David Strah

My clients are a diverse group of people ranging from age 14-70 and representing all genders, sexual orientations and many races.

Eric Katende

Reaching out for help is one of the most humbling experiences we can go through in life. In a world that is constantly pushing narratives on us based on race, gender, sexuality and/or dominant cultural beliefs, it is life-affirming to engage preferred narratives that support and empower our own values. In difficult times it is easy to feel misunderstood or lost, longing to reconnect with our own resources. My work aims for those reconnections.

Nicole Bermensolo

I have had the privilege of working with children, adults, couples, and families of diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, religions, and gender spectrums. I love the work I do and find it fulfilling, meaningful and beautiful. I feel grateful for the people that trust in me and allow me into their lives. I seek to establish a trusting, accepting, and collaborative relationship with my clients to support them in navigating life's many challenges.

Lucy Cotter

My couples and individual clients have many varied backgrounds, professions, and world views. I consider my clients to be the experts on their own experiences as they teach me about their unique histories, cultures, orientations, and preferences. As a fine artist, I often work with creative clients such as artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors. I look forward to learning about you and your own lived experiences.

Laurel Roberts-Meese

Lawyers, executives, and entrepreneurs find support and understanding in my practice. You've got a lot going on; your relationship is strained, or your anxiety is increasing. Maybe you and your partner are experiencing higher levels of conflict or disconnect. Maybe you've experienced a recent loss or traumatic event. Or maybe you feel unsatisfied with your life, despite having "everything" you want. Whatever brings you to therapy, I'll be your engaged partner in working through it.

Jill Danielle Weiss

My areas of specialization are: trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationships/dating, prenatal-postpartum (infants and mothers), ADHD, executive coaching, breakups and divorce, woman’s issues, addiction, LGBTIQ +, building self esteem and life transitions.

Mary Belton

I have experience helping adults, adolescents and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, illness, loss, life transitions including gender and sexual identity, substance abuse, relationship concerns including non-monogamy, negative body image, menopause, and the particular challenges faced by those working in the creative fields.

Claire Summers

Are you stuck in patterns that don't support the healthy and balanced life you imagine? Do you feel like it's impossible to move away from destructive behaviors and build supportive, loving relationships? You may be feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by these anxiety-driven patterns—I hear you. Therapy can provide insight and tools to break free from these patterns and gain clarity on behaviors that support who you truly are. I look forward to helping you find the path to well-being.

Brooke Taylor

I work with individuals who are struggling with emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, and challenging relational dynamics. If you feel disconnected from your true self, find yourself overextending in relationships, or feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, I can help. My clients are people who want to break free from limiting beliefs, heal from past experiences, and create more fulfilling, authentic lives and relationships.

Gwen Lotery

Curious, motivated maybe knowing but not quite expressing what you envision for yourself and/or your partner(s).I love working with folks who are wanting more eroticism, fun, desire, change, more or different in your sexual life. Navigating an open relationship. Seeking knowledge and the possibility of incorporating kink. I work well with adolescents and young adults who are blossoming into who they envision themselves to be. I'm well-trained, forward-thinking, creative, and I listen intently.

Carole Goguen, Psy.D.

I know what it's like when your mind constantly wanders, except for those times when you get intensely focused on the wrong things, making it hard to pull away. The anxiety of everything you need to do looms over you. At home, everyone expects you to organize their lives while you struggle to organize your own. You feel frustrated for not meeting their expectations and can't comprehend why you can't accomplish things you know you should be able to do. Life feels chaotic and out of control.

Jillian Luz

I find that my clients come to treatment when they have arrived at a life transition- be it loss of relationship, job, death of loved one, or realization of past traumatic experiences- and are ready to process their emotions and heal. Openness to exploring your internal world, including past traumatic experiences that may be impacting your life, is integral in the work I will support you in.

Margo De La Cruz

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode—you are not alone. Together, we will quiet the internal noise, build your capacity for the hard stuff, and reconnect you to a steadier, more rooted sense of self. I often work with clients navigating trauma, relational ruptures, and the emotional weight that comes with healing. Our work is about finding clarity, creating compassion, and expanding what feels possible.

Anna Schick

Do you constantly have thoughts swirling in your head and have a hard time staying present? Do you feel overwhelmed, burned out, and constantly anxious? Do you want healthy relationships in your life but struggle to allow these people in? Are you going through a life transition and need some support? Do you feel difficulty asserting your needs with others and struggle with people pleasing? I am here to help reduce overwhelm, stress, anxiety and difficult emotions that are preventing a full life.

Vanessa Setteducato

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

Jackie Allen

I work with creative, sensitive, and intuitive young adults in California who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their inner voice. I offer a supportive space to explore, heal, and reconnect with your authentic self while navigating life transitions, anxiety, self-doubt, and creative blocks. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with creative and intuitive practices such as expressive arts therapy, creativity coaching, tarot, and dreamwork.

Rebecca Doppelt

Do you get caught in repetitive unhealthy cycles? Anxious thought loops or the same relationship mistakes over and over? Our fast-paced culture can be challenging for personal growth, but together we can collaborate to find tools that work for you. Whether you are seeking happiness in relationships, anxiety management, healing from trauma or better ways to communicate, we can work together toward your goals.

Katie Chaudry

If you're looking for a holistic and practical approach to healing, we are likely a good fit for each other! I often attract young adults who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, past trauma, and want to live a more meaningful life because I have struggled in these exact areas and have similar intentions myself. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life.

Sarah Segal

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Kevin Brody

Being alive in the 21st century is wild. Navigating a complex, relentlessly changing world and overlapping systems of oppression can be a confusing, isolating challenge. You know your struggles and deserve a safe place to explore them with authenticity, empathy, and validation. My warm, genuine, and collaborative approach provides a space to learn more about yourself, address your concerns, and develop self-compassionate coping skills in line with your values.
