Asking for help can feel harder when you've spent most of your life being the one who holds things together. I'm Neydi, a bilingual English and Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I work with individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and substance use. These challenges rarely arrive alone and almost always connect back to our relationships, our families, and the communities we come from. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and genuinely invested.

Dr. Lindsay Campbell

Psychologist

Virtual • Long Beach, CA


I'm a licensed clinical neuropsychologist and board-certified behavior analyst with specialized training in neuropsychology and neurodiversity-affirming care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of presenting concerns, including ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, and complex relational patterns.

My background includes extensive experience in psychological and neuropsychological assessment, helping clients better understand how their brains work and how to adapt with insight and clarity. I also work with high-achieving and twice-exceptional individuals navigating emotional depth, perfectionism, and identity.

Beyond credentials, I bring curiosity, honesty, and a strong sense of ethics into the room. Therapy with me often feels both structured and deeply personal, we're not just managing symptoms; we're making meaning.

I am dedicated to helping teens struggling with trauma and self-harm behavior.

Hi there, my name is Amber Allen, and I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). It's an honor to have you read my profile, and take the courageous step towards healing. I've been in practice since 2008, and have had the pleasure in specializing in Eating Disorders, Body Image Issues, and disordered eating patterns for over a decade. I have served as a Primary Therapist, Program Director, and Clinical Director in various Eating Disorder IOP/PHP/Residential facilities throughout Southern and Northern CA.
