I'm Amanda Stoner, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Danville, California, serving clients statewide through telehealth. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, and executive functioning. My expertise extends to relationship challenges, separation, divorce, and co-parenting. With extensive knowledge of school and special education systems, including IEP and 504 supports, I'm well-equipped to help families navigate these complexities. My background includes a B.A. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, giving me a strong foundation in human motivation and systems, and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, fueling my passion for supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the challenges of growth and development.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist,I will always lead with a client-centered curiosity, believing that each individual possess the innate capacity to become the person they want to be.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work statewide via Telehealth. I work with adults, young adults, adolescents, children, and couples. I have experience in dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, crisis support, grief and loss, and complicated grief.
Hi and welcome! My name is Dr. Andrea Che and I am a licensed psychologist in California. I am only offering virtual sessions currently.
I specialize in working with teens and adults (16 & up). I see clients who come from/identify with diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual identities, and gender identities. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, work/school stress, cultural diversity issues, intergenerational trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, to name a few. While I am passionate about working with clients on a wide range of concerns, I especially enjoy helping clients overcome social anxiety so they can manage social fears, have meaningful connections and feel more confident.
I’m passionate about helping others recognize their strengths and step into their full potential. Whether through collaboration, mentorship, or encouragement, I aim to create spaces where people feel valued, capable, and inspired to act.
I am a New Jersey native and have over 20 years of professional experience working in various clinical and supportive facilities such as Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Outpatient Treatment, State Residential Treatment Centers, Community Mental Health Clinics, Employee Assistance Programs, and Assisted Living centers.
As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns. As a military spouse, I also understand the unique challenges that military members and their families often face.
Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who truly listens, my goal is to help you feel better, function more effectively, and move forward with confidence.
Hi! I'm Hira (he-rah) and I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with you as your next (or maybe first!) therapist. I am currently licensed and accepting virtual appointments in the states of Georgia and California. As a licensed therapist/counselor, my goal is to work with struggling adults and young adults dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma in order to help them experience emotions in a more complete and effective way. When working with me, you can expect to feel heard, gain insight and perspective, and leave feeling empowered and supported.
My therapy style is centered on warmth, empathy, and inclusivity. Drawing from my extensive experience working with diverse populations, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. Everyone brings unique experiences, and my goal is to ensure that our work together honors your cultural, spiritual, and personal life story.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 13 years of experience helping people navigate the full landscape of their emotional, relational, and physical wellbeing. I work from a whole‐body framework, honoring the way the mind, nervous system, relationships, and lived experiences all shape a person’s healing.
I am a lover of strong coffee and good humor, and bring a grounded, approachable presence into the therapy room. I believe grief changes people in profound ways and not just in what we feel, but in who we become. Walking with someone as they get to know themselves again, often for the first time in a new way, is a privilege I never take lightly.
My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing is both tender and transformative. I am passionate about life, love, and the sacred process of honoring what was in order to accept what could be. I am warm, intuitive, and refreshingly real. I am someone who can hold depth while still making space for laughter.
Hi everyone,
I’m a Therapist with 11 years of experience, two Master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor’s from UC Berkeley. I specialize in helping men who are struggling with sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, or worry that’s taking over their daily life. I also work with men and women who are navigating relationships of all kinds—monogamous, polyamorous, open, or still figuring it out—and the communication challenges that come with them.
My approach is grounded in helping you understand your thought patterns, where they may be a disservice to you and how to change them in order to create behavioral change. We’ll set clear goals together and break them down into doable steps, and I’ll be here to encourage you rather than judge you if things feel hard along the way. I also make a point of highlighting the strengths you already have and reminding you of them on the days you forget. Supporting people in feeling less alone, more understood, and genuinely heard is the part of this work that brings me joy.
Please note: I don’t provide couples counseling, but I do offer individual therapy focused on relationship concerns, intimacy, and identity. I am LGBTQ+ and kink‐affirming. This is a safe space.

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.
