Chelsea Sutter

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 14 mi away • Tustin, CA


I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.

Travis Buchanan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Tustin, CA


Hi, I'm Travis Buchanan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC). I know that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest steps a person takes, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate life's challenges.

Over the years, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of struggles, including relationship difficulties, addiction and recovery, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, and the impact of unhealthy or abusive relationships. My experience has taught me that while our challenges may shape us, they do not define us.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique story. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood, gain insight, and discover new ways of moving forward.

Drawing from Adlerian principles and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, strengthen their relationships, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, struggling with addiction, or simply seeking a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, therapy can provide a path toward a healthier and more meaningful life.

My goal is to help you not only overcome obstacles but also build the confidence, connection, and sense of direction needed to thrive. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in La Palma

Searching for therapists in La Palma starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, so you can choose someone whose style feels aligned with your goals.

La Palma is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger parts of Orange County or Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates and what to expect in the first session.

Therapy in La Palma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your preferences and offer in-person or virtual sessions, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your plan and area. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
