Therapists in California

I’m an LMFT/ CSAT/ CMAT doing private practice counseling and group therapy in Los Angeles. I’ve been a therapist for almost 7 years, experienced in treating sex/ porn addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, ADHD, and church hurt in private practice, recovery clinics, and faith-based settings. As a CSAT, I pay special attention to intimacy disorders, and believe the best way to treat addiction, depression, or sin is about finding real hope and meaningful connection rather than “managing bad behaviors.” What I really want you to know about me is that I believe so much in the therapy process, because my life was changed forever by the counselors that have helped me to overcome my own mental health struggles. A little more about me that makes me who I am as a therapist? I was a pastor for 17 years and I feel humbled when I can come alongside ministry leaders in a crisis of faith. As a gay Christian, I’m especially proud to share my story with other LGBTQ+ individuals who long for self-acceptance and inclusion in the church. I was a songwriter in my younger days and enjoy finding creative ways to help people heal. I believe we find our greatest purpose in the center of our pain, and I will probably get super excited when you do too.

I work alongside all my clients, collaboratively, developing goals that matter to them. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I work on fostering a special bond between myself and each client, taking a client-centered approach that respects the unique experiences that every individual brings. I work collaboratively with clients to help set meaningful goals and offer support for a wide range of concerns, including: Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use, Bipolar Disorder, Psychotic Disorders and Autism.

Do you feel unseen or unheard? Maybe you feel like you don't quite belong? Or maybe you don't feel anything at all? — Often, my clients arrive at sessions, overwhelmed from trying to juggle societal pressures and their own cultural or familial expectations. — Others are burdened with the effects of childhood trauma or intergenerational trauma. — Others may feel like impostors in their workplaces or post-grad programs. — Still others struggle to have healthy, thriving relationships with themselves or with others. As a professional therapist, I am ready to journey alongside you with humor, grace, and empathy. I hope to bring renewed hope to your path towards healing, peace, and contentment. If you value direct feedback, wholehearted encouragement, and compassionate challenges from an honest coach, don't delay and let's get started today. So, are you ready to like yourself?

We are living in difficult times. You can't seem to get over the anxiety or depression about your everyday life. What's worse, your partner or family member seems to not care at times, making things even harder for you. I understand. Better is possible, and I'm here to help. I have a passion for helping individuals in personal growth. I have been working with adults on relationship issues, anxiety, and depression for over ten years. My specialty is personal empowerment work, as I strongly believe that solid relationships are formed from solid individuals. Currently, I only take new clients for individual counseling.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my undergrad from California State University of San Bernardino, my Masters and Doctorate from Argosy University in Southern California. I have been Practicing in Mental Health for over 10 years. I have worked with children, adolescent to adults from behavior issue, family to working with those individuals incarcerated.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 16 years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate substance use disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges. My work is rooted in a holistic, trauma-informed approach that recognizes the complex connection between mental health, addiction, and family dynamics. I specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders using evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention. I also provide trauma-informed therapy to support clients in processing and healing from difficult experiences, and I incorporate family systems interventions to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen relational bonds. My approach is client-centered, integrative, and collaborative. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard while developing personalized treatment plans that foster long-term recovery, emotional resilience, and meaningful change.

Hello! My name is Sarah, I am a licensed therapist based in Carlsbad, California.

Hello and welcome. I am a straight forward, honest and genuine therapist here to help you find solutions. I am bilingual (Spanish) with 13 years of experience finding solutions and guiding clients through life's challenges. Together we will explore your strengths and uniqueness and use that to tailor our approach to finding the solutions you need.

I am a warm, collaborative therapist who is passionate about helping people feel more understood, supported, and empowered in their lives. I work with clients to navigate stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm by combining evidence-based approaches with a compassionate, personalized style. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to support lasting change and emotional resilience. I integrate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies to help clients build self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and move toward meaningful, achievable goals. I value collaboration and meet clients where they are, recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all and that each person’s journey is unique. I also have a strong interest in working with athletes, particularly those navigating major transitions such as career-ending injuries. I understand how deeply identity, purpose, and emotional well-being can be impacted when an athletic career changes or comes to an unexpected end. I support athletes in processing grief, rebuilding confidence, redefining identity beyond sport, and creating a renewed sense of direction and fulfillment. My approach emphasizes resilience, self-compassion, and helping clients reconnect with their strengths as they move forward into the next chapter of their lives.

Hi There. My name is Mimi. I am a licensed Psychotherapist. I am here to help you grow, identify and resolve emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing you from achieving the quality of life you deserve and desire. My integrative approach to therapy combines a variety of techniques to accommodate different individual needs to assist you in making choices that will help you achieve a fuller and happier life in a non judgmental, compassionate, warm, and safe environment where you will be heard and accepted. You may feel lost, empty, anxious, alone, with no place to turn to, but as we work together, I will lead you to explore those wounds and emotions that are creating the pain you feel. Clinging to old patterns and emotions is familiar and safe, but it does not serve us well. However, as we walk together, your life will begin to have the purpose you are seeking and deserve as you let go of old emotions and experiences. Taking the first step to self understanding can be intimidating and it takes courage to embark on a journey for change where you will be in control of your life and to all issues overwhelming you with anxious feelings and overwhelming thoughts. You are not alone, you can do it, and I will support you all the way as we work together!

I work with individuals seeking meaningful change, greater clarity, and a stronger sense of self. My approach is grounded in warmth, empathy, and the ability to meet clients where they are—supporting them in feeling seen, understood, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. My work is informed by more than 60 years of life experience, both professional and personal, which brings depth, perspective, and authenticity to the therapeutic process. After several careers and at age 50—supported by ten years of sobriety—I felt called to create a more fulfilling and intentional life. Through my own work in therapy and career counseling, I chose to return to school and build the life and practice I have today. This journey continues to shape my compassion, insight, and respect for the courage it takes to pursue growth and healing. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Santa Clara University in California. In alignment with California requirements for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I completed 3,000 supervised clinical internship hours at Almaden Valley Counseling Agency in San Jose, where I worked with individuals, couples, families, and children. This experience strengthened my ability to work across the lifespan and address a wide range of personal, relational, and emotional concerns.

In a world that can often feel rushed, critical, or overwhelming, therapy can be a place to slow down and feel genuinely cared for.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes that healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practices to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills for everyday life. I work at your pace, honoring your story and your strengths, not just your symptoms. I work with individuals, teens, and families experiencing emotional distress related to eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, suicidal thoughts, relationship challenges, and family disturbances. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, I aim to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and find steadier ground. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you reconnect with your resilience, learn new ways to cope, and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and aligned with who you are. You don’t have to do this alone—I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
