Therapists in California

Hello, I'm Ivannia. Are you ready to continue your healing journey towards recovery? I specialize in eating disorders, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Treatment and therapeutic approach is very unique to all individuals. What works for one person may not work for the other and that's ok! I will guide you and help you recognize what type of treatment works for you. I believe in building trust and rapport, while challenging you towards growth. I believe healing is a journey and I would love to be a part of it.

Greetings! My name is Asia and I help adult individuals with a history of developmental (childhood) trauma repair attachment injuries and thrive in their present-day relationships. As a team, we collaborate to make sense of these experiences, develop a toolkit of adaptive skills, and establish a safe space to promote post-traumatic growth. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and individualized. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to challenge, guide and support you as you tread your therapeutic journey. Whilst informality is a marker of my style, evidence-based practices such as EMDR, CBT, and Motivational interviewing guide my interventions. If my style and approach sound like what you're looking for, I welcome you to reach out and begin this work with me. Choosing a therapist who understands your unique needs, has training in the subjects most relevant to your issues, and makes you feel comfortable can be difficult. It would be my honor to be your fit!

My name is Jacob Lapides and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and I have been in this field for over 10 years now. I am a Holistic therapist who likes to focus on healing an individual from all aspects including mind-body wellness.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California in 2019 and have been practicing for 7 years. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and the elderly population. In my practice, I have worked with individuals that are struggling with anxiety, depression and substance use.

I’m Megan Montague, a passionate advocate for mental health and human connection. I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for individuals and families to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey towards healing and self-discovery. I have witnessed many, many clients get better. Whatever it is you are struggling with, let me help you find hope again.

Welcome and thanks for stopping in. My name is Kristy, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My ancestry is both Native American and northern European. I have been working in this field since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures at home, at school and work, with your relationships and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. Are you feeling ready to dive deeper into your unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you live? Are you thinking you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things in your life that perhaps your caregivers did? I invite you to reach out to begin this deeper exploration.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience counseling survivors of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, as well as people dealing with PTSD, depression, chronic illness, and anxiety. I'm down to earth, practical, and non-judgmental. I love working with teens, young adults, adults, and folks in the LGBTQ community. I have a lot of experience working with people from all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. I practice cultural humility and harm reduction and seek to support you to make whatever changes you are ready for. I've had my own personal challenges in life, including mental health struggles and living with chronic illnesses. I am also a parent to two teenage daughters. I look forward to getting to know you!

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am committed to providing patient-led care that respects the unique needs and pace of each individual. My therapeutic approach incorporates solution-focused therapy, interpersonal therapy (IPT), motivational interviewing, and strength-based methods. This multifaceted approach allows me to collaborate with clients, fostering a supportive environment where they can leverage their strengths and work toward meaningful solutions in their mental health journey.

Hi, I’m Tina. I understand that finding the right therapist can feel like a big decision, and it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with. Starting therapy means allowing yourself to trust someone new and making room for your own growth in the midst of a busy life. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, process difficult experiences, and develop tools to help you navigate life with greater confidence and self-compassion. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Compassionate, humanistic therapist providing a safe space to explore and process difficult emotions and moral injury. I'm an ally, and provide support with processing anxiety, depression, grief, moral injury and trauma. Addressing challenges and developing skills to mitigate the severity of emotional dysregulation can bring a sense of relief and increase peace of mind. I work collaboratively to align with the client's identified goals; I respect individuality and personal aspirations.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood—not just as a diagnosis or a list of symptoms, but as a whole person with your own experiences, relationships, strengths, and challenges. I’ve always been less interested in asking, “What’s wrong with this person?” and more interested in asking, “What have they been through, and how has that shaped the way they see themselves and the world?” I believe our experiences can influence the ways we cope, connect with others, and move through life, and that understanding those patterns can be an important part of creating meaningful change. My approach is warm, curious, and trauma-informed. I have particular experience working with trauma and interpersonal violence, including sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, neglect, and traumatic loss. I’ve also worked extensively with depression, anxiety, substance use, and the challenges that can come with major life transitions and different phases of life. While I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I don’t believe therapy should feel like a one-size-fits-all process. I want to understand what you need, what feels helpful to you, and what you hope to get out of therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest and feel accepted, while also gently challenging the patterns that may be getting in the way of the life or relationships you want. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I don’t take that step lightly. My hope is that our work together can help you better understand yourself, feel more grounded and connected, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship problems, or major life changes begin affecting your well-being. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we will work to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping and communication skills, build confidence, and develop practical strategies that support healing, personal growth, and meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can come as you are and feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. As a first-generation Asian American and Christian therapist, I understand how faith, culture, family expectations, relationships, and life experiences can shape who we are and how we see ourselves. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and over 13 years of experience working with children and families. My approach is warm, genuine, compassionate, and down-to-earth, thoughtfully integrating evidence-based therapy with faith and spirituality when desired. I have a special heart for supporting young adults, couples, families, parents, and older adults navigating life transitions, relationships, family conflict, motherhood and postpartum adjustment, parenting, grief and loss, self-esteem, cultural pressures, and personal growth. I believe healing often begins by renewing the way we see ourselves, our circumstances, and what is possible for our future. Our hardest seasons do not have to define us; they can become part of a story of growth, healing, and transformation. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you move toward renewed hope and meaningful change.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. Using talk therapy and CBT, I help clients better understand their patterns, manage difficult emotions, build confidence, and develop practical coping skills. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and more like yourself again!

Hi, I am Christina. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and periods of feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I believe some of the most meaningful work in therapy happens when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, while also providing practical tools and thoughtful guidance to help you better understand yourself, heal from difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. I honor each person’s unique story, culture, strengths, and goals and strive to create a space where you can show up authentically and feel supported as you move toward the life you want. New Beginnings PC was created around a simple but powerful belief: no matter what you have experienced or where you are in your journey, a new beginning is possible. Our practice is dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where clients can process life’s challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope. At New Beginnings, therapy is not about erasing the past, it is about understanding your experiences, discovering what you need in the present, and empowering you to intentionally create what comes next. Your story matters, and you don’t have to navigate your next chapter alone.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist offering individual and couples therapy to adults throughout California. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, identity, and major life transitions. I have particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients, members of the adoption constellation, and professionals working in entertainment and other creative fields. My approach is warm, relational, and depth-oriented. I believe meaningful therapy involves more than managing symptoms—it creates space to understand the deeper patterns, relationships, and experiences shaping your life. Depending on your needs, I draw from psychodynamic and Jungian therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, family systems, narrative therapy, dream work, and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working as a producer in film and television. That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of creative ambition, unpredictable careers, collaboration, rejection, and the pressure to keep performing even when something internally feels stuck. I bring curiosity, humor, compassion, and genuine engagement into the therapy room. My goal is to offer a space where you can speak honestly, feel deeply understood, and develop a stronger relationship with yourself and the people who matter to you.

Hello, I’m Susan, and I’m so glad you’re here. I believe we are all wired for connection, and that healing often begins when we honor the intelligence behind our patterns with self-compassion. In my practice, I walk alongside my clients as they reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and intention. Together we create a supportive environment where mind and body can speak the same language, allowing renewal to emerge gently and naturally. It is a privilege to support individuals as they reclaim a deeper sense of belonging within themselves and in their relationships.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and credentialed art therapist (ATR-P) with experience working across the lifespan—from childhood through later life—and with multigenerational families. I use a developmental and family-systems perspective, recognizing that every life stage brings distinct needs involving safety, independence, competence, identity, relationships, purpose, caregiving, loss, and meaning. I help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, cultural stress, family conflict, and major transitions through conversation, practical tools, and creative approaches when helpful. Art is always optional.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth, and my pronouns are they/them/elle. I am a bicultural nonbinary therapist. I have the most experience working with neurodivergent clients, anxiety disorders, self-confidence issues, and challenges around gender and sexuality. I use a very humanistic approach in my practice, and I am human with you in the room. You do not need to feel talked down to or be told what to do in therapy. You and I can work together instead, as I may be the expert in psychology, but you are the expert of your own life. You will be encouraged to use your own strengths to push through the hurdles and you can expect warmth from me throughout this process.

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) currently based and practicing in Oregon, though with an active license in California as well. I attended California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) for graduate school and lived in the Bay Area for a decade before moving to Portland, OR shortly before the pandemic. I have over thirteen years of experience as a "generalist" therapist, though I specialize in supporting individuals in the midst of life transitions, including but not limited to: relationship challenges, moves to a new city or state, new or chronic medical diagnoses, career and work problems, spiritual questioning, transitions into the workforce or retirement. I do NOT work with couples at this time. While I consider the psychological theories behind my work, I hold them lightly in the room, believing most fundamentally in the importance of an adaptive, culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental stance with my clients. PLEASE NOTE: your chosen intake appointment time is subject to my final approval based on my shifting availability. I see clients on multiple platforms and am unable to sync all of my calendars in real time. Following the initial appointment, we will find a mutually agreeable meeting time and I will manage the booking on the Grow platform going forward, including rescheduling and cancellations. You will need to message me directly to cancel or reschedule your appointment. I request the courtesy of as much advanced notice as possible. I am not able to work with clients who cancel without 24 hrs advanced notice or no show more than twice.

I help individuals find relief from anxious thoughts, worries, and overthinking and discover the next logical steps for challenges related to relationships, work stress, communication and family issues.

I believe true change happens when we are able to confront and process difficult emotions, and I am here to support you every step of the way. In my practice, I use effective therapeutic techniques like Brainspotting and Culturally Competent approaches to help you work through the root causes of emotional distress. These methods allow for deeper healing and lasting change, helping you move past obstacles and embrace personal growth. I also ensure that your cultural background is always respected and incorporated into our work, creating a safe space where you can feel understood and supported. Having struggled to find a therapist who truly embodies these values, I am dedicated to providing an inclusive, affirming, and safe environment for all of my clients. My goal is to help you live more authentically and confidently, fostering a sense of empowerment as you navigate your unique journey toward healing.

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the Bay Area, but never truly appreciated it until I left and came back. I attended high school in Marin at the Branson School in Ross. After High School I left for Wheaton College in Massachusetts where I earned a B.A. in Psychology. I moved to Florida where I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida. Prior to earning my Masters in Psychology I spent a number of years working in child and adolescent residential treatment centers in both San Francisco and Orlando, Florida. It was at this time that I fell in love with working with adolescents, adults, and their families. After graduate school, I found myself working for, and soon thereafter managing, an inpatient treatment program for adolescents who had experienced severe trauma. I returned to California for good in 2011 where I started working as the Lead Therapist for the Adolescent Outpatient Program at Fremont Hospital. I opened a part time private practice in 2012 and transitioned to a full time practice in San Francisco in early 2013.

I have worked in this field since 2015 in various behavioral and mental health clinics, along with all levels of recovery treatment centers with addiction and dual diagnoses. I spend much of my free time with family and friends, dancing, reading, and traveling to new places near and far. All of which I look forward to integrating such activities, like or unlike these, within our therapy work together to better support your healing journey.

Therapy with me is rooted in honest dialog, active listening, and evidence-based tools. I integrate Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), breathwork, reflective journaling, dream exploration, and narrative techniques. Rather than just talking about problems, we’ll focus on actionable solutions and personal responsibility. Together, we will uncover underlying patterns, explore new choices, and equip you with practical tools to cultivate deeper self-awareness, courage, and self-compassion. ( NOTE: I have a no show, late show and late cancel policy (see "Practice Details") which includes all clients including those who have insurers who do not cover Grow Therapy for those instances.

I am a licensed mental health professional with several years of experience working with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive and safe environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their healing process. I employ evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and person-centered therapy, to help individuals gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be holding them back and develop practical strategies to improve their overall well-being. I am committed to meeting each client where they are and guiding them toward meaningful, lasting change at their own pace.

I'm a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach focuses on developing awareness of how our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are connected, fostering resilience, and empowering clients to work through their challenges. I enjoy creating a non-judgmental and affirming space for adults with short-term or long-standing mental health and emotional distress. Feelings of anxiety and the need for isolation can be internal cues to request reconnection to what makes our lives meaningful. Ideally, enjoying the moment, knowing how to soothe overwhelming feelings, and engaging our sparkling personalities helps us feel alive. My clients enjoy my approach of exploring practical strategies by using guiding questions. Exploring thoughts and emotional pain benefits from curiosity and compassion. I am also trained in EMDR, which can be supportive in reframing negative belief systems and releasing trauma.
