I know how overwhelming it can feel to search for care that fits your life, especially in the evenings or on weekends when things finally slow down. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I bring a steady, practical mindset from my years in high acuity inpatient psychiatric care to every session. My goal is to help you build coping tools that hold up in real life, not just in the therapy room. I offer evening and weekend appointments so care fits your schedule, not the other way around. I am a Psychiatric NP, and my sessions blend medication management with genuine conversation about what is going on in your life.
For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals untangle the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re feeling on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that true growth begins when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and practical — I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.
My clinical style integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Trauma-Informed Care. I also draw from strengths-based and person-centered frameworks to help clients reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or past trauma, we’ll work together to develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos and have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, healthcare, and private practice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’m deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural humility in my work.
Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and attentive. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful growth — not only in therapy, but in all areas of your life.
I believe people carry far more strength, clarity, and resilience than they often realize. My role is to help you understand the emotional patterns and internal narratives that shape your experience, so you can move through life with greater freedom and self‐trust. I’m engaged, attuned, and honest in the room — offering reflection, insight, and steady collaboration as we explore what’s happening beneath the surface. We work at a pace that feels grounded for you, creating space for real change to germinate.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, including 6 years providing therapy. My goal in session is to help you feel comfortable, at ease, and able to be yourself—without judgment.
I believe that when people feel safe and supported, real growth can happen. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, and I focus on creating a space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming in—we can take it one step at a time together.
Greetings, my name is Fernando Macias, LMFT. I welcome you to take the opportunity to heal and find helpful solutions to your day to day issues, and to the most complex of situations. Life is not easy, however it can be a very exciting ride.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over three years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and deeply personal. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
I specialize in medication management combined with brief therapeutic support. I believe in educating my clients, so they feel empowered to make informed decisions about their care. Whether you are starting medication for the first time or looking to fine-tune an existing regimen, I provide a safe, supportive space where you are heard and respected.
I am licensed in California and Arizona and offer secure telehealth sessions that fit your schedule, including evening and weekend availability.
My goal is simple: to help you feel balanced, confident, and in control of your mental health.
