Therapists in California

Hello! My name is Jamie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma in adults. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, and I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship to help individuals achieve their goals and live more fulfilling lives. I utilize various evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as therapy that focuses on internal systems, mindfulness techniques, and trauma focused therapy. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing, and I am honored to be a part of my clients' journey towards self-discovery and self-improvement. If you are seeking support and guidance in overcoming personal challenges and achieving a greater well-being, I am here to help.

My name is Cory Sullivan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work degree from the University of Southern California. I have a passion for helping people find their new normal after traumatic injuries and/or chronic illness and have first-hand experience with the grief, and loss of identity that comes with life after a traumatic injury. I take an eclectic approach to helping to clients with anxiety and depression with a mix of different approaches, modalities, and psychoeducation. I focus on letting my clients know that they are not in this alone, despite what their irrational thoughts tell them. I collaborate with clients and let them know that we are on this journey together.

As a therapist I am very down to earth and practical. I meet clients where they are and provide them the tools that can be useful in everyday struggles. I listen to what has worked and what has not worked and work with them to find a solution that fits their life and lifestyle. I am direct and work collaboratively with my clients.

Hi, I am a licensed marriage and therapist with 25 years of clinical background. I am passionate about helping people and empowering them to live fully and authentically. I help my clients identify and overcome the barriers in their personal lives and relationships in order to find happiness. I provide safety, hope, understanding, and a way forward when dealing with clients' challenges and relationships. I advocate a philosophy of acceptance, compassion, empathy, and a respectful non-judgmental style with all my clients.

I bring over 38 years of experience in the mental health field, having worked in hospitals, residential care facilities, schools, community clinics, as well as in private practice settings. I am bilingual and bicultural, and throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in improving their mental health and reaching their personal goals. My areas of specialization include: Depression and anxiety Trauma Grief and loss ADHD and executive functioning challenges Substance abuse and recovery Couples and family dynamics Mental health disorders—especially anxiety and depression—are among the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. Depression is now the leading cause of disability worldwide, with chronic and toxic stress often at the root of these conditions. The good news is that, when properly diagnosed and treated, depression, anxiety, and many other mental health concerns can be stabilized and even reversed—allowing individuals to return to their routines and rediscover a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you entrust me with your mental health care, I will offer you not only my clinical expertise and decades of experience, but also unconditional support, deep respect, and a commitment to helping you heal, grow, and thrive.

Hi, my name is Martha Garcia-Enright and I am an LMFT providing care in the state of California. I have over a decade of experience working with diverse populations in various settings ranging from outpatient mental health care to crisis residential treatment. I help clients through difficult times and life transitions to empower them to live their lives to the fullest with the tools necessary to overcome future obstacles or barriers. As a mother of two beautiful girls, I have a strong passion to assist mothers in their journeys. So many transitions are happening to women in the journey of motherhood, and not enough support is offered or available to us in these times. I am focused on helping you through any part of your motherhood journey, and being a safe place for you to explore your current issues. I want to empower you to be the best version of yourself, with the overall goal of gaining hope and confidence to improve your quality of life.

Life is really complex and challenging so I’m glad you’re checking in to find ways to support a fulfilled, happy and thriving YOU. Whether you are here to process trauma, sort out your future plans or relationships, learn new coping to manage stress, or some other area of your experience that is having an impact on you, I’m honored that you’ve considered how I can support you. In a process you are empowered to design, we will create a space where you can grow, heal and feel better using a variety of evidence-based techniques, a safe virtual environment and our therapeutic relationship!

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults. With extensive experience working with youth in the foster care system and individuals who have experienced trauma, I use a compassionate, evidence-based approach to support clients navigating PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, and suicidal ideation. Drawing from modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, I tailor each treatment plan to meet clients where they are. My strength-based and behavioral approaches empower individuals to build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster emotional growth in a safe, supportive environment.

Hi, I'm Kristen Montiel. Searching for the right therapist can be a daunting process when you may already be feeling stressed or struggling. I know it's not easy and I'm so glad you're here! After experiencing my own struggles with family and relationships, I set out to help others who also felt stuck. I have a master’s degree in marriage and family counseling and a doctorate in psychology. With over 15 years of experience, my focus is helping individuals and couples understand themselves and use their own strengths to discover healing, even in the most difficult circumstances. I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable to work through challenges by exploring deep rooted patterns of hurt and disconnect, while developing new perspectives, learning new skills, and creating sustainable changes. I’ve helped hundreds of people find hope and renewed satisfaction in their lives and relationships. I look forward to helping you too!

I’m a first-generation, Vietnamese, transgender, and queer therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to the work. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. In my practice, I often draw from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process trauma and experiences in a way that feels restorative. EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing by using bilateral stimulation—like eye or auditory movements —to reprocess memories and reduce their emotional intensity. I also use Narrative Therapy, which invites clients to explore the stories they’ve been told or have come to believe about themselves. Together, we uncover how those stories were shaped—by culture, relationships, systems, or past experiences—and work toward reclaiming narratives that center resilience, agency, and authenticity. I understand the importance of creating a space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and safe to show up as their full selves. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity exploration, or simply seeking to reconnect with yourself, I’m here support you in that process with care, collaboration, and accountability. Are you looking for a mental health letter for gender-affirming surgery? I write those! Feel free to reach out for short-term therapy services to complete the letter assessment process with me. My practice uses old fashioned, human-generated tools and information methodically accumulated over years of community and evidenced based research. I do not use AI programs at any point in the therapeutic process. *I am not currently accepting family, couples, or group counseling inquiries* *My evening appointment spots are full* *Pls inquire about my reduced rate spots at $150/hr*

Hello, i'm Randy. Despite having the title of being a therapist, I believe that no matter how many years of work experience a therapist has, and no matter how many credentials/degrees a therapist has, all of that goes out the window if they don't have the ability to click and level with their clients. Initiating therapy services may feel like a leap of faith; as one would have to initiate a process in which they will be meeting with a therapist who is a complete stranger to them in the beginning. So congratulations on taking the first step for seeking treatment ! I have worked with a variety of clientele throughout my career in the mental health field; which consisted of 3 years of working with adults, and 3 years of working with children/adolescents aged 3-17, as well as the adult population. My goal is to provide support to adults who are experiencing difficulties reaching their full potential in life due to both internal and external hardships.

Understanding human behavior and how such shapes our lives is a key essential component to unraveling the complexities of who we are. As a seasoned Clinician, I work closely with my clients via joining them on their journey and provide an encouraging environment via a psychodynamic and holistic approach and assist those who are truly motivated to seeking change and mastery in their lives.

My name is Jennifer Stoneburner, I am an LMFT in California. I have 13 years experience.

Hi, my name is Hannah. As an experienced Geriatric Therapist focused on anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions and caregiver burnout, I believe that you are more than your fears.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in CA. I received my Masters Degree from Nova Southeastern University in Florida in 2011.

Hello and Welcome to my therapy practice. I have 15 successful years experience with counseling adults to further build self-awareness and greater relationships with themselves and others.

Struggling to manage your emotions, stress or relationships? It’s time to address those negative thoughts. We can work together in an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I am a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor since 2014 and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor since 2009. My approach is to listen and attentively be there for you during your challenging and unpleasant situations.

Greetings, Life can be confusing, relationships can be stressful, and the present can make you feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes a painful past can surface into the moment, especially when situations are difficult or when you are experiencing major change. During these periods your mood and thoughts can be affected in negative ways. When you are feeling alone, disconnected, or confused, talking things through can make all the difference. I work with anyone struggling to find joy, peace, and fulfillment. I offer a safe, inviting space for you to share thoughts and feelings, to vent, to feel heard, and to reorient to meaning. Please allow me to assist you finding relief and clarity. I will meet you where you are at and welcome you. I address healing on multiple levels of the body-mind connection with a focus on the notion that caring about something or someone along with experiencing meaning can counterbalance the effects of hurt, a disturbing past, or a present stressful situation or transition. I have more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate major change and transition, gain closure, and create new beginnings. I apply interventions from a mind-body-being perspective and assess current life stressors to distinguish between situational mood and thought disturbances from those enduring and a consequence of previous hurt or trauma.

I work from a trauma-informed, somatic, and mindfulness-based approach that honors the whole person. I guide with compassion, supporting you in cultivating confidence, self-awareness, and a sense of wellness. Healing is a collaborative process of self-discovery and internal alignment. I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally affirming space where you can freely express yourself, fostering growth, empowerment, and lasting transformation. I value guiding with empathy and supporting individuals on their journey of self-discovery.

Life is hard. In this fast-paced world, we rarely take time to take care of ourselves. We end up exhausted and unhappy, feeling alone in our struggles. If you’re reading this it means you’re thinking of making a change and I’m here to help guide you and support you. With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and children I provide a warm and nonjudgmental place, helping clients to tap into their strengths, understand and express their emotions, and accept and love themselves. The process of change begins with taking small steps. I invite you to take that first step, of making an appointment to explore what possibilities of insight and change lie ahead.

I am a Christian and Afro-Caribbean mom and forever learner. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I dipped my toe into psychiatry for the first time as a high school student and am still furthering my education in clinical psychology today. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available to individuals who have always looked inward, fist-fought generational patterns, and still feel stuck in a world that says they need 15 more tasks completed by yesterday. I work to be a safe resting place for people who have moved from therapist to therapist, searching for someone who will truly see them for who they are rather than who the world has tried to mold them into. I desire to fill the Keturah-sized space in that wellness gap. I enjoy working side-by-side with clients to explore areas of possibility, rest, healing, and growth, and then provide the tools to make these things possible.

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, anger issues, and self-harm behaviors. I want to get to know you and what might be happening with you that you are seeking counseling for. Most people come to therapy when they are in some type of distress. Sometimes this is conscious and sometimes not. If you are feeling powerless or distressed for some reason or grieving a loss in life, I would like to see how we can work in therapy. The way we work will depend on the issues you bring to therapy. I have experience with different approaches to therapy including but not limited to HUMANISTIC THERAPY (includes the importance of personal responsibility, and a positive, non-judgmental approach), STRUCTURAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (includes the importance of family structure and healthy boundaries), GOTTMAN (includes helping couples communicate better, resolve conflicts constructively, and create a shared sense of meaning), CBT (generally includes a short-term approach that helps you identify and change negative or unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to improve your mood and overall well-being). All the above types of counseling styles point towards change or growth. Many times, there is a creative element to counseling and many times the counseling can give you more of a sense of purpose for yourself in life. Please see my calendar with Grow to sign up for an appointment today.

Do you have unhealthy negative thought patterns and bad habits? Let me help you let go of old messages that tell you that you're not good enough or that you'd be better if your relationship, weight, career, or circumstances were different. The key to overcoming life's numerous obstacles is showing up and being present for yourself. I'll assist you in developing and utilizing your inner abilities so that you can lead a happy, fulfilled life. I strongly desire to provide each person with the tools to identify their assets, develop fresh perspectives, and adopt constructive behavioral habits. I believe psychotherapy should be approachable, accessible, and results-driven. My goal is to empower individuals, couples, and families to define and claim the lives they were meant to live.

I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work as a therapist. I am bipolar and have navigated my own journey through psychiatric institutions and related adversity throughout my life, giving me deep insight into the challenges and triumphs of living with mental health conditions. Professionally, I have worked in psychiatric residential settings, addiction medicine facilities (still do) and family practice settings, which have shaped my understanding of effective, compassionate care. I utilize a lot of somatic and sensory-based tools focusing on emotion and nervous system regulation, including brainspotting, sound therapy, aromatherapy, meditation techniques and other mindfulness tools. Alongside these approaches, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to examine and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping strategies. I have extensive experience supporting clients with addictions, complex PTSD and trauma history, ADHD, BPD, bipolar, schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions, allowing me to meet individuals with both compassion and clinical expertise. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel supported, reconnect with themselves, cultivate resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I believe in creating a unique and tailored approach designed to meet the individual needs of each of my clients, and each of my couples. I provide therapy, counseling and coaching to teens, young adults, adults, and couples in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, and throughout the South Bay Los Angeles area. I recently expanded my offices to include other areas including, but not limited to: Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Malibu. Additionally, I can provide telehealth video or phone sessions from anywhere across the state of California.
