Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Petaluma, CA

Some seasons of life ask more of you than you ever expected, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. I work with teens, parents, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the heavy stretches that come with big life transitions. I care deeply about supporting LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and families who want to understand and show up for one another a little better. So much of this work is simply remembering that you do not have to carry any of it alone.

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.

I’m Daniel, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides therapy in both English and Mandarin. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and cultural or identity-related concerns.

My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I look forward to walking alongside you as you navigate this chapter of your life.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, certified in Spiritual Guidance and Expressive Art, with a multi-cultural background. I bring a warm, person-centered approach to my practice. I have a passion for working with older adults, especially those navigating life transitions, and I offer therapy in Farsi, Turkish, and English. My focus is on creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood.

I believe that every person is born with the capacity to live a full, meaningful, and joyful life. Through life's challenges, losses, relationships, and unexpected experiences, we can become disconnected from that sense of wholeness. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself, better understand your experiences, and move toward healing. I view therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection.

I am a bilingual and first generation Honduran American Marriage and Family Therapist who is based in California, born and raised in Los Angeles area. I received my masters at Pepperdine University and have been practicing therapy for the past 6 years. Over the past couple of years I have specialized in working with young and older adults from 18-70 years dealing with depression, anxiety and past traumas such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse. As a Latina therapist, my goal in each session is for each client to feel supported, validated and safe; acknowledging that everyone has a unique story and experience.

Life can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to help you regain clarity, stability, and a sense of control.

I’m Monika Delyser, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, culturally sensitive care for adults experiencing burnout, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep challenges.

I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and high-functioning adults who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, and focus challenges. Many of my clients appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck.

Who I’m a Good Fit For: busy professionals under pressure, entrepreneurs and high performers, college and graduate students, adults seeking structured, goal-oriented care.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I desire to empower clients to process, challenge, and rethink about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The primary focus of treatment is to ignite hope, strength, and resilience. I provide both Christian-based therapy services and secular therapy services.

I look forward to talking with you about what needs to change in order for you to have the life you want & deserve. I believe most of our problems are usually short-term issues.

I am warm, kind, and believe in partnering with my clients so they can achieve their goals. My approach is both compassionate and professional, and I am dedicated to supporting my clients with confidentiality and respect.

I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, past hurts, and life transitions that can feel overwhelming to carry alone. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to offer a supportive, welcoming space where you feel heard and understood as we work toward greater peace, confidence, and connection in your life.

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.
