Maryana Helu

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Maryana Helu and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have been licensed since 2016, with a Master's in Marital and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University.

My work centers on adults whose childhood experiences resurface in their partner, parenting, or work relationships. What shows up as depression, anxiety, or stress in your day-to-day life often has roots that go back what you learned about relationships as a child. Traumatic childhood experiences have a way of coming up in the present, especially when you are under a lot of pressure or stress.

My goal is to help you process what is coming up at the source, not just manage the symptoms. My practice is telehealth-based and serves clients throughout California.

I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the South Bay area of California, and I work with clients virtually. Before starting my own practice, I spent two and a half years at a residential treatment program working with adolescents and their families, using individual, family, and group therapy to support teens through some of their hardest moments. Earlier in my career, I worked in community mental health, where I supported a wide range of clients, including couples, children in elementary school through an art therapy partnership program, and adults of all ages. As I grow my private practice, I'm looking to work with a broader range of populations and case types than I did in my previous roles.

Aimie French

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Aimie. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My background is unique in that it combines traditional psychotherapy with years of behavioral training, allowing me to understand not only why people think and feel the way they do, but also how those patterns show up in everyday life.

Throughout my career, I've worked extensively with individuals with anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, perfectionism, and life transitions. I also have specialized training in couples therapy and have spent many years supporting children and families navigating neurodiversity.

I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation with someone who truly understands you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting change.
