Hi, I’m Shant Bardakjian, an LMFT based in Pasadena, CA, providing telehealth to adults across California. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or the chaos of major life transitions, you don't have to carry this alone. I specialize in transforming internal chaos into lasting relief. I view your challenges through a compassionate, person-centered lens, tailoring my tools to what you need in the moment: • CBT & Mindfulness: To quiet anxiety and depression and ground your mind. • Narrative Therapy: To creatively untangle past trauma and rewrite your future. • Solution-Focused Therapy: To build practical, actionable strategies for immediate relief. Finding the right therapist is about connection.

I am gentle and supportive, but also direct when it serves your growth—kindly holding up a mirror to challenge old habits. This balance ensures our sessions are safe, honest, and effective, translating insights into tangible improvements in your everyday life and relationships. Our first session is simply a low-pressure, comfortable chat. It feels a bit different from future sessions because it's a gentle, zero-pressure space to learn your history and see the big picture. We move entirely at your pace, and you only share what you are ready to tell me. My goal is for you to leave feeling deeply heard, a little lighter, and confident that you have a trusted guide.

Hi! My name is Crystal Villanueva and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have 14 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and children experiencing the challenges of anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, relationship challenges, and intimate partner violence. My approach to therapy is grounded in the spirit of Humanistic therapy. Humanistic Therapy is based on the core belief that people are good at heart and capable of making the right choices for themselves. In therapy, this belief leads me to focus on each individual’s unique point of view and how this view can impact their choices. It further emphasizes the importance of being our authentic selves to live the most fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe environment to help clients feel comfortable to express their thoughts/emotions. I am genuine, friendly, nonjudgmental, empathetic, and interactive. I believe I am easy to talk to as I am casual in my style, but direct and focused when it comes to our work together. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own therapy that I received as a youth and young adult; it was life-changing. I worked with a therapist that was completely accepting and non-judgmental of my faults/shortcomings and helped me work past and accept them. Because of this experience, I wanted to give back and provide the same nonjudgment safe space, and acceptance to others.

You can also book with me directly through my website: www.lydiancounseling.com. As Co-Owner and Chief Clinical Officer of Lydian Counseling & Consultation, LLC, located in the Columbus, OH Short North Arts District, I bring a direct, honest approach to therapy grounded in the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I specialize in treating a variety of mental health concerns and problematic substance use and addiction for clients ages 13 and up. No matter what brings you in, I tailor care around your stated goals rather than a predetermined template. My style is candid and straightforward; I'll be honest with you about what I'm observing, but I won't tell you what to do. You're the expert on your own life, and my job is to help you get on a clearer path that fits you. I hold a Bachelor's in Social Work from The Ohio State University and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton, and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with an active LPCC license in California as well. I completed an Addiction Medicine fellowship at Kaiser Permanente in Daly City, CA. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, which informs how I approach the connection between past experiences and present struggles. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, tell it to you straight, and help you find your way forward, I'd welcome the chance to work with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and have been practicing since 2020. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical and School Counseling from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships so they can break unhelpful patterns and respond to life with greater intention. My work often focuses on anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, self-esteem, boundaries, and major life transitions. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to each person’s needs and goals, drawing from approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, resilience, and confidence while creating meaningful and sustainable change. Outside of therapy, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, painting, journaling, and spending time with family and friends.

I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and become more aligned with the person they want to be. Therapy can help you understand the patterns, fears, and beliefs that keep you stuck while developing more intentional ways of responding. Together, we can work on reducing overthinking, improving communication and boundaries, increasing self-trust, and making choices that reflect your values rather than fear or pressure. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and confident in how you show up in relationships, work, and your everyday life.

Hello! I am bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California.

Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping adults and couples build healthier relationships, feel more confident, and create lives that feel fulfilling and authentic. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly a decade working in education, where I saw how powerful it can be when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. That experience continues to shape my work today. I’m naturally curious about people, value personal growth, and believe that meaningful change happens when we approach ourselves with both compassion and honesty. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, whether you’re navigating anxiety, struggling with self-esteem, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or working through challenges with trust, communication, or intimacy. I’ll meet you with empathy and without judgment, while also offering thoughtful feedback and gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is about more than just talking through problems. Drawing from CBT, DBT, the Gottman Method, and sex therapy techniques, we’ll explore the roots of your struggles, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. We’ll work together to identify what matters most to you and define what meaningful progress looks like. I have a particular passion for couples and sex therapy, helping people navigate sensitive conversations, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and build more satisfying relationships. I’m committed to continued learning and growing as a therapist so I can better support the people I work with. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.

Hi, I’m Tammy Andrade-De La Isla, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I’m here to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Ruthie. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, a second-generation Pinay, a mother, and someone who understands what it can feel like to carry a lot of different roles at once. As a daughter, partner, mother, therapist, and business owner, I know that who we are is shaped by our relationships, our families, our culture, and the expectations we carry. Sometimes, we become so accustomed to showing up for everyone else that we lose touch with what we need for ourselves. My work as a therapist is rooted in the belief that understanding yourself means looking beyond the individual. It means making sense of the experiences, relationships, and systems that have shaped you, without losing sight of your own agency in deciding what comes next. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a systemic perspective to our work together. I want to understand not just what you're struggling with, but how you got here, what you've been carrying, and what you want your life to look like moving forward. You don't have to come to therapy with everything figured out. You don't need the right words or a clear plan. We can start wherever you are. Together, we'll make space to understand yourself more deeply, navigate the relationships and expectations that feel complicated, and explore what it means to build a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you're becoming. You can want more without doing more. Let's make room for it.

Hi, I'm Dr. Kayla Clark, a licensed clinical psychologist providing virtual therapy to adults throughout California. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment, while also feeling encouraged to grow and make meaningful changes in your life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I value building genuine connections with my clients and believe that feeling understood is an important part of the therapeutic process. At the same time, I don't believe therapy should stop at feeling heard. I'll gently challenge you, help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work alongside you to develop tools you can use outside of our sessions. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring our work to your individual needs and goals. I enjoy helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, and the challenges that come with feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to move forward. I believe people are both resilient and imperfect, and that meaningful change doesn't require perfection. My hope is that our work together helps you better understand yourself, build confidence in your ability to handle life's challenges, and eventually become your own therapist. We only have one life, and I believe it's worth working toward one that feels more fulfilling and more like your own.

My role in working with you is to reconnect you to your inner self and uncover what truly matters to you at your pace with your priorities always in mind.

Hello there, I'm Alma. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I have experience working with elementary-age children and young adults. I can help you manage anxiety to avoid burnout, and in children to avoid losing control of their emotions. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I integrate mindfulness to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety, I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to be heard, heal and grow.

Hey thereI I'm Michelle, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, treating Asian American adults from the ages of 18-40 in the state of California. I am a psychosomatic therapist- a fancy way to say that I treat clients through a bottom-up, somatic (mind-body connection) approach. I care a lot about helping clients reach new heights with their self-love and self-care because of how these approaches have changed me in my own life.
