Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!

I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.

Mike Strauss

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi! Im Mike Strauss and I specialize in anxiety, PTSD, depression and substance abuse. With my own background as an addict now with 17 years clean and sober, I organically found my purpose as a clinician. What initially started with drug and alcohol counseling immediately turned into something bigger, as I pursued a master’s degree in social work. Understanding that addiction is but a symptom of underlying fears and traumas resulting in mood disorders, I was able to REALLY look at myself as I encourage my clients to do during their journeys toward self-realization.

Elizabeth Gomez

Therapist

I have years of practice across clinical, executive, and case management roles. I've worked with adults and older adults navigating everything from decades of unprocessed trauma to the kind of anxiety that makes everyday life feel like an uphill climb. I'm experienced, I'm direct, and I genuinely believe therapy works best when you feel like you're being heard — not assessed.

My approach is eclectic because people are complex. I don't believe in rigid scripts. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic techniques, and strength-based methods — adapting what's most useful for where you are right now. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross CA, Blue Shield of CA, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and more. I offer telehealth sessions throughout California, so no commute required.
