Hi! I'm Ava, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem, depression, and trauma in women. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology & Education from UCLA and my Master's of Marriage & Family Therapy (clinical psychology) from USC.
Women who find me often describe feeling disconnected from themselves in ways that are hard to explain.
Most are in their 20s, many of whom are Latina, navigating identity shifts and redefining who they are after major life transitions. They may have ambition, potential, and clear goals, yet still feel held back by something invisible. That “something” often goes by many names: depression, low self-worth, insecure attachment, abandonment and rejection wounds, and unresolved relational trauma from childhood.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Costa Mesa, CA
Searching for therapists in Costa Mesa starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and populations listed in their profiles. Some therapists highlight methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, while others focus on areas like trauma-informed care, couples support, or identity-affirming care.
Costa Mesa has local therapy options, and nearby Orange County communities may offer more choices depending on your schedule and preferences. If in-person availability near South Coast Metro, Westside, or Eastside Costa Mesa is limited, virtual sessions can expand your options while keeping care connected to a California-licensed therapist. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on before you book.
Therapy in Costa Mesa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that part clearer before your first appointment. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapists who match your preferences, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage in Costa Mesa before booking.
