I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Dominican University. Over the years, I've worked with adolescents and adults in both community mental health and private practice. My work focuses on anxiety, relationship challenges, body image concerns, life transitions, and helping clients better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I believe we're all continually evolving, and I strive to bring warmth, curiosity, and authenticity into every session.

Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn’t changed. I help adults and older teens navigate traumatic experiences, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties. With over 20 years in the field, I bring a warm, direct, collaborative approach to helping you feel more grounded and connected. I offer gender-affirming therapy and LGBTQ+, kink, and polyamory-supportive care that respects your identity, relationships, and goals. I also welcome people living with chronic mental illness.

I've been in practice for many years because I like working with others to solve problems/issues in their lives

Hi, I’m David Sudyka, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #1790385250). I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families find healing, balance, and a deeper sense of connection in their lives. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring your experiences and working toward meaningful change. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach, meeting you where you are and helping you build on your strengths. I often draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR to support healing from trauma, manage anxiety, and foster personal growth and emotional well-being. Together, we’ll work toward creating the life and relationships you want.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) clinician who helps women navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the emotional weight of being everything to everyone.

Many of my clients are successful, capable women who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.

They are often balancing careers, relationships, caregiving, motherhood, or major life changes while struggling to prioritize themselves.

While I specialize in pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, birth trauma, and pregnancy or infant loss, you do not need to be a parent to work with me. I support women across the lifespan who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, build effective coping strategies, and help you create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi! Im Mike Strauss and I specialize in anxiety, PTSD, depression and substance abuse. With my own background as an addict now with 17 years clean and sober, I organically found my purpose as a clinician. What initially started with drug and alcohol counseling immediately turned into something bigger, as I pursued a master’s degree in social work. Understanding that addiction is but a symptom of underlying fears and traumas resulting in mood disorders, I was able to REALLY look at myself as I encourage my clients to do during their journeys toward self-realization.
