Therapists in California

Hi, I'm Rochelle Koch, LCSW, owner of Kasama Bloom. I have over 15 years of experience providing mental health services in diverse populations including academic, community and medical settings. As the only second-generation Filipino American in my immediate family, I understand the weight of intergenerational expectations, cultural silence around mental health, and the resilience it takes to navigate identity and belonging.

As a LCSW, my passion lies in empowering individuals to navigate life challenges and discover their inner resilience. My approach is rooted in empathy and authenticity. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. I have experience working with preteens, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, grief, substance use, gambling disorder, life adjustments and transitions. I utilize evidence-based modalities (CBT, solution-focused, mindfulness-based techniques, trauma-informed care, etc.) to promote positive outcomes.

Do you often feel missed by the people in your life? When you look forward does it sometimes feel impossible to experience something new? As an Authentic Relating Facilitator, Nonviolent Communication Practitioner, and Licensed Therapist, I have a deep desire to attune to you and your world. Together we can illuminate the patterns and roads blocks that you have been experiencing. You need to know where you are to get to where you want to go. We can build a map to get you there. Once we have a map of where we are headed, we will practice the skills needed to get to your desired life. Some of the skills we will use to navigate the terrain are mindfulness, somatic and mind-body practices, written word exploration, feelings and needs awareness, and vision/goals work. Ready to take the journey? Schedule a free consultation to answer any questions you may have. You know the way, and I’d be honored to accompany you.

Hi there, I'm Bridget, Our world is a busy and ever-changing place. With these changes can come stressors that can lead to anxiety, depression and interpersonal struggles. Do you find yourself unable to focus, or maybe struggling to enjoy things you once loved? Sometimes, we all need a place to be heard and understood. Sometimes, we just need some space to share and explore our own emotions in a non-judgemental and unbiased space. There is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you to achieve your goals and find peace. I practice an open, empathic approach to therapy using multiple different evidence-based modalities to help find a good fit for you as an individual. Reaching out for help can be difficult and takes a great deal of strength, I am so glad you are here and taking these first steps. Whether you are dealing with interpersonal struggles, depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors or other concerns, I will meet you with compassion and understanding, and walk alongside you on this journey to healing and growth.

When choosing a therapist it is important to select someone with whom you feel a sense of trust, safety and connection. Early life experiences and relationships can significantly impact how we view ourselves, how we are in relationships and how we experience the world around us. We often develop unproductive behavior and thoughts, yet don't have the skills or understanding to create a desired change. I have been a licensed therapist for over 22 years, working in a variety of settings such as private practice, non-profit agencies, women's shelters, and Kaiser. Everyone enters therapy with different goals and needs. Therapy allows for the opportunity to explore ways to navigate history and current challenges to create the life and person you wish to be.

Hello, my name is Jeri. Do you feel like you have always been the responsible one who gets things done but lately are starting to feel resentful or just plain exhausted?

I help high-functioning individuals manage their relationships, emotions, and stress in their lives. We will work together to understand the root of your struggles, help you explore your options and become a better communicator so you can meet your own needs. You just need to show up for your appointments, be interested in your growth and do any homework assignments that are assigned to you (they are easy, don't worry).

With nearly 20 years of experience working with individuals, children, teens, and families, I have been actively focusing on teletherapy for the past 5 years, ensuring that clients receive high-quality care and support regardless of their location. My career began in community-based therapy, where my out-of-the-box style was nurtured and reinforced. In these settings, families, teens, and children often felt labeled as hopeless, both internally and externally by agencies such as schools, social services, and probation. My approach has always been to meet clients where they are, both literally and figuratively, helping them discover better coping mechanisms and become more effective in their lives. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, gaining insight and tools to manage them effectively. My approach to therapy is flexible, out of the box, and adaptable to each individual's unique needs.

I have been working with young people since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures in school, at home, with your peers 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. PARENTS: Are you in a place where you are ready to dive deeper into your own unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you parent? Do you ever think that you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things with your children that your parents did with you, but find it hard to stop? I am here for you too.

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.
