Destinee Walden

Therapist

Virtual • California


Seeking support is a brave and meaningful step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. Grounded in trauma-informed care and the healing power of connection, I walk alongside clients with warmth and curiosity as they rediscover safety, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both personal and professional experiences that deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the importance of meaningful support. I’ve worked with diverse populations in various settings where my focus was on supporting healing through a trauma-informed lens. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from Baylor University, where I completed the clinical track and earned a certificate in trauma-informed care.

I provide therapy for adults, teens, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, mood disorders, and complex relationship dynamics. In addition to individual work, I support parents and co-parents in strengthening communication and collaboration to promote healthier family systems.

Olivia Miller

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.

Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Santa Clara

Searching for therapists in Santa Clara starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Santa Clara, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Santa Clara can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who take insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs after your benefits are checked, and book directly when you find a fit. You can browse therapists in Santa Clara, review bios, and choose virtual or in-person care when you’re ready.
