My name is Dena Webster; I am a licensed clinical social worker. My goal in providing therapy is to make a difference for everyone one day at a time. I meet my clients where they are and consider their whole environment when identifying issues and resolving them. My approach to therapy is eclectic; I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and coping skills. I realized that having someone to talk to and a safe place to say the hard things was helpful. I also noticed I have always been that friend everyone talks to process their problems.

Hello, my name is Alex Gallegos and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (Lic. 101393) in California. I have been providing treatment for 14 years in mental health. I have provided therapy for adults, children, families, couples, and support groups. Some of the areas related to mental health that I have addressed are depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, domestic violence, and parenting problems, and I work with fathers struggling to parent their children as a result of historical trauma.

I believe counseling offers healing, growth and clarification for individuals as they courageously decide to work with me in a safe, trusting warm and confidential environment. My therapeutic approach is mainly cognitive and behavioral (CBT) and Client/Centered Therapy but use other therapeutic approaches as needed. I strive to meet you where you are at, then we decide the style that fits your needs, as we are going to be working together to help you meet your goals. I believe in people’s inner strengths and capacity to succeed and grow even during difficult times.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. As a fully virtual counselor, I am passionate about meeting clients where they are in their life's journey. Together, we approach goals from a solution-focused mindset that aims to identify simple, real-world approaches that can be easily infused into day to day life. My ideal client is anyone looking to face and overcome stressors, depression, anxiety, anger issues, addictions, and crisis of faith.

Making the first step towards change can be intimidating and a daunting task. Best that we talk first about getting the right client-therapist fit. For our youth, now more than ever the anxiety, avoidance, irritable moods and anger issues, and grief are showing up in ways that seem impossible to deal with. My approach is to first make the connection, then to help the young person clarify positive and measurable outcomes, and soon after develop the self-confidence to embark on that difficult mission to make things better with parent support. Working with kids 8 to 80 is a pleasure, a challenge, my mission. All things are possible!

I am committed to use my extensive experience and the effective skills I have developed throughout my professional career in mental health to help you feel better in a short time. I have a deep understanding of why we end up suffering or are stuck and unable to get to that state of well-being we all deserve and are capable of achieving. Sometimes one just needs a little help from an expert. At a minimum, my aim is that you leave having more insight into what the problem is and how to resolve it. We can do the rest together or you can try on your own. I am confident that you will not regret the experience.
