Nicole Greco

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have experience providing psychotherapy in community mental health, outpatient settings, and higher levels of care, working with adults, adolescents, and families facing a wide range of mental health concerns.

Today, I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, and eating disorder recovery. My experience includes supporting clients from diverse backgrounds through both short-term and long-term therapy, helping them develop healthier coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward the life they want to build.

Therapist

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.


I'm California-licensed and offer telehealth sessions statewide, which means flexible, private care from wherever you're most comfortable. I accept Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.

Bridgit Serrano

Bridgit Serrano

Therapist

I’m an EMDR-certified therapist with additional certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I know that finding the right therapist is difficult. Especially when trauma and previous pain tells you you are alone, you are judged, and you are always unsafe. Though fear would like you to believe you are better off doing this on your own, you know it’s not true. To heal, we must feel seen and understood, with support and guidance. This is truly my passion and I love connecting with my clients and helping them meet their specific goals.

I have over ten years of working in mental health settings, including in leadership. I am confident and unafraid in walking through pain and unique “problems” with my clients. I have helped many find relief from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depressive symptoms, PTSD, relationship problems, and destructive ways of coping such as substance use.
