My name is Kevin Farrell, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for 19 years. Over my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of clients across the lifespan. The areas I have focused on are addictions, LGBTQ+, identity, attachment, and end-of-life issues. My primary goal is to build trust and a strong alliance with a client in order to assist them in the process of change. I consider myself to be a psychodynamic psychotherapist, meaning that I often look beneath the surface of what the client feels, says, or does.

I strongly believe that every human being is worthy and should be living their best life. Therapy should be a safe place where one can explore our deepest emotions, thoughts, and feelings without judgement. Together, I believe we can help you heal from past emotional wounds that are not allowing you to be who you truly are.

I have worked in outpatient mental health programs, non-profit agencies, field-based community programs, and private practice.

Hello and welcome! My name is Tienna Jackson, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey to emotional well-being.

Everyone needs a safe and nonjudgmental place where they feel comfortable sharing their unique life story. Many times we stay in negative situations, because of our past, or we are afraid of taking a risk into the unknown. This is due to creating thoughts that prevent us from living the life we want. Being able to identify our thoughts can lead us to make better choices, feeling more empower leading to self-esteem development and improvement. I can be a tool to help you identify your thoughts as well as your emotions in order to make positive life decisions in a safe and confidential environment.

What is the purpose of therapy? I believe it helps people understand what they need from themselves or their loved ones, and how to ask for it. It's often necessary for people to understand why they stopped using their voice to ask for what they need, or to find out if they ever learned how to use it. Through unconditional support, non-judgment, and caring confrontation, my intention is to help people find peace and trust in their relationships and within themselves. I have worked for several mental health agencies, and have extensive experience helping individuals, couples, and families.
