I’m Hannah, and I have been working with people for over twenty years in a variety of capacities. I hold a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I care deeply about people and feel honored to walk alongside them in their healing journeys, offering compassion, presence, and support as they create meaningful change in their lives.
Hi, I’m Audie, and I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship dynamics, professional development, and family conflicts. Welcome to my practice.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and graduated with my master's in marriage and family therapy from USC Rossier School of Education.
My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique needs. I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients and those in monogamous, ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous or other types of relationship structures. Therapy is a space for self-discovery and growth, and I’m here to support you in creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Please note that I can only see those interested in doing couples therapy as private pay clients. (Unfortunately most insurance contracts do not include couples therapy as a billable service but I can discuss a sliding scale rate with you).
I am a licensed therapist in the state of California specializing in the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and my masters (MA) in counseling psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. Entering the field after working as an advocate for women suffering from physical and sexual violence, I have over 8 years of experience working with traumatized individuals.
Hello I’m Christine Lam, a licensed clinical counselor based in California. I specialize in helping individuals better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. One phrase you’ll often hear me say in therapy is, “You are the expert on your own life.” By that, I mean that you bring the lived experiences, insights, and wisdom that come from being you. My role is not to tell you who you are or what you should do, but to serve as a collaborative guide - helping you make sense of your experiences, emotions, and patterns in a space free from judgment, expectations, or performance. My goal is to create an environment where you feel fully seen, understood, and welcomed exactly as you are.
I'm Matt Darst, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Southern California, with advanced training in military and veteran clinical social work. I work with adults who are motivated to change but feel stuck — navigating trauma, addiction, mood disorders, OCD, grief, or the kind of cumulative pressure that quietly builds until something gives.
My clients tend to be high-functioning people who look fine from the outside but are carrying more than they let on. That includes professionals managing stress and burnout, veterans and first responders, and anyone who's ready to do honest, purposeful work — regardless of background or title.
I bring a direct, warm style grounded in kind accountability. I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you move.
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Naturopathic Doctor with over five years of experience providing compassionate, holistic care through telehealth. My journey into healthcare began organically—people naturally sought me out for emotional and energetic support, and I wanted to serve them with integrity and expertise. I pursued my clinical doctorate in naturopathic medicine to honor that calling, then specialized in mental health through my counseling training because supporting emotional wellness has always been my deepest passion.
I work primarily with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and ancestral trauma. Many of my clients are seeking a provider who understands the whole person—someone who can hold space for both the clinical symptoms and the deeper, more nuanced aspects of their experience. This includes intuition, synchronicities, and other gifts that don't always fit neatly into conventional frameworks. If you've ever felt hesitant to share certain parts of your inner world with a therapist, I want you to know that all of you is welcome here.
When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling and exploring new places, or at home with my cat, Rumi.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths to foster lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I aim to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and capable of creating the life you want.
My name is Jaskirn Johal-Dhillon, and I am a bilingual mental health therapist who speaks both English and Punjabi. I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fresno. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, attachment challenges in adulthood, and those seeking inner child healing. My work is grounded in the belief that early childhood experiences shape our internal blueprint, yet with increased self-awareness and compassionate therapeutic support, those patterns can be understood, healed, and transformed. I am passionate about working with people from diverse backgrounds and helping them reconnect with their authentic selves so they can lead the life they choose to live.
Hello, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose practice is rooted in one foundational belief: every person deserves compassionate, individualized mental health care — regardless of background, circumstance, or the barriers and challenges they've faced along the way.
I focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and life's traumas, with a particular dedication to individuals from underserved and marginalized communities who have historically faced systemic barriers to quality mental health care.
All care is grounded in evidence-based practice, blending the most current clinical research with individualized judgment and patient-centered values. As a lifelong learner, I actively pursue continuing education and emerging best practices in psychiatric care — because excellence in medicine requires ongoing growth, humility, and a willingness to be taught by both science and the patients who make this work meaningful.
I welcome patients of all backgrounds and identities, and I am honored to walk alongside each person on their journey toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
I am your friendly neighborhood therapeutic brown dude! I bring a non-traditional, highly empowering approach to sessions utilizing a "no bullcrap, but with love approach". This means that I will always encourage us to face hard truths while always treating you with love, dignity, and respect. You don't have to do it alone, I'd love to walk with you on your journey of healing and transformation.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.
Growing up in an underserved Latin community, I have always been drawn to helping others. Many of us are shaped by our experiences and aren't fully aware of how these experiences show up in our everyday lives and relationships. I enjoy studying the importance of understanding ourselves and how we relate to others. My current focus and training are on attachment and trauma-informed approaches. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, ACT and more trauma based approaches.
