Hi! My name is Rachel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I’m here to start with where you are at. We will work collaboratively to help you heal from past hurts and the negative scripts that are running your show. I offer a non judgmental space for you to come, slow down, breathe and just be. My approach includes EMDR, Somatic Therapy and a values- based approach that helps you handle tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
I offer a supportive, affirming space where clients can show up authentically. I guide individuals in rediscovering themselves and taking meaningful steps toward a more purposeful and aligned life.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than you should on your own, you’re not alone. You can receive support for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life challenges in a safe, trauma-informed space with a focus on helping you feel more in control, grounded, and confident in your daily life. Sessions are offered in both Persian and English, with a deep understanding of immigrant experiences, cultural identity, and individual differences. Care is thoughtful, culturally sensitive, and grounded in respect for who you are and where you come from. I'm a licensed psychologist, well- experienced in mental health related issues. I provide an empathic, collaborative, and evidence-based approach tailored to each client's needs and goals. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, insight-oriented strategies to help clients better understand themselves, improved emotional well-being, and create meaningful change. I work with adults from diverse cultural background and value creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. As a bilingual psychologist, enjoy supporting clients navigating cultural identity, immigration-related stress, life dynamics, and balancing multiple roles and expectations.
I have over 30 years of clinical, counseling and administrative experience working with individuals and couples, addressing the unique issues related to their unique life experiences. I have extensive professional and personal experience with military families and veterans. I understand first-hand the struggles of grief and medical conditions that impact all aspects of life. I have supported chronically and terminally ill patients, individuals living with cancer or chronic medical diagnoses, as well as parents experiencing infertility, peripartum, and postpartum depression. Whether dealing with life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, or divorce, or simply seeking to express yourself and feel more confident, I am here to walk with you, provide insights, and support you toward lasting change.
Hi, I’m Angela Phillips, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Lotus Healing and Wellness. I help teens and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions through trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming therapy, with a special commitment to supporting women and the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live as their truest, most authentic self. I also believe we all have the capacity to transform our lives, though sometimes we need support, guidance, and a safe space to begin that process. I know what it feels like to believe you have to hide parts of yourself or become someone else in order to be loved or accepted, and that understanding deeply shapes the way I show up as a therapist.
My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal the patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you, and create a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and emotionally fulfilling.
Hello, my name is Leslie Rozner and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master's from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for 6 years. I have worked with incarcerated and probation involved adolescents and families for 16 years in residential settings and in the community. My style is warm, authentic, humorous, and compassionate.
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.
I am a licensed psychotherapist, coach and consultant dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve greater emotional well-being. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or simply seeking personal growth, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a meaningful way. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life that feels fulfilling, balanced, and authentic, and I’m here to help you get there. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to face it alone.
