Hello, I'm Mojgan. If depression, anxiety, “overthinking” and past traumas are affecting you and your relationships, please know there is hope, and healing is possible. I offer a warm, respectful, and emotionally safe space where you can explore life’s challenges with understanding and compassion. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience, I work collaboratively with you to help deepen self-understanding, heal from past traumas, strengthen relationships, and navigate changes. Reaching out for the first time takes courage, and you do not need to have the right words for it yet. If any of this sounds like what you have been carrying, I would be glad to hear from you, and we can start wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Cassandra Black

Cassandra Black

Therapist

Virtual • California


I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and empowering — I believe you are the expert on your own life.

As a graduate of the University of Southern California, my training emphasized both clinical excellence and authentic human connection. I integrate CBT and DBT-informed approaches to help clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, navigating relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.

I was drawn to this work because I’ve seen how powerful self-awareness and skill-building can be in transforming not only how we cope, but how we experience ourselves and our relationships. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a grounded, supportive space where you feel truly seen — while also gently challenged to grow in ways that build confidence, clarity, and lasting self-trust.

My name is Jacqueline Aguilar, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California with over 13 years of experience in both mental health and healthcare settings. As a therapist, I am especially passionate about helping individuals overcome their fear of travel—whether that involves flying, visiting a new country, or taking a first cruise. In addition to this focus, I support clients in managing anxiety disorders, chronic health, depression, self esteem and OCD.

I have found it deeply rewarding to help individuals build self-esteem, navigate life transitions such as divorce or breakups, and process grief related to the loss of a loved one or cherished pet. Ultimately, my goal is to support each person in reaching meaningful, lasting change.
