Hello, I am Joanna Bain! I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping clients learn how to build healthier relationships. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around anxiety and depression. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals.

I genuinely care about my clients and our sessions are goal-directed and purposeful, so you don't spend more time or money in therapy than necessary. I received my doctorate in 2008 and have been a licensed psychologist since 2009. I've worked in a wide variety of settings with people from all walks of life, including college students, medical staff, law-enforcement, and many others. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, difficult relationships, or some other issue, together we can tackle it.

"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence." We believe everyone deserves someone who is present, patient, open, non judgmental, and willing to listen and hear you. Overwhelming feelings can surface a different times in our lives, and needing support through those moments is not a sign of weakness but a sign of being human. If you are struggling with communication, not feeling heard, feeling stressed, not knowing what to do, grieving, feeling alone, or feeling exhausted by all the none stop thoughts in your head... We are here for you.

I have spent the last 20 years providing mental health services to children and adults as I feel it is my calling. I am systems oriented as I do not believe that we exist in a vacuum. We are all influenced by the environment we live in. There are times when we all need assistance in navigating our individual systems.

“Change Your Thoughts and You’ll Change Your World”. My goal is to offer and provide support within the therapeutic relationship that allows for you to gain insight on discovering your needs. I believe everyone needs support but struggles with how to ask for help. In my practices I provide the time and space for you to feel heard, supported, and most importantly I provide empathy. Empathy is a powerful word as it defines the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone might be thinking or feeling. I always try to create a warm, heartening, and empathetic environment with every client.

Running on autopilot, feeling numb, feeling miserable, and perpetual suffering. Feeling overwhelmed. Nothing I do is right? I’m not good enough. Feeling like you can’t change a situation? Your life feels out of control, things are blowing up in your face, and you feel lost. Your life seems to be more difficult than you imagine, and you just want to make things right. You are either content or dissatisfied, no other way out or around. You’re just stuck. You want to be more present with yourself or the people around you. "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." - Carl G. Jung

I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist actively working in the field since 2019. My psychotherapy experience comes from supporting clients from different walks of life (homelessness, at risk youth, community agencies, private practice settings, and adults in various types of careers). I’ve worked with a wide range of diagnoses dealing with topics around coping with stress, mood, relationships, trauma, anger, and harm (to name a few). I utilize an integrative approach drawing from various modalities to meet the needs of each person in a different and unique way.

My goal as your therapist is to walk alongside you and support you. I understand that you may be feeling overwhelmed with what life has sent your way. When stress or doubt impair you, the ability to move forward can become simply overwhelming. My background and training have allowed a comfort level in my approach to addiction, severe diagnosis, and trauma. I treat the whole person, working together to resolve and increase daily satisfaction. We will collaborate to identify the skills needed for you to grow.

I believe that people are all inherently relational beings and when our relationships - whether with ourselves, other people, or God - are hurting, life can become incredibly painful.

I admire those who have made it to this point and are ready to take a step towards meaningful change! Our close relationships, with family, friends or romantic partners, play a major role in shaping every individual. I have seen how relationships can impact many of our life aspects, such as self-esteem, what we value, and the roles we play in everyday life. I am a systems therapist and therefore incorporate this role our relationships play when working with those who have experienced any form of trauma as well as couples wanting premarital counseling, help with improving communication and rebuilding trust.

My name is Sarah Stromwall and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) specializing in working with youth and adults who have experienced trauma and/or facing challenges in every day life. I strive to provide a compassionate, safe, and encouraging space to work alongside you to become all that you were created to be. I believe that together we will learn healthy responses, establish healthy boundaries, gain insight, untangle unhealthy thought/behavior patterns, and develop skills to assist you and/or your child cope with the challenges of life, and face these challenges with confidence.

Life sometimes brings difficulties, hurts, or trauma that can overwhelm us. I provide a warm, accepting, and gentle approach to helping people grow, heal, and hope again. I work with individuals to discover new ways of thinking, gain new perspectives, and learn skills to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma and emotional pain. Sometimes we need to be heard and believed. Other times we need direction, and relief from distress or anguish. There is good news! There is hope! You can get better; and I am here to walk with you through this journey of healing.

Hi I'm Kristen Telon, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a huge advocate for early intervention and looking into childhood for answers to issues in adulthood. I am very passionate about being a therapist and being here to help my clients by being there for them through their journey. My approach to therapy is client-centered because I want to tailor my approach to each clients unique situation. My favorite therapy modalities are CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, Family systems, and EFT.

Being an adult, parent, or a teen has its own challenges which can have impact on your mental health. You may have been thinking to reach out to a therapist to understand current struggles and how to navigate through life stressors. You may be struggling in regards to an upsetting personal event that occurred, family/peer/intimate relationship struggles, or communication barriers that have been impacting your personal life. I work to provide my clients with an individualized approach as every clients story is unique. I support clients by providing comfort, compassion, and empowerment to be able to move forward in their life.
