Hello! I’m Eunice Virgen, a licensed clinical social worker based in Los Angeles, CA. For the last nine years, I’ve worked in public mental health programs with individuals who are living with chronic mental illnesses. For the last three years, I have been in private practice where I specialize helping women of color process life stressors, mental health problems, and generational traumas, so they can be more intentional in creating the life they desire.
Howdy! My name is Karly Trotter, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. My practice helps pre- and postpartum parents, persons with OCD and anxiety, and neurodivergent folks handle feelings of stress, executive dysfunction, intrusive thinking, and self-doubt.
Personally and professionally, I've seen how therapy can deeply change experiences of suffering. I warmly encourage you to give therapy a chance, join my women's group, or take advantage of my free yoga or meditation classes if you have financial constraints.
You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you have faced stigma, felt dismissed in the past, or worried about what a diagnosis might mean. My goal is to help you feel safe and at ease from the very first conversation.
As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.
In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.
Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.
Hi, I'm Precious! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself while learning practical tools that help you feel better, grow, and move forward.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my career in pediatric intensive care, which sparked my love for supporting people of all ages through hard times. I now work with both kids and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, mood changes, ADHD, autism, and substance use concerns.
I am Alice (XiaoRan), Zhao, I provide a safe space for you with a dose of honesty and sometimes humor. Being an Asian woman, I provide a different perspective on your counseling journey. I love to begin your self-discovery and healing process.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized mental health care across the lifespan. I earned my Master’s degree from Walden University, became board-certified in 2022, and later earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Capella University. My education and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care while always remembering that each person’s story and needs are unique.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disorders, and PTSD. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I want you to know that you are more than a diagnosis, and I am here to listen, understand, and support you throughout your journey.
Dr. Ahlers treats adults and adolescents with a wide range of psychiatric conditions including Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, ADHD, and Psychotic Disorders. Dr. Ahlers is able to provide pharmacological management and/or psychotherapy services, depending on an individual's needs.
Welcome! I'm Kerriann and I became a therapist because I love helping others to become the best version of themselves possible. My clients choose me because I'm warm, gentle, and help them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I'm a licensed therapist (LCSW-C), a board-approved supervisor, and received my MSW from the University of Maryland SSW. I have extensive training in my areas of specialty, which are grief and loss, parenting, and anxiety.
I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.
