Mike Strauss

Mike Strauss

Therapist

Virtual • California


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.

Therapist

Virtual • San Diego, CA


I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I’m David Cao, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth psychiatric medication management for adults across California. I help young adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, mentally drained, or stuck take the first step toward care in a calm, low-pressure, nonjudgmental space.

I have over 7 years of experience in mental health care and work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, overthinking, and related concerns. Many people I work with are trying to manage work, school, relationships, responsibilities, and their mental health all at once.

My goal is to make psychiatry feel less intimidating and more approachable. In our first few sessions, you can expect an unhurried conversation about your concerns, clear explanations of medication options, and a collaborative discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives. I want you to feel heard, informed, and involved in your treatment decisions without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured.

Sarah Stone

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Sarah.

For more than 14 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of life's most challenging and transformative moments. My career has taken me everywhere from neonatal care to hospice, giving me a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human experience at every stage of life.

Today, I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18–30) who are navigating life's many transitions—whether that's graduating, starting college, launching a career, building relationships, or simply trying to figure out who they are and where they're headed.

Originally from Colorado, I completed my education there before moving to California, where I earned my clinical social work license and continued developing my approach to therapy. My background has shaped me into a systems-oriented therapist, meaning I look beyond symptoms to understand how relationships, family dynamics, environment, and life experiences all influence your well-being.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, challenged, and supported. My goal isn't just to help you get through difficult moments—it's to help you build a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and sustainable.

When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll likely find me out for a run, cheering on the Seattle Mariners, spending time with my cats, or seeking out quirky places and new adventures. Those moments remind me that healing isn't only about working through hard things—it's also about making space for joy, connection, and curiosity.

I'm honored to do this work and would love the opportunity to be part of your journey.
