I have worked in hospital outpatient centers, community mental health, residential recovery centers, and in-home services with survivors of sexual assault and adults who struggle with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. I am interested in understanding one's emotional responses, interpersonal concerns, and patterns in relationships, identity development, and bettering the person's life as a whole. I believe that every person can grow into the best version of themselves through therapy. When we look inside and grow through what we’ve gone through, we can achieve our true potential.

I am Gabriela Muniz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing a safe healing environment for first-generation students and young professionals. I prioritize liberation and collective healing for all individuals, and I am devoted to advocating for inclusivity, diversity, and social justice in our mental health services. I adopt a holistic approach, striving to meet clients at their current stage. Utilizing systemic theory, I analyze the different elements influencing my clients and craft tailored strategies to help them achieve their objectives.

Stressful life events, endless thoughts in the night, and emotions that seem out of control can be overwhelming and isolating. Exhaustion and mental health stigma can further push quality of life and sense of fulfillment out of reach. As an Asian American psychologist in California, I am passionate about supporting my community through thoughtful counseling that cultivates deeper understanding and healing. I have presented research and workshops on the intersection of mental health and diversity, and have over 8 years of psychotherapy experience focused on building awareness, learning coping skills, and improving quality of life.

I hav a unique combination of both professional and personal experience in adoption and infertility, so who better to guide you through your transition, adoption journey or adoptive parenting? If you have experienced infertility or secondary infertility, and are considering growing or expanding your family through adoption and don't know where to start, then I can help. If you are already a prospective adoptive parent, I can provide educational and supportive services. Many of my clients are adoptive parents who need support with an open adoption relationship and/or talking to their child about adoption.

I specialize in working with black women who have checked many of the boxes in life but have found themselves in a challenging relationship. One day it’s all good and the next week it's all bad. You argue all the time and feel the relationship could be fixed if you just knew what to do and what to say. Anytime you want to communicate, it just ends with more fighting. Even though you’re constantly explaining yourself, you’re not being heard. You feel alone, isolated…like you can’t talk to anyone about what’s going on. And sharing your experience with family or friends means being judged and receiving unhelpful advice to "just leave."

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms as well as people struggling with coming out, questioning their sexual or gender identity, and other issues connected to the unique experiences of being LGBTQIA+ in our society. My approach is collaborative. We will work together to identify your goals, develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and experiences, explore what may be interfering with your ability to live a fulfilling life, increase healthy self-esteem and coping skills, and overcome the harmful effects of social oppression and discrimination.

Hi, my name is Daniela - nice to meet you! Starting therapy is an important step in becoming and feeling your best self. We all struggle in life, but we are not meant to do it alone. That is where I come in - I offer a safe space to work through whatever you are dealing with. A place where you can feel heard and understood. We will together work to gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. Most importantly, we will build on your strengths so you can learn to apply them towards healing, growth, and change. I am so glad that you are here - let's connect and begin this journey together!

Hi there, my name is Jordan Abernathy-Cornelius. I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker (LCSW), fluent in English and Spanish, with a background of working with adolescents and families in the healthcare system helping patients navigate grief and complex medical decisions. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse and unique backgrounds highlighting a variety of issues such as: anxiety, stress, coping, past relationships, family dynamics, and many more.

Balance is essential to a happy life, and therapy can help you achieve it. Young adults (age 18-45) have so much adjustment in their lives, but need help reaching their potential. These are the best times full of hope and freedom, but are often weighed down by anxiety and feelings of sadness. If you are experiencing difficulties in being a student, an early or transitioning career professional, a new spouse, or working through balancing health, now is the time to move forward. Learn how to develop emotional safety, create balance, recapture your purpose and focus, and improve your performance skills.

Relationships are either the most fulfilling or the most challenging part of our lives (or both!) - whether with our partner, kids, friends, or family. I'm certain you value your relationships, but maybe you're struggling to feel connected, appreciated, or to stay calm when conflict arises. I promise there’s a reason you’re feeling the way you do, and the reason is more understandable than you think. When we’re at odds with a person we love, it's easy to get stuck in "me vs. them" thinking instead of tackling issues like a team. These last few years have been hard on everyone - if you're struggling right now, you're not alone.

I believe that we as humans can turn pain into power (I have experienced this myself)! I also believe that when you feel seen, understood, and safe, healing happens. There are not many places where we can come to be, breathe, and experience unconditional acceptance. Therapy is a place where you can show up as yourself, keep it real, cry, laugh, and do everything in between without feeling judged. It also provides an experience of safety, calm, openness, and engagement.

I think parents are very important. Most parents raise their children the best way they can. Sometimes the best way your parent or parents raised you did not match your needs or your emotional personality. I believe each person is able to identify their needs when properly supported. My main focus when working with clients is to develop an understanding of their main strengths as well as areas that were not supported by their parents' parenting style. Our work together will focus on improving your overall understanding of your potentialities and will support your efforts at achieving them.

I am a therapist specializing in trauma and helping clients develop corrective emotional relationships and healthy attachments. I apply innovative techniques such as EMDR and somatic awareness for trauma, depression and anxiety. I draw from many treatments and I employ a diverse body of proven interventions to achieve treatment goals. At Pacifica Graduate Institute, I gained a creative depth psychology base while studying many cutting-edge modalities. By using dream work, psychodrama, sand tray, and sensorimotor therapies, I have enriched my practice beyond talk therapy as alternative methods to reach the unconscious.

I strive to cultivate a trusting and honest relationship with my clients so that they feel fully seen. I have more than 10 years of experience working with families, individuals, children, and adolescents in various settings including schools, direct therapy, community mental health, non-profits, child welfare, and criminal justice. I provide clinical services to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, high-stress work environments, and coping with life transitions.

I believe therapy is about connection. Therapy is based on the connection with your therapist to create a meaningful, supportive space to explore your most vulnerable emotions. Therapy can help you strengthen your connection with the people in your life in a positive and hopeful way. And most of all, therapy can grow your connection to your most authentic self. Therapy can help guide and support you through times of stress, build communication and interpersonal skills, and develop a deep understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.

As a Certified Hypnotherapist, NLP Coach and Time Line Therapy Practitioner, I believe that everyone has the answers they are seeking inside of themselves. I gently guide my clients in their self-discovery journey to create permanent, positive shifts in thinking at the subconscious level. I uniquely offer a 4-hour Power Breakthrough Session, employing a combination of proven Hypnotherapy and NLP Coaching techniques that enable you to surface and release years of emotional pain in a secure and relaxing environment. I invite you to reach out to set up a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to discuss your specific needs.

I believe that it takes great courage to take that first step in reaching out for help, whether you are coming from a place of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, grief, or confusion. It can also feel scary to look inward and honor your truth and to let your "true colors" shine. Together, we can process and sort through the pain and help you find meaning, clarity, healing, joy, and connection.

Is your child seeking a safe space for them to process their thoughts and emotions? I specialize with working with young children (6-12), children with disabilities who have behavioral, social emotional difficulties, and adolescents (13-17) who struggle with trauma related issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and suicidal tendencies. This period of your child's life has the potential to be filled with the best memories of youth and freedom but are often weighed down by anxiety and feelings of sadness.

Are you looking for a space where you can keep it real and get support with achieving your goals? Good, because I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to create their best life. Building your happiness can be a challenging task as we are often faced with various societal stressors. As an African American woman, I am deeply aware of the societal stressors that hinder wellness. Without the proper support, obstacles in life can prevent you from being healthy and happy. My desire is to support Black Women from varied and diverse backgrounds with creating and or sustaining the life that they want for themselves.
