I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing since 2017. I’ve worked with children, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, family challenges, substance use, and co-occurring mental health conditions. I've supported people from many different backgrounds and at different stages of life.
I have specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I especially enjoy working with women and families through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, grief and loss, and major life changes.
I think of myself less as someone who has all the answers and more as a companion on your journey. Therapy can be a new, exciting, and sometimes scary journey and I’m happy to be your travel buddy along the way.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to balance, mindfulness and joy. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations and addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. This journey has reinforced my belief that each person's path to well-being is unique and deserves a personalized approach.
Hi, I’m Naheed. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey built on compassion, patience, and respect. Every person’s story and experiences are unique, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring your experiences, and working toward meaningful change.
I understand that these experiences can affect emotional well-being, relationships, self-esteem, and how individuals view themselves and the world around them. My approach is trauma-informed, focusing on creating a space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered as they work toward healing and personal growth.
In addition to my clinical experience, I bring personal understanding of women’s mental health experiences, including the challenges associated with postpartum depression. This perspective allows me to approach therapy with compassion and empathy while supporting women as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity changes that can come with motherhood and major life transitions.
I’m Rachel Benjamin, and I help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges to build more authentic, connected, and empowered lives. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and barriers that have been holding you back and work toward lasting change around your strengths and values. If you are thinking about starting therapy, or returning after some time away, but feeling unsure, you’re not alone. Taking that first step can bring up a mix of emotions. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time, it likely means you’re ready to begin exploring meaningful change.
Hello, I’m Jeanet Vargas, LCSW dedicated to supporting individuals navigating divorce, breakups, and major life transitions. I am passionate in working with first generation population and professionals managing stress, anxiety, depression, and OCD.
As a first-generation individual, you may carry unique pressures—balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal needs—while trying to honor where you come from and where you’re headed. Together, we’ll work through these challenges, exploring tools to manage grief, anxiety, and self-doubt, and to help you reconnect with your voice and inner strength.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.

You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Healing is possible, and you are not alone. I earned my Master’s degree with honors from West Coast University. I take pride in helping my patients develop personalized plans to improve their well-being and successfully adjust to life changes. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and respect.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Yoshi, who is full of personality and love. I’m passionate about traveling for pleasure and for work with Liga International Flying Doctors of Mercy. I love connecting with nature and those in need, which helps me stay grounded and balanced.

Hi, I'm Cassidy, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that healing starts with a warm, genuine connection. If you’ve been struggling with the weight of depression or anxiety, I’m here to walk alongside you with kindness and understanding. I love combining the 'science' of therapy with human connection, making sure you feel seen and supported while we break down the big stressors into more manageable pieces.

I’m a bilingual (English/Korean) licensed clinical psychologist with over 13+ years of experience helping adults (20 and older) navigate anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, identity questions, and major life transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based techniques and a deep respect for the human spirit. I integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based methods with holistic tools drawn from meditation, Eastern/Western philosophy, and positive psychology. This allows me to support you not just in coping with challenges—but in creating a more meaningful, centered life.
I especially enjoy working with creatives, professionals, and individuals exploring cultural or gender identity. Whether you’re dealing with racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, shifting roles, or inner conflict, we’ll work together to clarify what matters most to you and how to move forward with intention. Therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical—it can be a dynamic, reflective process that helps you reconnect with your values and sense of possibility.
Taking the first step can feel uncertain, but if you’re ready to talk, I’m here to listen. You deserve support that aligns with both your inner world and everyday life. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Anaheim
Finding postpartum therapists in Anaheim starts with looking for care that matches what you want support with after birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, sleep changes, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training or listed specialties in perinatal mental health, postpartum counseling, therapy for new moms, or counseling for new moms. A certified perinatal mental health professional credential, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training in this area.
Anaheim offers both local office-based care and virtual therapy options, which can help you find a therapist whose schedule and approach fit your life right now. New parents may need flexible appointment times, shorter travel, or virtual sessions that work around infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. When reviewing therapist profiles, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer a free phone consultation, and describe experience with postpartum counseling or therapy for moms. Bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions and communicates, which can help you choose someone who feels like a good fit before you book.
Therapy in Anaheim can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your preferences, view insurance information, and offer direct booking when available. You can compare profiles, check cost estimates, and book a session or free consultation when you’re ready.
