I am a bicultural, 55-year-old and very proud father of two adolescents. In this growing age of isolation and need for sincere, genuine human connection, it has never been more important to regain our sense of control and serenity. The foundation of our work together is based on restoring this basic human need. I believe the answers lie in the path itself, not just in reaching the destination. Together, we will learn to welcome challenges as opportunities.

I specialize in helping children, families, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, and men's mental health. I work with clients from infants and toddlers through adults, which means I can support the whole family, not just one person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and I won't treat you like a checklist. The work I do is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you direct your life, not just understand it.

I am a LCSW. My background includes working in the prison system, medical social work, school social work and the foster care system. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ people, veterans, trauma victims, first responders, and survivors of domestic abuse.

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I believe healing begins through connection, and I strive to build a therapeutic relationship that helps you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and create lasting change.

My experience spans crisis intervention, individual counseling, and a variety of therapeutic settings, giving me a broad foundation to draw from. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs, goals, and strengths.

I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing via telehealth across California. My work centers on three communities I care deeply about: veterans navigating the often-invisible work of coming home, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking for a therapist who genuinely gets it, and parents who are doing their best while carrying more than they show. I'm Transgender Allied, trained in trauma-informed and multicultural frameworks, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Before anything else, I work hard to make sure you feel like yourself in the session — not a diagnosis, not a file.

Great to meet you! You deserve a safe space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. By fostering a strong, collaborative connection, we will work on the issues that matter most to you. If you are feeling overwhelmed or are ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I am here to guide you and walk that path right alongside you.

Go beyond coping and create real, lasting change by transforming the patterns at the root. Less time circling the problem. More time transforming it.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have invested in clinical training as a graduate professor for the past 11 years, helping students move through their education into their careers. In addition to serving as an adjunct faculty member for Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology, I also held the title of Lead Faculty and Faculty Advisor for the University of Phoenix, providing expertise in clinical supervision, assessment, and treatment planning.

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re already carrying a lot. My goal is to offer a space where you can take a breath, feel understood, and not have to explain or justify what you’re going through. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and couples navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and just life in general. Many of the people I work with are caring, capable, and thoughtful—yet sometimes feel misunderstood and drained by all of their responsibilities, oftentimes putting their own needs last. I can help guide you as you sort things out and move towards finding more peace and joy in your life.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and free of judgment; a place where you feel truly seen and emotionally safe. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t just help you understand why you feel the way you do; I help you build real tools to navigate it.

I earned my degree from Cal State Fullerton and have extensive experience working in addiction treatment, eating disorder recovery, and women’s issues. Supporting women is especially meaningful to me. I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate challenges related to self-worth, body image, relationships, boundaries, life transitions, and identity. I understand how trauma, societal expectations, and relational dynamics can shape how women see themselves, and I approach this work with both compassion and clarity.

Together, we focus on strengthening mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I blend insight-oriented exploration with concrete strategies, because meaningful change happens when insight meets action. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, feel more confident managing your emotions, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.

Hi! I'm andrew (Drew) Sutherland. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist focusing on helping people feel better day to day, month to month, or year to year. Do you feel like you should be enjoying life more? Do thoughts of the past or images from a future keep you from moving forward with the things you want to do? Do you feel as if you are a passenger in your life rather than the one driving action, growth, change, and happiness? I understand. I felt the same way before I began my mental health journey. I use a client centered approach and tailor my work to what you need. You are in the driver's seat. Together, we will collaboratively work to help you become what you have only imagined.
