they “know better” intellectually.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I integrate relational, attachment-oriented, psychodynamic, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches, with attention to the nervous system and what your body is communicating. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about patterns, and make space for the parts of you that have been working hard to protect you.

I aim to create a therapy space that feels warm, human, and safe enough for your nervous system to exhale. Over time, clients often report feeling more grounded, less reactive, more connected to themselves, and more able to show up authentically in relationships and daily life.
