My name is Christina Wong, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2007. I am bicultural, and fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. My first job as a social worker was working in a group home for children and youth in Hong Kong. Providing family therapy with troubled teens and their families remained the primary focus of my practice for more than a decade. I also worked with adults of all ages, from young adults to geriatrics. I am humbled to witness the positive impact brought to my clients when a renewed sense of self is obtained, and the innate abilities to solve problems is fostered. This fuels me to dedicate myself to this work for many more years to come. I use an eclectic, person-centered and humanistic approach to meet the clients where they are. I enjoy working with adults of all ages. Of particular interest are immigrants or children of immigrant families to the United States.

Hello. Thank you for starting your journey for a better you! I've worked with a variety of clients, including those who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship and/or attachment issues. I'm excited to create a safe space and to provide the support you need. I've worked with adults and children and believe that a transparent, genuine, and direct approach works best. On a personal note, I am an adoptee and a birth parent and live in gorgeous southern California. I was raised as a military brat and grew up overseas (Taiwan and Indonesia) as well as both on the east and west coasts of the US and as a result truly enjoy experiencing culture and travel. I was in the Little League World series and to this day, love to travel (especially to the Caribbean). The beach is my happy place.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience and I approach my client's care the same way I'd approach my own- transparently, empathically, and with a bit of humor sprinkled in. I try my best to provide a warm, collaborative space where children, teens, and adults feel safe, supported, and understood. I have extensive experience working with youth and especially enjoy supporting teens as they navigate anxiety, life transitions, school stress, identity development, and family or peer relationships. All the good stuff! My approach is compassionate, CBT oriented, and strengths-based, helping clients build insight, develop coping skills (by the time we are done, you will have a whole toolbox full of skills to dive into!) and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a psychologist and offer services via telehealth for individuals. Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together, we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they may be telling you, how you learned from these problems, ways they can be negotiated, and times when they are not present. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. As we explore the problems, you will find fresh perspectives and build alternative ways of responding that enable you to build better relationships and handle problems with increased flexibility. I am an interactive therapist working with you to develop and experience more confidence, focus, and motivation to meet life’s changing demands. I help people who are doing ok on the outside figure out, and understand, why they might feel so overwhelmed on the inside. You can gain insight and clarity and increase your ability to navigate life transitions, anxiety, fear, depression, and/or traumatic experiences that have impacted your quality of life.

I work with adults seeking support for trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy and am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment commonly used for PTSD, anxiety, panic symptoms, disturbing memories, and grief. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented. I provide support, guidance, and accountability while helping clients identify patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Therapy is most effective when clients are prepared to actively engage in the process and attend sessions consistently. I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy depending on each client’s individual needs and goals. After experiencing the sudden loss of my husband in 2016, I chose to pursue counseling as a second career. That experience shaped my passion for trauma work and deepened my appreciation for the impact compassionate support can have during difficult life events.

Hi there, my name is Allison. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I have over a decade of experience working with adults and teens and specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, depression and perinatal mental health. Therapy is not "one size fits all" so I always tailor my approach to fit the needs and personality of each individual client. Together we will identify your personal strengths, obstacles and values, which we will then use to set goals and ultimately facilitate meaningful change. I imagine that you have tried to manage your mental health on your own but may be feeling frustrated or stuck. Therapy can provide the support and structure that is often needed to help us overcome the many challenges life can throw our way. So if you're ready to take the next step, let's talk.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and consider working together. As there are likely many therapists who can accompany you on your journey, here’s a bit about me, which may help you make a choice. When you feel overwhelmed, lonely, self critical, or stuck in swirling thoughts and emotions, it can be hard to know how you got here or how to move forward. I understand what this uncertainty is like. The bumpy ups and downs of becoming a student, professional, partner, and parent sometimes brought me to my knees. The experiences of getting back up taught me how to thrive on the inside, even when the surrounding world feels unpredictable. This journey toward joy, connection, and inner steadiness inspired me to become a clinical psychologist, and it fuels my optimism for your healing. I offer virtual therapy for adults and older teens who want support navigating these moments and finding steadier ground. With me you’ll find a blend of: Warmth & Humility. A safe space to be yourself, slow down, and understand what’s happening Insight & Irreverence. We’ll look at the hard stuff, and probably laugh a little, too. Steady Shifts. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. Together, we’ll tackle your questions, quiet your worries, get comfortable with your feelings, and help you feel at home with yourself.

My name is Judy Jordan and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years years of professional experience in counseling with children,, adults, and families. I took an evening course in Psychology 5 when starting school, and by the end of it , I knew I wanted to become a therapist. I was drawn to understanding people on a deeper level and helping them through their struggles. With support from my dad, I left my job and went back to school starting from scratch. I loved every minute of learning and felt more certain with each class that I was on the right path. My dedication paid off...I earned straight A's and received the Academic Achievement Award in Psychology. More importantly I found a sense of purpose in supporting others on their mental health journeys.

I’m warm, solution-focused, and unapologetically authentic. I’ve been told I’m pretty chill and funny too, so expect some laughs along the way. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating a range of life situations and transitions. My practice includes but is not limited to individuals who may be experiencing trauma, exploring identity, or struggling with confidence and motivation, which can show up in various ways such as feelings of overwhelm, stress, sadness, anger, or other intense emotions. Whatever it may be for you, know this, I won’t lie to you and I won't co-sign on things you tell yourself that are not truths. What I am 100% going to do is gently lift up the things you aren't saying and what you’re avoiding. My intention is simple: to support you in navigating whatever is causing you pain, whatever is challenging you or whatever is presenting itself as a barrier. Why? Because, the only way out is to move through. Not above it, not around it, not under it - we have to go through it. Drawing from community defined, and evidence-based practices, I aim to empower clients to develop resilience, self-love, and meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs and strengths.

I specialize in treating high-level anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, infertility, and relationship difficulties. As your therapist, I tailor my approach to match the client's needs for continuous change, symptom relief, growth, and ignite personal change. I always had a passion for therapy. I knew at 7 years old this was my calling. I went on to study Sociology in my undergraduate years and went to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I then went on to get my Master's degree in Psychology from J.F.K University and graduated in 2008. In addition to my Master’s degree, I have an added emphasis of Somatic Psychology which is: ‘the study of the mind/body interface, the relationship between our physical matter and our energy, the interaction of our body structures with our thoughts and actions’. I pull from a multitude of theories and coaching techniques. Therapy can be long-term or goal-oriented with me. I find both have great advantages and I let the client guide me on that. I’m truly invested in our relationship and care deeply when working with clients. I work in Private Practice and have been a Clinical Supervisor for a Non-profit in the Bay Area. I appreciate doing private practice since I can have a deep, meaningful relationship that can help empower my clients and foster change.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients face both the real and perceived challenges in their lives with clarity, support, and renewed strength. I approach each person as a unique human being with their own story, strengths, and struggles, and I see therapy as a collaborative process of moving forward together. I work in a way that is direct and pragmatic, drawing on psychoeducation and clinical experience to give clients new ways of seeing, understanding, and coping with life’s difficulties. At the same time, my style is deeply connection-based, rooted in empathy and authenticity, with room for levity when appropriate. I am a hopeful therapist who believes in the process of growth and in our ability as human beings to continually renew ourselves. I find it a genuine honor to share in a client’s journey, and I approach the work with respect, presence, and care.

Is this the first time you thinking about having therapy? Let's talk about what therapy is and is not. Tell me your expectations. Therapy is in part, talking about how you are feeling whether you have depression, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by your work, family or relationships or by all three . But that is just the beginning. My name is Judith Copeland, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I want to help you achieve the positive changes would you like to see in your life. Do you feel you cannot cope, have no self-esteem or don’t even know what will make you happy? Together we will uncover your strengths and you will learn the skills you need to better manage your emotions. I use several treatment methods including, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Integrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor your care to your specific needs. We will explore what is holding you back from achieving your goals and help you heal from past traumas. You will learn how your negative beliefs influence your mood and get in the way of your happiness. Often, we forget that everything is connected. Mind, Body, and Spirit. We need to take care of ourselves physically, psychologically, and spiritually. We often don’t really understand how deeply connected they are to our well-being. I will help you learn that self-care is just as important and or even more important as everything else you do. We have within ourselves the ability to create the life we want and become the person we want to be. I would like to support you on this journey and look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I'm Marisa I am here to help you heal, accept, prosper, and lay down any burdens that have kept you feeling stuck. I provide a safe space for authenticity, vulnerability, and alliance as we have all experienced times of feeling misunderstood, lost, and alone. As a social worker, I take a holistic approach, considering your physical, psychological, and social well-being to best personalize what you need in our sessions. I specialize in developmental and relational trauma, grief and loss, and self-exploration. Trauma and grief change our patterns of thinking, and views of ourselves and the world around us. Together, we can develop psychological flexibility, alter behaviors that are holding you back, and implement security back into your life. I have predominately worked with transitional-aged youth, adults, and older adults with a wide spectrum of difficulties and hardships. I'm here to hear your story, support your goals, and help you uncover the "unseen" barriers that stand in your way. I utilize trauma-informed approaches and behavioral techniques to help you master skills, edit unhelpful narratives, and feel empowered to navigate life's inevitable stressors. I use a mind/body approach so that we can uncover root causes, learn greater nervous system regulation, and create healthy lifestyle habits to achieve the sustainable equilibrium you are searching for. Whether you are dealing with unprocessed loss and trauma, emotional disturbances, interpersonal challenges, or self-doubt, I'm here to collaborate with you to find peace and purpose. In our sessions, I will integrate mindfulness, psychoeducation, skill-building, curiosity, and compassion. Let's work together to redefine the parts of yourself that no longer serve you and create a meaningful life based on your values.

Hello fellow traveler, Life that is lived to the fullest is our greatest adventure. Sometimes, we get smacked with a roadblock. It is common to react with anxiety, depression, or a need to sort things out. It is normal to feel this way, yet it can seem that our ability to function optimally is affected when this happens. You can do this. You can be successful in moving through the struggle. You are not alone. I care, I will listen, I will respond, and I know what I am doing. Let me walk with you and apply my clinical knowledge as you gather new life hacks to facilitate your great journey. I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health across all levels of care. I have provided Individual, couples, family, and group counseling. I brought my years of experience to the tele-mental health world to offer the solution to time management and logistical issues to many individuals who might otherwise find it difficult to show up to their psychotherapy appointment and found much success with that approach. I have spent a large portion of my life facilitating overcoming the struggle with anxiety or pushing through depression, or one of the many emotionally debilitating mental health issues. Psychological and emotional pain is real, yet it can be managed, and we can heal.

Hi, I’m Jessica Shivers, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges. My passion for helping others began in the 11th grade when I took my first psychology class. I became fascinated by how people grow, heal, and overcome difficult experiences. I knew early on that I wanted to help others build the same sense of support, stability, and connection that I was fortunate to experience growing up with loving parents who guided and encouraged me throughout my life. Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked in community mental health, agency social work, intensive treatment foster care, case management, and behavioral health services supporting individuals and families navigating a wide range of life challenges. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the real-life obstacles people face and the resilience they bring to the healing process. As a wife, mother of two young children, and bonus mom to a preteen, I understand firsthand the joys, stressors, and complexities that come with balancing family, work, relationships, and personal well-being. My goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

As a therapist, I am committed to helping you have healthier, more balanced, harmonious lives and relationships. My therapy approach includes traditional and holistic healing techniques that involve mind, body, heart and spirit as well as things unseen. My years of experience in community mental health include individual, child, couples, co-parenting and family therapy. I am able to relate well to many different cultural, ethnic, socio-economic groups. With an M.A. in transpersonal psychology and an M.B.A. from University of Chicago plus 25 years of corporate experience, I use a broad range of skills to help my clients explore their needs and goals. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, many of my clients have learned mindfulness techniques that enhance their recovery. All of us need confidential support for different things at times. My job is to compassionately support you in what you need, with your values, to have the life that you want.

Welcome! My name is Tamer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked for nearly 10 years in different capacities such as refugee resettlement, disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+ centered care. I am most excited about creative self-expression, and I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the powerful role that stories play in shaping our everyday lives. I also find tremendous value in working together to deconstruct how these stories show up in the context of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Seeking therapy is one of the most courageous steps you can take for yourself. Whether you want to heal past wounds, resolve conflict in your relationships, or better manage the stressors of life, therapy is the space where your goals and values are prioritized. It is where you can feel safe to be vulnerable and open. Because there is no singular way to engage in treatment, therapy does not conform to strict constructs, norms, or stereotypes. Rather, therapy is meant to reflect your authentic self and promote the innate power you hold. The right therapist should honor the nuances of your life’s journey, while also helping explore the path forward that you want to lead. Every person lives within multiple stories, of family, culture, relationships, challenges, and hopes. Therapy can help you discover which stories still serve you and which stories deserve to be rewritten. The next chapter does not need to be written alone. I look forward to honoring your journey here, and your journey forward. Thank you so much!

My name is Jeremiah, and I am a professional counselor who understands what it is like to be on both sides of the therapeutic process. Having spent over 25 years in recovery and worked through my own experiences with trauma, I bring both professional training and personal insight to the counseling relationship. I am passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. My approach combines traditional talk therapy with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier beliefs about themselves and their lives. I believe healing is possible, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward lasting change.

I am a 74-year old cisgender white woman who grew up in the midwest. I've entered the field of marriage and family therapy after many other careers. I was drawn to this work through my own personal work with therapists I loved and admired. For me, the process is the very "meat" of life. Seeking to release old stuck patterns, seeking to understand, seeking to become all that we can be! We are born to be connected to others, yet we are taught in many cultures to be fierce individuals. We are born into a gender with expectations for what that means from ourselves and others--and our physical gender may not even match our inner experience! It's no wonder that we struggle to find our way through our biographies. Before becoming a therapist I worked for 25 years as a Waldorf educator. I worked with all ages--Kindergarten through high school. This is a developmental education and an artistic one. I am always informed by our developmental tasks through life, well into our final years. I also enjoy stepping into creative, imaginative when clients are open to it, even if just to think about a problem in a new way. My imagination serves me when I am with someone. I have experienced a great deal of trauma and loss, but my experience is never the same as yours. With your help I can step into your experience through my capacity to imagine.

I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued as they share their stories. Clients often describe me as warm, empathetic, and—when appropriate—a bit sarcastic. I strive to meet people where they are while also helping them recognize their capacity for growth and change. My goal is to support clients in building insight, developing healthier patterns, and moving toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I began my career in social work after having two sons with Autism and witnessing firsthand the challenges and injustices families can face. This inspired me to help others feel supported and to ensure they have someone in their corner rooting for them. I became a mental health provider because I am passionate about helping people regain their lives, find hope for better days, and overcome difficult situations and traumatic events. Life can have ups and downs, and it’s okay to ask for help and say, “this is hard.” I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have been practicing in social work since 2006. My experience spans medical social work, counseling, and mental health, and I primarily work with adults navigating life transitions, difficult stressors (work, family, or medical), chronic health conditions, and pain. I believe that wellness is holistic — we do not get sick one way or get well one way. I am committed to supporting you in your mental health journey while also helping you access the medical care you may need to achieve overall well-being.
