Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Palmdale, CA

Hello, I'm William Jakini, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Aurora Mental Health Services. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, insomnia, and other mental health concerns. My background in psychiatric care has taught me that every person's story is different, and effective treatment starts with understanding the individual behind the symptoms. I strive to create a supportive, respectful environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and working toward meaningful improvement.

I work with young adults and specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and codependency. My approach is compassionate, interactive, and tailored to your unique needs.

Hi, I’m Evonne! I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and accepted just as you are.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help you better understand yourself, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I’m Elba Alvarado, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in relationships — with ourselves, with others, and with the stories we carry. I hold space for people navigating the quiet weight of expectations, the complexity of identity, and the patterns that shape how we show up in the world.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Vanguard University and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and I have been providing therapy since 2018.

If you have tried therapy before without the results you hoped for, you may need a more targeted, effective approach. Over the past 15 years of my practice as a clinical psychologist, earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care has been a profound privilege. As a former instructor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a provider at the UCLA Insomnia clinic, my goal is to provide more than just a space to talk—I offer the specialized, gold-standard steps necessary to create measurable, lasting change. At my practice, YCBT Services, I focus on working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who feel stuck despite their best efforts, specifically targeting generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, panic disorders, and chronic insomnia. By addressing the underlying triggers that keep you on high alert, I am fiercely committed to helping you move beyond surface-level coping to reclaim your peace of mind.

I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

I enjoy helping clients find their innate wisdom and to grow in positive ways through therapy. My background is in traditional and integrative psychology, energy healing and spiritual development. I am committed to helping clients find tools to address issues of chronic inner and outer pain, to find balance and meaning, and to improve their quality of life and relationships. I feel grateful and humbled to be part of my clients' process of discovery and change.

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!
