Hi
My name is Maximiliano Cabellos, LMFT
I am here to support you in addressing your needs and help you discover an appropriate and healthy approach. My goal is to assist you in getting to the root of challenges and overcoming them to live a more fulfilled life.
I love working with individuals to improve their quality of life.
Hello! My background has been in community mental health practice—working with a broad range of life situations and issues people face. During that time, I worked with individuals, children/teens, couples, and families. I taught a values-based parenting class for several years, helping parents to strengthen their skills. Now that I have my own practice, I love working with women from all walks of life and with teens and children.
Let me help you with anxiety, depression, grief recovery, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictive/co-dependence issues, self esteem, and other serious life issues. I hold an MA Degree in marriage, family and child counseling. I conducted my LMFT practicum at Loma Linda Behavioral Medical Center.
Hi, I’m Abdel! With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate care for individuals managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. As a bilingual speaker in English and Arabic, I specialize in creating an inclusive environment where patients from all backgrounds feel truly heard and respected. My goal is to empower you through open communication and evidence-based treatment to help you achieve lasting wellness.
Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 26 years of working as a mental health professional, one important lesson I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is found in the interpersonal experience that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning to achieve healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fontana
Finding addiction therapists in Fontana starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and related concerns like anxiety or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Fontana has local therapy options, and virtual appointments can expand your search across California when the right local fit has limited availability. Recovery can involve progress, setbacks, and changing goals, so it helps to find a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with addiction care. As you compare therapists in Fontana, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they structure sessions. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, approach to substance use concerns, and experience with the type of support you want.
Therapy in Fontana can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
