Shannon Thomas

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist in both therapy and assessment. My testing expertise is assessment for ADHD, anxiety, mood, learning disorders, neuropsychological issues, & pre-adoption evaluations. I offer testing in-person and virtual testing. My therapy specialty is individual and couples therapy for ADHD, anxiety, and relationship/communication issues. As issues with motivation, attention & sleep commonly go hand-in-hand, I am a certified sleep therapist & certified in ADHD Management.

Layla Ashley

Have you lost your passion and creativity? Do you feel stuck in your relationship or career? Are you highly sensitive, and feel overwhelmed and burned-out? I work with Highly Sensitive People, singles and couples, using CBT, mindfulness and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. I am a relationship specialist, and specialize in pre-marital, marriage, break-ups, dating, life-purpose, and self-esteem building. I have diverse experience working with sexual diversity, addictions and cultural challenges.

Carrie Covell

My clients are vibrant, intelligent individuals who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after losing a loved one (companion animals included), or in the midst of a conflict or transition.

Lorraine Schwartz

I work with adults & couples from various communities who feel stuck, would like to learn new coping skills, heal & grow. While navigating relationship issues, life transitions or trying to understand why you are in pain it is healing to be seen, heard & accepted. I strive to create this in our work while helping you to connect with & understand parts of yourself you may have kept hidden. Areas also include improving communication, learning to process emotions & reactivity, boundaries & ADHD.

Damon Dodge

I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.

Cayla Minaiy

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.

David Watson

Finding meaning in life, healing, becoming whole again, & thriving (not just surviving) are examples of potential goals for our time together. Within that framework, we can customize our work to meet and embrace your unique personality & needs. A couple of meaningful quotes: “You are not meant for crawling. So don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly." ~ Jalal al-Din Rumi (13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic) “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung

Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.

Want to be heard and understood? Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors including sex addiction), or infidelities? Having difficulty finding a relationship, or leaving one? Want to stay together, but your marriage is rocky? Communication problems or behavior problems disrupting your relationship? Held back by old patterns? Does it feel like life is "too much" sometimes? These are just some of the reasons why people see me.

Concierge Psychiatry | California + New York | Dr. Sheenie Ambardar, MD

Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.

Shavonne James

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.

Dr. Alexus Martinez

I strive to create a safe and affirming space for clients to engage and connect with their whole self. I am passionate about working with individuals, partners, young adults and the LGBTQIA+ community struggling with libido, erectile issues, self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, desire discrepancy, infidelity, intimacy, gender identity, and sexual orientation. My ideal clients are ready to fully show up and claim their pleasure.

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.

Andrea Haro

My clients are ready for change. They are ready to take action to stop the ruminations, catastrophic thinking, and change the limited beliefs that have hindered them for too long. Their bodies have been burdened by it, often carrying tension and unexplained pains. Their relationships have been negatively impacted by it, including the most crucial one with themselves. They want to discard harmful old patterns, have more agency, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from fears.

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.
