Lynda K. Cash, MA, LMFT (AKA; Lynda K. Martin)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Lynda K. Cash has over 17 years of clinical experience as a marriage and family therapist. Lynda has helped with individuals, couples and families gain insight and understanding regarding unhealthy/dysfunctional behavioral life patterns. Lynda is competent with facilitating plans of action for overcoming challenges with managing daily living needs and responsibilities.
I have a Master's Degree in Counseling, Marriage, and Family from Phillips Graduate Institute.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from UCSB.
I typically work with clients who have a history of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, and managing anxiety, The clients I work with are very motivated to make changes in their lives.
I worked with high-risk, traumatized, and abused youth for many years. I find practicing therapy very rewarding. Assisting my clients to work through life challenges and progress in their life journey is a privilege.
I have two graduate degrees in the field (Behavioral Medicine/Health Psychology and Professional Counseling) and am a licensed behavioral health clinician in both Texas & California. My experience includes working with individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health, substance use, and basic counseling issues. I believe we all need help at points of our life and, if we are willing to ask for it, the support and guidance can be invaluable.
With over 15 years of experience, I have helped countless individuals navigate the challenges they face and find peace within themselves. Together, we can work towards culminating a healthier and more fulfilling future.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my dogs, hiking with friends, cooking, and making flower arrangements. I also enjoy spending time doing artsy activities or attending local events.
I believe healing begins with feeling genuinely understood, supported, and accepted. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that lasting change happens when people can safely explore their experiences without judgment.
Growing up in a military family and spending decades serving as a flight medic, deputy sheriff, and firefighter taught me how deeply connection, trust, and stability shape emotional well-being, especially in environments where vulnerability can feel risky or costly. Those experiences continue to influence the way I work with clients today, creating a space where people can show up authentically and feel supported as they navigate life's challenges.
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the emotional demands of everyday life. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and build on the strengths you already possess.
I value authenticity, curiosity, and clear communication, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-informed counseling that thoughtfully integrates spiritual beliefs into the therapeutic process, recognizing that faith can be an important source of meaning, resilience, and healing.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season, working through longstanding concerns, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I am committed to helping you build resilience, increase self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
Deep listening is a gift that empowers individuals to reflect and change
Hi You can call me Dave I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist I've been practicing for eleven years I do not prescribe medication My specialization is in individual therapy, group therapy, And marriage Family therapy
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Hi! I’m Camille. Thank you for being here. For more than 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals and families across many different healthcare settings—from emergency nursing and the COVID-19 pandemic response to travel and concierge nursing, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and outpatient psychiatry. After years of living and working in major cities, including New York and Los Angeles, I eventually found my way to California’s Sierra Nevada foothills. My own experiences shape the way I connect with people. I’m a mother, a first-generation immigrant, part of a multicultural family, and a member of a rural mountain community. A meaningful part of my work is with high-achieving adults—professionals, executives, graduate students, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, and others who may appear to be doing well by every external measure while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, or simply not quite like themselves. I also understand the unique weight that can come with intergenerational expectations, cultural identity, and learning to navigate more than one world at once.
I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!
Hello! My name is Melanie Lapeyrolerie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California. I offer in-person therapy in West Los Angeles and telehealth services to clients throughout the state. I work with a diverse range of individuals, from young adults to seniors aged 18 to 71. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and alcohol and substance use disorders. To support my clients in enhancing their daily lives and overall well-being, I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness, among others.
I am open, approachable, and committed to listening carefully to your experiences without judgment. I believe that each person carries a unique story, and my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged as you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities for growth. Together, we can explore what is most important to you and work toward creating a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and aligned with your values.
My background includes earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, along with a lifelong appreciation for personal growth, nature, and the healing power of connection. Growing up learning to surf fostered a deep respect for the ocean and the lessons it offers about resilience, balance, and adapting to life's changing conditions. These experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of honoring each individual’s journey and recognizing that growth often comes through both challenge and reflection.
I’m a licensed therapist based in California specializing in trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, chronic shame, self-esteem, and attachment wounds. I work with adults who are often highly self-aware yet still feel stuck in painful emotional or relational patterns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients better understand themselves while creating meaningful change. I received my MSW from UCLA and integrate trauma-informed approaches including IFS and EMDR into my work.
I bring a wealth of experience from my work in child welfare for nearly 10 years, which has shaped me into a deeply trauma-informed practitioner. Over the years, I have supported clients of all ages and walks of life, including individuals facing complex socioeconomic stressors and diverse life circumstances. I am comfortable working with a wide range of mental health concerns, from mood disorders like anxiety and depression to more complex personality-based struggles. No matter your background or the challenge you are facing, I offer a stable, professional, and non-judgmental presence designed to help you process your experiences and move toward a healthier future.
I believe that therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate life’s transitions, stress, and anxiety. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a client-centered perspective to help you develop practical tools for your daily life. I am dedicated to working alongside you to build on your existing strengths, foster resilience, and help you create the change you are seeking. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone; I invite you to reach out so we can start this work together.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Stockton
Finding addiction therapists in Stockton starts with understanding the kind of care that matches your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse prevention, and behavioral concerns. As you compare Stockton therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to note whether a therapist coordinates with psychiatrists or other healthcare professionals.
Stockton has a range of mental health care options, but the right match also depends on practical details. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, work, or school while still helping you stay connected to care. Consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, including whether they use nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed care.
Therapy in Stockton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to search for Stockton therapy by insurance, specialty, availability, and appointment format, so you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
