Hello! My name is Cody Elder. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience in primary substance use, dual diagnosis, and primary mental health treatment.

I typically work with clients who are struggling with life transitions, grief, loss of sense of purpose, and needing help in building tools to allow them to discover their own capabilities.

Hi, I’m Charles Yin, I work with Christian men and women who struggle with self-sabotaging patterns. This prevents them from feeling connected to themselves and others and from reaching their full potential. I firmly believe everyone deserves to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

The fact that you're here reading this means some part of you is seeking change and you'd like some support in making that happen - such an important step towards the life you desire!

Hello! I’m Asuka and I am here to help you create the life that you’ve always wanted for yourself. Living in a foreign country as a first-generation immigrant is both thrilling and daunting. The pressure to navigate a life without familiar guidance in a new setting can lead to feelings of frustration, challenge, and isolation. Whether you've been in the US for a short while or longer, the sense of not fully belonging can linger and impact your quality of life. Discovering your true identity, navigating challenges by yourself, and honoring your cultural roots in a foreign land is a perpetual voyage.

My name is Andrew Jones, and I am a licensed Therapist (LMFT) in California. You can take a look at my profile to learn a little bit more about my background, education, experience and therapeutic approach. Online counseling is fairly new, and I've found it to be really just as effective therapeutically when applied in a personal way, that is by video face to face contact. My counseling style is engaging and inclusive. That is, I am aware of the fact that we all have flaws that require professional intervention.

"Life is difficult. . . a series of problems." Scott Peck wrote in Roadless Traveled. I can't describe it any better, but there are so many possibilities, changes that can happen when you take a step of courage. Therapy is a good way for some self reflection, to face the challenges, accept it and be at a better place. I believe that challenges are opportunities, for growth and strength; you can't do this alone, social psychology says. Let me help, to provide a safe place for connection and empathy to take that step, explore what may be holding you down and how you can be free and to live the best that you can be.

Dr. Max Doshay believes it is of utmost importance to treat all patients holistically and examine all levels of their functioning. Incorporating a variety of evidence-based assessment methods such as the WAIS IV, MMPI 3, WRAML 3, TAT, Vineland Adaptive Scales, and Bender Visual Spatial Gestalt Test (and more!), Dr. Max and his team can help tailor an individualized treatment plan through Neuropsychological Evaluations that meets the patient’s specific wants and needs instead of applying a “one size fits all” therapeutic technique used by many in the mental health industry.

There are many reasons why someone chooses to explore therapy. Some want support navigating relationships at home, school, or work. Others are interested in gaining confidence in advocating for themselves and their identity. Some may be feeling stuck or want to talk through different options or choices. Others want to have a safe, nonjudgemental space to express themselves while feeling heard, understood, and accepted. Whatever your reason, I would love the opportunity to talk and see if we can discover some ways to help you feel grounded. I’m committed to honoring your unique experiences, hopes, values, expertise, and needs.

Is your relationship in trouble? Does your relationship feel dull and lifeless? Are you at the beginning of a new relationship and want to make sure this one works out? We all need to learn how to make relationships work. There are a few things you need to know. 1. All relationships go through a cycle, and one of those cycles includes conflict. Yes, conflict is supposed to happen because it helps us grow and heal. 2. All those great feelings you had at the beginning were because of hormones, and they don't last. 3. You are in this relationship because you hold the key to each other's healing. I can help create a safe environment.

Finding a therapist can be challenging because of that I am a conduit for hope and healing to you as your therapist. Therapy is a collaborative process that involves openness & receptivity founded on the desire to change for the better. It is within your reach. Sometimes life will throw a curveball and we find ourselves getting off track. That is where I step in and help you realign yourself to your true purpose in life and in the process of doing so new discoveries are made and new pathways are created. It is the stumbling upon, the revelations, the insights that help us grow and change. I am humbled to be a part of the process.

I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds. I believe therapy is a collaborative process with the overall goal to achieve healthier balance and desired goals. Life has many challenges and we can all benefit from some support and guidance during difficult times in our lives. In my practice, I have worked extensively with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I work with the insights gained in therapy so clients feel validated and accepted, in their journey to achieve the lives they want to lead.

Are you a worrier? Do your worry and anxiety seem more excessive and intense than other people you know?

Do you wish to find healing after important losses, tame your inner critic, or seek self-compassion and personal growth? You may be in pain because important family members, friends, or pets died. You feel alone, question why you are still grieving, or worry about overwhelming others with your grief. Or you may be in pain because you blame yourself for being not good enough. Our inner critics are often voices we have internalized from family, friend, or society, especially when you have had to prove yourself as a person with marginalized identities (person of color, woman, immigrant or international students, LGBTQIA+, low income).
