Silviana Capra

Therapist

Virtual • California


My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

I work with adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. I best serve those who are ready to unearth the uncomfortable. Those who have felt stuck and just need the tools and a safe space to connect back to themselves. Those who have a desire to intentionally sit with the things that are sticky, so that it can stop ruling their life and they can take the reins. Is this you? This work is hard. If you’re ready to face it in a safe way, I’m the person for you.

Josiah Peratoner

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing via telehealth across California. My work centers on three communities I care deeply about: veterans navigating the often-invisible work of coming home, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking for a therapist who genuinely gets it, and parents who are doing their best while carrying more than they show. I'm Transgender Allied, trained in trauma-informed and multicultural frameworks, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Before anything else, I work hard to make sure you feel like yourself in the session — not a diagnosis, not a file.

Oghenesume Umugbe

Oghenesume Umugbe

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Rancho Cucamonga, CA


Hi, I'm Dr. Umugbe — and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're going through.

I'm a board-certified General, Child, and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate some of the most challenging mental health conditions out there — psychotic disorders, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and more. I see patients via telehealth and also offer in-person visits in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Two decades in this field has taught me one thing above everything else: the best care starts with truly knowing the person in front of you. Not just their diagnosis — their story, their symptoms, how long they've been carrying this, and how it's affecting their daily life. That's always where I begin.
