Hola! I'm Maribel, a seasoned provider of 20 years who believes in starting where you are. I will support you through your current struggle. I partner with you in your healing. I look forward to supporting your growth and helping you discover your strengths and patterns so you regain control of your journey.

My name is Dion Davis, originally from Santa Barbara County. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a thriving private practice in downtown Los Angeles. I have worked with diverse populations, such as survivors of trauma and abuse, blended families, foster parents, couples (dating, engaged, and married), adults with substance/sex addiction, mood disorders, and older adults/seniors. My communication style is empathetic, incorporating positive language and active listening.

You might have experienced childhood trauma, a distressing single event and/or are overwhelmed by society's impossible demands placed on mothers or with being a neurodivergent brain in our neurotypical-dominant society. You might look like you have it all together (or not!); but either way, are overwhelmed and discouraged. You might be confused, dissociating, or have no idea how you feel.

Come as you are. However you are. You are so welcomed here.

You can experience wellness within even in the midst of your past (or present) circumstances.

Areas of focus and interest include women’s issues, self empowerment, positive manifestation, dream work and mind/body healing utilizing somatic guided imagery.

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.

We often seek therapy when we're ready for change and part of our life has become unbalanced. A feeling of discontent, depression, or anxiety may have lasted a lifetime, or may have been initiated by a transitional change, such as loss of a relationship or career, or a yearning to grow beyond where we have been stuck. I welcome all parts of you, and will meet you where you are at in the journey towards wholeness.

I'm a therapist who believes real change starts with feeling truly heard. I specialize in working with motivated clients who are ready to take action and move forward in their lives, rather than staying stuck. If you want to feel more in control of your emotions, your choices, and your future, I offer a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you get there. Together, we will make sense of what you are going through and find ways to help you feel more grounded and confident as quickly as possible. My goal is to help you build on the strengths you already have, even if you don't see them just yet.
