“Often it’s the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self.” The journey to a healthier, happier you starts here! If you are looking to improve your self-esteem, heal from traumas of the past, be the best version of yourself and form healthier relationships in your life, you are not alone. Whether you’re an individual, a couple or a family looking for help - my therapy sessions are designed to assist you and your loved ones in the healing process. Healing can be a beautiful journey, not just a destination.

Welcome! I recognize the incredible strength it can require to take this first step of reaching out to a therapist. I am glad you are here, and I look forward to the work that we will do together. Trauma-informed care and a strength-based, patient-centered approach form the backbone of my practice. My goal is to partner with you to create a safe space in which you will learn skills that you can apply to your life outside of therapy.

Baháʼu'lláh said: "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom." Life is a mysterious journey of experiences and learning. I got lost, distracted, and swayed on this path until I learned where to find my sacred place. In the ebbs and flows of life, I have discovered that I have an incredible gift for motivating, encouraging, and coaching others. My purpose is to help others make their life sacred by holding it as a masterpiece. I empower clients through education as well as introspection.

*Accepting new clients* Stress, disconnection, transition, stuckness. These are extremely difficult human experiences. Yet, our societies, cultures, and learned responses often tell us to move on, hide, or push away our real experiences. Having worked in a variety of international, educational, and clinical settings, I’ve been privileged to witness how exploring one’s challenges and pain can provide meaning, healing, and growth. Grounded in both the science and personalized applications of psychology and therapy, I believe the earlier we can process and make meaning of our experiences, the more meaningful life opportunities await.

Are you lonely? Tired of eating or watching TC alone at night? Miss being hugged? Being lonely has many ill effects upon your health and quality of life. Love adds years of better health and a longer life. There are many ways of having love & passion in your life: pet, relationships, career, hobby. Many women want a relationship with a man but don't believe it's possible for them. I specialize in helping women get full clarity on what they want, and then give specific tools on how to find that man to create the great relationship of their dreams.

I use a mix of empathy and structure to provide you with the experience of feeling seen and heard, and a road map to achieving your goals. I'm passionate about working with children and adults alike and use approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Interpersonal Neurobiology, weaving in and inclusive approach that is mindful of LGBTQIA+ and People of Color. I'll provide the framework and expertise and will collaborate with you to make sure treatment is addressing what's important to you.

Hello, and welcome! In my practice, I work primarily with adult individuals. My special concern is to encourage my clients to not only participate actively in their therapy, but to actually become the principal source of insight into what should be worked on and how and when their goals have been met. This client-orientation - a core element of Cognitive Therapy - is the key to why this approach has been proven so effective not only in treating current conditions, but in preventing relapse. The client is not a passive recipient of therapy, but an active participant and driver of it with the guidance and supervision of the therapist.

Do you ever wonder why you repeat patterns in your life that were once helpful but are no longer serving you, and may even be harmful? In therapy, we will look at the ways in which you relate to yourself and others, and identify the issues holding you back from living your most authentic life. These issues can be understood, worked through, and ultimately transformed. If you are suffering, and want to uncover and resolve the root causes of your suffering, please reach out. My style is simultaneously insight oriented, practical and interactive.

Dr. Blaire Heath grew up in Southern California and started doing volunteer work locally and abroad when she was in high school, including mission trips to Latin America and Africa. Her passion for helping others and health brought me to pursue the field of nutrition and pharmacy. However, following a medical mission trip to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, she really felt a calling to pursue medicine and work more closely with patients. She loves that the field of mental health applies to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit and that overall health means not just addressing a single area of one’s life.

My therapeutic approach is individualized, collaborative and supportive. I may incorporate mindfulness and meditation practices to help you live more fully in the present moment, or offer you tools to help with behavior changes. Together we will work on developing a treatment plan based off of your past experiences and future goals. My aim is to listen to you, support you, and help you understand yourself better. The importance of providing you a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space as we work together is of the utmost importance to me.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who specializes in co-occurring (mental health and substance abuse) disorders. I have been practicing for 4 years and believe in treating clients with mental health and/or substance abuse issues from a holistic approach. While medicine management can be a crucial aspect of treatment, I believe, to aid healing one must consider the human as a whole.

It's nice to meet you! I believe that each client brings a unique set of strengths and skills that can be uncovered and mastered in their healing process. My role is to walk along side you and support you in this process.

Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in CA and GA. I provide online therapy and clinical mentoring in Korean and English. Over thirteen years of working with clients, I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate. My therapeutic approach is mindfulness-based humanistic psychology with an existential frame of reference. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and personal resources to help you to explore intrapersonal-interpersonal distress. Furthermore, I encourage the awareness of cultural diversity, authenticity, and honoring differences.

Choosing to seek help can be the most difficult decision for any person to do. Yet, we all go through challenges and sometimes need help to figure things out. Whether we are feeling stuck, experiencing anxiety or depression, life transitions, or relationship issues, sometimes a comforting hand can help us weather those challenges so that we do not feel so alone. Knowing that we are not alone in facing them can be deeply reassuring. As a therapist, I hope to accompany you on this journey and help you overcome these challenges.

I enjoy helping clients reach their highest potential in life through strategic enhancement of their internal resources. My work is solution-focused and brief. I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) consultant and utilize this strategy with applicable individuals. Clients who are struggling with addiction, depression or anxiety, have experienced a recent loss, are recovering from a traumatic experience, or are struggling with a relationship issue are ideal clients for me. I primarily work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families on these types of issues. I can see you in-person or via teletherapy.

Therapy for those wanting to break free from old patterns. Do you feel like you’ve been struggling with the same cycle of emotions for years and don’t know if it will ever get better? Have you ever felt like your problems aren’t “bad enough” for counseling? You may be highly functional in some areas of your life while below the surface you are struggling with some heavy feelings.
