Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

When we live a life of reflection, we open ourselves to the rich depths of life's possibilities. We move away from the needless suffering of unresolved pain. I help my clients examine the intricacies of their minds and relationships in a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I help them make sense of their lives and their histories to understand how they impact their current challenges. Together we build a refuge where strengths are discovered and life becomes more joyful. My training is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, however, my style always depends on the needs of my clients and the relationship we create.

Your overall wellness extends beyond your physical health and, by taking this first step to find a therapist, you are showing yourself love and compassion. Thank you for making your emotional and mental well-being a priority. Change takes time, is difficult, and can be scary but is ultimately, liberating and transformative. When we make changes in our lives, we open ourselves up to growth and new possibilities. Ghandi believed “the future depends on what you do today.” I believe each of us can overcome the obstacles that impact our relationships, happiness, quality of life, and keep us from being our most authentic selves.

Samantha Empero is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who has been practicing since 2022. She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Vanguard University of Southern California and a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University Northridge. Hello! Samantha has had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families of various worldviews and cultural backgrounds.

My name is Dr. Sherrie D. Lee, and I am currently dually licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT86706) and a Licensed Psychologist (PSY33937). I am based in Southern California, providing therapy to adolescent and adult clients statewide via telehealth. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety and depressive disorders to empower clients and promote change. I believe in providing everyone with quality, culturally sensitive mental health treatment, from assessment to termination.

Hi! My name is Vanessa Arreola, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW116088). I am prepared to provide you with a safe place to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences, in order to foster resilience and cultivate a sense of inner peace. I typically work with adolescents and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also help clients experiencing grief and loss. It is not uncommon for me to work with clients to help bridge communicate gaps and foster/restore a healthy relationship.

With over 20 years of experience, I work best with 3 types of people:

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

I have been treating OCD and anxiety disorders for 15+ years in private practice. In addition to treating clients in private practice I have worked at the UCLA ocd Adult Intensive Treatment Program where I was the Associate Clinical Director. I also worked at the UCLA Childhood OCD, Anxiety & Tic Disorders Program as clinician and an independent evaluator. I am an iocdf BTTI faculty member and I presented at the IOCDF Conference in 2009, 2011-2023. In addition, I have attended the IOCDF Advanced Behavior Therapy Training Institute for BDD. I also offer training and consultation to clinicians, clergy members and family members.

Not feeling yourself? Do you want to move past your emotional pain? Are you having relationship problems? In a safe environment, I help adults manage their stress, anxiety, depression and difficult emotions, accept and move through life transitions, and improve their relationships. I assist individuals and couples in gaining awareness of past and present influences on their beliefs and how they relate to others. My therapy work is collaborative with couples, helping partners improve their communication and replace their highly charged emotional interactions with new productive, healthier dialogues.

You are probably looking for immediate help due to a crisis or some pressing issue. You might be struggling with test anxiety or may need help dealing with a break-up and/or finding your soul mate. You might also be curious about therapy & what it can do. I am glad you found me & I am here to help you achieve a better tomorrow. I provide a warm and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable and at ease. The therapeutic work is a collaborative effort between therapist & client. If you are ready to make changes, let's do it together. Remember, Hope plus action equal success. Today is the best day to start. Call me!

You’re stuck, finding it difficult to connect to the things that bring you joy and purpose. You’re concerned about your relationships. What do the people you care about most think of you? Do they like you? Are you enough? You’re a hard worker, an overachiever even, who finds themselves on the frequent verge of burnout. Decision making can be so challenging for you, there’s so much you’re not sure of yet. You want to be able to advocate for your own needs. You want to know how to have emotionally honest conversations and set boundaries.

I’m Jessica, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who is passionate about helping adults and adolescents cultivate a more fulfilling life and satisfying relationships. My primary goal is to help you increase your sense of safety, become a better version of yourself, and thrive in your relationships.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

I am a licensed psychologist who has trained in both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic approaches. I consider myself to be an integrative therapist, pulling from different methodologies and theories to tailor treatment to each individual. I enjoy working interpersonally and collaboratively, taking into account such factors as individual history, subjective experiences, and family/cultural dynamics. I often work with folks who identify feeling stuck, lost, alone, misunderstood, angry, frustrated, and sad.

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist from UCLA providing a wide range of therapeutic services for adults in Pasadena, La Canada Flintridge, Altadena, South Pasadena and San Marino. My secure video online therapy services are available for California residents. My treatment strategies are grounded in the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and are focused on helping people succeed at school, work, and home to achieve their short and long-term goals. My focus is primarily on helping people build the lives they desire in the present and future, rather than focusing too heavily on the past.

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, or frustrated, having a hard time creating the life you want? I can work with you to figure out what's getting in your way and how to address it. I love getting to know people and helping them build their lives. I work with adults of all ages and genders and specialize in working with young adult women who are dealing with life changes, stress, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. Being first-generation LatinX, I can understand and relate to issues around culture, race, discrimination and bias, assimilation and acculturation.
