Hi, I am Beth, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. Adoption and foster care require a different kind of heart and a specialized set of tools. With three decades of dedicated experience, I help families navigate the nuances of trauma and "blocked trust." My approach is deeply empathetic, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I provide the seasoned perspective you need to understand your child’s needs—and your own—more deeply. You don't have to do this alone.

Darla Griffith

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.9 mi away • Visalia, CA


When you’re carrying the weight of depression or the constant hum of anxiety, the last thing you need is a clinical lecture. You need a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or the pressure to perform. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the heart of the work. Over my 23 years in practice, I’ve focused on creating a space that is first and foremost human, built on a foundation of genuine connection and trust.

Natalie Mejia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Kingsburg, CA


Hi, I’m Natalie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals, couples, children, and families feel more connected, understood, and supported through life’s challenges.

Over the past 10 years working in the mental health field — including 5 years providing therapy — I’ve worked in a variety of settings providing crisis services, trauma-focused support, and ongoing therapy for individuals and families with diverse needs. These experiences have strengthened my belief that healing happens best in spaces where people feel emotionally safe, genuinely seen, and never judged.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional disconnection, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and family or parenting challenges. In couples work, I help partners better understand the patterns and cycles they can get stuck in, improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.

Saby Kirpal

Saby Kirpal

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Westlake Village, CA


I'm Saby Kirpal, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care. I hold Master's degrees from Chamberlain University and Walden University, graduating with Presidential Honors, reflecting my commitment to clinical excellence. My diverse professional background spans inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient clinics, giving me insight into mental health treatment at every level of care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders across age groups. My experience includes working with children as young as eight through adults in crisis stabilization, residential treatment, and ongoing medication management.

What makes my practice unique is the integration of my nursing background with psychiatric expertise. I understand how physical health, medications, lifestyle factors, and mental health interconnect. Being trilingual in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, with conversational Spanish, allows me to serve diverse communities and appreciate how culture shapes mental health experiences.

I've worked from UCSF Health to community clinics, teaching me that excellent care isn't about the setting—it's about the relationship. Whether you're seeking help for the first time, between providers, or managing ongoing conditions, I'm here to partner with you. My approach centers on listening first, explaining clearly, and making decisions together. Mental health treatment should never feel like something done to you, but rather something we navigate together. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and genuinely supported.
