It is not always easy to reach out for help, but you are on the right path. Things will get better as we approach your struggles and goals together. I have any easy going straight forward approach to therapy as I work to meet each client’s unique needs.
I have been a therapist for over 30 years and have worked with clients on a myriad of issues including anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, perinatal loss and other women’s issues. My work has also included working with folks on life transitions whether it be family or career related, as these can create much stress for people.
I have worked in Connecticut, Florida and Texas, both as a clinical leader and practicing clinician. I am currently licensed in Connecticut, California and Texas. My training was at the Columbia School of Social Work where I received my masters degree.
I truly look forward to the opportunity of working together and hope we will talk soon. You are not alone.

Solvang, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hi there, I’m Shanda. Does your child or teenager have a lot of “big feelings” leading to behaviors that are becoming difficult to understand or manage as a parent? Are you an adoptive or foster parent having trouble connecting with your child or teen? This can be a confusing and challenging role to fulfill. The same parenting rules do not apply to a "non-traditional" family system.
If your biological, adopted, or foster child or teenager is struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, or ADHD, or has experienced a stressful life event such as bullying, relocation, grief/loss, or trauma and you’re not sure how to help as a parent, I am here to listen to your family’s needs and guide you toward hope, healing, and positive change. I empower parents and caregivers to support their children and families to overcome life’s challenges that can result in those “big feelings”.
As a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Play Therapist, I love blending play and art therapy, mindfulness, and conversation to get to the root of your and/or your child’s struggles. In our sessions together, I'll provide a safe, non-judgmental space and utilize evidence-based techniques so you and your family can overcome life’s challenges and connect on a deeper level. I’d love to meet you and work together!

Feeling Anxious, Stuck, or Hopeless? You Don’t Have to Stay There.
You’re doing your best—but fear, anxiety, or that constant feeling of being “stuck” keeps getting in the way. You’ve probably searched through a long list of therapists, comparing credentials, star ratings, and session fees, wondering who’s truly the right fit. While others may seem like a “better deal” on paper, what matters most is finding someone who knows how to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Hi, I’m Tammy Brooks, LMFT, and I’ve spent over 25 years in the mental health field, offering online therapy across California, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. Since 2021, I’ve helped individuals overcome anxiety, fear, and hopelessness by using a proven, Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach that helps you move forward—not stay stuck in the problem.
Instead of rehashing the past week after week, I ask thoughtful, goal-oriented questions that guide you toward the hopeful, confident version of yourself—the one who says, “I’ve got this,” even when life throws curveballs. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths, explore your dreams, and focus on small steps that create real progress. You may even surprise yourself by reconnecting with coping skills you forgot you had—or discovering new ones you’ve always been capable of trying.
If you’re ready for a personalized, results-driven approach—not just a therapy “session,” but a space to rediscover your strength—book your appointment today—and take that first step toward a brighter, more manageable tomorrow.

I consider myself to be bi-cultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life.
My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY**
Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation.
Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others.
Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are.
These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery of not only one's own underlying issues, but also of our own unique potential to strive for hope and resiliency. Services in Spanish are also available.
Life can be filled with many challenges and often, we just need to look for some space to contain our thoughts. Allow me to work with you in identifying your goals, explore options, and try to overcome obstacles.

Sometimes ordinary psychotherapy just isn’t “it”. Most people who come into my practice come due to persistent sexual and emotional problems that regular psychotherapy analyzed, but did not effectively facilitate.
Sometimes, “How does it make you feel?” Is simply too little and not sufficient for change. You are left feeling an inventory of your issues, but not much change. You will likely find me quite different to the above. I don’t fit the mold and this is intentional because traditional psychotherapy frustrates me and I need to bring about relief and real change.
I am extroverted and high-energy. I am an active and verbose facilitator, and you come because you desire to do the hard work on yourself. It is my honor to serve. I help emotional/sexual/abuse traumas heal using bilateral stimulation known as tapping, and positive psychotherapy. We laugh together!
I work with fathers as well. I teach men how to listen effectively, for conflict resolution and to learn how to validate your mate and yourself for deeper relaxation and communion as a pair.
What people are saying:
"She blew my mind! I feel so much better."
"I should have done this years ago."
"Now I have the mental tools to be effective. I have "proof of concept". This is all worth it."
"This is rewarding to share; I can provide my kids with tools they can use growing up."
"This has had such an impact on my life."
"I feel Great!"
"You are the best psychotherapist I have ever had, and I have seen plenty of them!"

We were never taught how to be in a relationship. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. If you want to be in a relationship that last 50 yrs then communication and empathy has to be at the core of a successful partnership. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers.
Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms.
I am here to help beit coping strategies for anxiety and depression symptoms or learning how to communicate more effectively with others.

Torrance, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Welcome! My name is Lorrie!
Life can be challenging and complicated. Choosing a therapist doesn’t have to be. I believe that building a genuine, open, and honest therapeutic relationship with my client is the best way to connect. Together, we will work to explore areas of your life that are challenging to set you on a path of happiness, fulfillment, and purpose.
Are you tired of relapsing?? Tired of struggling to stay sober?? My experience in the field of Substance Abuse allowed me the privilege of helping those struggling with addiction and mental health disorders as well as their families. I have worked in this field for the past sixteen years and it has given me a compassionate perspective for those struggling to get and stay sober. I am enthusiastic and passionate about helping you find unique and creative solutions to problems. Parents, would you like some peace in your home? Are you tired of the lying and manipulation? Need support dealing with a teen with addiction issues? I can help.

Makawao, CA - Accepting clients in CA
My approach to providing therapy is relationship-based and holistic. I use a mixture of techniques uniquely tailored to each individual and their struggles. My goal is to help increase your resiliency, support you in clearing hurdles, and build on the strengths you already have within you to reach a better state of wellness. My areas of interest and experience include supporting those struggling with systemic and judicial oppression, trauma, depression, anxiety, family stress, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. I use techniques from CBT/DBT, mindfulness, attachment theory, Brainspotting, neuroscience, and psychodynamic exploration.
My guidance and approach are deeply shaped by the perspective I have gained throughout my time living in Texas, Florida, Chicago, and California as well as working with individuals across different cultures and socio-economic classes. I deeply value self-care and autonomy and seek to help my clients find their inner strength.
Your past experiences, whether they be successes or failures, do not define who you are, and I’m excited to help you become the best version of yourself.

Corona, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hello! I’m Tiffany Winston a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) in the state of California. I graduated with a Master's in Social Work from USC in 2008 and have a Bachelor's from Cal State Long Beach in Psychology. I have worked in school-based mental health as well as in crisis management for the hospital. I LOVE anxious people!!!
Anxiety, Depression and Anger Management are my favorite issues to work with because they are typically all linked. I have taught anxiety, depression, anger management, couples communication and work stress groups in the past using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Solution Focused therapy which is my preferred theoretical perspective. I am passionate about teaching about self-care, healthy communication, learning to set boundaries and holistic healing methods that help my clients heal from the things that trigger their symptoms.
My goal is to empower my clients to find solutions that work for them and make choices/decisions to create the change in the mind, body or spirit that they want to see. I love to laugh, smile and have fun with my clients to create a safe space to grow and heal. It is my pleasure to work with clients who are passionate about working together to heal from symptoms and grow with a little bit of laughter. :-) I look forward to hearing and working with you in the future.

Hello there, I’m Lus.
Do you miss feeling like yourself? Does it feel like you are going around in circles with the same problems yet can’t seem to find a permanent solution? I guide adults from a person-centered approach to find solutions to their problems when experiencing difficult feelings such as those that come with depression and anxiety. I can help you work through major life transitions (newly married, becoming a parent, empty nester, starting school, grief, becoming ill, divorce, etc.) getting to the root of the problem and developing cognitive behavioral techniques that will get you back to stability. Obtaining therapy services can be intimidating but I can guarantee you that you are making the right decision. I possess bilingual abilities (Spanish), if it's your preference. You deserve your own space to heal and evolve. During our sessions, you will have a safe space where I will meet you with empathy and evidence-based practice. Let me help you.
