Psychologist

Virtual • California


With over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients—working across the globe with the armed forces and incarcerated individuals facing severe trauma, to couples, families, and creatives looking to thrive, not just survive. My approach is grounded, evidence-based, and tailored to the complexity of your lived experience.

I’m trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Gottman Method couples therapy, allowing me to address everything from PTSD and relational conflict to performance blocks and emotional regulation. As a biracial therapist, I bring a culturally attuned lens to every session and hold space for identity, intersectionality, and healing.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a certified yoga instructor and sound healer, and have been featured in national outlets like The Washington Post, MSNBC, and USA Today.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, rebuilding relationships, or striving for personal growth, I offer a space that is compassionate, direct, and built on deep experience.”

Therapy is a journey of personal growth and healing. It takes courage and can be challenging, but you don’t have to embark alone. My hope is that, as your therapist, I can be the holder of hope and a source of support. After obtaining my Master's in Counseling degree in 2015, I have had a wide range of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families as they work through a wide range of issues including traumatic experiences, grief, depression, and anxiety.

Patricia Alice

Therapist

Virtual • California


Life has a way of throwing challenges our way that can feel impossible to navigate alone, but you don't have to carry that weight by yourself. With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with individuals of all ages—from young children to seniors—helping them find clarity through life’s most difficult transitions. Whether you are dealing with relationship struggles, depression, or the complexities of grief and trauma, my goal is to provide a steady presence that helps you find your way back to yourself. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by drawing on both my clinical training and the wisdom gained from decades of practice.

I believe that true healing happens when you have a space to speak freely with someone who isn't connected to your daily life or family circle. I bring a blend of professional expertise and extensive life experience to our sessions, which allows me to understand the nuances of the human experience beyond just a clinical lens. Outside of my work in the office, I enjoy staying active in the local community and find that a balanced life helps me show up fully for those I serve. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have an experienced advocate committed to their well-being.

Kathleen Avila

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a second-generation Filipina therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, and life experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. I strive to create a space where you feel accepted exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Building trust, connection, and rapport is my first priority, because I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and supported.
