Thank you for reaching out, I'm Kerry Cannon, a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) where I assess and treat individuals ("clients") residing in California. I practice with a nonjudgmental, anti-racist, body-positive, and lifestyle-affirming stance. Previously, I provided outpatient case management support, intensive care coordination for foster youth, and case consults with hospital palliative care teams.

Get back to your best you! I believe therapy provides support in processing through what's working and what's not working for you to improve and build on your personal strengths. During our sessions we can work towards developing new coping skills while improving your relationships in this process. I am here to support you towards reaching your personal goals while reinforcing your core values. Through this process I will collaboratively work with you to bring hope, joy, and a renewed outlook on life.

Hi there, I'm Darla Griffith and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years experience working in the areas of anger management, emotional disturbance, stress (including job stress), coping skills, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and self esteem. I provide services in person but also via telehealth which allows for services anywhere in the state of California.

You seek a compassionate therapist to help regulate emotions, address trauma, and provide a sounding board. Embracing courage and creativity, you see therapy as a resource and a mindset. You yearn to be heard, process, feel supported, and gain insights while being mindful to accountability. You are willing to take charge of your healing journey, know your destination, and welcome guidance along the way. Open to offerings, you try on new things while remaining authentically you- able to accept or decline invitations. You welcome going deep and exploring the quiet places within you. You are ready to explore beyond talk therapy.

Please note that I work only with clients in California at this time. Often, when we connect with therapists, we present with clear issues we want to address. Other times, we could be struggling to interpret how a life event may be affecting us. When I work with a client, I like to know and understand that person deeply, including where they feel they are now in life, and how is it they got here, to this point. We will delve into moments in your earlier life that you believe may hold some importance, some current relevance, what I term the echo of our pasts. It is this exploration that makes therapy both enlightening and releasing.

I am a licensed psychologist who sees individuals, couples and families for more than 20 years. My goal is to help patients live psychologically healthier and more fulfilling lives. My patients want to remove obstacles and recover hope, purpose and themselves. I help explore deeper issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as help navigate life transitions that are overwhelming. Adjusting to uncertainty, new beginnings, endings, isolation, grief, and constantly changing conditions are challenging and can cause us to get stuck. I can help unstick.

**Please see DrJerryBakka.com for more information. Therapy is a collaboration with my clients to ensure a safe, non-judgmental place to explore feelings, cognitions, patterns, and options. My psychodynamic and CBT perspectives look at current difficulties through exploration of past and present experiences. I work with people brand new to therapy but have also been the psychologist to many therapists. Vast experience allows me to draw upon 30 years of work in hospitals and private practice. To begin, I help clients articulate expectations for therapy so that together we can create a positive, productive therapeutic relationship.

As a therapist, I bring a wealth of multicultural knowledge and experience to the table, ensuring you receive professional services built on respect and trust. Let’s bust the myth together: therapy isn’t just for those who’ve faced trauma. Whether you’re seeking clarity, a self-esteem boost, or solutions to life’s challenges, talking with a therapist can be life-changing!

My clients typically fall into three categories: 1) individuals with existential angst, questioning their trajectory in relationships, careers, and/or life; 2) individuals suffering from a myriad of compulsive behaviors/addictions; and 3) couples experiencing communication difficulties, misaligned values, discordant desires, or desiring archetypal reconstructions. My work emphasizes identifying & isolating troubling emotions that lead to negative thinking and behaving, and learning to think & act according to reason. I am offering in-person sessions and teletherapy.

I provide individual psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults using primarily cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based strategies. I specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety, self-judgment, depression, life transitions, or obstacles that may keep them from experiencing greater ease, joy, and alignment in their lives. I also provide psychological and psychoeducational assessments to children and adults to better understand their learning or psychological profile and to receive services that will help them reach their full potential.

I can help guide you towards improving important relationships in your life: With yourself, family, at work, in love, and with others. If you are experiencing betrayal, doubt, confusion, sadness, anxiety, anger, loss, fear and hurt, we will look at solutions,options, choices, value, expression, attitudes, negative influences, strengths, abilities, and relations affecting your life. We will explore differences in values, perspective, backgrounds, communication styles, and evaluate trust, honesty, respect, expectations and relational patterns. My work is holistic, integrative, and solution-focused (https://www.carmelaflorolmft.com).

Hi! I'm Dani, and I see couples. Whether you are doing the work of repairing, growing, or separating, couples counseling is a path to mutual understanding. For couples who would like to stay together, it’s worth reflecting on what brought you together in the first place. Things like how you met, what clicked, and why you stayed can inform what makes you hang in there now. I find that’s a nice place to start if you’re keeping the bond, sometimes even if you’re not. Wherever you are at in your dynamic, we’ll go into what you would like to see happen here.
