Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tarzana, CA


All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My POV is through a Neurodiverse lens and incorporates Attachment Theory and C-PTSD with the idea that much of our conflict and distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs that can often be traced back to necessary adaptations needed to survive not only our families of origin but also societal norms and expectations. The gig of being human is hard and de-coding this blueprint can provide a path toward understanding, healing and, fulfillment. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Alecia Singer

Alecia Singer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Francisco, CA


I’m a licensed therapist in San Francisco with over 15 years in private practice. I specialize in Eating disorders, body image and trauma and work primarily with adults who are exhausted by the cycle of restriction, compulsive eating, shame and self criticism and are ready for something to genuinely shift. My training includes, IFS, Somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT and Expressive Arts therapy, which means we will not only engage in supportive talk therapy, but also have real tools to work. My clients often express that not only do they heal and find peace with food, disordered eating and body image, but they also become more able to feel and tolerate emotions and regulate moods, while building trust in their bodies and discover true hungers, desires and enhance creativity and vitality. This can lead to more ease and comfort in your own skin, with the potential of more meaningful work and healthy relationships.

Kassandra Woodson

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe healing begins in relationships where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, and feel supported as you navigate life's challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a compassionate, collaborative, and authentic approach to therapy. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

I believe every person's story is unique. Rather than assuming what you need, I take the time to understand your experiences, values, strengths, and goals. Together, we'll create a path forward that feels meaningful, empowering, and aligned with the life you want to build.

Whether you're facing a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed, or simply looking for a place to process and grow, my hope is that you'll find a space where you feel heard, respected, and never alone in what you're carrying.
