Are anxiety, relationship conflict, depression, or substance use patterns affecting your work, family, or sense of connection? My approach is practical, direct, and collaborative — focused on real change, not endless processing. Clients often report fewer arguments, stronger boundaries, improved emotional regulation, and reduced reliance on alcohol or substances to cope. I have 19 years of experience helping adults and couples as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Addiction Counselor. I am available online throughout California, so reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a fit.

My name is Joy Burgner. I have been licensed in California since 2011. Several life experiences have led me to adopt a completely nonjudgmental stance in treating clients, and my open-minded approach helps me form a strong therapeutic alliance. This creates a safe space where clients feel free to express, explore, and process the life events, thoughts, and feelings that have caused emotional distress.
I have spent the majority of my career treating adolescents in the juvenile justice system and teenagers in foster care who were placed in group homes.

The resilience of a tree is a powerful metaphor for human growth and healing. Just as a tree requires nourishment, care, and time to flourish, we too need patience, support, and guidance to overcome life's challenges. As a therapist with over 14 years of experience, I've witnessed the unique journey of each individual, much like the distinct characteristics of every tree. I've worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, eating disorders, trauma, and PTSD, utilizing various evidence-based modalities to facilitate growth and healing.

In my time working with clients, many often come feeling lost, with a a deep sense of worthlessness and anxiety, experiencing a fear for the world and their responsibilities. Often, they come wanting to learn and understand why they feel this way and wanting to learn ways of managing their emotions. Their goals can often vary, but the common goal is that they just want to feel better and want to have purpose and direction in their life once again. If this sounds anything like yourself, then you are not alone and maybe we should sit down and talk about it.

As a Latina therapist and proud daughter of immigrants, I know first hand the challenges and impact that family, culture, and societal expectations have in our lives. You may face times of anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, family and/or relationship conflicts. There may be days when you just feel unmotivated, sad, confused, angry, drained, disconnected, and on a roller coaster of emotions. Navigating it on your own can be hard and sometimes we just need a safe space to process it all with compassion, understanding, and someone who gets it.

I’ve always been drawn to the complexities of growing up—how our early experiences shape who we become, and how healing can happen at any stage of life. Over the years, I’ve spent much of my career working with children, which naturally led me to support the adults in their lives—parents, caregivers, and individuals facing their own challenges. That work deepened my understanding of how unresolved patterns can resurface in adulthood and how therapy can be a space for meaningful growth. I specialize in supporting adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship problems.

Claudia Lopez, LMFT - 94902 My therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative, helping clients explore how past experiences impact their current behaviors and decision-making. My journey to becoming a therapist began in academic counseling, where I worked with students facing a variety of challenges. Over time, I noticed that many of these students were struggling with mental health issues, and I realized that I felt limited in the support I could provide. This prompted me to pursue further education and training in mental health, as I wanted to learn how to better help individuals manage their emotional well-being.

The path to parenthood isn’t often straightforward. Maybe you are struggling with the heavy weight of postpartum depression, or perhaps a birth trauma has left you feeling disconnected from your body and your baby. When a pregnancy or birth doesn't go as planned, the emotional pain can linger long after the physical healing is done. If you are grieving a miscarriage or going through infertility, you might feel like you'll never be the same. I'm here to help you process those heavy emotions and find your way back.
