Hello and welcome to the profile! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the beautiful state of California. I graduated in 2016 with a Master of Science in Counseling/Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. My training background includes work with children and teens. Three years ago I started working with adult clients, which I have enjoyed as I have gotten to support young adults and adults; this has given me the opportunity to expand my practice. In my work with clients, I provide dedicated support for those navigating the symptom management of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in guiding individuals through significant life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—helping them process the uncertainty that comes with change. Additionally, I am committed to supporting those working through trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space to process past experiences and build resilience for the future.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. As a culturally competent therapist, my mission is to empower individuals to harness their inner strength and create transformative change in their lives.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and met with compassion. My goal is to create a collaborative, grounded space where you can show up as you are—without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll identify your strengths, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, realistic goals. I am passionate about fostering trusting therapeutic relationships and providing a supportive environment where healing and growth can happen. My hope is that you leave each session feeling empowered, encouraged, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.

I'm Yascara Robledo! I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California in 2022 and have been working in the mental health field since 2018. My experience includes providing school-based therapy with Santa Rosa City Schools, where I've primarily supported teens. I am excited to expand my practice to work with adults as well. I'm passionate about supporting as many people as possible and believe that accessible, virtual therapy is a powerful way to help people get the care they need.

As your therapist, I take a collaborative, non-judgmental, experiential approach to psychotherapy. I will join you in creating a deeper understanding of yourself and your life by helping you organize your emotions and attuning to the sensations throughout your body. Through our work, you will gain a wholesome sense of who you are. With safety and connection we will build tolerance to life’s experiences. Allowing you to engage fully with life through the trust that is created within yourself.

Some of the hardest moments in life are invisible. The world doesn't always know what to say, how to respond, or awareness something even happened. Perinatal mental health lives in that space: the longing, the loss, the love tangled up with overwhelm. Whatever you are carrying that led you here, know it is real, it matters, and you do not have to navigate it alone.

I'm Salvina, an LPCC specializing in perinatal mental health, with a foundation in early childhood mental health and family counseling. I work with individuals and couples navigating infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, child loss, the transition into parenthood, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum depression. I'm certified in Motivational Interviewing, trained in Gottman Therapy, and currently completing my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. I've been practicing full-time for almost four years.

Welcome and congratulations on beginning your therapy journey! I'm here to support you as you take steps toward your goals and develop into your best possible self. I hope to create a safe space for you to find relief, healing, and develop meaningful insight to reach your fullest potential.

My name is Yer and I have worked in the field of mental health and wellness for 15 years. I have provided therapy services to children and adults of all ages and backgrounds. It is a privilege for me to help individuals work through varying challenges and to help them identify and meet their therapy goals. Insuring clients feel heard, empowered and included in their care are a priority for me. I have training in various areas, including but not limited to treating depression, varying kinds of anxiety, life changes, postpartum depression and anxiety, stress management, relationships and grief and end of life challenges. I strive to create a comfortable environment for talk therapy where clients meet therapy goals and improve their quality of lives.

I am a bicultural, 55-year-old and very proud father of two adolescents. In this growing age of isolation and need for sincere, genuine human connection, it has never been more important to regain our sense of control and serenity. The foundation of our work together is based on restoring this basic human need. I believe the answers lie in the path itself, not just in reaching the destination. Together, we will learn to welcome challenges as opportunities.

I specialize in helping children, families, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, and men's mental health. I work with clients from infants and toddlers through adults, which means I can support the whole family, not just one person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and I won't treat you like a checklist. The work I do is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you direct your life, not just understand it.

My name is Gillermina Alvarado and I go by Mina. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Riverside, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I received my Master's from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 9 years.

I work with young children, adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief and loss, behavioral challenges, and life changes. My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable — I want my clients to feel comfortable speaking with me about anything and feeling safe, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

Above all, I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you have many strengths that will help you overcome what's challenging you. It takes courage to take the first steps toward change, and I'm here to support and empower you in that journey.
