Hi there! I’m Jocelyn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in supporting individuals who were expected to take on adult responsibilities at a young age. Together, we'll explore the lasting impacts of family trauma, including the unique experiences that can come with growing up in immigrant families, navigating cultural expectations, mental health stigma, and breaking generational cycles of trauma.

I work with high achieving individuals that struggle with high functioning depression.

Shanna Darling

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.

I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.

Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.

Arcelito Glorioso

Therapist

Virtual • California


I was a victim of trauma, which caused me to seek healing through therapy and by the grace of God. I became a therapist as I have experience walking out of the pain and suffering and embracing healing as a victor over the bondage of complex trauma. Additionally, I am an immigrant and first generation, Asian American Filipino, who has first hand experience with migration, navigating complex structural corporate systems as I was previously working in law, and in vet medicine. Now my goal in life is to run back into the darkness to help walk and guide you into the light.
