I am a board certified, doctoral prepared PMHNP. I completed my post graduate at National University in Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I earned my DNP from Azusa Pacific University and graduated from CSUSB MSN program. I have been a faculty at CSUSB since 2014. Extensively trained and a certified Trauma-Informed specialist.

Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.
I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.
At the core of my work is this belief:
You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.
If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life change and wishing to feel heard? I support children, adolescents, adults, and families, with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. In English and Spanish, I help clients work through emotional overwhelm, family stress, ADHD, addiction, anger, and difficult experiences.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I will listen without judgment and work alongside you. Together, we can understand what feels difficult, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
I help individuals struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, and addiction. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in painful cycles around food, substances, relationships, or self-worth.
Hello,
I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.
Great to meet you! Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health can feel overwhelming, so I'm glad you're here. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 1 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach your goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Hunter School of Social Work and have lived and practiced in California for over three decades. My professional background includes extensive work with older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, and adults living with severe and persistent mental illness. I am known for my patient, compassionate, and attentive approach, and I strive to be fully engaged and present with every client I serve. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized support that helps clients feel understood and empowered in their therapeutic journey.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who believes meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward lasting change.
I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have completed Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, along with specialized training in Treating Affairs and Trauma. My clinical approach also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I work with adults, couples, and first responders experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in supporting law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other public safety professionals navigating the unique demands of high-stress careers, cumulative stress, relationships, and work-life balance.
I also enjoy helping couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, navigate conflict, and work through concerns involving trust and infidelity.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients recognize patterns, build useful skills, and make meaningful changes while tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs, experiences, and strengths.
Hi! I'm Rikki. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with dual master's degrees and over eight years of experience working in community mental health, private practice, and forensic settings. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, anger management, sexual concerns, identity exploration, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person I work with. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, challenged when it's helpful, and supported as we work together to better understand what's getting in the way and build practical strategies that fit your life.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Nina, a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping people feel better and live more fulfilling lives. I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and offer services in both English and Spanish. My goal is to support your well-being by helping you build skills, navigate challenges, and create healthier, more meaningful relationships.
If you’re a woman or mother trying to hold it all together through the messy, beautiful realities of life’s changes, you’ve found a safe place to land. I specialize in supporting women and moms through maternal mental health and the big transitions that can leave you feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. Whatever you’re carrying right now, you don’t have to carry it alone.
