Hi! My name is Talia Kokonian, I am currently a therapist intern, pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Life moments can be challenging and it can be difficult to carry the stress on our own. My speciality is supporting people with anxiety and ADHD, supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and supporting people that are navigating stress.

You are a young person, feeling lost feeling uncertain about your place in the world. You’re really trying to figure out what healthy relationships feel like. You want to be healthy you’re just having a tough time knowing what that actually looks like and feels like - you’ve been receiving messages about your body and your self worth from people who claim to love you or are supposed to love you. Social media, movies, friends, family – there’s so much pressure to be constantly ‘on’.

Irina Farber

I offer a safe space for your pain and heartbreak, whether you long for a deep change or want a short-term symptom relief now. I support clients who struggle with high stress and anxiety, heartbreak of grief and loss, effects of childhood, generational and relational trauma, and help couples and relationships resolve conflict, improve communication and restore trust. I support high achieving teens and high functioning adults struggling with exhaustion, burnout, perfectionism and self-doubt.

What I love about therapy is the journey, helping my clients, as they identify and enact value driven choices, accomplishing goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envision. In a welcoming, judgement free, sex-positive, affirming environment, together in partnership with you. You and I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to bring about growth and change that goes beyond relieving distress.

Sarah Farnsworth

I work psychoanalytically with patients who wish to more deeply explore and understand their internal world. Together we can create language for hidden, blocked, 'unthinkable' thoughts; name and reflect on unconscious conflicts; work through dreams; and build resilience.

Veronica Navarro

I have worked with adults and families facing life transitions, depression, domestic violence, anxiety, relationship issues, and acculturation challenges. I also help children and teens navigate peer pressure, self-esteem, and transitions. I love witnessing clients’ “aha moments” when they recognize their strengths and resilience. Everyone is an expert in their own life, and being part of your journey is a privilege.

Sabrina Fish

Do you struggle with feeling at loss with your sense of self, which affects your relationships and your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your mind constantly thinking about the what-ifs of life? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Now more than ever women are feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed about how to "manage it all" and take care of themselves. Constantly putting everyone else before you can lead to feeling burnt-out and disconnected from mind and body.

Kara London

Hello dear one. While I may not yet know your journey, I’m glad we are crossing paths. Healing is not meant to be done alone. Each of us will face anxiety, loss, disruption, disconnection, illness… these are natural to the human condition. As a world community, the unraveling is at our door: climate change, wars, and rampant inequality. In exploring these challenges, we will tap into the wells of knowledge, tools, and wisdom that reside within us and the Earth, as collaborators in your healing.

Lisa Jorgensen

I specialize in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, addiction, personality disorders, trauma/PTSD, sexual abuse, and DV. In my work and research, I have focused on the ways in which neurobiology and temperament combine with exposure to discrimination, microaggressions, violence, and other forms of societal and systemic oppression to affect mental health and wellbeing, especially as this pertains to LGBTQIAAP+ individuals.
