Hi! I'm Ava, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem, depression, and trauma in women. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology & Education from UCLA and my Master's of Marriage & Family Therapy (clinical psychology) from USC.
Women who find me often describe feeling disconnected from themselves in ways that are hard to explain.
Most are in their 20s, many of whom are Latina, navigating identity shifts and redefining who they are after major life transitions. They may have ambition, potential, and clear goals, yet still feel held back by something invisible. That “something” often goes by many names: depression, low self-worth, insecure attachment, abandonment and rejection wounds, and unresolved relational trauma from childhood.
Hi, I'm J! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and relationships across a range of settings, from community mental health to private practice. My approach is interactive, dynamic, and deeply engaged, because I believe real progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine partnership. Whether you're navigating long-standing challenges or facing something new, I'm here to help you move forward. I currently see clients via Telehealth and can't wait to connect with you!
Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience. I bring all of this and my blended family life to the table when I'm in the room with clients. They deserve the whole person.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly two decades of experience, I provide therapy that is both clinically grounded and deeply human. My practice integrates Trauma‐Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, early childhood psychotherapy, and perinatal mental health frameworks to support individuals and families through complex emotional and relational challenges
Welcome. I'm a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to supporting people who are going through a tough life transition, whether it’s a diagnosis, relationship loss, other loss, or it’s you who have changed. You may be stressed, burnt out, depressed, anxious, and/or traumatized by what you are going through and carrying. You don’t have to do this alone. You can find your spark again. I have specialized training in somatic psychotherapy and evidence-based mindfulness therapies. As a person living with T1D, I love working with others in the diabetes community, and I understand the mental load and energy it takes, every single day.
Oh, hey! What a coincidence to meet you here. Everyone seems to be stressed, depressed or plain old over everything and everyone. I get it. I really do. The last thing you want to be doing on your fifteen minute break is looking for someone to talk to about your problems and the general state of the world, but you're here, and I'm available to listen. I'm not going to use a bunch of fancy words I learned in grad school or make you feel like I'm the expert on your life. You know you best.
My passion for helping others and giving back led me to a career that feels both meaningful and purposeful. My own personal experiences with trauma, anxiety, and depression give me a unique insight as a clinician — allowing me to show up for my clients with genuine empathy and understanding.
Hi my name is Ana, I'm a dedicated mental health professional specializing in comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, strategic treatment planning, and collaborative care. Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. You may be feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply wanting a safe space to process what you’ve been carrying. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Together, we can work toward helping you build resilience, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with yourself.
My name is Dr. Lentz and I have been practicing in the mental health field for over 10 years. I strive to help those acquire skills to overcome challenging situations that are tailored to a person's specific need. I am a goal oriented therapist that works diligently to achieve goals that are identified by the individual and myself. Life is full of situations that do not always have clear and definitive answers, which is a process the therapeutic approach I utilize can assist with.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Northridge
Searching for therapists in Northridge starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Northridge has a smaller local market than central Los Angeles, so nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still allowing you to work with a therapist licensed in California. You may also want to filter by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Northridge can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. From there, you can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
