Sarah Chavez

Sarah Chavez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in various mental health roles supporting teens, adults, and families through stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, trauma-focused care, DBT skills, mindfulness, solution-focused work, family systems, and humanistic therapy, tailoring sessions to what actually works for you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident navigating real-life challenges.

As a first-generation Latina, breaking generational stigma around mental health is deeply important to me. I’m passionate about providing culturally responsive care that honors identity, family values, and lived experience while creating safe space for healing and growth.

Dr. Katherine Turner

Dr. Katherine Turner

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I’m a licensed psychologist with a background in developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and trauma-informed care. I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, brain injury, work-related stress, grief, and difficult life transitions.

I earned my PhD in psychology from Stanford University and have spent much of my career at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, teaching, and clinical care. That background has taught me to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person, including your experiences, relationships, health, environment, strengths, and the ways you’ve learned to cope.

Maryana Helu

Maryana Helu

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Maryana Helu and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have been licensed since 2016, with a Master's in Marital and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University.

My work centers on adults whose childhood experiences resurface in their partner, parenting, or work relationships. What shows up as depression, anxiety, or stress in your day-to-day life often has roots that go back what you learned about relationships as a child. Traumatic childhood experiences have a way of coming up in the present, especially when you are under a lot of pressure or stress.

My goal is to help you process what is coming up at the source, not just manage the symptoms. My practice is telehealth-based and serves clients throughout California.

I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.

Betel Christy Ruschmeyer

Betel Christy Ruschmeyer

Therapist

Virtual • Pasadena, CA


My name is Betel, and I am a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in my 6th year of practice. I received my MA from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where I trained in a process-oriented, humanistic-existential style of clinical work. My background also includes coaching in ketamine-assisted care settings, and I am psychedelics-informed and educated.

At the foundation of my work is the belief that human being is an organic unfolding, in which mindful awareness plays an enduring and creative role. I therefore tend to work especially well with artists, young adults, the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone navigating major life transitions or places of in-between in their sense of who they are.

Maria Denardo | Trauma Therapist For Women

Therapist

Virtual • California


Much of my work lives in the quieter, often invisible seasons of life. The ones rarely named but felt deep in your bones. The long work of trauma recovery and PTSD. The ache of grief. The slow unraveling of relationships you once thought were unshakable. The pull of old abandonment wounds. The disorientation of postpartum identity shifts. The thresholds of career and purpose. These passages can feel like endings, yet they're also quiet beginnings, waiting to be met with care. In our work together, we'll listen for what's ready to be released and make room for what's trying to emerge.
