Life is not going as you planned. You are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and confused. Need someone to talk it over with and find solutions in a safe space. I'm here for that and so much more. My approach is practical and personal. You won't be overwhelmed because the way I work is to make the difficult, easy.

You will have my support and encouragement to succeed. Therapy is your work to be done; I will be your guide.

Greetings, My name is Yvonne Gordon. If you have reached my page, then you may going through a transitional season in your life. Sometimes within these seasons, we need someone to walk along side of us; someone to understand, listen, and help us to sort through the intertwined feeling and emotions. Some of these emotions may stem from our past, and some may stem from fears of the future; yet, both instances require the ability to rest and be present in the current moment in knowing that we are emotionally safe, and we are here now! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Christian Counselor with experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, family concerns, spirituality, suicidal ideation, and self-injury. I offer video telehealth sessions through Grow Therapy. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate place to explore the deeper matters of the heart. I also support those seeking healing within their spiritual walk, and any damage and/or blockage that may have taken place along the road. I believe that healing is possible, despite the circumstances, and often involve us taking one step at a time as we enter into the darker regions of our heart. If you are ready to walk this path, I would love to support you one step at a time.

Hello, I am Joann Silva, Life has a way of constantly throwing the unexpected at us. Do you believe you are not up to the challenges that are piling up? Do you think you are just recycling old life issues? Strategies that used to help you cope do not work or you have outgrown them? No issue is too small or too big. With over 45 years in this field, I believe I have encountered almost every kind of human trauma and can help you bring yourself back to peacefulness and joy in living. I have years of being a great listener - funny and heartfelt and skilled at helping my clients find their confidence and joy, and reset their resilience to tackle life's long list of hits. I am a student of nature and human nature. I will always look to help you see all of your health and strength and nature responses to stress. As you educate me about you and your life, and the things that work and do not work, we will put together the most ancient and newest wisdom and skills undo your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles. We will work to lessen or eliminate those symptoms of distress called anxiety, depression and the myriad of other symptoms that are confusing and overwhelming. We will work to help you find your center, your peace, passion and use all of the past struggles to empower you again. My goal for each session is to lessen your stress or upset, to offer laughter to break up pain, to bring stories and wisdom to help with your concerns and new ways to master the internal and external challenges you are facing. I look forward to walking a bit with you down that road to a new joy.

Is your inner critic really loud, having trouble coping with stress, seeking life balance and a deeper connection to your authentic self? Well I am here to help! Hello there future client! Lovely to meet you! My name is Rachelle (pronounced rey-chuhl). I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a specialization in Art Therapy, a Holistic Practitioner, bilingual English/Spanish speaking, a first gen Dominican-American, and former New Yorker living in SoCal. I specialize in supporting BIPOC experiencing chronic mental health issues define themselves as individuals and not by any trauma they may have experienced. In addition to applying a trauma-informed lens, psychology, and art, I integrate holistic approaches like Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, somatic movements, and sound therapy to create unique treatment interventions for my clients. I know that starting therapy can feel scary. Especially when you have been labeled as "the problem", think you are not good enough, or have been conditioned to suppress your emotions. This is why developing trust in the first stage of treatment is of the utmost importance to me. I apply a compassionate and non-judgmental stance to help my clients feel safe when sharing their stories and starting their therapeutic journey. Think we could be a good fit? Go ahead and schedule your first session. Let's work together to help you connect with your authentic self and improve your mental health! Looking forward to hearing from you! Please note - I am not a good fit for clients interested in couples therapy, clients experiencing thoughts of death/dying with or without a plan, clients engaging in self-harm, clients who have been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons at anytime in the past 12 months, clients needing support with substance use, and/or children aged 8 and under.

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm excited about the potential of working with you in developing a sense of integration and resilience in your life. Are you feeling stuck? Dissatisfied in your relationships and/or work? Disconnected from a sense of deeper purpose? Feel that there is the potential for greater richness and joy in life, but it is just out of reach? Rooted in a compassionate curiosity, our work would explore these themes through inquiry into the dynamic between your conscious, unconscious, somatic, and relational self. Using a holistic lens we can unpack the how's and why's of your patterns; gaining insight into your emotions and experiences, and work towards greater self-awareness and well-being. From a somatic, psychodynamic approach we will focus on the connection between the body and the mind, and how emotions and past experiences can be stored in the body and affect an your mental and physical well-being. Through the use of techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based exercises, you will become more aware of your physical sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts and emotions. This may also include exploring early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and past traumas, as well as working through issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

Hello my name is Sandra Nunez, and I provide intuitive psychotherapy services to individual, children, couples, and families in need of counseling. People search for therapy for various reasons. Most often these reasons include feelings of sadness, experiencing difficulties adjusting to life changes, difficulties dealing with chronic physical pain, emotional pain, trauma, depression, anger, and anxieties. Perhaps you are trying to heal from a difficult relationship breakup, leaving you feeling sad and defeated. It could be that you are a part of a newly formed blended family, living together for the first time, and instead of joy you are experiencing chaos. You may be seeking help, because your spouse has received orders for yet another deployment with the military. Having to say goodbye once again, leaves you feeling frustrated, anxious and sad. Often people come to therapy due to grief and loss. People dealing with difficult life changes, may experience a range of negative emotions, from sadness, anxiety to anger. These feelings often manifest as stress, which may cause further strain in personal relationships or affect one’s quality of life. Guiding Hope Individual and Family Therapy in San Diego, California is a private online practice owned by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health, serving clients in the State of California and Colorado.

Hi there, I’m glad you’re here! My name is Caitlin, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with high-functioning young women and emerging adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADD/ADHD, and emotional health concerns related to hormonal imbalances, including PCOS. My approach is laid-back and grounded in holistic health, integrating traditional therapy with Wellness Coaching to help clients cultivate balance and build resilience. I work best with women who are ready to actively engage in the therapeutic process and take empowered steps toward growth. I support women who may appear—or aspire to be—capable and “put-together” on the outside, yet are ready to let go of perfectionism and the pressure of keeping up appearances, show up more authentically, and experience deeper clarity, emotional balance, and meaningful change. If you’re seeking to reconnect with your authentic self, exhale, and support your overall well-being, this may be the right space for you. For clients who desire faith integration as part of their therapeutic journey, I’m happy to incorporate that as well. In our sessions, I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, Sports Psychology, and Solution-Focused approaches—to support meaningful and sustainable growth.

Hello! I’m Sandra V. Chávez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Psychological Assistant with the California Board of Psychology. I’m passionate about helping individuals grow both personally and emotionally through client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies. As a first-generation Latina, I learned ambition, tenacity, and determination from my parents. My educational journey includes dual bachelor’s degrees in Liberal Arts and Sciences and Psychology, as well as a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. I’m currently on the path to becoming a licensed psychologist. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a nurse and briefly attended medical school in Southern California. That experience deepened my interest in understanding the brain, human development, and the impact of environmental factors on behavior. I specialize in supporting clients through mood disorders, life transitions, and self-empowerment challenges. My strengths lie in helping individuals develop emotional intelligence, identify, and understand their emotions. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique needs, which is why I use an integrative, eclectic approach that draws from evidence-based methods and holistic practices, including mindfulness and positive psychology. I also enjoy working with individuals who incorporate their faith into their mental health journey. For those open to incorporating their faith as a tool for healing, I create a safe, welcoming space where spirituality and therapy work hand in hand. Above all, I value building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to offer a non-judgmental environment where your thoughts and emotions are respected and where real progress can be made. Together, we’ll explore strategies, assignments, and tools that help you overcome life’s hurdles and achieve lasting personal growth and fulfillment. Let’s begin this journey together!

You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

Hello! My name is is Sehaj and I am so glad you are taking the first steps to healing. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming thoughts, emotions, past trauma, anxiety, or depression, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself in a meaningful and lasting way. I offer a compassionate space where you can process your emotions, rebuild trust in your body, and foster an authentic life. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, which means I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without fear or judgment. I believe that our past experiences, especially in relationships, shape how we respond to the world and ourselves. Through the lens of attachment theory, I help you understand how early relationships impact your current patterns, and we work together to heal those relational wounds. Additionally, I integrate a somatic approach to therapy, which focuses on a mind-body connection.

I am a Christian and Afro-Caribbean mom and forever learner. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I dipped my toe into psychiatry for the first time as a high school student and am still furthering my education in clinical psychology today. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available to individuals who have always looked inward, fist-fought generational patterns, and still feel stuck in a world that says they need 15 more tasks completed by yesterday. I work to be a safe resting place for people who have moved from therapist to therapist, searching for someone who will truly see them for who they are rather than who the world has tried to mold them into. I desire to fill the Keturah-sized space in that wellness gap. I enjoy working side-by-side with clients to explore areas of possibility, rest, healing, and growth, and then provide the tools to make these things possible.

We do not need to struggle any longer against our old conditioned patterns... we must only recognize them for what they are. Hello! My name Is Natalie Knight and I am an LCSW who is passionate about utilizing the strength of the therapeutic alliance as a support to enter into an exploration of what is beckoning for our attention at any given moment. I believe once we learn how to meet our emotions that we can clear ourselves of old past traumas or new ones. I have been doing this work for the past eight years professionally. I use a person-centered approach in my counseling practice which emphasizes that the client is the best authority for his/her own life and that the answers to his/her questions are inside of them. I serve as a mirror to reflect to the client the inherent wisdom that we uncover during our therapy sessions. I also rely strongly on EMDR as a modality to help client with the root of their trauma. This process has been quite effective for me in my search for understanding and I hope to be able to share it with others who feel called to this type of work with me as well.
