I have been providing direct and clinical supervision for over 15 years. Most of the work I have done has been in community based settings helping individuals and families struggling with addiction, trauma and mental health. I look forward to continuing this work through my private practice as I believe when one individual gets better the whole family can and it can change the trajectory for generations.

Hello, I am Kandice Casillas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a practice in California. I work particularly well with smart, intense people with untapped potential. This untapped potential is often a result of the effects of relational wounding, and/or pervasive emotional and mood difficulties. Together, we will work to help you reconnect to your sense of vitality, belonging, and purpose.

My name is McKenna Talley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing mental health services for over a decade and I have been absolutely loving it. As a young adult, I had plans of making it on Broadway as an actress. My love for theater has stuck around, but over time I realized that I like helping real people recognize the role they play in their life is the greatest part they could ever have. Nothing speaks to my soul more than connecting to people and helping them find their main character energy. Life can be hard and I like to help people be their biggest fan rather than their biggest critic.

Hi! I realize it was likely a lot of life experiences that led you here. I believe those life experiences can cause a disconnect between who we are, who we want to be, and who we think we should be. This disconnect can keep you from living a life filled with self-compassion, self-appreciation, and self-love. I aim to help you meaningfully grow by providing a calm, safe space, where we work together to figure out what you need on your healing journey.

Sometimes it takes the gentle mirroring of another person to help see what is no longer working in our lives. Habits formed to survive difficult childhoods may be wrecking havoc. Communication styles may be sabotaging love. We may feel overwhelmed in parenting, or facing a big life transition. I work closely with my clients to increase communication skills and develop greater personal awareness. I teach nervous system regulation in order to stay calm and effective during conflict, difficult conversations, and life transitions. From therapy you’ll learn to operate from wholeness and authenticity, and gain acceptance for self/others.

We have all experienced difficult transitions in our lives which create feelings of anxiety, fear, loneliness, anger or sadness. Developing new ways of coping, or new ways of looking at values and beliefs, can help us transcend these feelings and create new opportunities for peace and meaning in our lives. I am compassionate and nonjudgmental, with an informal and interactive style. I am interested in your spiritual framework as it may pertain to values and beliefs which are helpful or harmful, and I often use humor as a means to maintain safety and balance in our work together.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — whether they're an adolescent struggling with anxiety or ADHD, an adult navigating depression or a major life transition, or a couple or family caught in patterns of conflict and miscommunication. They want to feel better, communicate more effectively, and reconnect with themselves and the people they love. They may have tried to push through on their own but sense that something needs to change. They are ready — even if a little nervous — to take that first step.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems.

Let us help guide you through this journey!

Making positive changes in our lives is not always easy. It takes courage and strength to reach out for support during challenging times. In our healing journey together, connection to our emotions, our body (somatic mindfulness), our creativity and our life force brings deeper relationships with others leading to a greater connection to ourselves. If we have experienced trauma we can find new ways to self-regulate and build resilience. We can learn to love and accept all the different parts of who we are. I feel honored to accompany you on this journey while providing skillful guidance, attunement and resources along the way.

Sexuality is a vital part of life, and challenges in this area can affect overall well-being and relationships. When sexual difficulties arise, they often spill over into other aspects of life, creating stress, frustration, or disconnection.
Are you struggling with barriers that prevent you from living the sexual life you desire? You may experience pain during sex, difficulty achieving orgasm, or trouble maintaining arousal. Perhaps you feel shame, guilt, or discomfort with your body, or you've experienced sexual trauma that impacts intimacy. I support clients in creating a fulfilling, empowered sexual life on their own terms.
