Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Petaluma, CA

Please note: I work with adults 40-64 on a case-by-case basis.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of experience in California, I specialize in supporting young adults aged 18-35 through life’s transitions and challenges with clarity and confidence.

I believe you can discover the root of your struggles and are capable of overcoming hardships. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, or issues with motivation, self-esteem, or confidence, I’m here to help.

Taking the first step toward change can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an act of courage and self-care.

My style is warm, direct, honest, and rooted in compassion.

Your journey is unique, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

Hi, I'm Aviva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can become difficult when stress, burnout, relationship problems, body image concerns, or past experiences begin to affect your daily life. Sometimes people seek therapy because they are exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe in working together to create solutions that will give a different perspective or a way to break patterns that no longer work for them. I have experience with patterns that no longer suit you and have learned methods to work through them.

Hello, and welcome to my profile.

My name is Adriana and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with my masters in Social Work. I’m a Bay Area native, and a first-generation Mexican American woman. I have several years of experience working with children and families. From counseling San Francisco high school students, to working with the superior court mediating high-conflict co-parenting issues. I feel most passionate about working with youth and families. Additionally, I have over 20 years of social work experience and have completed various trainings on working with diverse populations to further my skill set and provide quality services to my clients.

I have been practicing for 40 + years, in the Southbay, Torrance area. I am a psychologist with a Ph.D. I specialize with young children, adolescence. I also work with couples, families and am practized in depression, anxiety, psychosis, and divorce. I utalize cognitive/behavioral and psychdynamic therapies. I match my approach to the personality and needs of thebpatient.

I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience providing specialized, confidential telehealth. My practice is built to support ambitious individuals—including busy professionals and dedicated college students—navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Because your schedule is already packed with work or demanding coursework, I offer dedicated session times outside standard hours, including early mornings and weekends. Whether you are dealing with academic/professional burnout, family-of-origin issues, or deep emotional blocks, I provide a warm, inclusive space to unburden those patterns. I practice fluidly in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, honoring your unique cultural or bicultural lived experience.
