I am here and ready to help you move past your past. I am currently seeing clients entirely through telehealth. I believe your mind and body has what it needs to heal, sometimes it just needs a little guidance.

Talia Kokonian

Life moments can be challenging and it can be difficult to carry the stress on our own. As someone who has experience working with many populations, such as the LGBTQ+ and Latino/x populations, along with people in crisis, my approach to therapy is to provide a safe space. During sessions, I utilize aspects of art therapy and person centered therapy. I am here for you. Additionally, I am supervised by Dr. Pamela Reeves and I am available to see clients through telehealth.

Dr. Melanie Gonzalez

I enjoy working with motivated clients who are ready to start work immediately! I strive to empower my clients to be unapologetically themselves. I enjoy working with BIPOC identified individuals and relationships and navigating social justice issues and offering support in processing racial trauma. I find working with medical, emotional, and physical trauma processing one of my strengths. I also love working with the queer and gender diverse communities.

Being alive in the 21st century is wild. Navigating a complex, relentlessly changing world and overlapping systems of oppression can be a confusing, isolating challenge. You know your struggles and deserve a safe place to explore them with authenticity, empathy, and validation. My warm, genuine, and collaborative approach provides a space to learn more about yourself, address your concerns, and develop self-compassionate coping skills in line with your values.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Hopeless? Scared? Stuck? Do you feel like your world is spinning out of control? Do you wish the chaos would stop? What would it be like to not feel that way? Sometimes past hurts affect present relationships. Sometimes what you know in your head doesn't match what you feel in your heart. Sometimes multiple stressors can overwhelm you. And sometimes we just need a tune-up for our lives.

Abigail Colyer

I work with individuals who want to look inward, explore what is important to them, and learn tools to overcome anxiety, pain, addiction, and trauma, and strive to build a therapeutic alliance based on trust, authenticity, warmth, and ease. Through trust and a strong alliance, I empower my clients to engage with helpful coping skills, improve their relationships, and increase self awareness/compassion to overcome challenges and find peace.

Francine Way

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.

Jennifer Hamrock

I work collaboratively with my clients to find out what works for them and their situation. I am an integrative therapist, tailoring approaches to fit each client’s needs. Although asking for help can be difficult, know that I will be there to support your journey from the very first phone call all the way through to your discharge session. Together we can uncover underlying reasons for behaviors and emotions and address those to learn healthier, more productive, and beneficial ways.

Janet Park

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you find yourself feeling different emotions and not knowing why? Are you struggling with issues in your relationships? Often we may find ourselves playing out the same, unhelpful patterns in different areas of our lives. I strive to bring light into these areas and help you come to a better understanding of yourself. I also work with you to explore changes that will help you to live your authentic life and bring you into alignment with your truest self.

Jessica Sardas

The individuals and couples I see are usually creative folks from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. I welcome all genders, races, sexual orientations, and/or relationship styles. Most are looking for greater self-actualization, and many struggle with anxiety, quality of relationships, intimacy, depression, history of trauma, familial conflict, creativity, life transitions, and career issues. I also enjoy working with parent/child dyads, siblings, even friends who seek help in relationship.

Kailey Hockridge

I thrive in my work with creative, high-achieving adults who are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-compassion and self-esteem. My clients often step into therapy when they're experiencing increased stress or anxiety, are finding it difficult to cope with personal or professional burnout, or are struggling to show up fully and authentically in their relationships. Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes a collaborative space where you feel seen, valued, and supported.

Sarah Segal

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

Therapy On Fig

You are an individual adult and a couple who are highly sensitive empaths and neurodiverse. As creatives and high-achieving professionals, you desire to heal from your childhood attachment injuries and build safe, connected, and meaningful relationships. You've experienced grief and loss, encountered massive life transitions, and carried various obvious and not-so-obvious marginalized identities. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is worth investing in.

Ariel Rosenbloom

You're in your 20s or 30s, and while on the outside you seem to have it all together, on the inside you feel broken. You prioritize others' needs over your own, leading to resentment, burnout, and disconnection. You’ve had relationships and experiences in your past that make you feel lonely, defective, ashamed, and unworthy. You're an expert at intellectualizing your problems, but struggle to connect to your body and emotions. You want to feel in control and take back power over your life.

John Sloan

They come from all walks of life. Many struggle with grief and loss--of a loved one, or of a cherished idea of how life was meant to be. Some feel at war with themselves; the survival strategies of the past--once so vital--no longer serve them, leading to depression, anxiety, and diminished relationships. They are in a bind: longing to connect but frightened, with good reason, of the vulnerability that makes connection possible. I help them move in the direction of growth and deeper connection.

I provide a nurturing, compassionate space to empower teens, adults, and couples to break cycles, heal wounds, and explore and expand into who they want to be in the world. Anything you're struggling with makes sense to me - it isn't something you're doing wrong, or something that's bad about you.

Dr. Alexus Martinez

I strive to create a safe and affirming space for clients to engage and connect with their whole self. I am passionate about working with individuals, partners, young adults and the LGBTQIA+ community struggling with libido, erectile issues, self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, desire discrepancy, infidelity, intimacy, gender identity, and sexual orientation. My ideal clients are ready to fully show up and claim their pleasure.

Stephanie Harimoto

My clients have relational wounds that need deep care. They live with emotional pain and are tired of the lasting symptoms of trauma that impact their life. Many clients who grew up religious & have left (or are leaving) their faith are particularly drawn to me and my work. I also work with individuals who have identified their queerness later in life, and are unsure of what it means for their identity now.
