Hello, I’m Traci Martin! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping others get through life's obstacles and onto their journey of healing. I believe each person has the inner strength to excel beyond life's difficulties. My Approach My approach to providing therapy is a combination of compassion and understanding. I see the client as a person first. I build on the client's strengths, interests, and resources. I believe clients have the power to grow, change, and make their situation better through inner strength.

My name is Christie Pfalzgraf and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents and specialize in trauma, coping skills, life transitions, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, and personal growth, using Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy, EMDR, The Flash Technique, Focusing, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

Hello! My name is Jenny Misirli, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I love being a therapist, only second to being a mother. There is such power in connecting with people going through challenges, listening to what they want and need to change to help them live the lives they want.

I believe you can have a life of purpose, passion, and growth. I imagine every individual or couple has the ability to get curious, change patterns, and recover from even the most difficult life circumstances. Although the thought of therapy can be scary at times, reaching out to a compassionate professional can be the first step in learning new ways to manage past hurts or embrace new life transitions. I view my role as your teammate; helping you to achieve your goals and jointly discovering a healthy path forward. Your life is your own and I am committed to helping you realize a vision for your future that is uniquely yours.

I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently practicing in Los Angeles. I have had the privilege of working with teens, adults, parents and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and beyond.

Are you looking for insight into difficult thoughts or feelings that keep you from enjoying relationships, family, and career? When traumatic events or unexpressed feelings are left unattended we can become identified with these states and symptoms like depression, social anxiety, substance abuse and self sabotage can arise. It can be difficult to make changes and overcome obstacles without support, new tools, and new insight.

Personal growth, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, issues surrounding sexual orientation or gender identification, life transitions or everyday life impediments are my primary focus for treatment. I draw upon your own personal strengths, talents, and desires to identify the options you have to move past the challenges you've identified and create alternative outcomes. Whatever the need, growth is a process that is worked on collaboratively in treatment. When the challenge exists between you and a loved one, treatment highlights the development of clear, honest, and respectful communication so that all parties may gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the person next to them.

In my experience, suffering thrives in isolation. That’s why it can be so helpful to talk about your experience with someone. As a trained professional, I'll work with you to process your anxiety, grief, shame, and depression. I want to help you trust your feelings and body, grow your self-acceptance, and learn how to be both creative and flexible in the face of the inevitable hardships of life.

As a post modern thinker, I believe that each person has the skills and strengths to create an affirmative narrative, that is not based on negative self-talk or unproductive messages. I like holding conversations that will spark curiosity and explore opportunities to author your new stories.

Hello, I’m an LMFT and I thoroughly enjoy my work as a therapist. My name is Kylie Mackenzie, but you can call me Ky. I change my approach with everyone I see, generally speaking, because everyone heals in their own unique way. My most common theoretical approach is client-centered (we are equals) and psychoanalytic (I’m a blank slate) so the focus is purely on you with a split of problem solving and breaking down the emotional parts of the issue. I am very familiar with working with adults and teens. I have experience working with substance abuse and dual diagnoses.

Being a person in this world can be exciting, painful, scary, and awe-inspiring (sometimes all at once!) and I’m here to hold space for the paradoxes and messiness of life. My intention is to help you reclaim and accept the parts of yourself that you’ve learned to disown — and we all have those parts. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the ability to move toward more ease and connection.

My name is Danielle and I am a Licensed Clinical Social passionate about helping others. I consider it an honor and privilege to support my clients through difficult times. When setting goals in therapy I like to help my clients identify what they would like to get out of therapy. I believe it is important to visualize where you would like to be in the near and distant future.

I strongly believe in the healing power of a safe therapeutic space and human connection to build resilience and foster a more fulfilling life. I strive to co-create a safe space that is warm, collaborative, and empathic so that, together, we can process and integrate past or current traumatic or disruptive experiences, and explore questions of identity, self-concept, and interpersonal relationships. My client-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative approach lends itself to meeting my clients where they are at and walking alongside you as you uncover the strengths and tools within to face life’s challenges.

I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist foreclose to 40 years and have had the good fortune of working with individuals, couples and families dealing with a variety of life's challenges. I work with issues of sexuality,life needs, anxiety, adolescent and family problems,depression,abuse, addictions, special needs children and interpersonal relationships.I also do extensive work with people confronting the hard work of grief and loss and with individuals who have lost someone to suicide. My goals as a clinician are to guide individuals toward healing and self-understanding in an atmosphere of trust and self-respect.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 9 years of clinical experience. My work has allowed me to engage and support clients challenged by depression, anxiety, adjustment situations, trauma, loss and grieving, and addictive substances. I utilize client-centered and solution-based approaches in my therapeutic work and strongly advocate for the client to determine what priorities are most significant in the therapeutic relationship.

You already have what it takes to heal. However, I can facilitate a dynamic, compassionate holding space in which we will examine, untangle, and explore.

I work with individuals and couples who feel disoriented, trapped, and need help walking forward. Pain comes in many different forms such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, fear, low self-esteem, discrimination, betrayal, anger, or just feeling lost. This pain can be like quicksand, constantly trapping you no matter what you do or try. My specialty is working with people whose pain is made more complex by intersecting identities (Religion/Spirituality, Culture/Race/Ethnicity, LGBTQ+, immigration). In addition, I have specializations in working with, multiracial people, emerging adults, men, and helping professionals.

I offer clients a supportive, caring environment to identify solutions for growth and well-being. I specialize in psychotherapy for children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families to navigate life challenges. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor with you, setting the course to achieve your identified goals.
