Therapists in California

I'm Elizabeth, a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from Indiana University. My goal is to touch, move and inspire all those I come in contact with. I am passionate about empowering people in all aspects of life. I help people embrace their authentic self, develop compassion towards self and others, and live a meaningful life through transformation and healing.

Do you worry too much about different things? Are you hard on yourself, withdraw from others or struggle to engage in life due to feeling down? Would you like to feel less anxious, less depressed or finally work through unresolved trauma? Establishing a relationship with a well-informed therapist provides for no longer feeling alone in your experiences and safely addressing such underlying issues that may be keeping you stuck in your problems, preventing you from reaching your goals and living your best life. I am trained in a variety of evidenced-based therapy approaches to best meet your needs with a personalized care experience. I use Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies. This means I am centered in meeting you where you're at and promoting your ability to heal from the past as well as better manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I offer expertise in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, anger management, and relationship problems. We improve through feeling understood and more capable of managing life's challenges. I am committed to provide a supportive relationship that enhances your ability to work through obstacles and strive for enjoying a life worth living. I consider my work with those I serve to be a privilege and look forward to supporting you in your journey forward!

Tracy McClendon, LCSW is a therapist who believes we all have the capacity to grow and looks forward to helping you on your mental health journey. Is it possible you have come to a point in your life where you want change, need to get in control of you or your environment? With direction, support, serenity you can learn to master negative thought processes that bring about negative emotions and behaviors. She believes together, you will build upon your strengths, identify your concerns and you will overcome your challenges.

I’m an LCSW with over 20 years experience in counseling individuals, couples, and groups. I specialize in issues of self esteem, relationships, and in helping clients find out exactly what they need in order to feel confident, calm, hopeful, and on-track. Often, new clients come in with some degree of anxiety, depression, or both. Don't worry if this is true for you. I'm highly experienced and my clients have told me they've benefited greatly in reduction of these symptoms. I don't believe that pain is useful in any way. I believe in insight, relief, and healing as quickly as possible. My style is inquisitive and interactive — I want to know what you need to tell me. I want to know what is causing your life to be anything less than pleasant, safe, and manageable. I want you to be okay, to feel okay, and to be confident in yourself and in your choices and relationships: I want you to feel certain that you are worthy, and that it is good to be you. And while most of my clients do present with some degree of past trauma, or injury to their sense of being worthy and needed, the fact is that life is not easy for anyone. But if we are carrying unhealed wounds, every setback or disappointment can bring back pain from the past. I find that once the major wound of how we see ourselves is healed, then the rest of life’s problems are much easier to resolve. So whether anxiety or depression, or conflict in a relationship has brought you here; I'm ready to help you find out what you want and need, and what's in the way. I don't believe in suffering. I do believe in relief, in hope, and learning how to undo pain.

Life can be difficult and, at times, feel overwhelming. When navigating depression, anxiety, or trauma, our perspective can become blurred, making it hard to see a way forward. During these moments, having someone who is nonjudgmental and understanding can make a meaningful difference. I believe we are all capable of growth and everyone deserves a life filled with hope, purpose, and a sense of belonging. It will be a privilege to walk with you through this journey of examining your inner self, breaking generational trauma, overcoming anxiety/depression, and improving your relationships. Please note, I currently only see individuals no couples or families.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Northern California who graduated from Humboldt State University. I have been practicing for the past 10 years after switching career from Engineering. Throughout my career as a therapist, I have been working as a children's therapist and clinical director for a program that serves older adults. During the last 3 years I have been focusing full time on adults with mild to severe mental health challenges. In addition to using evidenced based practice, I believe that clients are best served by empowerment. I approach therapy from a solutions based perspective to help clients work towards living fulfilled lives and reaching their goals.

Hi there! I'm Tritia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) here in sunny California. I help those who aren't able to help themselves and instead help everyone else first. We will identify the barriers and challenges that make it difficult to make you the priority. We'll utilize an integrative approach, tackling those unhelpful thoughts while ensuring that your whole self is being worked on as well. I offer a no-frills, conversational style approach with different interventions sprinkled in to help you with anxiety, people-pleasing, and/or perfectionist traits. I provide a (virtual) space that's tailored to your goals and needs. I meet you where you are, even if you get a bit "creative" with your language. I am not a blank slate therapist, meaning you will engage with someone who will authentically show up in sessions. Contact me and let's see how we can work together!

Hi, I'm Dr. Alysha! Are you ready to Empower your Mental Health? By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change. When we internalize or suppress our emotions and experiences of adversity, we may be faced with lasting emotional trauma that impacts our entire well-being. However there is power in validation and relatability and that is why I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based method, with consideration for relational, intersectional, and social justice contexts. I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead, I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself. My objective is for you to feel empowered by reducing emotional burdens, developing coping strategies, identifying resources, and enhancing your strengths. You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance. I believe that with the right amount of support, guidance, and compassion, our capabilities are endless. **Please note Relational Therapy (couples and families) is Cash Only at $200 per session. Individual cash sessions are $150**

Greetings, I am Christine Sarkissian, owner and clinician at our continuously evolving practice. Our top values are transparency, vulnerability, flexibility, growth and evolution. In order to grow and evolve, I know that we have to feel deserving of the changes that will strengthen our self worth, make the choice to learn new information to integrate into what our brain and nervous system has already learned, and we must desire new seeds to be planted in the garden of our mind to return to a place of self love. As we can recognize the obvious imperfections of the world, others around us, and within ourselves, we can also return to an innocent place in our heart, mind and spirit that gives us permission to be perfectly imperfect. To be perfect by my definition is to be mature, fully developed in the wholeness and completeness of one’s heart, blameless of self and others, wholeheartedly devoted to truth, and placing LOVE at the center as the fulfillment of perfection. Our goal in therapy is to help support people in growing a beautiful brand new garden within the mind. A garden needs clean soil, sun, water, a healthy seed, and consistent attention and care to grow. Over the years I have found that my personal garden needs truth, honesty, faith, happiness, peace and consistency to blossom and bloom. What do you need to grow your garden? ​

Hello, I am Sanayah Marriott, a licensed clinical social worker in CA, AZ and HI. I am fluent in English and Haitian Creole. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor-II with 9 years of extensive experience in addiction treatment settings and 19 years of military experience. I am thrilled that you have chosen to embark on a journey towards personal growth and self-care. Are you ready to let go of your worries, discover your purpose, embrace emotional wellness, adapt to change, and lead a balanced life? While the journey may be challenging, I aim to support you as you gain awareness and understanding.

I believe healing can be found in a variety of ways that are unique to each of us. Our identities, experiences, and stories shape who we are. I believe it is monumental to learn how all of our pieces intersect to create our authentic self. By understanding these, healing can be transformative. I believe social justice work is a requirement for therapists. I believe you have a right to know about who you work with morally, ethically, and politically. I am progressive leaning and do what I can to support human rights and the social justice movements. As a white therapist, I believe it is a requirement for me to be engaged in social justice work along with consistent learning experiences. By providing guidance, support, safety, and empowerment my main goals are to enhance the healing process and promote thriving. I want to create the safest space I can to support connection with your whole, authentic self. In my sessions, I promote self-discovery, transformation, and self-compassion. I use techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and IFS (Internal Family Systems). I believe using trauma centered, intersectional feminist, social justice, CRT, and Queer Theory perspectives are fundamental in therapy.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. My approach to therapy is person-centered and psychodynamic, and I use various modalities to help people become more connected to their true selves. My goal is to offer a supportive environment where people can fully express themselves, gain insight, and take steps toward healing and personal growth. In therapy, I work with people to explore, make sense of, and identify how their upbringing may be contributing to problems in living. This awareness can lead to healing and be a catalyst for change. I also use mindfulness-based CBT to help people become aware of and challenge thoughts that aren’t true and are contributing to depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.

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.

Together, we will work toward a solution that is focused on your strengths to create a more resourceful, resilient, hope-filled life worth living.

My name is Savannah and I want to thank you for considering me as a partner on your journey to inner growth, safety, and peace. Psychotherapy is an endeavor that can feel uncomfortable at times, but together we can work to troubleshoot your "hang-ups" and insecurities to smooth out your path ahead. Do you find that no matter how hard you try, you continue to gravitate towards situations that cause you emotional pain, that leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable? Do you wonder why other people in your life seem so happy but you feel like you just can't "get it right?" Do you want to learn more about how and why it sometimes feels like you are your own worst enemy to progress? There is resolution to what you're experiencing and I want to work with you on your personalized quest for growth and safety. What have you been through? What recordings have been stuck on-loop in your mind? What kinds of characters have you crossed paths with in your life? Let's work together to figure it out and get you "un-jammed." I graduated with a Master of Social Work from Tulane University and I am licensed in the state of California to practice independently (LCSW #76380). I have years of experience working in a variety of psychiatric settings; when I am not seeing clients on this platform, I continue to work today in a local inpatient psychiatric hospital.

I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental disorders. I help them further develop their mindfulness, assertive communication skills, and capacity for love & respect for themselves, and, consequently, the rest of the world. I don't merely believe in therapy, I know first-hand the beneficial power it can provide. Before seeking mental health services for myself, I not only suffered from low self-esteem, I also experienced severe panic attacks. I am, and forever will be, grateful each and every day that those symptoms now only exist in my past. These are just a few of the reasons why mental health is by far my greatest passion in life.

I see therapy as a truly collaborative journey. Together, we work to deepen your self-awareness, explore new perspectives, ease difficult symptoms, and strengthen the qualities you already possess so you can experience life with more clarity, connection, and meaning. My style is warm, engaging, and grounded in treating every person with dignity and respect. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to fit you. I believe that when we join forces to shift patterns that no longer serve you, real, life-changing growth becomes possible. My goal is to walk alongside you on your path of understanding, healing, and continued personal growth, supporting you every step of the way.

I'm a proud Bay Area native, raised in Silicon Valley with roots in a military and law enforcement family. My journey as a teen mom and survivor of domestic violence has inspired my passion for supporting others through life’s challenges. I earned my BA in Psychology from San Jose State and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur. I've had the privilege of working with law enforcement families, and individuals facing eating disorders, addiction, homelessness, and mental health crises.
