Dr. Kristin Steele

Dr. Kristin Steele

Psychologist

Virtual • La Mesa, CA


I am a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing effective, specialized psychological services for Adolescents/Adults. I facilitate Psychological Evaluations/Testing, Psychotherapy, and Mental Health/Performance Coaching. I take an Individualized, Empowerment and Wellness-based approach whereby I incorporate brief, solutions-focused interventions to address the overall psychological needs of a person or family to help reduce suffering and bring about optimal Well-being and long-term Recovery.

Often my caseload is full, however I would be able to match you with one of our Associate Therapists who share the same values and evidenced based approach to care. You would be able to work with these therapists while using your insurance benefits and/or for a low out-of-pocket rate, for those that would prefer to maximize confidentiality and autonomy in their therapy process.

Angelyn Rose

Therapist

Virtual • California


Welcome! I am a licensed therapist offering Narrative Therapy for creatives, musicians, artists, and young professionals in West Los Angeles and throughout California. I work from a poststructural, non-pathologizing perspective to help you explore the stories that shape your identity, relationships, and sense of possibility. This is a space for reimagining—not for 'fixing.' It is a place to nurture your inner life while resisting the systems that seek to define your worth.

Mariana Nogueira De Andrade

Therapist

Virtual • Davis, CA


My name is Mariana Nogueira, LCSW, and I am a bilingual therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, immigration, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I received my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and have extensive training in trauma-focused therapies and mindfulness-based approaches.

Over the years, I have worked in hospice care, hospital settings, cancer centers, community mental health, and with immigrant and undocumented communities. These experiences have deeply shaped my commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy.

I specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, identity transitions, or who feel caught between cultures.

I am Jennifer Ferguson. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was 13. After college, I was a teacher on and off-interspersed with staying home with children. While completing my counseling degree from Capella University, I was still able to stay at home with my children. I have worked at a drug rehab center for women, a small private school as their mental health therapist, at a mental health hospital outpatient program, and in private practice, virtually and in-person.

Joanne Talbot

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Joanne Talbot, LMFT, and I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and patterns that may be keeping them from feeling like themselves.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying something difficult for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I believe meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are and work together from there.
