The time is now to make the change! I have worked with a diverse range of clients from all walks of life. Life is not easy for any of us and there are times in our lives when we need some support - a listening ear, an objective perspective, a place to just be ourselves. My goal is to help you get a sense of control and strength back in your life and to help you get to where you would like to be.

Taking time to care for our mental health is often not on the top of our priority list. Making sure you are mentally healthy and able to take on life's challenges, allows the space to enjoy what life has to offer. In my practice I work with clients to rebuild a healthy mind and provide tools they can use for the rest of their lives. I look forward to meeting you!

Life can move us to knock on new doors for help along our journey. Seeking therapy is a chance to face internal battles and transform. It is taking a step in hope toward a better future. Change which can prove elusive when we go it alone. As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe & welcoming place where you can develop self-awareness. A compassionate hand that will support & empower you. Guidance to understand & master self-defeating patterns. Using an integrated approach attuned to the mind, body, & emotions, we will help you overcome internal obstacles that thwart you.

"Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially if they've never had to walk your path." Zig Ziglar. In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment. I assist you by providing a non-biased perspective and together we develop goals that are reasonable and achievable. As a mental health professional, I have had the remarkable opportunity over the last 15 years to work with diverse populations and a wide range of clients which include infants, children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

My name is Elva Lopez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Ventura, California and working with clients statewide via tele health. I am passionate about supporting all of my clients through challenges to experience healing and growth in their lives. I found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, grief, and stress.

My name is Dr. Ike Kerhulas. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a collaborative approach to treatment. My focus of practice includes trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling, family dynamics, adolescents, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My approach to providing therapy is to look at my clients through a trauma lens. My therapy utilizes trauma-focused sessions, understanding attachment styles, and being active in sessions by offering feedback. I also utilize psychoeducation.

My name is Elisa Padilla and I'm an LCSW. I understand the vulnerability required to ask for support and for this reason, I approach therapy with a deep sense of kindness, openness, compassion, humility, and respect. I create a space to address the heaviness that being human can entail because I also see the light and freedom that can be cultivated when we are brave enough to address our emotional wounds. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, self-worth/self-esteem issues, life transitions/adjustments (e.g., role change, relocation), grief/loss (e.g., divorce, death of loved one) and care giver burn out.

This is my offering for you. The conversations that happen in this space and time together is your offering to yourself.

I enjoy using different evidence-based models. However, I am aware of the importance of tailoring my treatment modalities to meet the specific needs of each individual. Together we will focus on breaking unhelpful pattens that hinder growth and quality of life. In unity, I will teach you how to cope, regulate and develop healthier ways to manage problems, and add more meaning to your life.

While my therapeutic roots are grounded in Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychosynthesis, I draw also from current ideas about quantum sciences and utilize altered states of awareness - such as mindfulness, meditation, and energy work, as well as the wisdom and practice of Native American traditions- to help each person find what works for their unique circumstance - so that they may experience a deeper connection to themselves and to the world around them.

I'm a bilingual mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals, families, and couples navigate life's challenges. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can express their thoughts and feelings freely. As a therapist, I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and strive to create a welcoming environment for individuals from diverse backgrounds. My experience and interest include working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples who are struggling with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about supporting my clients during life's challenging moments. I typically work with parents and caregivers with children birth to five as well as with moms prenatal and postpartum. My background is working with children ages birth to ten. I also work with single mothers in divorce recovery and those who are in life transitions such as career changes, college decisions. My clients may also be experiencing grief and bereavement losing a loved one or a family pet.

Hi, I'm Sarah Thomas, LMFT. I serve as a soul-centered therapist, and I hold space for you in my sessions for you to clear the emotional residue that is keeping you stuck in patterns of insecurity and pain. I will encourage you to tap into your truth and develop self-love where you once held shame so you may take steps into spaces of truth and authenticity in life, love, and relationships.

Hello, I'm M. Cristina Solanet, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I specialize in providing comprehensive therapeutic services to the clients I work with. My approach to treatment is to foster and build a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide support to individuals, in their journey towards emotional well-being.

I typically work with people with a history of trauma or mental health difficulties, particularly women, adolescents, and young adults. More specifically, I have experience working with women who have experienced gender-based or intimate partner violence and adolescents, adults, and families coping with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, amongst more severe illnesses. Whether it's a life transition, unhealthy relationship, past trauma, or some other triggering event leading to pain and discomfort, I help empower my clients to find the strength within themselves to overcome their challenges.

My name is Viti Golomb, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Therapy works best as a collaborative, client focused, nurturing and supportive relationship. We will focus on healing and strengthening your relationship to yourself, which will lead to stronger, healthier personal relationships. I use cognitive behavioral therapy. We will examine thoughts that lead to pain and unproductive patterns of behavior, educate about how those thoughts cause feelings of sadness, anxiety, etc., restructure those thoughts and learned new coping skills. I also use solution focused therapy to work on future goals.

I enjoy working with people and guide them to achieve personal growth. I believe that the purpose of being human is to grow and achieve a better version of ourselves. I facilitate a comfortable and collaborative environment that will allow the client to achieve personal growth and insight, as well as resolve the struggle that brought him or her into therapy.

Contemporary society places an enormous burden upon the individual to succeed - and look good while doing it - at the same time as the fabric of our families are disintegrating and social supports are fragmented. Many of us have survived a childhood of chaos and, if we have been able to form a lasting intimate relationship, find that our partner is ill-equipped as well, to surmount the many personal, financial, social, political challenges of today's world. My approach is informed by therapeutic practices which emphasize compassion, gaining insight, and developing acceptance of one's true self.

Sometimes people need a little help in life to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and/or behavioral or physical challenges. As life can sometimes knock you down, fate has led you to my practice. I have assisted clients in managing their stress and anxiety, getting past their depression, and making behavior changes so that they can regain a sense of control. I have also assisted the physically challenged in finding new hope. Most of my clients are healthy, successful people who may simply be a bit stuck and want the support of their own personal therapist/coach to get around their challenges; some just need coping skills.
