Therapist

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.

I'm California-licensed and offer telehealth sessions statewide, which means flexible, private care from wherever you're most comfortable. I accept Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.

Yoselin Castillo-Yip

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing since 2017. I’ve worked with children, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, family challenges, substance use, and co-occurring mental health conditions. I've supported people from many different backgrounds and at different stages of life.

I have specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International and hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I especially enjoy working with women and families through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, grief and loss, and major life changes.

I think of myself less as someone who has all the answers and more as a companion on your journey. Therapy can be a new, exciting, and sometimes scary journey and I’m happy to be your travel buddy along the way.

I’m Rachel Benjamin, and I help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges to build more authentic, connected, and empowered lives. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and barriers that have been holding you back and work toward lasting change around your strengths and values. If you are thinking about starting therapy, or returning after some time away, but feeling unsure, you’re not alone. Taking that first step can bring up a mix of emotions. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time, it likely means you’re ready to begin exploring meaningful change.

I can support you in letting go of negative self-views, reducing your levels of distress, and building a renewed sense of confidence, worth, and peace. This process is about helping you both heal and rediscover the core strengths and values that make you, you.
