When life feels heavier than it should—when your relationship is strained, the path to parenthood feels painful, parenting feels overwhelming, divorce leaves you untethered, or success at work still leaves you feeling stuck—you don’t have to sort through it alone. In addition to working with couples and individuals, I work with startup founders/executives/corporate professionals to drive better outcomes in their professional and personal lives. I offer a warm, collaborative space to help you heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I also support women who are going through infertility.
I have been a therapist for 52 years. Due to a long history with many types of people in many settings, I am able to work with a wide array of people. I am well known for my capacity to listen, my warmth, and my ability to connect. Gentle humor is an important part of my work and personality.
I provide online therapy for individuals facing life transitions, relationship struggles, grief, stress, and the challenges that naturally arise throughout life. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and down-to-earth, helping clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change in a space where they feel safe, heard, and respected.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and bring more than 40 years of experience working with teens, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings, including psychiatric care, acute care hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health, skilled nursing facilities and private clinical practice. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people develop through life’s hardships, as well as the important role grief, loss, anger, and healing can play in personal growth.
I work best with clients who are ready to be honest with themselves, open to vulnerability, and motivated to make lasting changes in their lives.
Hello, My name is LeRae. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I believe therapy is a place where you can feel heard, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow. I know that starting therapy can take courage and my goal is to help you feel comfortable being yourself as we work together toward meaningful change.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or caught between various obligations, you are not alone. I offer my clients with support to navigate their way through life challenges.
My focusI specialize in working with adults and families that need assistance in navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD symptoms, and relationship stress. My focus is on assessing how clients' circumstances stem from various life challenges- especially immigration and intergenerational experiences.
I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 34 years of experience. I do my best to meet you "where you are" and to offer compassionate presence as you progress through your personal process of self-discovery, self-identification, and evolution.
I'm honored to be part of your journey of transformation. I approach sessions in collaboration, as you learn to free yourself from judgment, criticism, and pain; to change negative perceptions that do not serve; and to experience more ease and peace in life.
Aloha nui loa, and welcome to new possibilities, as you step through the threshold of conscious self-care. Congratulation on taking that first step in reaching out for help. Let's start that process together by creating a treatment plan that will address your needs.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) which is a credentialed mental health professional that works with individuals, couples - both married and unmarried, families of all configurations, children and adolescents, and groups to facilitate healing or relief of mental, emotional, and relational concerns.
I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.
I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.
I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.
Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.
Hi, I'm Kathryn. I specialize in working with new moms and families as they transition into a new phase of life. Welcome to my practice.
I am passionate about walking through pregnancy and postpartum highs and lows with new moms. I do work with women at all stages of life from starting relationships and careers to the later years of retirement. I work also with men and with couples.
Change is a constant in life but navigating it can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone. I provide a safe, supportive space to help you gain clarity, insight, and a stronger sense of self.
I have been practicing medicine as a nurse practitioner for 23 years, and psychiatry has always been my passion. My work is driven by caring, empathy, and a genuine love for people. When I meet someone for the first time, I pay close attention to the sadness, anxiety, pain, or confusion they may be experiencing. I listen carefully and begin thinking about how to help them move toward feeling balanced, healthy, and capable in their daily life.
My clinical focus includes mood disorders, attention difficulties, obsessive or intrusive thoughts, sleep issues, anger management, and psychosis. Over the years, I’ve developed a unique approach to medication management—one that combines experience, thoughtful evaluation, and individualized care to give each person the best chance at success.
Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. But even before motherhood, life has a way of piling on. Maybe you’re a college student juggling everything at once, a working woman with too many open tabs and not enough hours, or a mom running on empty wondering when it became this hard. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, burnout, life transitions, or just that feeling that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way — you deserve more than just getting through the day. This space is for you!
As a therapist, it is my passion to support women navigating challenges related to different life stages. I provide a compassionate, safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their emotional and physical well being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laguna Hills
Searching for therapists in Laguna Hills starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist’s experience matches it. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and details about how they structure sessions. A bio can help you see whether a therapist’s background and approach fit what you want from care.
Laguna Hills is a smaller city, so local in-person availability may vary by office location and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Laguna Hills can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
