Hi! I'm Ava, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem, depression, and trauma in women. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology & Education from UCLA and my Master's of Marriage & Family Therapy (clinical psychology) from USC.
Women who find me often describe feeling disconnected from themselves in ways that are hard to explain.
Most are in their 20s, many of whom are Latina, navigating identity shifts and redefining who they are after major life transitions. They may have ambition, potential, and clear goals, yet still feel held back by something invisible. That “something” often goes by many names: depression, low self-worth, insecure attachment, abandonment and rejection wounds, and unresolved relational trauma from childhood.
Hi, I'm J! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and relationships across a range of settings, from community mental health to private practice. My approach is interactive, dynamic, and deeply engaged, because I believe real progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine partnership. Whether you're navigating long-standing challenges or facing something new, I'm here to help you move forward. I currently see clients via Telehealth and can't wait to connect with you!
Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience. I bring all of this and my blended family life to the table when I'm in the room with clients. They deserve the whole person.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Walnut Creek, CA
Searching for therapists in Walnut Creek starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.
Walnut Creek has local therapy options, but appointment times and in-person availability may vary by schedule, neighborhood, and commute. If nearby offices in Downtown, Northgate, or the broader East Bay area offer limited times, virtual therapy with a California-licensed therapist can expand your options. It helps to compare a few practical factors before booking, including whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that fit your calendar, provides free phone consultations, and has experience with the concerns you want to address.
Therapy in Walnut Creek 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 price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your location and specific benefits.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
