Teletherapy for California

Are you tired of struggling? Are you seeking someone to help you navigate life's challenges and reauthor your own story? I'm Kelly, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with a passion for helping people access their full potential. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults and LGBTQ individuals, helping them discover new perspectives and foster positive change. I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining narrative therapy, EMDR, creative arts therapy, DBT, person centered, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy to help you meet your individual goals.

Starting therapy can feel exciting and intimidating—especially when trying to find the right fit for yourself, your child/teen, or your family. My heartfelt intent is to uplift people to find peace, compassion, and deep connection in life. Imagine breaking free from repetitive, scary, and hurtful thoughts & feelings; feeling secure, serene, & at home with yourself even on hard days; knowing you're capable, worthy, and connected to love. If you or your child struggle with isolation, hopelessness, unworthiness, people pleasing, or feeling "out of control" or “stuck” in areas of life, I would love to support you to thrive.

Hi there! I am a second-generation Filipinx-American therapist from Union City and based in Los Angeles, California. With experience in the home, school, and medical settings, I have provided 1:1 therapy, family counseling, support groups, Mental Health First Aid training, coalition-building, and supervision for clinicians and interns as the clinical program manager for a non-profit agency. With the understanding that wellness is holistic and the arts are healing, I am inspired by people’s stories and believe in the therapeutic elements of self-expression for personal growth and greater social change.

Hello my name is Amanda Peraza (they/them). My goal as a therapist is to provide a gender affirming safe space for you to explore your most authentic self!

Welcome! I’m a white, neurodivergent, nonbinary lesbian therapist. I’m LGBTQIA2S+ celebrating, trauma-focused, and social justice-oriented. Using an anti-oppressive lens, my work is informed by movements in anti-racism, queer theory, liberation psychology, and disability justice. My focus is queer and trans children, adolescents, and adults who may be dealing with life transitions, and struggling to carry the weight of school or work. I love to work with autistic clients and individuals with other disabilities. I enjoy working with families who want to build trust, communication, and mutual respect.

Are you or your middle school/high school age child needing the support of a gender specialist? Or are you an adult needing a LGBTQ+ affirming transgender/nonbinary therapist to support you in building greater resiliency and mental health? Welcome to my practice! I'm Dr. Townsend (he/him or they/them). I bring research, clinical, and lived experience to my work with the LGBTQ+ community. My approach combines tailored interventions, a warm interpersonal style, and fostering a safe and supportive environment to support you or your teen to reach greater authenticity and actualization.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I get excited about helping people find their personal path of growth, healing and self-discovery. I want to support you feeling safe and supported just as you are. I support all identities and relationship expressions and want to help you find more comfort and empowerment in your life.

Hi, I’m Eula Lys (“oi-lah leese”). I'm a trans non-binary therapist and provide somatic, relational psychotherapy that celebrates queer, expansive, non-conforming and neurodivergent folx. I help you embody your authentic self and come home to your body. I get how exhausting it can be to find supportive spaces where you have the freedom to let your identity expand and evolve. I hold a space that is supportive, affirming, and creative. I keep it real, and hold space where we can name and acknowledge systems of oppression.

Are you feeling stuck? Would you like to understand yourself better? One-on-one therapy can help you move through challenging experiences and explore feelings, preferences, and behaviors, in a safe, confidential, supportive environment. If you are struggling in your relationship(s), relational therapy can help you adapt to transitions, foster clear and supportive communication, and meet underlying relational needs. Therapy can also build on individual, couple, and family strengths, and encourage healthy growth through challenges and transitions.

Starting therapy for the first time or returning after a long break can feel intimidating. You might have even had bad experiences before. I'm here to help. We will go at your pace because your experience is important to me. I believe that lasting change and healing can only happen when our whole selves are seen and welcomed. I provide a safe healing space and bring a strong, grounded presence so that you can begin to cultivate more love and compassion for yourself, connect with your inner wisdom and become more whole and authentic in your relationship with others.

In life we can sometimes feel stuck in old patterns. Or maybe our sleep, eating, or job performance has changed. Mood, physical health, and mental health are all connected. Brain fog, tiredness, loss of interest (or sleepless nights, jittery days, etc) can mean the balance is off. These are times when therapy can help you understand the issues from a new point of view. Primarily, I see my job as one of listener and guide. Together, we can figure out what's keeping you from being a joyful resilient person. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. I am here if you are curious or ready to begin.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Hi, I'm glad you made it. Asking for and finding support is tough, but this is the first step. Tell me, do you find it difficult to stay motivated throughout the day? Are you constantly ruminating on interactions with others, anxious about whether you said or did the "right" thing? Perhaps you spend most of your time and energy worrying about how others perceive you? Or, maybe you struggle to feel deserving to take up space in a conversation or a room full of people? If you identify as a perfectionist, people-pleaser, over-thinker, or struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth, therapy might help cut through some of that noise.

Accepting New Clients! Are you a trans, non-binary, or poly person looking for a therapist who understands and reflects your identity? Are you a newly diagnosed neurodivergent or neuroqueer adult? Are you chronically ill and tired of educating your therapists about your medical conditions? If so, you're in the right place! I want to give you the care you deserve. I want to work with you on the unique challenges you might be facing, like navigating your transitioning experience, exploring sexual dynamics with partner(s), dealing with a new diagnosis, and needing an HRT or surgery letter. Therapy should cater to you and your needs.

It’s natural to feel lost sometimes. When you are overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, or disconnected, having a space to express yourself genuinely with a witness is medicinal. Reaching out for help can be hard and I appreciate everything it has taken for you to get here. Finding a trusted ally is an important step in receiving the help that you need to live as you truly are, wholeheartedly. I believe in the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship and it is my honor to be a companion along my clients’ journeys.

Hi, I'm Dani and I would love to work with you! My approach is strength-centered and collaborative. I can help you with understanding and managing anxiety, depression, and processing through past trauma. Together we can work on building emotional intelligence, distress tolerance, and communication skills. I'm a butch non-binary person who can empathize with those struggling to be trans in America right now. I've also got lived experience as a disabled and neurodivergent person.

As an LGBTQIA empath, intuitive, or highly sensitive person, you experience this world in a deeper, more complex, intuitive way - including painful experiences of trauma. With so much pain in the world, it's hard to care for your own feelings and needs, let alone heal from your experiences of trauma. I specialize in supporting LGBTQIA empaths to heal from the trauma of oppression, abuse, and sexual violence and reclaim their gifts and voice. To embody their own sacred needs and ways of being, and find sustainable, empowered ways to integrate empathy, spirituality, community, and nourished activism.

We live in a hectic and chaotic world. Sometimes the tools we have just stop cutting it. Everything is suddenly a struggle. You may have been to a bunch of therapists and it didn't work. You may never have been to therapy and you just want to figure out how to feel better. You’re not alone, you’re not “crazy”. I can help. I'm a non binary, queer, AuDHD clinician who practices from a sex positive, trauma informed perspective and comes with an impressive list of trainings and certifications, but more importantly, I'm a regular human who's here to connect with you on a genuine and authentic level.

You have already taken an enormous step towards your healing by beginning to look for a therapist, so first take a moment to express gratitude for yourself. You want to feel at ease, liberated, seen, understood, connected to others, and comfortable taking up space. I can help! As a 2-SQT/LGBTQ+ Affirming, Anti-Racist, Trauma-Informed, Intersectional, and Liberation-Based therapist, I acknowledge that systemic harm, like white supremacy, generational trauma, and the violence and abuse that is perpetuated by trauma and oppression can have deep, lasting scars that that impact our relationships with ourselves and others.
