Therapists in California

I am a dedicated clinical psychologist (PsyD) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in behavioral health, trauma therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based practices with a client-centered focus, allowing me to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each individual. I empower clients to build resilience, recover from trauma, and enhance their self-esteem, guiding them towards more fulfilling lives. With my Indian background and rich life experiences, I bring a deep cultural understanding and sensitivity to the diverse races and ethnicities I serve. This background enhances the therapeutic space, enabling me to connect authentically and compassionately with clients navigating complex challenges. Beyond the therapy room, I am passionate about advocating for mental health and gender equity. My mission is to destigmatize mental health challenges and create inclusive, supportive environments for individuals and families. By addressing the intersection of mental health with gender and societal expectations, I strive to empower women and strengthen communities. I draw on frameworks such as Terror Management Theory to deepen my understanding of human behavior and deliver meaningful therapeutic outcomes.

I believe therapy is most effective when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I have extensive experience working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, sleep problems, grief, life stress and transitions, relationship concerns, caregiver stress, and caring for loved ones with a serious mental illness. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to meet each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect—without judgment. My approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Together we’ll work to better understand what’s contributing to your current struggles while building on your strengths and developing tools that help you move toward the life you want. I believe lasting change happens through both insight and action, and therapy should leave you feeling supported, empowered, and hopeful. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming stress, recovering from difficult experiences, or simply looking to understand yourself more deeply, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, understood, and a little more confident than when you arrived.

Hello and welcome. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I believe therapy can be a meaningful step toward restoring balance, reconnecting with joy, and living a more fulfilling life. I hold a Doctorate in Psychology and bring over 13 years of clinical experience across in-home services, outpatient clinics, and telehealth. I have supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and loss, chronic health concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Therapy, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting growth and well-being. As a bilingual therapist with a multicultural perspective, I bring compassion, cultural sensitivity, and care to each session.

Hello, I’m Kim Paylor, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), school counselor, and clinical supervisor with a diverse background in mental health, education, case management, and student support services. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, veterans, families, and young adults across school, community, and clinical settings. My experience includes working as a school counselor, special education resource teacher, therapist in private practice and telehealth settings, and clinical case manager within the HUD-VASH program supporting veterans. Prior to entering the mental health field, I also spent many years working in customer service, payroll, human resources, and university settings, which has given me a strong understanding of life stressors, workplace challenges, relationships, parenting, and major life transitions. I bring warmth, compassion, authenticity, and real-world understanding into the counseling relationship. I specialize in anxiety, emotional wellness, trauma-informed care, self-esteem, stress management, and helping clients develop healthier coping skills, emotional resilience, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. My strongest area of focus is supporting adolescents, teens, and adults between the ages of 11–45. My therapeutic style is highly person-centered, supportive, and collaborative. While I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I strive to create a counseling experience that feels approachable, practical, empowering, and genuinely supportive rather than overly clinical or judgmental. I believe therapy works best when clients feel truly heard, valued, and comfortable being themselves. I often incorporate guidance, emotional support, skill-building, and strengths-based strategies to help clients not only process challenges, but also build confidence, self-awareness, resilience, and practical tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported, empowered, and encouraged as they work toward healing, balance, and meaningful change.

I have been in the psychology field for over 20 years now. I love what I do and helping every client become successful. The relationship between the client(s) and myself is important in achieving the goals we set together. How our past experiences have influenced our current lives is a key issue. I feel that support systems in our daily lives are important to examine. The issues of separation, loss, freedom, dependence and independence are crucial to examine as one leaves home and parental influences. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families. Every session is different because every client is different, as are their problems. I'll encourage you to talk and explore, in a structured way, your feelings and experiences. Whatever the technique or clinical approach, psychotherapy is not a magical cure, it is a process to help you find the capacity for improvement within yourself. Psychotherapy aims to help you gain insight into your difficulties or distress and enable you to find more appropriate ways of coping or bring about changes in your thinking and behavior. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and events, sometimes from childhood, in a structured way to help you do it safely. I have a website that has 16 courses on it for you to do self paced sessions. I also have book I wrote on that website.

I have worked with many clients dealing with end-of-life, healing from grief and loss issues, depression, cultural conflicts, intergenerational and relationship stressors, work/life balance issues, and other life stressors that can potentially affect the daily living of a person. Honoring what we need is not selfish - it is an essential part of caring for ourselves, and creating a life where we can heal, grow, and thrive. I feel truly humbled and honored to meet each client who chooses me as their therapist. I also believe that a little humor can go a long way - it can bring lightness to difficult moments, strengthen connection, and remind us that healing doesn't always have to feel so heavy.

I am a dedicated and highly motivated client-focused Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. Therapy does not have to be dry, boring, or scary and it's okay to have fun in therapy. We all share in the HUMAN EXPERIENCE! So I may not have the same experiences as you, however, I know what feels like to make mistakes, experience hurt, love, loss, pain, and fear. I also know what it’s like to rebuild myself and have success again. Everyone experiences a range of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and situations that shape and mold us. Therefore, working with people in their time of need motivates me to help them find balance in their lives. (*If you are ordered by the courts to attend therapy, then you would need to find another clinician, as I do not do court-appointed therapy. Also, if you are dealing with suicidal ideations or self-harm, I do not specialize in that area and would direct you to clinicians who are best suited to assist you. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi, I'm Jaclyn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, perfectionism, and self-esteem. I am passionate about helping people build a healthier relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves so they can spend less time struggling and more time engaging in the things that matter most to them. Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted by constant self-criticism, food and body thoughts, anxiety, or the pressure to get everything "right." They may find themselves stuck in cycles of restriction, binge eating, emotional eating, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, despite their best efforts to change. My goal is to help clients better understand the patterns keeping them stuck while developing practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, self-compassion work, and values-based approaches to help clients develop greater awareness, emotional resilience, and flexibility. I believe that lasting change is most sustainable when it comes from a place of understanding and self-compassion rather than shame or self-judgment. Therapy with me is not about achieving perfection. Instead, it is about learning how to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, self-awareness, and kindness toward yourself. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can occur. Reaching out for support can be difficult, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life. This sounds polished for Grow while still feeling like you—warm, compassionate, and clearly focused on eating disorders and body image work.

I have an avid interest in learning about other cultures and have lived and studied abroad in Ecuador, South America.

I create a collaborative therapeutic environment grounded in safety and cultural responsiveness.
