I’m Katy Levesque, a compassionate and dedicated marriage and family therapist practicing in California. I draw from various treatment models and tailor my approach to each individual's needs. I understand that therapy is a collaborative journey, and that individuals and families have both unhelpful patterns and strengths. I treat individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, adjustment to transitions, and relationship problems. I have worked with adults, seniors, and teenagers and adults who have experienced trauma.

Hi there, I'm Janette! I am a second-generation Filipino. I understand resistance in seeking out and utilizing therapy. As I continue to find my way through this journey, I hope to work with others who have also experienced such struggles and understand how transformative therapy can be. My approach is integrative, pulling from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). Through my experiences and learning, my approach has grown to be more mindful with incorporating a trauma-informed and decolonized lens.

Hi there! My name is Sarah. I work with clients who feel stuck in their thoughts. Many are self-aware and have insight into their patterns, but feel unsure how to move forward. I also work with people who put others first and are learning how to reconnect with themselves, build self-trust, and show up differently in relationships. My approach is warm, supportive, and attuned. I also believe in doing my own inner work and that therapy can be heIpful for everyone at different points in life. Outside of being a therapist, I’m also an animal lover, enjoy the outdoors, and feel most at peace near any body of water.

My practice is designed for people who are ready for something more than a general approach- people who need a specialist. I work with women navigating the emotional and psychological toll of hormonal health challenges, including PMS, PMDD, Perimenopause, menopause and post- menopause. I also work with women during pregnancy , postpartum recovery and infertility- times when emotional support is critical yet can be overlooked. I welcome men and men living with anxiety, depression, mood difficulties, healing from trauma and abuse or struggling with sexual difficulties and intimacy concerns they may never have felt safe to discuss.

Do you feel like your past is holding you back from fully experiencing the present? Or that you keep repeating old patterns, even in new relationships or situations? The unconscious mind is not a villain—rather, it helps us point to what needs attention and understanding. Traumatic experiences can leave deep wounds in our psyche, often without us even realizing their lasting impact. These unprocessed experiences can shape our present, influencing our relationships with others and with ourselves. I work with adults, teens, couples and families and also offer immigration psychological evaluations for immigration/legal purposes.

You’ve handled everything life has thrown at you so far. It hasn’t been easy—but it hasn’t fallen apart either. Still, lately the future feels uncertain. The world is changing quickly, and the questions keep coming: What should I do with my life? Am I in the right relationship? Is my career sustainable—or even right for me? You function well on the outside. Staying busy helps. But underneath, there’s a persistent anxiety you can’t shake. Maybe you’ve tried to think your way out of it—only to feel more stuck, more overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of overthinking, doubt, or compulsive patterns.
