Yasmin Philipos

Yasmin Philipos

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! I’m Yasmin Philipos, and I work with clients in California who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in people-pleasing and relationship patterns. Maybe you’re the one everyone counts on, but you find it hard to say no, set boundaries, or trust that your needs matter too. You can care deeply for others without losing yourself in the process. You may panic when someone is disappointed in you, second-guess your decision to say "no", or wonder whether you're asking for too much. In therapy with me, we'll notice what happens when you want to speak up, set a limit, or choose yourself: but feel pulled to take care of everyone else.

Ava Saheli

Ava Saheli

Therapist

Virtual • California


A core priority in my work is helping clients reclaim the power of their voice. Therapy is most meaningful as a collaborative process where you are not only heard, but truly attempted to be known. As an Iranian American therapist, I understand the richness and complexity of holding multiple cultural identities. I especially enjoy supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), as well working with teenagers and adults navigating identity formation, relationships, and the often tender process of growing into themselves. There’s room here for deep healing, honest conversations, and the occasional ‘okay, but why is my brain doing THAT?’

Jonathan Laski

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a Christian therapist, I walk with clients to strengthen and support them in learning self compassion, understanding their worth, finding insight and living wisely. I have studied psychology and marriage and family therapy for over 13 years and have been in practice as a therapist for 7 of those years. I have intentionally learned and applied principles and practices which help clients sustain growth from hurts, unprocessed feelings and lack of direction toward more energy, enjoyment and purposefulness in life again.

I look forward to consulting with you to see if our therapeutic work would fit with you!

Gurleen Hans

Gurleen Hans

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Beverly Hills, CA


Hello, I'm Gurleen Hans, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been a registered nurse for five years, working with diverse populations and cultures throughout California.

My background includes specialized training in psychiatric medication management, comprehensive diagnostic assessments, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I work with adolescents and adults across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, giving me a thorough understanding of care at varying levels of treatment intensity. This experience has reinforced my belief that recovery looks different for everyone and can happen at any stage of life.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of psychiatric care, from initial evaluation and accurate diagnosis to ongoing medication management and thoughtful treatment refinement.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I also work with adolescents navigating mood disorders and behavioral challenges unique to their developmental stage. My work with Assertive Community Treatment teams has deepened my insight into supporting individuals with complex needs within real-world community settings.

What drives my work is a genuine love of caring for others and helping people find meaningful relief from their symptoms. I believe effective mental health care requires clinical expertise, compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a true willingness to listen to each person's unique story. I am here to partner with you in achieving your goals.
