I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults as they work through life's challenges. I am client-centered with a trauma-informed lens, often leaving clients feeling heard, validated, and empowered to continue reaching their goals.

As someone who has worked as a clinician embedded in a law enforcement agency, I am acutely aware of the realities of first responders and the impact the work can have on the individual and their relationships.

Looking for one-stop shopping? Meds and therapy together - I do both. Guaranteed intake appointment within 2 days! Evening and weekend hours available. A provider you can reach directly, by text. Personal responses to all messages within 24 - 48 hours, always.

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. For some clients, I provide both therapy and medication management; for other clients, I work closely with their therapists to optimize their medication experience. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering. LGBTQ-allied, polyamory-informed. All lifestyles welcome.

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.

Therapy should help you identify the ways you hold yourself back from greater peace and success. We all pick up dysfunctional patterns along the way and need help to identify and change them. I would like to help you in this process.

Therapist

I’m Kali, and I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 2007. I want to help you have the relationships you want with yourself and with others. I have an MA in Applied Behavioral Science, with a concentration in Systems Counseling. What this means for you, practically speaking, is that as I work with you, I am also thinking about all of the other people, family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, who are a part of and influential in your life, and you in theirs. I’m also thinking about the relationship you have with yourself, and how all of the parts of you, past, present and future interplay with each other and the world around you. Which is a long-winded way of saying I want to help you have the relationship you want with yourself and with others. I want you to find happiness, joy and health. I'd like to help you identify and meet your goals, and I am a warm, supportive presence whether or not you have any idea as to what your goals might be.

Therapist

Welcome to Couples Therapy! Are you having the same argument over and over? Did your relationship experience betrayal and loss of trust? Or are you simply living as roommates or logistical partners who run a family, bussing kids across various sports/schools events, with little to no passion toward each other? I am here to help! I work with couples to identify the patterns that block connection and to rediscover the emotional bond that brought you two together. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where both of you feel heard, respected, and understood. Change begins when we learn to understand - not fix - each other.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Bernardino

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in San Bernardino starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or the stress that can come with navigating bias and discrimination, a provider with experience in LGBTQIA+ care can make a meaningful difference. Licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training — and many providers in San Bernardino specialize in approaches like affirmative therapy, CBT, and trauma-informed care.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the San Bernardino area or virtual appointments, which can expand your options across California. Look for a provider whose schedule works with yours and whose bio gives you a clear sense of their style and approach. A free phone consultation can help you decide if a provider is the right match before you commit to a session.

Therapy in San Bernardino can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
