Welcome,
My name is Grecia Sanchez, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 5 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families and survivors of domestic violence.
I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and have extensive experience working with the Hispanic/Latino community.

I have also had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I believe healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

Hi there! My name is Gina, and I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I have 6+ years of experience helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship concerns, helping them build greater self-esteem and discover their authentic sense of self-worth.
I support clients who want to better understand attachment patterns, communication difficulties, and recurring relationship dynamics, as well as individuals coping with chronic illness, pain, disability, cancer-related concerns, and questions of meaning and life purpose.
Hi, I’m Gigi — a fat-positive, queer therapist with over 15 years of experience in mental health, and a deep commitment to creating space for healing, exploration, and radical self-acceptance.
I believe therapy is for anyone seeking growth, clarity, or peace — especially those who’ve been told they were “too much” or “not enough.” I specialize in working with clients navigating identity, gender, sexuality, body image, and nontraditional relationships.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your most authentic self and build a life that feels like it belongs to you.
My work is rooted in curiosity, humility, and compassion. I draw from a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and attachment-based work — all through a feminist and socially conscious lens. I also recognize the complex systems of power that shape our experiences, and I aim to make therapy a collaborative space where your voice is centered and respected.
What matters most to me is that you feel seen, heard, and supported. I know what it feels like to move through the world feeling unwelcome or unseen — and I’m here to offer something different. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that no longer serve you, celebrate what makes you beautifully unique, and find ways to move forward with more confidence, self-love, and ease.
You are the expert in your life. I’m here to offer tools, perspective, and a steady hand — not to fix you, but to walk alongside you as you build the life that feels like home.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and 34 years of experience, offering telehealth therapy to clients in California. I'm most in my element with people who are learning their needs, what's getting in their way and feel ready to meet their challenges. My clients come from all walks of life. I help those who are too hard on themselves to become their own best friend.
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.
