You're here! Right here, right now! You may not be where you want to be yet, but you have already taken a step towards facing challenges with a strength you never knew you had. Besides, it doesn't hurt to get a little assistance on the way. I'm here to help you. Let me tell you something. Nothing is as remarkable as seeing positive change in my client! Helping you make even the smallest steps towards your goal every day brings me joy and I make sure to let you know when I've noticed your progress. Even when they seem too small to notice, I'll notice! You’ll be surprised how much a little positivity can help.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor with additional experience in helping individuals get back to work to attain the highest success possible after experiencing any life changing issues. I have helped people with almost everything you can think of. I have helped those with mild and severe mental health concerns.

When I counsel, my style is energetic, compassionate, and supportive. I praise your progressions, and I can show you how to be proud of your efforts and steps in the right direction. I am client-centered and I want to listen to you and be as helpful as is humanly possible. I love to empower my clients. I can't wait to meet you!

Therapist

Hi, I am Cheyenne, an LCSW who believes therapy doesn't have to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. With several years of experience supporting youth, parents and families, I help clients navigate trauma, maternal mental health challenges, ADHD, anxiety and the often overwhelming stress of everyday life. If you're in the thick of parenting, navigating your teen years or simply feeling stretched too thin, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Therapist

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the South Bay area of California, and I work with clients virtually. Before starting my own practice, I spent two and a half years at a residential treatment program working with adolescents and their families, using individual, family, and group therapy to support teens through some of their hardest moments. Earlier in my career, I worked in community mental health, where I supported a wide range of clients, including couples, children in elementary school through an art therapy partnership program, and adults of all ages. As I grow my private practice, I'm looking to work with a broader range of populations and case types than I did in my previous roles.

Dr. Avigail Markus

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy (emphasis in Medical Family Therapy) from Loma Linda University and a Master’s in Psychology from Chapman University.

My career has included running a large private practice, teaching at the university level, presenting at national conferences such as AFCC, and publishing research in the field of family therapy.

I work with adult men and women navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, so I strive to make therapy a safe and welcoming space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I meet you where you are, and together, we work toward building insight, developing practical coping strategies, and creating a more balanced and meaningful life.

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, gone to talk therapy before — and somehow you still feel overwhelmed, STUCK or rudderless.

And, you may be SUCCESSFUL, high-functioning on the outside while struggling with holding everything together for everyone else inside ; or even feeling imposter syndrome.

Maybe it's stress and emotional exhaustion, trapped in unexplained patterns, or carrying trauma that still lives in your body no matter how much therapy you've done. Is passing the final exam talking it's toll?

Good news, I specialize in helping people who are tired of just talking about their pain. Whether you are navigating a painful divorce, or carrying deep childhood abuse, or paralyzed by an upcoming licensing exam, I provide a space to finally address and let's CHANGE the cycle.

My Focus is Anxiety: Licensing Exam/test, ADHD, divorce anxiety/trauma, Bipolar I/II, substance disorders, PTSD, trauma, chronic pain and health, nightmares, phobias, childhood sexual/physical abuse, sexual trauma & self identity.

I have EMDR certification work completed because I'm passionate about this work. The work you do today can impact not only your future, but the generations that come after you. We don’t just talk about trauma — we process it at the nervous system level so your brain and body can begin to heal. For EXAM anxiety, we dive quickly into EMDR to process.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Kali, and I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 2007. I want to help you have the relationships you want with yourself and with others. I have an MA in Applied Behavioral Science, with a concentration in Systems Counseling. What this means for you, practically speaking, is that as I work with you, I am also thinking about all of the other people, family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, who are a part of and influential in your life, and you in theirs. I’m also thinking about the relationship you have with yourself, and how all of the parts of you, past, present and future interplay with each other and the world around you. Which is a long-winded way of saying I want to help you have the relationship you want with yourself and with others. I want you to find happiness, joy and health. I'd like to help you identify and meet your goals, and I am a warm, supportive presence whether or not you have any idea as to what your goals might be.
