I'm Nakila Hill, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to offering compassionate and supportive therapy. I focus on meeting clients exactly where they are in their personal journeys, assisting them in progressing towards their aspirations and goals.

Welcome! ¡Bienvenido! My name is Silvia and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of California. My mission is to create a positive, supportive space where you feel truly empowered. Therapy should feel like a meaningful conversation—one that helps you breathe a little easier and feel a little lighter each time we meet. I strive to offer an environment where you feel heard, supported, guided, and safe. Through a humanistic approach, I focus on making our time together feel valuable, collaborative, and deeply meaningful.

I approach therapy with warmth, honesty, and compassion. My goal is to create a space where you feel supported enough to explore difficult experiences while also feeling gently challenged to grow. I care deeply about creating a therapeutic relationship where people feel respected, understood, and able to approach difficult parts of their lives with curiosity rather than judgment. Outside of therapy, I enjoy paddle boarding in the summer, long conversations with loved ones over a leisurely meal, and just about anything related to musical theater. I’m also a big fan of ceramics and afternoon naps—two things that help me stay grounded and appreciate small moments of creativity and rest.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience providing therapy interventions and support to children, youth, and adults in various locations. I received my undergraduate degree from University of California San Diego and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College. I support adults struggling with anxiety and stress to become the best versions of themselves.

It takes courage to begin counseling. Right now, as you search for the "right therapist", it may feel a bit like a “dating app” — scrolling through profiles, hoping to find the right person. I understand how overwhelming that can feel. Starting therapy can feel daunting. My role is to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging space where you feel understood — and where you feel like you’re truly getting somewhere. My counseling style feels more like a meaningful conversation than a formal question-and-answer session. I blend clinical expertise and experience with humor, honesty, and heart. I offer reflection, personal insight, and practical tools that help clients create real changes in their lives and relationships. As an experienced clinical social worker, I taught at the USC School of Social Work, training the next generation of therapists. I have spoken at conferences across the country for therapists and medical professionals, and I taught “Making Marriage Work” for 10 years at American Jewish University. I have helped individuals and couples strengthen their relationships through clearer communication, deeper emotional connection, and practical strategies. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist. On the Grow platform, I currently accept individual clients (only) seeking support with sexual concerns, challenges and compulsive sexual behaviors. As a private pay therapist on Grow, I am open to working with couples. In addition to my clinical work, I have long been committed to volunteer service. For many years, I have worked with the Red Cross providing Disaster Mental Health support to individuals experiencing profound trauma. I am deeply grateful to be able to offer compassionate care in these critical moments.

You love your kids, but you’re exhausted from being needed all day. The noise, the mess, and the never-ending to-do list leave you feeling overstimulated. You snap, then lie awake feeling guilty. You may wonder, “Why is this so hard for me?” or miss the version of yourself who had more patience, energy, and time. I’m Yadira Reyes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a fellow mom with ADHD, and the therapist behind Serene Space Wellness, LCSW Corp. I help moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, mom rage, burnout, and ADHD. With over 16 years of clinical experience, I bring warmth, understanding, and practical support to the parts of motherhood that can feel hard to say out loud. Working with me means having space to slow down, sort through conflicting feelings, and talk honestly without worrying about being judged. We will explore what is underneath your feelings of overwhelm, whether that’s anxiety, overstimulation, pressure to do everything, or putting your needs last. Then, we’ll build tools and routines that fit your life. I’ll help you recognize your triggers, calm your body, communicate what you need, and set boundaries that make room for you. If ADHD makes everyday tasks feel harder, we’ll create strategies that work with your brain and feel manageable. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel steadier, more connected to yourself, and more present with your family with room for your needs, too.

Welcome, my name is Julissa Santos, LCSW and I've been working in mental health for 6+ years. I aim to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported throughout your healing journey. I take a holistic, culturally responsive, and nurturing approach to therapy, recognizing that your experiences, cultural background, relationships, and environment all play a role in your well-being. I work with individuals ages 16 and older who may be navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic illness, adjustment-related challenges, or significant life transitions.

I am a Vietnamese- and English-speaking psychotherapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience supporting individuals across diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. I am deeply committed to fostering healing at the individual, family, and community levels, recognizing the interconnected nature of emotional well-being. My goal as a therapist is to provide a compassionate and supportive space for individuals navigating life's challenges, whether they are managing stress, striving for greater work-life balance, or processing personal, intergenerational, or cultural trauma. I work collaboratively with clients to strengthen their resilience, reconnect with their inner strengths, and cultivate meaningful emotional healing and personal growth. At the heart of my practice is the belief that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, validated, and genuinely understood. I strive to create a safe, culturally responsive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and move toward lasting change.

From working in East LA with 0-5 population to working with adults in the military and kids/teens in San Diego, I have had the privilege of walking alongside so many individuals and families in every facet of life. Obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in the Midwest, studying in a foreign country, and ultimately earning my Master's in California, I embrace adaptability and have gained valuable perspectives gained through varied experiences in various locations. I specialize in utilizing an attachment-based, trauma-informed, and neuroscience lens; and I embrace every individual's story. After working with me, people tend to walk away with enhanced self-understanding, improved attunement to themselves or others, and increased self-compassion. I utilize the most up-to-date methods such as Polyvagal Theory and utilize methods that are not a quick fix, rather are instrumental in providing long-term results with long-term benefits.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will actually listen—who won’t dismiss your concerns or pathologize your pain—you’re in the right place. Maybe you're wondering if you have ADHD, autism, or anxiety. Maybe you've been masking for years and don’t know where to start. Maybe you're carrying trauma, grief, or a deep sense that something has always felt a little off. I work with people who’ve spent too long feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or minimized—and are ready for something different. You don’t need a perfect narrative. You don’t need to show up polished. You don’t even need to be sure what you need yet. With over 11 years of experience, I specialize in working with neurodivergent and emotionally complex clients—including first responders, trauma survivors, and members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I have a Master’s in Clinical Counseling, a Master’s in Forensic Psychology, and I’m currently completing a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology. I combine clinical insight with curiosity, humor, and a belief in your capacity to grow—even if it’s messy.

Hi, I'm Kaytee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in a variety of setting including homeless encampments, maximum security county jail, behavioral health court, and one on one therapy.
