I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.

Worked with a vast variety of symptoms and problems providing needed support to my clients suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem. All of these issues and symptoms have a point to make for us to understand our selves better. Working with adolescents in Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Youth Living Programs, adult and veterans of all ages, there is one common denominator - if you want your life to be better, we can find your individual path and you might become your own Master. We'll apply, or challenge, your believe system, to make positive changes.

I help my clients resolve their problems, learn coping skills, and set their spiritual and/or religious path. Increasing client's understanding of self and accepting life with all the pluses and minuses, learning from the past without the judgment might be a difficult goal to achieve.

Hi – I'm Diana, a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to adults navigating complex mental health challenges. My passion for psychiatry stems from a deep belief that every person deserves to be truly seen and understood—not reduced to a diagnosis, but honored as a whole person with unique experiences, strengths, and aspirations.

Throughout my clinical training and practice, I've developed expertise in treating conditions that often feel isolating and overwhelming: ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD, psychosis, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. I understand that many of my clients have spent years searching for providers who truly "get it"—who won't rush through appointments or offer cookie-cutter solutions that don't fit their reality.

What sets my practice apart is my commitment to building genuine therapeutic relationships. I take the time to listen deeply, understand your story, and collaborate with you on treatment goals that reflect what matters most to you. Whether you're managing one condition or multiple overlapping challenges, I approach your care with clinical expertise grounded in empathy and respect.

I recognize the extraordinary courage it takes to seek help and to keep showing up for yourself, especially when living with mental health conditions that others may not fully understand. My role is to walk alongside you as a partner in your healing journey—offering evidence-based treatment, honest communication, and unwavering support as we work toward the stability, peace, and quality of life you deserve.

Mental health care should feel like hope, not another burden. I'm here to provide exactly that.

Hello! I'm Keeley Estrada, LMFT. I am passionate about supporting my clients in connecting with themselves and what truly matters to them. I understand the importance of having a therapist who gets you and what you are going through.

I completed my masters in marriage and family therapy at USC and bachelors in psychology at SJSU. I have experience working in all levels of care including private practice, community mental health agencies, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization.

Support throughout life, especially during life transitions, is critical yet often hard to find. Family and friends may be unavailable or simply not understand. Furthermore, guilt, shame and overwhelm can complicate navigating transitions, whether due to a significant loss, medical diagnosis, new beginnings or a host of other reasons.

I am a licensed mental health therapist who is well versed in providing support to diverse individuals working through life transitions including the immense pain and harsh reality that grief and loss can bring. I am also a trained perinatal mental health therapist with a passion for providing support during preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

Hi, I'm Young Lee, a PMHNP-BC based in CA. Before entering healthcare, I was a varsity soccer player and served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army — experiences that taught me what it really means to show up for people, stay the course when things get hard, and lead with purpose. Those values followed me into every patient interaction I have today.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University and my Master of Science in Nursing with a PMHNP specialization from Charles R. Drew University. My clinical background spans inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telehealth settings. I've sat with patients in crisis at 2 a.m. and walked alongside others through quiet, steady progress over months — I value both of those moments equally.

I work with adults and geriatric populations, managing conditions including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy techniques, tailored to each individual's needs and goals. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment — your story matters, and your care plan should reflect that.

I understand that seeking help takes courage — sometimes it's the hardest step in the entire process — and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or optimizing your current treatment plan, I'm here to partner with you on your journey toward wellness. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

I'm also proud to have contributed to clinical research, including co-authoring work presented at a national conference and participating in a BLS competence study at Duke University, keeping my care grounded in the latest evidence. I look forward to working with you.
