Change is hard, not having the tools, direction and support make the process even harder. I can help you identify areas that may be keeping you stuck. I also provide wellness and behavioral health coaching in addition to traditional therapy. The atmosphere that is created in the therapy session is one of warmth, safety, and acceptance. I have a straightforward, interactive approach to treatment. I am passionate about my work and strongly believe in the healing benefits of therapy. Reach out to me, I’d love to help you help heal, connect, & thrive. Together we can create the life you want.

I am a Psychologist licensed in California and have provided psychotherapy to individuals for over 30 years. I am also a lifelong artist and I am interested in how the creative process functions in our lives. I help people connect with their true potential that may have been ignored or forgotten in their search for meaning and purpose in their lives.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Southern California, and I’m excited to share a little about myself. I studied at California State University, Los Angeles, and have practiced for seven years. I have worked with individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. My true passion is helping people, particularly adults and older adults, discover healing and tap into their inner strengths. I’m here to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, heal from past pain, and move toward the future you envision. Let’s work together to help you thrive! At this time, my focus is solely on providing individual therapy, ensuring you receive my full attention and care. Thank you.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist supporting individuals navigating trauma, crisis, addiction, anxiety, life transitions, and unresolved conflict. I work with first responders, trauma survivors, recently hospitalized, individuals with complex PTSD, postpartum depression, or other acute mental health diagnoses. My approach is whole-person centered, exploring the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of the journey that brought you here. Together, we’ll build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Therapy doesn't have to feel stiff or intimidating. I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are—messy thoughts, difficult feelings, awkward questions, and all. My style is warm, personable, and direct, and I believe that meaningful growth happens when you feel both supported and challenged. Humor often has a place in the process, too. I work with adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and cross-cultural identity experiences. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of your next step, we'll work together to better understand what's happening beneath the surface and build practical strategies for moving forward. I offer in-person therapy in Irvine and online sessions throughout California, providing flexible support wherever you are in your journey.

My name is Gertrudis Vargas, and I am a bicultural, bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 16 years of clinical experience. I provide therapy to individuals, children, adolescents, and families, addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression and anxiety across the lifespan, relationship difficulties, family conflict, stress management, life transitions, grief, and trauma. I also have specialized expertise in supporting parents with parenting challenges and assisting families in navigating complex dynamics in a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and collaborative manner.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, a certified life coach, and a pastoral counselor being an ordained minister. Since every human being consists of a spirit, the ultimate healing takes place when there is an integration of spirituality and psychology in the treatment process, and I am devoted to this type of work. I have worked with innumerous people in North, and South America find the most hopeful, meaningful, and purposeful life over the past two decades of my practice as an ordained minister/pastoral counselor and over a decade as a mental health provider. I also do culturally competent treatment as every situation is different.

I’m Melissa Lapides, and my work centers around attachment. If you’re dating or in a relationship, we’re going to look at how your early experiences shaped the way you connect, protect, pursue, withdraw, or repeat the same patterns over and over. Together, we make sense of why you’re experiencing the challenges you’re having — not from a place of blame, but from understanding. I work with both individuals and couples to help them build more harmonious relationships rooted in emotional safety, secure connection, and real love and intimacy. When you understand your attachment style and nervous system, your relationship patterns stop feeling confusing and start feeling workable. I’m warm, direct, and grounded — think compassionate but honest. I’ll hold space for your pain, and I’ll also gently call you forward when you’re ready. I believe most struggles make sense in the context of your story and your nervous system, not because something is “wrong” with you. My goal is to help you feel more regulated, more connected, and more empowered in your relationships and your life. Healing doesn’t have to be dramatic — it can be steady, real, and deeply transformative.

Hi, I’m Dr. Amanda Hart, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I provide therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions for adolescents and adults, including difficulty adjusting to changes in relationships, work, or daily life functioning. I also work with individuals seeking support for emotional regulation, coping skills, confidence, and improving overall daily functioning and performance in personal goals. My clinical experience includes both outpatient and inpatient mental health settings, allowing me to support a wide range of symptom severity and clinical needs. My approach is integrative and holistic, incorporating CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based interventions. Treatment is tailored to each client’s goals and focuses on building practical coping strategies, self-compassion, and long-term emotional resilience. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and supported. My goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, stability, and hope.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of distress that seems impossible to get out of? I believe everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space that can help them move beyond the difficulties that anxiety, depression, or heaviness of past traumas can bring. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who understands that therapy is a holistic approach that takes the whole individual and their environment into consideration. I know firsthand how exhausting it can be when anxiety, depression, or PTSD weigh down your daily life. My focus is on helping teens and adults not just cope, but truly heal. To do this, my approach is heavily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and trauma-focused approaches. Throughout our sessions, we will build the practical everyday skills you need to reclaim your energy and create a life to be truly excited about.

My work is highly data-informed and grounded in evidence-based treatment, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes and practical skill development. My clinical approach blends behavioral and cognitive strategies with mindfulness-based and somatic practices. I value the structure and effectiveness of behavioral interventions while also recognizing the importance of emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and mind-body connection. This balanced approach allows me to support both observable behavior change and internal emotional processes. I place a strong emphasis on psychoeducation, helping clients understand the “why” behind their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can apply strategies more effectively in their daily lives. I aim to create a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment that is both compassionate and goal-oriented, where clients feel understood while actively working toward meaningful and sustainable change. Looking forward to meeting you and the best way to get to know me, see content, and even reach out to me is through my website: which is "Drzoha"

As a therapist who shares a similar background, I can understand your unique personal and professional experiences, family dynamics, and/or the stigmas against mental health in our community and culture. Have you noticed that you are often sad, worried, or irritable? Is it impacting your relationships with your partner or family? Changes in mood can be brought upon in many situations including life changes or stressors, maybe recent trauma or a past trauma that is now coming to surface. As your therapist, my goal is to provide a safe place for personal growth and healing and will provide you with specific tools to help you manage your thoughts and feelings in a new way so that you can claim your life back.

My focus of care is on Patient-centered care. Therapy is a journey of healing. Goals of care written by the client lead the way. Existential client care, driven by clinical skills developed over 20 years of experience in various settings. Ability to assess, connect, and work through life-penetrating issues whereby the approach is a strength-based manner to assist one to move to a place of confidence and empowerment. Expertise in addressing, though not limited to the following: Trauma, ADHD, Mood disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Medical Crisis, Chronic health issues that impact life, Grief and loss, Couples work, Life transitions, and Support in life-changing events, whereby skills are needed to move forward.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space for you to slow down and truly understand yourself.

I’m a 30 yr old who loves staying active...whether that’s going on runs, getting outside for hikes, or spending time at home with my cat. I love to be someone who can motivate others and serve as a strong, steady anchor during difficult times. I bring that same grounded, real-life energy into my work, creating a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and easy to show up in. Through my own life experiences, I’ve learned how to cope with challenging transitions and navigate relationship struggles, which allows me to show up in a genuine and grounded way with my clients. I’m passionate about helping young women navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and relationship struggles. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start, just showing up is enough. Together, we focus on building self-worth, setting healthy boundaries, and helping you feel more confident, grounded, and aligned in your life and relationships.

With my experience throughout my therapist career life, I find people are able to get in touch with their own voice, motivation, and wisdom when they feel heard, seen, and understood. I provide therapy with love and care to clients and help them see and change their pattern in the here-and-now moment in the therapeutic relationship. Besides providing psychoeducation and coping skills to help clients manage their symptoms, I devote my work to helping clients explore their ways of transformation and getting closer to their True Self.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in grief/loss, difficulty adjusting, anxiety and depression. I utilize an eclectic approach when working with clients, but primarily drawing from my work with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), as well as the DBT skills (dialectical behavioral therapy) mindfulness skills I have acquired in my experience. I have had an extensive background in healthcare as a community hospital social worker, as well as experience with hospice patients and their families.

I currently work with individual adults who are navigating depression, postpartum experiences, life transitions, work-related stress, and questions around spiritual well-being. I understand that even the most capable people can feel overwhelmed, disconencted, or unsure of their next steps in life- and reaching out for support is a meaningful first step toward change.

I believe that you already possess the resilience and wisdom needed to navigate life’s challenges; sometimes, you just need a dedicated space to reconnect with those inner resources. My approach is rooted in a supportive, strength-based perspective, blending mindful awareness with practical tools to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling grounded. Together, we will work to quiet the noise of "autopilot" living and cultivate a compassionate, present-focused path toward the life you want to lead.

Hello, I'm so glad you are here. My name is Lesa Vander Bie and I am a licensed MFT with 27 years experience in helping individuals.

Hello and welcome! I’m a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience, and I’m so glad you’re here. My passion is guiding people toward true, holistic wellness—nurturing your mind, body, and spirit as a whole. As a relational therapist, I believe real healing starts with a genuine connection. Our sessions will never feel like a rigid lecture. Instead, think of it as an authentic, collaborative conversation where you are fully seen, safely heard, and deeply respected. Together, we’ll navigate your path forward at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe in considering the whole person in their environment in treatment, including: intersectionality, unique lived experience, and intergenerational trauma. I am queer-affirming and encourage each client to embrace every part of themselves. Additionally, I have a passion for feminism, social justice, and healing from religious trauma. I have education and experience in the Health and Human Services field in addition to Child Welfare and Family Systems. These experiences have taught me the importance of community and the healthy, supportive relationships that promote thriving mental health.

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

I approach therapy as a collaborative process grounded in self-exploration, personal growth, and intentional change. Recognizing that each individual presents with a unique constellation of strengths and challenges, I utilize an integrative framework that draws upon a range of evidence-based practices. This allows me to develop a tailored therapeutic approach aligned with each client’s specific needs and treatment goals. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and maintain a strong commitment to ongoing professional development. I continually advance my training in trauma-informed care and empirically supported therapeutic modalities to ensure the delivery of high-quality, ethically grounded clinical care.

If you feel overwhelmed by a sea of things outside of your control— facing a new health diagnosis, a deep loss or the weight of anxiety—I am here to help you anchor yourself. I am a multi-state licensed therapist (CA, MA, WA, MD, SC) offering online therapy from coast to coast on Tuesdays and Fridays. I am dedicated to helping you move from feeling boxed in to feeling empowered to make changes. My approach is centered on controlling the controllables. We will work together to identify the practical steps you can take today whether you are navigating through a career change or new stage in your life, or processing the deeper emotional impact of grief, trauma or chronic illness. I look forward to helping you find your footing and reclaim your sense of agency.

I launched my practice for the purposes of helping clients increase self-compassion and build resilience in the face of adversity. We all find ourselves stuck at times and taking the step to start therapy is a radical act of self care. Through consistent support we can move beyond surviving to truly thriving. By first accepting who we are and processing our experience, we then are able to create change and can live more intentionally.

You deserve to feel better. If you've been feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that are hard to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Hi, I'm Michelle, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Mindset Coach with over thirty years of experience. I help people feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their emotions. My goal is to create a space where therapy feels like a real, supportive conversation—one where you can better understand yourself and begin to move forward with clarity. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, stress, or emotional patterns that leave them feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. Together, we take a closer look at what's happening beneath the surface—not just within you, but within the context of your life, your relationships, and the situations you're navigating every day. We explore how your thoughts, emotions, and stress responses are connected, and we build tools to help you respond in healthier, more empowering ways. I believe there are two important relationships worth understanding: the relationships you have with other people, and the relationship you have with yourself. A question we'll often explore is, "What happens to you when...?" Whether it's conflict, criticism, disappointment, or uncertainty, understanding how you respond under different circumstances helps you recognize patterns and make choices that better reflect the person you want to be. My approach is collaborative, practical, and down-to-earth. Together, we'll focus on the parts of your life that are within your influence… strengthening communication, setting healthy boundaries, and making changes that help your relationships feel healthier while allowing you to feel more like yourself.

My name is Mary Sowah-Quaye, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of California State University in Bakersfield. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, and relationships issues.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Ph.D. candidate in Depth Psychology with a focus on integrative healing practices. Over the past nine years, I’ve supported individuals and families across diverse clinical settings, including schools, private practice, and NGOs globally. My work centers on helping clients reconnect with their authentic Self by gently exploring the uncharted terrain of the inner world. I believe that true transformation begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what our symptoms, patterns, and longings are asking of us. Therapy with me isn’t about finding quick solutions. It’s about being witnessed in your vulnerability, meeting yourself with compassion, and remembering who you are beneath the protective layers that once kept you safe. Whether you're navigating grief, relational pain, life transitions, or the quiet ache of disconnection, I offer a grounded, compassionate space for deep inquiry and healing. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out. We can begin with a conversation and explore what’s possible.

I’m Dr. Deanna Mercado, a Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals, couples, and families in their healing journeys. My work is grounded in depth psychology, which means we look beyond surface symptoms to explore the underlying emotional patterns, relational wounds, cultural narratives, and unconscious dynamics shaping your life. I believe many struggles , anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, identity questions, or life transitions , are invitations to deeper understanding. In our work together, we will gently explore your personal history, family stories, and internal world to uncover meaning, strengthen self-awareness, and restore connection to your authentic self. My approach is reflective, relational, and culturally attuned. I hold space for the complexities of identity, ancestry, and lived experience, recognizing that healing happens not only within the individual, but in relationship to culture, community, and the larger story of your life.

I was born in the US, but I was raised in Mexico. I lived in Tijuana for 10 years when my parents decided to move us across the border to Chula Vista, California. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I experienced a duality of cultures. I was often judged for either being “not Mexican enough” OR “not American enough.” I also faced enormous pressure to be successful – to justify my parents’ having left their beloved country so my sibling and I could have a better life. This is one of many reasons I decided to follow this path: to help those who feel alone in their journey. That’s how I felt when acculturating to this country. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at San Diego State University (SDSU). I was going to go directly into the workforce and eventually go back for my master’s, but an awesome professor challenged me to apply right away so I wouldn’t lose momentum. So, that’s what I did. I ended up getting my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Southern California. It took some time and courage to finish all my licensing requirements, but it was worth it! I’ve been licensed as a clinical social worker in California since 2019. I am certified in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT.

Hello! My name is Pa. I am an individual, mother, wife, daughter, and a Hmong-American woman.

Together, we will identify and set goals that address your needs and concerns. We can also adjust and change goals as needed to adapt to the evolution of your journey.

I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.Personally experiencing the benefits of a mindfulness practice led me to obtain formal training in the study of yoga, Tai Chi and mediation so I could bring those benefits to my clients as well. Currently, I specialize in treating a wide range of psychological challenges using integrative approaches such as mindfulness based and trauma informed approaches.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles, and my Master’s degree in Social Work with a focus on Adult Mental Health and Wellness from the University of Southern California. I have experience working with clients ages 5 to 65 from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, with specialties in domestic violence, grief, and trauma. I provide a warm, empowering, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences. Using a blend of CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused therapy, I help clients build practical coping skills, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Reaching out for help can be a very vulnerable experience, but also a great attribute of strength and resilience. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma in their life. Whether it's from childhood neglect, sexual assault, natural disaster, sudden death or other life circumstances. Trauma often creates patterns and loops that extend into many areas of a person's life, and can be challenging and painful to navigate. Sometimes the way people survive their trauma brings them more pain, adds to the chaos, and reinforces negative beliefs that perpetuate the cycle. I work to empower clients to understand and alter unhealthy cycles to strengthen and better their lives. I am fluent in ASL American Sign Language and have worked with Deaf clients leaving domestic violence in both a shelter and outpatient therapy services. I have spent 2 years in correctional settings working with severely mentally ill patients and supporting their family members navigating having children with mental illness. I have also spent 2 years working with foster youth and foster parents in providing support to their placements, promoting healing and preserving relationships. Note that online scheduling is limited. Broader scheduling options will be available to regularly scheduling clients. Please also note that I do not provide opinions about disability or fitness to return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request for such opinion is made.
