I've built my career working in adult medicine, with a deep focus on addiction and medication assisted treatment. Anxiety and depression are areas where I find this work especially rewarding. Regardless of what brings you here, I come to every session with genuine curiosity and a commitment to building real rapport. I see clients virtually, and I keep afternoon and evening hours on weekdays so scheduling can work around your life. Strong patient retention has always been a hallmark of how I practice, and I look forward to building that same kind of relationship with you.

Hi my name is Ana, I'm a dedicated mental health professional specializing in comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, strategic treatment planning, and collaborative care. Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. You may be feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply wanting a safe space to process what you’ve been carrying. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Together, we can work toward helping you build resilience, improve emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with yourself.

Youa Lee

Youa Lee

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes deeply in people’s capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where my training emphasized on relational, trauma-informed, and socially conscious care. These are all values that continue to guide my work today.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma; including childhood wounds, relational trauma, and complex PTSD. Often these experiences leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. You may feel stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but no longer served you. My goal is to offer a space where you don’t have to carry those experiences alone, where you can gain insight into what may be standing between you and the life you imagine, and begin to reconnect with the strengths that have always been within you.

Sara McDaniel

Therapist

Virtual • California


There's a version of getting through life that looks completely fine from the outside and feels exhausting on the inside. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are carrying more than it shows: anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, major life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating in ways that are hard to explain. I have a particular focus on trauma and attachment wounds and work with many clients who've spent years managing symptoms without ever addressing what's underneath them. My practice is warm and genuinely collaborative. I'll show up as a real partner in your growth, not a distant presence behind a notepad.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or a significant life transition? Perhaps you’re noticing recurring patterns in your relationships, struggling with self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from yourself despite your efforts to move forward. Genuine connection, recognition, and attunement are central to my approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change develops through a collaborative relationship in which you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respected.

I’m Erica, a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), bringing over 20 years of experience in mental health treatment and wellness, including extensive clinical work in inpatient psychiatric care, intensive outpatient treatment, and psychotherapy. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. As a former athlete, I also work with athletes facing performance anxiety, perfectionism, and identity concerns. I welcome individuals seeking practical strategies for managing symptoms, as well as those interested in developing a deeper understanding of their emotional experiences, relationships, and sense of self. I provide online psychotherapy throughout California, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Orange County, and San Diego. My work integrates evidence-based treatment, relational attunement, and a whole-person perspective, with care tailored to your individual needs, circumstances, and goals.
