Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Costa Mesa, CA

Hello, I am a California licensed psychologist with 8 years of experience in clinical work. I was a research and development engineer for 20 years; I became interested in mental health since 2013 and it has been a humbling journey. I enjoy listen to your stories and life struggles whether it is due to mental illnesses, relationships, or changes. My diverse background equip me with the experience to better serve you. I hold a PsyD, M.A. Pastoral Ministry, and M.S. in Computer Science.

I’m Jackie Berrios, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience in mental health. I'm a mother of two toddler boys, and a proud first-generation Latina from the DC area, living in CA since 2013. I help mom's struggling with depression, anxiety and adjustment to tap into their strengths and move forward confidently.

I am an empathetic and thoughtful provider that likes to include humor when possible. I help adults experiencing depression and anxiety by supporting them to understand and reframe limiting beliefs and thinking patterns. I am experienced and passionate about working with diverse communities such as LGBTQ+, first generation and BIPOC.

Feeling stuck and ready to take the next step in your life? You’re not alone. I support clients who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and long-standing unresolved challenges by helping them explore their experiences with curiosity, compassion, and safety. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, trust your inner voice. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we’ll identify goals that matter most to you whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, addressing unresolved challenges, or figuring out what’s next when you’re ready for change but unsure where to begin. I primarily integrate evidence-based therapeutic methods, with EMDR as the central approach guiding the treatment process

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience working in mental health, with a primary focus on women’s mental health. I support women navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, especially those who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted internally.

I believe deeply in the power of words and how they shape our mental and emotional well-being. My work is rooted in speaking life, clarity, and hope into spaces where patients may feel discouraged or stuck. I work with all adults who are seeking thoughtful, intentional, holistic care.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.

You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.

With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of CRiY Therapeutic Services: Cultivating Resilience in You. I specialize in helping individuals navigate stress, trauma, grief, and emotional challenges using varying approaches that build resilience and leads to lasting change as you journey to renew your mind. I provide support to individuals 13 yrs and up, couples, and families. I also provide support to individuals living with chronic pain including sickle cell anemia, long term disease, and individuals struggling with varying life challenges.

I’m Maria, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over twelve years of experience working with families, children, and adults. My work has focused on breaking generational cycles of trauma and navigating challenging life transitions. In my work I have supported individuals and families through growing up, raising their children, and bringing healing and harmony into the home. I am deeply passionate about helping others on their journeys toward personal growth and a better quality of life and consider it a gift to be an agent of change.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a working mother of a college student and clinically supervise and train other clinicians. This experience gives me a unique perspective and understanding on navigating life transitions and balancing multiple roles.

My approach is warm, affirmative, and solution-oriented – with some humor mixed in. While it can feel intimidating to take that first step, if you are ready, I can guide you in finding areas of strength while also challenging areas for growth in a compassionate way. Together we can work toward healing in a safe environment and create positive change to improve your quality of life.

My passion lies in working with clients who need assistance with personal empowerment and identity development. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. Effective therapy takes effort and commitment from both the therapist and the client.

I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, systemic stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. With 11 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve worked across diverse communities, including Black, Native American, Veteran, and criminal justice-involved populations. Clients often describe me as grounded, direct, and compassionate, and I bring deep respect for each person’s lived experience into the work we do together.
