Hello, I'm Felicia, LCSW. I've been in the mental health field for over 15 years and I truly have to say therapeutic healing is my passion. I primarily focus on children, teens, young adults, and women to build their self-esteem and overcome the hardship of living with anxiety & depression. Working together, we can build on healthy ways of coping with life stressors and find ways to achieve emotional goals. I will use a client-centered approach to bring the power of healing back into your hands
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I currently work remotely in California. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and I have been licensed in Marriage & Family Therapy since 2008. I spent the first half of my career in public service, specifically working in the nonprofit sector and on the county level in Los Angeles, Orange and Monterey Counties. I started my private practice in 2012, and since that time I've worked primarily with individual adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms, mood dysregulation (anxiety, depression), and relational challenges (codependence, narcissism, attachment issues, fractured family of origin).
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself lately? Between work, school, family, and relationships, life can pile up quickly—leaving you overthinking, losing sleep, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to change. I help individuals reduce stress, improve communication, and rebuild confidence so they can feel calmer, more grounded, and move forward with clarity.
It is okay to not be okay! Whether it be depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, sexuality or life transitions, we can create a space for healing to begin.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. For ten years I have provided individual, family, and group therapy in hospital settings, residential treatment centers, and outpatient treatment centers.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I’m Robin Daughenbaugh, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of social work experience in both public and private sectors. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with adults from all walks of life, helping them navigate the challenges that life can bring.

Hello! I'm Bree Martin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #163961) with over eight years of behavioral health experience, including four years as a substance use counselor before becoming an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
Throughout my career, I've worked with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. My background includes substance use treatment, community mental health, and crisis intervention, where I gained extensive experience helping individuals navigate recovery, co-occurring mental health concerns, and some of life's most difficult moments.
I believe therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, working toward recovery, processing past experiences, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Seeking support takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where healing and growth can happen.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California
Searching for therapists in California means choosing from a wide and varied mental health care landscape. Available therapists and areas of focus can differ across urban, suburban, and rural parts of the state, so it helps to start with what you want support for. You might look for a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. From there, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy style, and background to see whether their training matches what you want from care.
Location and format also shape your search. In Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and other parts of California, you may find therapists who offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule fit or access outside their immediate area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.
The cost of therapy in California varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find California therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may take your insurance. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
