I welcome any individual, couple, and/or family who are willing to do some solution focused work to bring some freedom, hope, and joy.

I am currently accepting new clients. Clients have told me when seeking therapy, they appreciate the return call as they have left several messages without a response from other therapist. Please know I will respond. Life challenges or stresses can affect a person in many ways such as; depression, anxiety, trauma, illness, or strained relationships. If you're struggling in your relationship, adjusting to divorce or a loss of a loved one, or just trying to survive in these tough economic times, perhaps I can help.

I am passionate about working within my LGBTQIA+ community and hope to provide the support and safety we all deserve as we navigate toward a happy, healthy life.
I'm Chloe Ragusa, an LCSW based in SoCal. I am an eclectic therapist and use techniques from many different schools of thought to provide care tailored to each of my client's needs.

Hi! My name is Rowena Fernandez, I have been a practicing LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) for over 2 decades in California. I believe in overall wellness so my approach to therapy is client/solution-focused, psychoeducational, and preventative while working with adults/older adults with anxiety, mood, and adjustment disorders. I think that everyone motivated by change is equipped to take a different path for a healthier lifestyle. My usual client profile is individual adults/older adults who may be dealing with anxiety, mood, and adjustment disorders (i.e., stress with life transitions).

I believe in being a resource to you because it is not I who can save you or change your life; I am there to support you as you reach your fullest potential, design your life as you want it and change your life for the better.
I believe in working with my clients to develop collaborative goals that will allow us to utilize evidence-based, culturally-responsive and faith-based interventions, as desired. My methods incorporate both eastern and western healing interventions and always begin with a holistic life assessment. Too often clinicians work to make the symptoms feel more manageable. I like to do things differently. I work alongside my clients to discover the root causes of their struggles and witness my clients empowering themselves to unravel those unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Together we can learn how to heal and thrive.

Life Coaching Therapists
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
