Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping folks navigate life's challenges.
I graduated from California State University, Chico and I have extensive background working in community mental health settings with people across the lifespan.
My practice focuses on supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal mood disorders, and I'm a certified perinatal mental health practitioner (PMH-C), bringing specialized training to support parents during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting years.
My approach is collaborative, solutions oriented, and grounded in evidence-based methods to help you build the skills you need to thrive!
I’m Dr. Mariam Esfahani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Psychology. With nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping adolescents and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I also specialize in couples therapy, guiding partners toward healthier communication, connection, and conflict resolution.
Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.
Hi! I am Alyssa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with four years of clinical experience. I have found success working with people navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing and perfectionism. I have a specialty in Attachment, which allows us to understand how your upbringing shapes the way you operate in the world.
I'm here to support you every step of the way! This is a non-judgmental space to collaborate, learn to trust, and heal in relationships. Together, we can navigate through the jumble in your mind, explore past traumas, and understand their current impact on your life. I integrate CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy to help you find peace.
I am Gina Feletar, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 27 years of nursing experience, and a dedicated companion on your journey toward well-being. I am serving clients in both Arizona and California.
Healing begins when we see the whole person, not just the symptoms. My practice blends evidence-based care with a holistic perspective, creating space for healing that also honors your uniqueness. Beyond managing mental health conditions, my mission is to help you reclaim your strength, and rediscover hope rooted in wellness and purpose.
