“ Children have very deep feelings just the way parents do, just the way everybody does. I feel striving to understand those feelings, and to better respond to them, is an important task in our world” - Mr. Rogers This belief is at the heart of my work. Howdy! My name is Amanda Munoz and I have over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults across school settings, home environments, and community-based counseling programs. In my work, I strive to meet young people where they are, helping them feel seen, heard, and understood as they navigate their world and make sense of their experiences. I believe my role is to support folks with curiosity, warmth, and consistency as they learn about themselves, their emotions, and their relationships. It is an honor to walk alongside them as they grow in confidence, connection, and self-awareness.

Therapy is my passion! I absolutely love to watch my clients grow and change before my eyes. Hi, I’m Lois, Mother of 3 amazing boys, business owner and lover of life. I have learned so much through my years of working with clients individually, in groups and with families and couples. What I have learned is that as humans we are resilient! We have been given this life to have joy and life lessons. I have been honored to guide and encourage many clients over the last 20 years. It is my life purpose to help others especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy that is around us. I use many different modalities to guide clients on their journey. One of my main modalities is EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) which are both very effective healing modalities. I'm always excited to learn new techniques and offer a variety of modalities to assist my clients in their healing journey. I also use short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness among others to bring about change. I truly believe as a therapist I must do my own work, for I cannot take you to a place that I have not visited. I have done many years of my own therapy, attended healing retreats, participated in group therapy and attended 12 step meetings, writing and more recently I became certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. My main goal for the Kundalini teacher training was to deepen my practice, to understand myself and others on a deeper level and to inspire others to use self care, chanting and meditation to create healing physically, spiritually and mentally.

I bring both professional and personal experience to my work as a therapist. Having a Bipolar 1 (with psychotic features) diagnosis has given me a unique perspective on the challenges of navigating the institutional and often stigmatized aspects of mental health and the impact on day-to-day life. This lived experience allows me to approach therapy with empathy, a genuine curiosity and appreciation for each client’s journey, while also emphasizing overall holistic living for optimal wellness of mind and body. Professionally, I’ve worked in psychiatric residential treatment, addiction medicine, youth detention and private practice settings. These experiences have strengthened my ability to support clients through a wide range of concerns from mild to severe forms of mental health challenges and their impact on daily living. I integrate a lot of somatic and sensory-based tools focusing on emotion and nervous system regulation, including brainspotting, drumming, sound therapy, aromatherapy, meditation techniques and other mindfulness tools, along with an emphasis on nature therapy, nutrition in relation to mental health and sleep hygiene. Alongside these approaches, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to examine and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen emotion regulation, and collaborate with clients to develop the most applicable coping strategies in those areas. I have extensive experience supporting clients with addictions, complex PTSD/trauma history, ADHD, BPD, bipolar and schizophrenia, among others. "Based on your exceptional client engagement and outstanding care, you’ve officially qualified as a 2026 Grow Therapy Thriver! 🎉 (400 out of 25,000+ providers) This recognition reflects the meaningful relationships you build with clients from the start and the trust you inspire through your work. Becoming a Thriver places you among a select group of providers who set the tone for excellence across the Grow platform. We’re honored to celebrate this milestone with you."

Most of my experience as a psychotherapist has been in treating individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, and other significant life changes (workplace stress, chronic illness, aging). I have worked in health and human services in different parts of California for the past 30 years. I have been a telehealth psychotherapist since 2021. Just before the pandemic I was working with people who needed support to find housing and provide for their basic needs, as well as people needing substance use treatment. As a social worker I have also worked with people experiencing trauma, chronic health conditions/disabilities, age-related circumstances and grief/loss. (Also, I have a good understanding of social services and mental health resources in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially Contra Costa County. In my free time I enjoy baking, hiking, playing with my Boston Terrier, Bruno and watching baseball.

I am a bilingual and bicultural Vietnamese American Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am an immigrant who have lived, studied and worked in the US since 2003. I have practiced mental health counseling since 2010. I am married and have a grown daughter who has "flown away to be free." Outside of work, I love going fishing whenever I can and taking long walks daily.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional challenges. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier patterns. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, balanced, and better equipped to manage daily life challenges with clarity and confidence.

Hi, glad you're here! I'm Maty, a California LMFT, and I work with adults who want deeper self-understanding, real change, and a greater sense of trust and safety within themselves. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment patterns, life transitions, identity exploration, or the feeling of being stuck in the same loops even when they “know better” intellectually. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I integrate relational, attachment-oriented, psychodynamic, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches, with attention to the nervous system and what your body is communicating. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about patterns, and make space for the parts of you that have been working hard to protect you. I aim to create a therapy space that feels warm, human, and safe enough for your nervous system to exhale. Over time, clients often report feeling more grounded, less reactive, more connected to themselves, and more able to show up authentically in relationships and daily life.

Hi, I'm Eliana. I received my M.S. in Counseling at California State University, Los Angeles. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014. I began my professional career working in both outpatient and school-based services with children, adolescence, and parents. For the last 5 years I have been working with adults (18+) through telehealth. I have been able to demonstrate true compassion, dedication to clients’ well-being, and outstanding work ethic. I am also bilingual in Spanish and have been able to offer services to a diverse population.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of clinical and therapeutic experience. I have a masters degree from USC with a concentration in children and families. During my Master’s program, I lead and facilitated substance abuse group therapy, assisted multiple diagnosis individuals in a group home setting, and received internship hours at a women’s victims of crime outpatient treatment center, and a community clinic. I also have 5 years experience in mental health private practice.

My experience as a therapist is wide-ranging: I have worked in adult rehab, child development, college counseling, women's trauma recovery, and individual online and in-person work with teens, adults, and seniors. I currently work exclusively with adults and seniors in an online setting. I found my way to therapy living and working across three continents, through careers in the theatre, and in teaching at all levels up to post-graduate professional development. My clinical and life experiences have helped teach me the value of community, and a strong and dynamic sense of self-worth.

I am a licensed therapist with a background in clinical leadership, having served in management and director-level roles overseeing behavioral health programs. I have extensive experience working with individuals with severe mental illness, including those in high-acuity settings, where I’ve been responsible for program development, clinical oversight, and supporting multidisciplinary teams to deliver effective, ethical care. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a range of settings including community mental health, managed care, and structured treatment programs, where I supported large patient populations and helped implement systems focused on outcomes, stability, and continuity of care. This experience has shaped my ability to work with complex clinical presentations, crisis situations, and individuals navigating significant life disruption. In my clinical work, I help clients who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential concerns—especially those struggling with questions of meaning, identity, and direction. I integrate evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based therapy to provide both practical tools and deeper, insight-oriented work. My style is direct, collaborative, and grounded. I bring both clinical expertise and real-world leadership experience into the therapy space, helping clients move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

I feel each individual enters the therapeutic relationship in their own distinctive way. I strongly believe that every person is the author of their own story and unique in their narrative of what change looks like for them on a personal level. I am passionate about helping people make change both big and small that will enhance their sense of seIf and ability to create more meaning and authenticity in their lives and relationships.

Understanding human behavior and how such shapes our lives is a key essential component to unraveling the complexities of who we are. As a seasoned Clinician, I work closely with my clients via joining them on their journey and provide an encouraging environment via a psychodynamic and holistic approach and assist those who are truly motivated to seeking change and mastery in their lives.

I’m Cory Sullivan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Southern California.

I take an eclectic, integrative approach to anxiety and depression, blending practical tools, psychoeducation, and collaborative support. My clients know they don’t have to face this alone — we work through it together.

Hello, I'm Nora, a bilingual licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in perinatal mental health.

Hey there! I’m really proud of you for being here. Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you’re used to pushing through, holding it together, and being the strong one—but it’s so worth it. I’m Dana, a Licensed Clinical Therapist, full-time travel medical social worker, and the founder of Healing Convos. Outside of therapy, I’m navigating real life just like you, balancing work, family, responsibilities, and all the roles we’re expected to play. Being on the move as a travel medical social worker has shown me just how common burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling “stuck” really are, especially for people who are constantly pouring into others. As a millennial therapist, I understand how exhausting it can feel trying to keep up with hustle culture, societal expectations, and the pressure to always be “on.” Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are outside of their responsibilities. Whether it’s navigating toxic work environments, relationship or friendship breakups, family dynamics, or simply feeling lost in adulthood, you’re not alone. I offer part-time therapy for individuals who are ready to slow down, check in with themselves, and build healthier ways to cope, heal, and move forward—without judgment and at your own pace. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s self-awareness and learning how to show up for yourself in a way that feels sustainable. I created Healing Convos to give Millennials and Gen Zer's, especially men and women of color, a safe space to explore these challenges, find their voice, and reconnect with their values. If you’re ready to stop chasing and start living a life that feels intentional, peaceful, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

The most important relationship that you have is the one with yourself. Regardless of your reason for seeking support, my goal is to walk through the journey with you. Whether it be navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression, or infertility, my goal is to help people grow and learn to navigate life's challenges. I have a deep understanding of the intricate interplay between mental health, relationships, and reproductive challenges. I approach my work with warmth, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to fostering positive change. I can support clients in navigating the complex emotions associated with fertility struggles, offering guidance and support throughout the journey, whether it involves medical interventions, adoption, or alternative paths to parenthood. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who have been victims of early childhood trauma.

You’ve done therapy before. You’re self-aware, insightful, and capable—but your relationships still feel confusing, anxious, or one-sided. You overthink texts, question your needs, or stay in situations that leave you feeling unseen or emotionally drained. Despite insight, the pattern keeps repeating. I specialize in helping women who feel stuck in confusing or painful relationship dynamics understand why this keeps happening—and how to change it. We break cycles of anxious attachment, over-giving, and self-doubt by working at the root—not just understanding it—so you can create relationships that feel clear, secure, and aligned. My work focuses on attachment patterns, codependency, and deeper relational wounds—but more importantly, on helping you create real, lasting change. Together, we build self-trust you can actually rely on, set boundaries that hold, shift relationship patterns at their root—not just manage symptoms. This is active, insight driven work to move you forward.

Whether you’re working to improve a relationship, make a difficult decision, break unhealthy patterns, or face a personal challenge, you deserve support — and change is possible. I help clients identify patterns in their struggles and successes, so they can understand themselves more fully and move forward with greater clarity and strength. My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, attachment theory, psychodynamic principles, and strength-based practices. Together, we’ll focus on building self-compassion while working through the areas that feel stuck or painful. In session, I am an active and engaged therapist. I bring warmth and compassion, and I’m also direct when needed — offering honest feedback in the spirit of growth and support. We will co-create a space where you feel safe, respected, and free of judgment — a space to explore, reflect, and begin to ease emotional pain. In addition to English, I speak and write fluently in Farsi. I work exclusively with individual adults.

I am a licensed counselor with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges, including trauma, grief, anxiety, and major transitions.

My goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered on their journey toward healing and growth.

Hello! I’m Tiffany Winston a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) in the state of California.

Hello and welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the human experience. My work is guided by the belief that healing emerges when we feel truly seen, heard, and held—an approach that honors both the conscious and unconscious dimensions of your inner life. I offer a holistic, integrative approach that engages mind, body, and spirit. I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted sessions (KAP), and provide both preparation and integration support to help these experiences become a source of profound insight and growth. My practice moves beyond traditional talk therapy. I see storytelling not just as expression, but as a doorway to transformation. Through connecting with the body and attending to the felt sense of experience, clients can shift entrenched patterns, reclaim fragmented parts of themselves, and cultivate lasting change. By exploring both the personal and archetypal dimensions of your inner world, we work to cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and in life’s unfolding. Healing is not simply intellectual—it is a process of reconnecting with the wholeness of who you are, integrating the wounded, the wise, and the curious parts of yourself to step more fully into your life.

Hello my name is Amy! I have been a mental health therapist for about 8 years. My clients would most likely describe me as empathetic, open minded, and authentic. I have worked with many different people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I provide English and Spanish telehealth therapy services in California. Just because we have been going through life in survival mode does not mean we should continue to have to. Seeking help is not always easy, especially when we are feeling uncertain, lost, or defeated. At times, people need some extra support to process things with, manage difficult emotions, and be comfortable in our own skin. My role as a therapist is to listen, guide, and to help you navigate through life’s challenges. My goal is to teach you healthy coping skills that will enhance current, new and past relationships. Therapy is a collaborative journey to help you move forward. I believe that the relationship we build together will create a supportive and safe place to be yourself and dive into your true healing. One of my specialties is helping clients feel understood and supported.

Whether it’s life’s little annoying stressors or more complex issues, as a trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand what this is like and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Whether you choose me or another therapist, make the choice to just give it a try. Sometimes all you need is another person to hold the light while you do the work you need to heal.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing, anxiety, depression, internalized and/or externalized anger, or managing emotions in general in a healthy manner? Did you experience childhood trauma and feel like you grew up too fast? Were you labeled "different," "the "caretaker," "black sheep," or "troublemaker"? I teach people how to prioritize and honor all parts of themselves, not just the "desirable" ones. We will work through parts people generally dismiss and ignore such as anger, resentment, shame, and disgust, and learn how to embrace them gracefully. I'll teach you the skills to feel more at peace. As your therapist, I will be challenging and direct, yet empathetic and compassionate. I will challenge you through introspective questioning that will lead you to your own answers. I help you take what you've learned and apply it to your own life by giving you things to think about and work on between sessions, along with resources and handouts to remember. I hope you'll witness yourself feeling more empowered, confident, and more at peace with yourself as my other clients have. You will notice your relationships evolve and change, which can be scary! Rest assured, you will be provided with skills to gracefully go through them. Everything you seek is already inside you. All I’m doing is helping you remember.

I have worked with a very diverse population including, youth, families, disabled, adults, terminally ill, and elderly. Common areas of focus have included anxiety, depression, stress management, and adjustment. I am huge on meeting you where you are and allowing your time, to be your time. At the end of the day, we are a TEAM! There is only one expert on your life, and that's YOU! I am just here as your teammate to help you navigate and explore the ins and outs of your journey by providing validation, alternative perspectives, and a safe non-judgmental space. **Please NOTE: I am not able to accept minors at this time.**

I'm excited to be here. I love my work with clients. My goal is to uplift my clients toward being in their best confident purposeful selves. You are welcome here. Let’s find your path to inner peace and personal growth. I offer a safe space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts, overcome challenges, and develop your full potential. Whether you're feeling anxiety or experiencing a life transition, I'm here to support you on your journey. Take your first step towards a happier, healthier you by experiencing the transformative power of therapy. With your interest, this is what we are able to do together: "Sierra Forest is a talented and empathic therapist who has the ability to help people change and transform their lives."
