My name is Marjorie Manuel, LCSW practicing in the state of California. I am very big on rapport building and involving the clients in driving their own treatments, which include active participation in goal setting and working on realistic expectations in therapy. My background experiences were focused on depression, anxiety, stress, counseling, mental health illness, substance use, grief, and military.

I am a clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience helping individuals and families cope with life stressors and sometimes navigate more complicated problems. I frequently work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, intense emotions, or overwhelming stress and those who have issues related to substance use, legal, or other behavioral problems. I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own life, whatever the situation.

Sometimes it becomes challenging managing the ebb and flow of life and we become isolated, stressed and overwhelmed. Our past wounds always seem to sneak up on us when we least expect. Life transitions can be difficult in that they take much adjustment and effort. There is such a pressing need to invest in yourself and in the building of healthy relationships. You need to spark the parts of yourself that harnests vitality and make life worth living.

We all struggle with managing our lives during these difficult times. I am committed to providing the tools to increase and maintain functioning. Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction? Is there unresolved trauma, grief, or a sense of not belonging? Do you need an empathetic ear to verbalize your feelings, thoughts, and emotions?

Hello! I’m Ebony Vaporean-Bussey-Payne, and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I’ve been licensed since 2016 and began seeing individuals in 2013. In my ten years of practice, I have worked with children, teens, and adults. I also have experience working with new mothers and first responders. My focus at this time is anxiety, depression, job stress, and family stress. I enjoy working with new mothers/postpartum, depression, anxiety, and first responders. At this time, I'm only seeing adults.

If you are someone who has an aversion to dredging up slings and arrows, I can relate. My clinical experience specifically includes working with the families of individuals with a severe mental illness diagnosis, bereavement counseling (including situations of violent or traumatic loss), and infertility. I also work with individuals who are anticipating or experiencing stress related to high-conflict divorce.

I became a therapist because I enjoy connecting with people and honoring their story. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space to provide support as we explore better ways of coping, strategies to manage stress, and improve communication. Through reflection we are able to set goals and problem solve together as we increase insight and awareness of your experience. Together we can work to find an improved life balance, satisfaction and greater sense of well-being.

Hello, I'm Erika! I am a licensed therapist with 10 years of professional work experience. I want to help you fulfill your hopes to improve your life, relationships, and self. I partner with clients in a non-judgmental and authentic setting to facilitate the changes you desire for your life and relationships. I utilize a collaborative, strength-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and culturally relevant during therapy. In session I promote a nonjudgmental atmosphere that is warm, accepting, inclusive, and practical with a high value on careful listening and empathy.

For 20 years, I've worked with adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and low self-worth. My clients tell me that I have a calming presence, and that I'm easy to talk to. There is always a different way to look at things, and I offer a hopeful, positive, and realistic outlook. I work together with my clients to create a space for further self-exploration, self-love, and healing. I believe that we want to be loved, accepted, respected, feel listened to and understood. I am non-judgmental and accepting when someone feels safe enough to share their story or experiences with me.

I am experienced working in community mental health as well as both inpatient and outpatient settings. My approach to treatment is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and coping skills. I also utilize holistic therapy approaches including mindfulness and relaxation techniques to address the mind body connection.

I have an integrative approach that is culturally responsive and attends to intersecting identities. I take into account the client's presenting concerns, preferences, and familiarity with therapy and introduce empirically supported interventions to match goals and treatment plans.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the ability to heal and grow. I believe that, when we feel safe, heard, and vulnerable, we gain valuable insight into why things have hurt us the way they did, why change has been difficult, and what we need to do to start to change. I strive to create that safe and brave space for us. In that space, we can explore your identities and cultural influences, and I can supplement your growth with my life experience and evidence-based training. Together, we can help you reach your unique goals.

I believe in getting to know my clients, building a relationship with them and earning their trust through the therapeutic process. I understand that everyone's healing journey is the not the same and I want to be able to meet clients where they are in their journey. I strive to provide my clients with a safe space to assist them with processing traumas, identifying triggers, and most importantly different techniques/interventions for coping in order to have a life worth living.

Making the decision to seek mental health therapy is not easy. I am glad that you made the first step and are here! It has been my experience that clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own best resource when it comes to engaging in treatment. I see therapy as a joint process in which the client’s own knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. I believe that our wellness comes not just from physical health, but from spiritual health and mental health. It's important for me to help clients make that connection in their healing journey and learn new skills that will help create healthy relationships.

My approach to therapy is integrative and individualized according to one's cultural background. I utilize a variety of interventions to help you navigate life transitions, grief, and distress. Social and cultural factors play a significant role in how we perceive the world and immerse ourselves in our experiences.

My style is client-centered and focused on affirming the client's strengths, reframing negative or challenging thoughts, and guidance of the client towards goal achievement. My experience includes working with adult addicts for an outpatient treatment center, couples and families through the school-based and special education programs at a family services agency, and one-on-one therapeutic sessions with kids, teens, and adults utilizing both in-person and virtual modes of service.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that has provided psychotherapy, family therapy, and group services in English and Spanish for over nine years. I work with adults and families specializing in mental health and/or co-occurring disorders including depression, anxiety, trauma and chemical dependency. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and brief therapy to help you decrease symptoms while developing more meaningful life experiences.

I have worked in the mental health and social services field for over 13 years. My time working with clients has taught me about the power of relationships and connection. In therapy, I take a trauma-informed, Strengths-Based approach utilizing different therapeutic modalities.
