Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been in the counseling field for over 20 years. Through my years of experience, I have helped adults, young adults, adolescence, and children to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and family related conflicts. As a therapist My passion is and has been to help individuals become the best versions of themselves.

I’m Dr. Andy Davis, a licensed psychologist with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. Thirteen of those years were spent serving in the U.S. Air Force, where I had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress, grief, personality disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, and concerns related to sex and pornography addiction. As a sex-positive therapist, I provide a safe and affirming environment for clients to explore sensitive areas of their lives without fear of judgment. My therapeutic style is both solutions-focused and rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe therapy should be proactive and goal-driven, helping clients not only gain insight but also develop strategies for change. Clients often describe me as direct and honest, while also compassionate and collaborative—I strive to give practical feedback and advice that can be applied both in and outside of sessions. I especially enjoy working with veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and young adults. These groups often face unique challenges, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside them as they navigate life’s complexities. In addition to my clinical work, I have an extensive background in clinical research. While serving in the Air Force, I conducted sleep studies and developed modern treatment approaches for PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. This research continues to inform my practice, and I place strong emphasis on developing healthy routines, quality sleep schedules, and consistent self-care as foundations for mental health. I often work with clients to build structure into daily life, recognizing these habits play a powerful role in resilience and long-term well-being. Above all, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to face challenges, discover new perspectives, and build lasting resilience.

Hi, I’m Adriana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University and have worked extensively with clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions such as divorce, career changes, and identity shifts. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and help you reconnect with your strengths and sense of self. I’m especially passionate about helping overwhelmed professionals and individuals who are used to “holding it all together” finally have a space to focus on themselves. Therapy with me is not just about talking; it’s about gaining insight, creating meaningful change, and developing tools that you can carry into your daily life. I provide services in both English and Spanish and am committed to offering culturally sensitive, individualized care that honors your unique experiences and background. Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your healing and growth.

I’m Erin Robertson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Cozy Nest Counseling. I specialize in supporting women and families through the tender and often overwhelming seasons of pregnancy and postpartum, including the profound grief of perinatal loss. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process challenges such as exhaustion, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, and relationship strain. My approach is both holistic and deeply relational, grounded in clinical expertise and genuine care. Together, we create room for healing, helping you feel seen, supported, and gently empowered as you navigate this chapter of your life.

Do you feel lost, stuck, burned out, or afraid of the unknown? Do you struggle with self-compassion and maintaining healthy boundaries? Are you looking for a space where you can show up fully as yourself? Through a relational lens that recognizes the importance of the mind-body-soul connection, I can assist you in uncovering and working through patterns, thoughts, and experiences that are no longer serving you while re-awakening joy, connection, curiosity, and ease. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for reflection, change, personal development, and growth. It is my honor to hold space for healing and self-discovery to unfold at a pace that is directed by you. Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision that takes time and care. Schedule a free phone consultation if you'd like to connect and determine if we are the right fit for each other. I look forward to speaking with you!

As a nationally-certified, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I have extensive experience working with clients dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD and/or trauma-related symptoms. Coupled with my background in coaching, I will engage you in two ways: 1) a look back at the conditions which contributed to your current distress and 2) a look forward to define how you want to shape your future. This involves creating a specific vision of your desired outcome and a plan to achieve it. I wholeheartedly believe in the change process and, while difficult, it can lead to a more peaceful, satisfying and productive future. I am bilingual, bi-literate and bi-cultural (English-Spanish) and have worked with diverse populations both in the United States and abroad for the last thirty years.

I am an LCSW from CA. I am a rarity, as I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have lived all over southern California. I have also traveled throughout the state and known how the state is unique. I have experience working with the military, Veterans, and their families. I also have experience working with families and children of all ages. I have experienced working with mental health, chronic pain and cancer. This therapist only treats low to moderate clients. If you need therapy for court, I may not be a good fit for you. I will not be providing session notes to the court on your behalf. Also depending on what the nature of court is/why you need treatment, may not go beyond the initial assessment/first visit. If I do not feel comfortable with the reason, nature of court or any of anything along those lines; I will not be moving forward. I feel that I need to be direct with this as I have already provided previously "if you are seeking services for court; I would NOT be able to help with that. Please find another provider." Yet I am still receiving these referrals; therefore I am being direct about this and what expectations are. My journey to mental healthcare I did a lot of volunteer work and held a few AmeriCorps positions (America's version of PeaceCorps). I fell in love with helping people and I was told in order to achieve this, I would need to go back to school and complete my MSW.

Her most recent passion is her blog on Psychology Today (under law and crime) regarding the intersection of law and mental health.

Teaching about the realities of what life looks like inside the courtroom for a victim of domestic violence or rape, whether it be to a classroom of students or an audience of readers, is incredibly important to her.
