Samantha Houda

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi there, my name is Samantha and I have 11+ years of experience helping adults navigate exactly those kinds of struggles: chronic illness, PTSD and trauma, relationship difficulties, and the kind of ongoing stress that quietly shapes how you see yourself and everything around you.


Some of the hardest things to carry are the ones that have become part of your daily routine. The stress that keeps building, the grief wrapped up in a medical diagnosis, the family dynamics that nobody talks about but everyone feels.

Fernando Vinuela

Fernando Vinuela

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a bicultural, 55-year-old and very proud father of two adolescents. In this growing age of isolation and need for sincere, genuine human connection, it has never been more important to regain our sense of control and serenity. The foundation of our work together is based on restoring this basic human need. I believe the answers lie in the path itself, not just in reaching the destination. Together, we will learn to welcome challenges as opportunities.

I specialize in helping children, families, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, and men's mental health. I work with clients from infants and toddlers through adults, which means I can support the whole family, not just one person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and I won't treat you like a checklist. The work I do is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you direct your life, not just understand it.
