Hi, I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I provide thoughtful, personalized care for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other common mental health concerns. My approach is warm, respectful, and judgment-free — I believe real healing starts with feeling heard and understood. I work closely with each client to create a treatment plan that feels supportive, practical, and tailored to their unique needs.
Hello, my name is Janet Reynoso, and I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through a variety of life challenges. Since 2011, I have worked in social services, and I became a licensed clinician in 2017. My background includes working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking, as well as providing care in ADHD clinics, group homes, and addiction treatment facilities. I have experience with both children and adults, and my recent work has focused on adults in substance use disorder treatment and providing telehealth therapy for a diverse range of mental health needs.
Welcome! As a bilingual licensed therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by providing emotional support and personalized coping tools. Whether you’re taking your first step into therapy or continuing a journey you’ve been on before, I’m committed to creating a safe space where all of your feelings and life experiences are welcome.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and work with the Spanish-speaking and LGBTQ community as well.
Growing up in Los Angeles most of my life therapy, social work, and mental health were taboo subjects. Similarly, within my Mexican culture being a Male I was expected to be strong and persevere through the trauma. However, the world doesn’t make it easy for today’s youth to succeed. But if I can do it, so can you! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I aim to reinforce your youth’s resilience to face their anxiety, depression, process their traumas, and more to help reach their goals.
Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes meaningful change begins with a genuine therapeutic relationship. I value authenticity, curiosity, and creating a space where clients feel respected and accepted for who they are. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate life's challenges and discover their own resilience.
My goal with therapy is to provide a safe and open space to process and prioritize a growth mindset. I tailor my therapeutic approach to best match the needs of the client and truly believe in promoting acceptance. Some modalities I have experience with and may incorporate into therapy are Acceptance Compassion Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Here-and-now Counseling, Trauma-Informed, and Holistic. I have a passion for working with individuals who are looking to unpack complex emotions and experiences that have shaped their understanding of the world.
I am a mental health clinician who takes a solution‐focused and empowering approach to therapy. I believe healing happens at your pace, and I strive to meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood as we work together to explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
Deep listening is a gift that empowers individuals to reflect and change
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the past several years supporting adults in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and significant life challenges in high-acuity clinical settings. Building genuine, lasting therapeutic rapport has always been at the heart of my work, and I am now channeling that dedication and clinical experience into my own private practice. I am proud to be newly independently licensed and am actively welcoming new clients via telehealth throughout California. My goal is to provide personalized, compassionate care that genuinely meets you where you are.
