I'm Ryneese Baldwin, a therapist with eight years of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and the complex emotions that arise from guilt, shame, and abandonment. I'm also experienced in helping individuals work through communication challenges, forgiveness, and finding clarity around life purpose and direction. Additionally, I have experience supporting those navigating postpartum depression and impulse management.

Sometimes you can look like you have it all together and still feel like something isn't quite right.

  • Walk-and-talk therapy around Mission Bay, Bird Rock, and Pacific Beach in San Diego

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself. It's finding someone who will actually understand the world you're living in. I'm Pia, a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with adults and seniors through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, new and expecting mothers, and people from diverse cultural and ethnic origins who have sometimes found mainstream therapy less than welcoming. I listen closely, and I work hard to make sure you feel genuinely seen from the very first session.

Therapist

Growing up, finding your footing as a man, or learning how to show up for your own kids can feel like you are supposed to already have the answers. I work mostly with men: fathers adjusting to a new chapter, young adults sorting through identity and anxiety, and couples trying to reconnect. After two years in practice, I keep seeing the same thing: admitting something is wrong is rarely the hard part, figuring out what to do about it is. That is where I come in, helping you build a clearer, steadier way forward.

404 West Pine Street, Lodi, CA

Whatever's brought you here — depression that's hard to shake, anxiety that won't quiet down, the weight of past trauma, the ups and downs of bipolar disorder, or strain in your closest relationships — you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 28 years of experience, and I've spent that time helping individuals find their way through life's hardest stretches.

My specialties include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and trauma, along with deep experience in relationships, family dynamics, child development, and parenting. After nearly three decades in this work, very little feels too big or too complicated to bring into the room — and I'll meet you with both warmth and the honesty that real change requires. I offer both, telehealth and in person sessions.

Mark Brody

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree and over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of clients and concerns. Over the years, I’ve worked in clinics, run my own private practice, and provided therapy to enlisted Navy personnel and their spouses. For the past five years, I’ve primarily provided therapy through telehealth.

Therapy can sometimes feel unfamiliar or intimidating, especially when you’re meeting a new therapist, but I don’t believe it has to feel that way. I try to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can feel like yourself. I bring genuine curiosity, warmth, humor when appropriate, and most importantly, authenticity to my work. I want therapy to feel like a real conversation and a genuine human connection—not like you’re being analyzed or judged.

3625 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Westlake Village, CA

You may have spent years trying to make sense of painful experiences, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in relationships without fully understanding why. Childhood and sexual trauma can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves, experience emotions, and connect with others. You may have learned to survive by putting others first, staying strong, or keeping your feelings hidden. But surviving is not the same as feeling safe, connected, and truly at peace. You deserve the opportunity to heal.
