A provider you can reach directly, by text. Personal responses to all messages within 24 - 48 hours, always. Evening and weekend hours available.

Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering.

Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.

(Please note that I am no longer taking on new therapy clients, I am only accepting new clients for medication management at this time.)

Dr. Jeongmi Moon

Psychologist

Virtual • San Diego, CA


Clients : Creative field, writers, screen writers, actors, films makers.

I’m a bilingual (English/Korean) licensed clinical psychologist with over 13+ years of experience helping adults (20 and older) navigate anxiety, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, identity questions, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based techniques and a deep respect for the human spirit. I integrate therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based methods with holistic tools drawn from meditation, Eastern/Western philosophy, and positive psychology. This allows me to support you not just in coping with challenges—but in creating a more meaningful, centered life.

I especially enjoy working with creatives, professionals, and individuals exploring cultural or gender identity. Whether you’re dealing with racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, shifting roles, or inner conflict, we’ll work together to clarify what matters most to you and how to move forward with intention. Therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical—it can be a dynamic, reflective process that helps you reconnect with your values and sense of possibility.

Taking the first step can feel uncertain, but if you’re ready to talk, I’m here to listen. You deserve support that aligns with both your inner world and everyday life. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Dr. Larissa Montalvo

Psychologist

Virtual • Los Angeles, CA


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Applied Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School and a master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I provide individual therapy to adults from a culturally informed and collaborative perspective. My clinical experience includes providing individual therapy and psychological assessments to children, adolescents, and adults across community mental health and group practice settings. I work with individuals with a variety of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relational difficulties, identity challenges, stress management concerns, and cultural and ethnic issues.

Before entering the mental health field, I worked in community-based roles within the nonprofit and education sectors, including three years working with children and families in Kuwait. These experiences have strengthened my ability to connect with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and foster an accepting, adaptable therapeutic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pasadena

Finding postpartum therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may also list perinatal experience or a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal added training in pregnancy and postpartum care.

Pasadena is a smaller city, so the number of nearby therapists with postpartum experience may vary by location, schedule, and in-person availability. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially if your schedule changes week to week, you are coordinating infant care, or you are managing physical recovery. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.

Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse therapists who match your preferences, offer virtual or in-person care, and are ready to take new patients.
