Hello, my name is Francisca, I have experience working with community mental health, with undeserved communities and individuals from all walks of life. I've gained a lot of experience helping clients heal from traumatic experiences, process grief, and facilitated their empowerment to take on the reins of their healing journey.
I am a proud Mexican American woman who believes that we all possess inherit gifts and capacity to heal and when identified and fostered this can be our catalyst for change. I am interested in learning each person's story and offering ongoing evolving support through the alliance that we will cultivate.
I am well versed in a myriad of modalities that are trauma informed as well as psychodynamic, somatic treatment frameworks. Overall, I am an ongoing student. Aside from my professional trainings, I have learned via my individual healing journey, and from the individuals I have helped. I am passionate about helping each individual realize their path to healing.
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals across all stages of life—from young children to older adults.
I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and trauma-related issues. I also work with clients dealing with ADHD, panic disorder, hoarding disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as hair pulling and skin picking, and life transitions.
As a bilingual therapist (English/Japanese), I also bring deep cultural awareness to my work. I understand the complex dynamics that come with cross-cultural identity, immigration, and intergenerational communication, and I strive to create a healing space that honors your background and experiences.
Hi! I am a licensed clinical psychologist, offering secure virtual therapy services throughout California and Texas. I provide flexible, accessible care for busy professionals and individuals, seeking support from the comfort of home. I am working with individuals, couples, and families.
My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.
Hi, I’m Jessica. I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, family conflict, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, codependency, and women’s issues. Using a humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and client centered approach, I create care that is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique goals.
I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults navigating ADHD, burnout, addiction, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand how your mind works—while building practical tools that create real, lasting change.
Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.
Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.
