Hello! I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can take courage, and my hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
From school-aged youth to aging adults, in both underserved areas and affluent communities, I have supported clients navigating complex personal, social, and political landscapes. I’ve been an advocate and resource for clients through moments of profound uncertainty—including ICE raids, community crises, and the isolation of the COVID‑19 stay‑at‑home period. Across every setting, I strive to meet people with respect, curiosity, and a deep belief in their capacity for growth.
I am a queer identified, cisgender, white male who's deeply proud of the LGBTQ+ community I'm part of and our diverse range of identities, abilities, and ways of life. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy staying physically active and creative. Listening to music, going to concerts, and personally performing help me to recharge and find joy.
When booking a session with me you can expect to be greeted with openness and comfortability. I am a very personable person and aim to ease you into our therapy journey. I provide a safe, relaxing environment where you will feel comfortable uncovering the issues you are experiencing.
My approach is calming and kind, and because of my personality I focus on positive outcomes. I believe you have the capability to relearn negative thinking and behaviors that have contributed to life's struggles.
My experience covers adults and adolescents in areas of trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, grief/loss, infertility, adoption, life transitions, and suicidal ideation/attempted recovery.
I know therapy can be scary and intimidating, however with me you will feel like I really do care and understand what you are trying to say. My goal is that you leave your session feeling positive and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.

Hi! I'm Kelly Miltenberger, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth services to children, adolescents, and adults across California. As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I have extensive experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and deeply value culturally responsive care.
I earned my Master of Science in Counseling, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from California State University, Los Angeles, where I also completed my Bachelor of Arts in Child Development. My education and clinical training provided a strong foundation in evidence based practices, lifespan development, and relational dynamics, which continue to guide the way I support my clients.

My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on building resilience, increasing self awareness, and helping you develop practical tools that you can use in your everyday life.
I offer flexible virtual sessions designed to fit into your schedule while providing accessible, high quality care.
Hello all!
I really enjoy meeting people where they are in their life journey and using a nonjudgmental approach to help them get out of life what they want. My last position was working for the last few years with high risk foster youth that struggled with extreme behaviors. Currently I work with prenatal and postpartum mothers experiencing housing insecurity.
In my personal life I am a wife and mother to two beautiful girls. I live in Santa Cruz and love being on the beach and taking my girls on adventures.
I’m a warm, authentic and persistent 51-year-old who loves this work. Clients often feel like they’re having an insightful, heartfelt conversation rather than a formal therapy session.
I create a space of deep listening and acceptance where you can explore your inner world safely and honestly. By helping you understand and care for the parts of yourself that carry pain or conflict, we ease anxiety and depression and open the door to greater balance and emotional freedom. I speak with an accent—just something to keep in mind.
Soy una terapeuta de 51 años cálida, autentica y determinada que ama profundamente este trabajo. Mis clientes suelen sentir que están teniendo una conversación sincera y llena de claridad más que una sesión de terapia formal.
Creo un espacio de escucha profunda y aceptación donde puedes explorar tu mundo interno con seguridad y honestidad. Al ayudarte a comprender y cuidar las partes de ti que cargan dolor o conflicto, aliviamos la ansiedad y la depresión y abrimos la puerta a un mayor equilibrio y libertad emocional.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a holistic therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting women through life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting, neurodiversity, and post-traumatic growth. My work is grounded in deep listening, compassion, and an intuitive understanding of each client's unique inner world. I believe healing happens in the context of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities while honoring your unique healing process. I truly believe that you are "your best healer" and the work is about connecting you back to your innate wisdom.
I am passionate about helping each individual live life to the fullest. I take a compassionate and action-based approach. We will strategize together and collaborate on possible solutions for your long standing or brief challenges. I will guide you as you reflect upon whichever subject you choose and together we will come up with a plan of goals and strengths.
I’m Dr. Claudia Nuñez a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is not about reliving pain for its own sake. It is about understanding what your suffering has been signaling, and bringing that understanding into the present so you can live with more clarity, self compassion, and choice.
Many of the people I work with feel caught in anxiety and overthinking, people pleasing, guilt, burnout, or a deep sense that something needs to change but they cannot quite name what. Others are moving through grief or life transitions that have shaken their identity, relationships, or sense of direction. Some are navigating a spiritual calling or values shift, and feeling both pulled toward meaning and exhausted by the weight of it all.
My approach is integrative and evidence based, with Internal Family Systems as a foundational framework. We work with symptoms and patterns as strategies that once helped you get through something difficult. Together we identify what those strategies have been protecting, understanding your unique history, what you truly need now, and how to respond in ways that feel more aligned and sustainable.
Alongside talk therapy, I incorporate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and narrative reflection so insight becomes change you can feel in real life. When helpful, we use grounding and breath practices to support nervous system regulation, not to bypass pain, but to build steadiness and stay present with what is true. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma informed, and culturally responsive. We move at a pace that respects your boundaries while supporting meaningful growth.

I encourage clients to explore their inner worlds and express themselves authentically; while also establishing solid supports, and grounding awareness within the context of their lives.
My name is Ari Walker. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in mental health for 10 years and have been a clinician for 5 years. I am a mom, wife, and lover of nature and coffee. I love walking along side clients on their journey to discovering themselves as they pave their path to healing. I believe humans are extraordinary and capable of amazing things and it is my joy to come along side to help them tap into their already there strength and wisdom in order to meet their mental health goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience across diverse settings, which has shaped my deep understanding of people, trauma, and the pathways to true healing and restoration. My work has allowed me to walk alongside individuals in some of their most vulnerable moments and support meaningful, lasting change.
For several years, I served in a church setting as a lay counselor, where I integrated a Biblical perspective into counseling. Through this work, I have seen how faith-informed care can bring profound healing to the whole person—mind, body, and soul. I believe that when spiritual insight and clinical understanding come together, clients can experience deep inner renewal and freedom.
I have also worked in a psychiatric hospital, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary treatment teams in high-acuity environments. This experience strengthened my clinical skills and gave me firsthand insight into what truly helps individuals stabilize, heal, and regain hope during times of crisis.
In my practice, I primarily use Solution-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-based modalities, thoughtfully tailored to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to help you identify strengths, move through trauma, and find practical tools for growth—while creating a safe, compassionate space for inner healing.
I work with individuals seeking healing from trauma, emotional pain, and life challenges, and with those who desire faith-integrated care. Together, we will focus on restoration, clarity, and lasting change so you can move forward with purpose and wholeness.
Are you feeling frustrated, "stuck", stressed, or hopeless? This can happen at different points in our lives. There can be challenges, traumatic events, a feeling of loneliness, and hopelessness. Sometimes one needs support during significant transitions in life. Therapy can provide an opportunity to explore your feelings during these times. Finding a therapist who will listen, be supportive, and help guide you toward the path of life you want to lead is important.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of expertise in providing psychotherapy services to individuals of all ages, couples, and families. In my practice, I help my patients learn about patterns that impact their lives and help them learn how to cope and thrive.
