I provide individual therapy to adults. I offer a collaborative, direct and non-judgmental approach empowering you to use your strengths, expertise and abilities to find meaning and purpose during life's toughest transitions. Through the dynamic relationship of therapy, I can help you uncover frustrating patterns and behaviors, build insight and awareness to develop and sustain healthier relationships, and move towards healing. Taking the next step to talk with someone is vulnerable, but often life altering and healing in itself.

My name is Merna Eissa and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, CA, and working with clients via telehealth.

Hi, I'm Kristin Roberts. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in Northern California. I see individual adults, couples, families, and minors (14-17). I specialize in treating trauma and use EMDR and brainspotting. I'm also IFS informed and use that modality to heal client's inner adult/child parts of self. I treat anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, grief, relationship distress in friendships, family dynamics, and with couples.

Are you tired of code/persona switching? Maybe there are some underlying behaviors & emotions that don't make sense & you want to learn more? Or maybe you can't seem to connect with someone who actually "gets it", which doesn't mean they're terrible people, because they're endearing when they try, but they just don't seem to fully understand. It's hard trying to navigate life & all it's complexities. As humans, we're multi-faceted, multi-dimensional beings which can be really overwhelming. There are parts that we love, other parts that we dislike, maybe even hate. This can cause to act in self-sabotaging ways, unintentionally.

Hi there, I'm Phuong Nguyen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a therapist, I am passionate about cultivating a safe space for you to examine the challenges and barriers that prevent you from living a joyful life. I hope to use therapy as a tool to help you find healing and growth in your own journey. During my clinical practices, I come to recognize that I work well with a wide age range (children to adults) but I do work best with teenagers to young adults who might be dealing with transitions, figuring out their values/identities, relationship issues, and social pressures.

I grew up witnessing the effects of social injustice, conflict, and violence on individuals and communities that simply strive for peace and connection. I have spent decades of my life walking alongside survivors whose basic rights were stripped and who sought to identify a path towards healing and belonging.

It takes great courage to recognize when you need help and even more to ask for it. Even the strongest and most healthy need a trusted mentor, healer, and guide in their life at some point. Do you find yourself asking questions about sex, sexual health, sexual relationships, or intimacy within your relationship? Do you feel you have a place to ask and explore sexual topics and understand your sexual body? Understanding this part of yourself is an important part of your ability to relate and interact with yourself AND to connect, relate, and interact with others throughout your life. Here is a space for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more that 35 years of experience working with individuals, families and youth. My mission is to assist people in examining their issues, while learning to make choices and decisions that will support them and their families in becoming physically, mentally and spiritually healthy.

I believe counseling is about finding meaning and purpose in our lives; about experiencing a deep level of self-trust; and about healing broken relationships. I use a solution focused approach inviting you to view your problems from a different angle. We'll focus on what things you can control and how to let go of circumstances beyond your control. I invite you to identify the sources of internal dialogue that generate self-doubt, anxiety and depression. Each week you will leave with small assignments designed to increase your self-awareness and self-confidence.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder? Have you experienced a recent or prior trauma or traumas that negatively impact your life? Does your child or adolescent struggle with these issues? Are you or a loved one struggling to cope with a life change or loss? All of these conditions are painful and deserve time and attention. In the context of an honest, compassionate relationship, I am here to empower you and/or your adolescent to move beyond burdensome behaviors and thoughts so that you can live life to the fullest. My approach is interactive, collaborative and practical.

As a therapist, my biggest reward is to see my clients transformed after being healed from issues with mood swings, relationships, parenting, cultural conflicts, family origin, past traumatic experiences, and abuse. I care deeply for each of my clients and I do my best to ensure that each and every one of them gets the help he or she seeks.

What brings you to therapy at this moment of your life? Maybe you are struggling in your relationships with family, friends or coworkers. You might be feeling depressed, anxious or disconnected from yourself and others. Perhaps, something is missing in your life, something that keeps you from feeling joy or being present. You might be experiencing the impact of painful experiences or losses in your life. I believe that what brings you here is important. I am here to join you in your journey of self-exploration and personal growth.
