The issues on spirituality, mental health and psychology are part of my practice and interests. The frames I use are Psychodynamic and Tibetan Buddhism. How to overcome psychological conditioning and personal narratives that are too extreme and unrealistic. Many times some people find themselves in situations that aggravate their emotional pain, no way out but rather than look inside of themselves look out there, hoping that their live will change.

I work with teens, adults, and couples as they navigate different mental health and relational issues. I also provide parenting support to help parents understand their children's behaviors and emotions, particularly for parents and children who have been through early experiences of trauma. I am also interested in supporting first and second generation Americans navigate different psychological and cultural conflicts, particularly as they move through high school and college.

I believe that therapy can help you feel more connected to yourself and those around you, freer to pursue your goals, and more alive. My approach is to provide a warm supportive environment so you can feel comfortable and able to speak about whatever is distressing you. I like to work collaboratively, exploring both the past and the present, to figure out what is preventing you from feeling more fulfilled. Together, we will develop strategies to remove these obstacles.

The people who come to me are curious to get to know themselves in a deeper away. I work with people to help them live more authentically, embrace their true selves, set healthier boundaries in relationships, interrupt unhelpful patterns, loosen the grip of perfectionism, mindfully manage anxiety, and heal from trauma. Together, we can work toward both short-term and long-term change.

I am passionate and dedicated to creating a trusting relationship and safe space for the process of narrating your personal story. Over 10 years I've worked in community-based programs with both teens and adults. I especially enjoy working with young people ages 16 to 25 (Transitional Aged Youth) a population that’s often overlooked and underserved. Having personally struggled myself during that time, I know how to identify with that challenging life transition and sometimes overwhelming decisions of "What's next?" let alone the bigger question of "Who am I?".

Beginning psychotherapy can be both an exciting and sometimes, challenging process. Each person is the "expert" on their own experience, but at times we need collaborative support in order to sort through our emotional lives. We may feel stuck in our current ways of coping and desire to make a change, or we may have been urged by loved ones to seek help. Therapy allows us to open up our minds in an environment of safety, leaving us free to explore new ways of thinking and being in the world.

My name is Joe Ninomiya, and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) working with a wide variety of clients throughout California via telehealth. My clients range from children to adults of all ages. I am able to assist with each stage of life. Whether it be Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, or adjustment to disability.

Therapeutic relationships can truly be life changing and transformational. The issues that are leading you to think about therapy can be worked on, leading to increased satisfaction and joy with yourself, improved relationships with others, and enhanced functioning in pursuit of the life you want. I work collaboratively with you to help you develop more flexible responses to resolve conflict. Listening to your unique story with deep curiosity is crucial to our work, but I'm also pro-active and engaged in sharing my thoughts and observations. Kindness and compassion are vital, but so too are active help and feedback.

You are ready to initiate a process of change, growth and reconnection with yourself and others. You feel overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in a spiral of thoughts. My focus is on supporting people who are anxious, experiencing grief and loss, and navigating life transitions. My therapeutic approach is mindful, compassionate and non-judgmental. In therapy, I will listen, we will collaborate, and you will learn to cultivate the curiosity and compassion needed to understand your emotions to process and integrate life's experiences. My intention is to help you identify tools to help you cope with life's challenges, and find peace of mind.

I was born and raised in North Carolina and have lived in California for over 20 years. I am a single mother of 2 daughters and have first-hand experience navigating through a divorce and parenthood. My passions include being a mother, spending time with family and friends, playing beach volleyball, and traveling to new places. I consider myself a kind person who is honest, open-minded, emphatic, and always ready for an adventure. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) for over 12 years and began my career as a Recreation Therapist working in a psychiatric inpatient unit for adults with mental health issues.

After working at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, I started my private practice in 2015. My ideal client is motivated to align with their personal and relational integrity, allowing them to reduce symptoms and signs of distress, as well as pursue a life congruent with their authentic self, their intersectional identity, and their wellness. This include female-identified and non-binary individuals, as well as couples/partners (of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures) who identify as non-traditional, including Queer, CNM/Poly, Kinky, and/or subcultural communities (e.g. Burners).

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with children, adolescents, families & consulting with parents for 17 yrs. I'm also certified in Ketamine assisted psychotherapy for adults. I offer a 15min consult to answer questions about this evidence based treatment. I listen with the intent of thoroughly understanding your concerns, patterns, and where your past traumas might keep you stuck. I bring in mindfulness practices and other practical tools so we can tend more deeply to the roots of your challenges. From that place, you will be able to make the changes in order to live your highest potential. I am gender affirming and an LGBTQ+ ally.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfans or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship

If you are here, you may have experienced something painful, scary, frustrating, confusing or sad. Maybe you feel a general sense of dissatisfaction, or you are seeking to change your behavior or the quality of your relationships. Regardless of why you are here, I am glad you’re seeking a partner to help you process your emotions, and make sense of your experiences. In therapy, I will help you build awareness of your thoughts and feelings so that you can understand your needs and express yourself authentically. You deserve to have meaningful and fulfilling relationships and live a life aligned with your true nature.

I'm Leonor Guerrero, a first generation Mexican American bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist born and raised in Los Angeles. I have a background working in a community outpatient setting with adults, adolescents, children and their families from diverse cultural backgrounds. I have helped individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, grief, changes in family dynamics, generational trauma and life transitions. I use a combination of attachment, mindfulness, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma therapy to address internal, historical or family cycles that impact our lives.

Maybe you’re here because someone in your life has suggested you need help. You are not even sure if your drinking or using is a real problem, but sometimes you struggle with how you feel the next day. Maybe you've suffered a consequence. You might have even tried going to a 12-step meeting or quitting as a New Year's resolution. After all of this, you've come to the conclusion that you need more support. You're in the right place. I have helped people like you. I want to meet you exactly where you are and help you find the answers to these questions: How am I coping? Why do I use? How do I want to change?

When everyday life feels overwhelming, finding meaning, connection and authenticity can feel elusive. Layer on the struggles inherent in our current world—family trauma, life transitions, coping with climate anxiety—you name it, and it’s no wonder handling it all can feel impossible. In my work, I help people navigate life’s murky waters, and the anxiety and feelings of inertia that can come with the territory. Helping people connect with, and stay true to, their authentic selves is what makes my work meaningful.

Hello! I work with bringing more balance and clarity in mind and body. My emphasis lies in allowing your experience to unfold as it does and provide guidance towards integration and reconnection to a more whole sense of self. Unfortunately, I do not take insurance.

Therapy is a place to feel understood and safe. My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and strength-based. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, transitions and adjustment, grief, parenting, and family communication.
