Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 26 years of working as a mental health professional, one important lesson I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is found in the interpersonal experience that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning to achieve healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.
Hello and welcome! I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples who face obstacles with sexual health, intimacy, mood disorders, communication, disabilities and life stressors. Sexual health can be impacted by a variety of issues from anxiety, depression, mismatched libidos, lack of education and understanding, orientation, identity and society. My knowledge is quite diverse, as are the clients I work with. I use anecdotal stories to engage with and connect to my clients. I look forward to meeting you!
Let's start wherever you are. Stressed? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Unmotivated? Feel like you're faking it through life? I'm with you. I welcome you to be heard, to let down and rest. I support you in working through past events, discovering your true self, and learning new skills to empower you. I work with individuals in person in my cozy office in Pasadena.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals and couples navigate life’s more difficult and complex experiences. I specialize in supporting patients in understanding how past experiences impact present-day challenges, so they can move toward a more fulfilling, authentic, and connected life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Whittier
Searching for therapists in Whittier starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to focus on in care. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
In a smaller city like Whittier, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and session format. You may find in-person therapy near areas like Uptown, Midwick, or Friendly Hills, while virtual appointments can give you access to more California therapists who fit your preferences. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, experience, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Whittier can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
