I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, or relationship challenges. Although it takes time, I encourage my clients to take a deeper look into their thoughts and feelings so that they can understand how to work towards their goals.

Julia Girzadas

My specialized interests include working with young adults and adults who have a history of sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I hope to work with clients who are motivated to come to therapy and discuss the topics they feel are important. I work well with clients who have low self-esteem as I am extremely passionate about an empowerment approach with clients.

Ashley Chan

I hope to serve those seeking to strengthen their connection with themselves and those around them by empowering their authentic identity. The stressors of everyday life can become overwhelming with the uncertainty of tomorrow. We quickly become filled with anxiety when feeling unprepared for these uncertainties. With our bodies designed for survival, symptoms of anxiety become easily integrated into our daily life, creating the cognitive distortion that life is bleak and unfulfilling.

Adrianna Sirinian

I enjoy working with fun, quirky queers, children of immigrants, artists, and creatives who are seeking to find their true selves in a world that often discourages thinking outside the box. They’re on a journey to heal from past wounds, uncover unconscious beliefs, and embrace a brighter, more authentic future.

Jillian Mooney

My clients often struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt. They may have difficulty building or maintaining meaningful relationships, leading to negative self-talk. They seek a space to feel understood, learn to cope with negative feelings, and express emotions in healthy ways. As we explore their past and how it impacts the present, they gain self-awareness, confidence, and the skills needed to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I work with a wide range of clients encompassing many ages, backgrounds, and identities focusing on a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, grief, gender and sexuality exploration, and more. I want my clients to know I am here to navigate and accomplish their goals on their own terms. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship can be built with open communication, honest feedback, and accountability both on the part of the client and the therapist.

Raven Malave

I have experience working with teens and young adults of all genders facing challenges like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, identity struggles, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and interpersonal conflicts. Navigating transitions like high school or college while learning about themselves and their place in the world can feel overwhelming, especially when other obstacles arise. My ideal client is ready to begin a meaningful journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.

Katarina Bennicoff Yundt

My goal for you is to become your most authentic self–intentional, empathetic, vibrant, and engaged with the world. For me healing is about ongoing evolution, reconnecting with yourself, finding inner peace, and feeling whole and worthy as you are. In our work together I will support you in reclaiming all parts of yourself with compassion. Sessions may involve discussion, guided movement, body exploration, meditation, breath work, writing, or art creation.

I am particularly dedicated to those who have been excluded from mainstream therapeutic spaces. My expertise is with queer and trans communities; sex workers, poly / ENM, kink / BDSM communities, neurodiverse and disabled communities; and substance users. My approach is informed by my shared identities and experiences with these communities. I work with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence; childhood and adult sexual violence; attachment and complex trauma; hate and institutional violence.

Viviana Del Aguila Niebylski

Many of us have had experiences that left a mark in our souls and bodies. While I don't believe in a cure or quick fix to ease such troubles, I do believe we can work together towards integrating and processing past experiences so that they may be more capably carried. I work with older adolescents, adults and older adults specializing in sexuality, navigating adulthood, cultivating authenticity and transmuting trauma.

Online Therapy

Caroline Burke

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and/or trauma? Have you developed maladaptive coping strategies over the years to manage distress from these experiences, such as an eating disorder, substance use, self-harm, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), to name a few? I offer a combined approach to addressing not only these symptoms, the underlying factors, and re-imagining the role that these disorders play in your daily life.
