Hi there, I provide psychotherapy support for adults, couples, and children who are struggling with mental health symptoms, relationship dynamics, and/or behavioral difficulties. The concerns you have for yourself, your relationship, or your child may lead you to feel overwhelmed, worried, angry and lost. I am here to listen and understand your experience, and then provide personalized treatment.

My name is Vanessa Melchor, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to express yourself and feel heard and validated. Thus, I use a strengths-based and holistic approach to reflect, guide, and build personal insight. In my clinical career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families. I use a multiplicity of approaches as a means to tailor sessions to the needs of the client. For instance, I engage in strengths-based, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, attachment-based, and family systems approaches to facilitate the healing process.

Hello! My name is Dr. Mary Hakimeh, PsyD. I am an evidence-based psychologist. My approach to therapy is a combination of space to help you process, as well as gentle guidance to help encourage you to reach your goals. I have experience working with clients from many different backgrounds and presentations, ranging from grief to trauma to depression. My main clinical interests are working with clients exploring their identity, those with relationship problems, and anxiety.

My primary experience focuses on adolescents, families, and individuals with trauma-based issues, depression, anxiety, and family dysfunction/conflict issues. I want my clients to be empowered throughout their therapy journey. We are capable of having big feelings AND doing hard things, such as facing our traumas or stress. Sometimes we feel stuck and don't know what to do, and that's where therapy is a great place to be; to learn insight to ourselves, create boundaries (with self and others), and experience all of what life has to offer.

Does parenting your child feel overwhelming? Does he seem to have tantrums over everything? Maybe your child is aggressive at home or school and you don’t know why. Is there some anxiety, loss, or trauma? Have your tried everything and nothing is working? Parenting is difficult and your child’s negative behaviors may make you feel like you are not doing a good job. Therapy can not only help your child manage whatever stressors are causing his or her outbursts, but it can also help you understand how to help your child when he or she is overwhelmed. You are not alone on this parenting journey and I can help.

Hello there! Thank you for stopping by! My name is Breanna Landa, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in sunny California. I believe therapy can help you get in touch with your most authentic self, and I am here to do just that. When I am not practicing therapy, I love running, paddle boarding, music, and playing with my pack of dogs! My approach is a good fit for those dealing with the challenges of life transitions, relationship challenges, and social pressures.

My name is Maureen Finn and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am passionate about helping individuals create desired change in their lives while developing self-compassion and self-acceptance. My focus areas of practice are anxiety, depression, women's issues, eating disorders, and trauma. The common theoretical approaches I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Attachment-Based, Person-Centered, Family Systems, and Trauma Focused.

I am passionate about supporting children, individuals, and families impacted by special needs, behavior challenges, divorce, and remarriage. I have compassion working with individuals who are previously or currently experiencing domestic violence in various forms. These situations are often unplanned, and can create unbalance in relationships, family dynamics, and social emotional wellbeing. I have been providing mental health services to children, teenagers, and families for over 15 years in school and home settings in Tulare County.

My therapeutic services focus on supporting individuals and families moving towards healing past and current trauma while building greater connection within themselves and with others in their lives. I work with preteens, teenagers, adults, and parents/caregivers in treating complex trauma, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I work with couple’s experiencing pre-marital and marital conflict along with parenting difficulties. I also work with individuals and families who’ve experienced the unique circumstances of foster care, as well as domestic and international adoptions.

My passion is working with children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, neuroimmune disorders, and sensory processing disorders within the field of Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy and Animal-Assisted Therapy. I have 12 years of experience working with children and their families offering collaborative therapy. In conjunction to equine-facilitated psychotherapy, I work from an attachment-based model, blended with polyvagal theory, creative expressive art, and sensory integration therapy. Within my practice I focus on not only working with the child, but also their family to cultivate growth, change, and well-being.

I am an experiential therapist and enjoy helping those who wish to be free of painful, unhappy, or otherwise bad feelings from past experiences, change the nature of their current and future relationships, and live up to their full potential. I believe that therapy is not only a science but an art form that can only succeed by being authentic and sincere. I also have experience using CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based stress reduction, a humanistic, attachment-based, narrative, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

Hi! My name is Samantha Grimes, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, and relationships. I am also trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. I tend to work best with the people who are faced with anxiety or panic attacks, mood disorders, people pleasers, intellectualizers, people who have had trauma, eating disorders or addiction, and people who want deeper more meaningful relationships with themselves and others. I use humor and creativity in my practice.

I value opportunities to connect with my clients in unique and creative ways through humor, a love of animals, art, and connecting with nature. Through art, writing, and creative outlets I believe we can heal, and work towards integrating the broken parts of self. My approach to the therapeutic process is collaborative and goal-driven. I see my role in clients' lives as one that is temporary; my goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and renewed hope that will allow you to move forward without need for my help.
