Fanta Ritchie

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.

I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.

My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.

More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.

In our work together, we’ll explore those experiences with curiosity and care. I’ll be there to support you in deepening your self-awareness, uncovering what’s holding you back, and making meaningful changes that align with who you are and what you want.

Bianca Gabriel

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in school-based and community mental health settings, supporting children, teens, young adults, adults, and families through a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

I specialize in working with anxiety, self-esteem struggles, emotional regulation, life transitions, relationship stress, and school-related challenges. My experience working closely with youth and families has deeply shaped the way I understand emotional development, family dynamics, and the importance of feeling seen, supported, and connected.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, engaging, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy should feel human, collaborative, and supportive — not cold or overly clinical. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are while feeling safe enough to grow, heal, and better understand yourself.

Therapist

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.
