Siomara Guzman Vasquez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (English and Spanish) with 13 years of clinical experience, and I work entirely via telehealth across California. My clients range from children and adolescents to adults and seniors, and often I'm working with whole families at once.


A lot of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or major life transitions, and many are doing it while also managing the weight of cultural expectations, immigration history, or intergenerational patterns that don't always have easy names.


My sessions are judgment-free, bicultural, and built around what actually helps you move forward.

Luciana DeCamargo

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Westlake Village, CA


You may have spent years trying to make sense of painful experiences, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in relationships without fully understanding why. Childhood and sexual trauma can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves, experience emotions, and connect with others. You may have learned to survive by putting others first, staying strong, or keeping your feelings hidden. But surviving is not the same as feeling safe, connected, and truly at peace. You deserve the opportunity to heal.
