Hi there! My name is Alexis Cardenas, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Although everyone has a story that shapes who we are, I truly believe that our current struggles and past experiences don’t have to limit all that we can become. I have experience providing individual and group therapy in school settings, trauma crisis centers, and private practice. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, helping them learn healthy ways of coping with a variety of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, low-self esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, and major life changes.

These are emotionally challenging times. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and job upheaval have been on the rise since COVID. There is immense pressure from social media. Young adults face transitions of going to college, getting a job, and pressure to make relationship and career decisions. Many adults are juggling two jobs to stay afloat and provide for their families. With devices replacing human connection, people feel more alone and isolated than ever before. People of all ages are in need of feeling seen and heard -to feel hope that they will get through the difficult times and see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm a clinical psychologist, practicing in California for over 20 years. My goal is to offer you a space that is safe and empowering while bearing witness to the joys and especially the challenges we face when difficulties arise. A compassionate and collaborative approach is important to me when working with clients. Together, we can explore and identify changes you would like to make that are consistent with your values, and apply treatment strategies that can best help you realize your goals. In the journey of therapy, I wish to help you rediscover meaning in life in a way that is truly healing and honoring of you.

Hello and welcome! my name is Gina Carrillo-Jackman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)  based in Ventura County providing therapy via Telehealth.  I have over 20 years experience working with teens and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I believe that each person has the capacity to grow emotionally and create satisfying relationships both with themselves and others. I do this by addressing and resolving old pain and paying attention to the ways in which you continue to be stuck in patterns of behavior that no longer bring a desired response from the world. I am psychoanalytically trained and bring in your past experiences only as much as they continue to influence your present life. I will also help you address any crises and ongoing issues you are struggling with.

Dr. Cave, psychologist and author of the book "Just Be a Dad," works with a variety of individuals and families who find themselves having difficulties.

My passion is working with families and individuals having problems with how they feel about themselves and issues within their intimate relationships.

I have dedicated over 15 years to serving the mental health treatment needs of children, adolescents, young adults and families. I hold a Doctor of Psychology degree with an emphasis in child and family practice. I understand that individuals exist in the context of the families and communities in which they live and, as such, I support my patients in achieving success in their relationships with others as well as in their daily activities.

Individuals come to my practice when their usual coping skills/communication are no longer effective, often leading to anxiety, frustration and at times feelings of hopelessness. These problems often interfere with normal daily routines. The Good News is that Things Can and Do Get Better. My approach to working with adolescents and adults is active, collaborative, and practical, in a safe and supportive setting. My goal is to bring clarity, new perspectives, and understanding to these situations.

We have found to look at life differently for many reasons and we have learned life is in the here and the now. Helping clients discover their healthier self will promote less stress, anxiety, and depression in their lives. When working clients, it’s important for me to get to know who the client is, where they have been what their goals are. When one learns to set obtainable goals it’s not so overwhelming and it helps the client to feel empowered thus giving the client a sense of accomplishment instead of setting themselves up for disappointment. The importance of this is to help the client to obtain tools use in their lives.

Finding and reaching out to the right psychologist can be one of the hardest parts of therapy. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, and trauma. Anxiety and trauma affect all aspects of life, including work, school, sleep, personal relationships, physical health, and overall functioning. Many people feel isolated, alone, and helpless. I've seen therapy make a huge positive difference in people's lives - and it can be a truly wonderful, though challenging, experience. My practice primarily focuses on these issues among older adolescents, adults, and pregnant/postpartum mothers.
