I am dedicated to helping teens struggling with trauma and self-harm behavior. My experience working with Orange Unified School District, running groups from grade 6-12 for students struggling with emotional and behavioral problems has given me unique insight into not only helping teens, but also working with the families, schools, and community to provide more effective treatment. I have partnered with Western Youth Services in helping at risk teens and low income families in helping adolescents to overcome academic barriers and families cope with serious defiance and drug use.

Therapist

Virtual • California


You might have experienced childhood trauma, a distressing single event and/or are overwhelmed by society's impossible demands placed on mothers or with being a neurodivergent brain in our neurotypical-dominant society. You might look like you have it all together (or not!); but either way, are overwhelmed and discouraged. You might be confused, dissociating, or have no idea how you feel.

Come as you are. However you are. You are so welcomed here.

You can experience wellness within even in the midst of your past (or present) circumstances.

1885 The Alameda, San Jose, CA

I'm Deidre, and for over two decades I've helped people move through some of life's most painful and disorienting transitions — loss, illness, divorce, relationship struggles, aging, and the quiet fears that come with facing mortality. My clients often tell me that what they needed most wasn't advice — it was someone who truly listened, who could help them make sense of what they were feeling and find a path forward. That's what I'm here to do!

Kristina Shippey

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

441 Marsh Street, San Luis Obispo, CA

As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Dr. Catherine Nash

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi there! My name is Dr. Catherine Nash and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting adult individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, women’s mental health, and other psychological challenges with a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, promoting overall health and wellness.

I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between mental health and overall well-being, which led me to pursue a career in psychology. My passion for serving underserved populations grew through experiences in behavioral medicine within an integrated primary care model, where I saw the profound impact of mental health on overall health. Over time, I’ve focused my practice on women’s mental health, addressing trauma, emotional well-being, and co-occurring conditions. I strive to create safe, culturally sensitive spaces where clients can explore, grow, and thrive, with an approach centered on empathy, education, and empowerment.
