Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself. It's finding someone who will actually understand the world you're living in. I'm Pia, a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with adults and seniors through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, new and expecting mothers, and people from diverse cultural and ethnic origins who have sometimes found mainstream therapy less than welcoming. I listen closely, and I work hard to make sure you feel genuinely seen from the very first session.
I am someone who wants to support personal growth in others. Life is rough and we don't always listen to our heads and that's okay. I am someone who tries to meet clients where they are and not judge.
I am a highly skilled therapist with a strong focus on trauma therapy, substance abuse, and mental health. I hold dual licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and as an Associate Clinical Counselor. My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from William Jessup University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development from California State University, Chico.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I believe everyone has strengths that can be used to create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we work toward healing, growth, and improved well-being.
I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.
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, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.
As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It can be difficult to know if you are on the right path, have healthy relationships, and are satisfied with your life's direction. How do you feel about where you are headed? I can support your self discovery in a compassionate and understanding way. I work towards identifying one's strengths and empowering clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems and life transitions. I specialize in working with young women, new moms and couples navigating the transitional stages of family life.
Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don't have to sort through everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or a season of change, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what's been coming up for you.
I work with adults who want support feeling more balance, more connected to themselves, and better able to manage the challenges in front of them. I also support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and other meaningful life transitions.
My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and real. We'll talk through what's been difficult, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and work together toward changes that feel manageable and meaningful in your everyday life.
