Hi! My name is Vanessa Arreola, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW116088). I am prepared to provide you with a safe place to explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences, in order to foster resilience and cultivate a sense of inner peace. I typically work with adolescents and young adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also help clients experiencing grief and loss. It is not uncommon for me to work with clients to help bridge communicate gaps and foster/restore a healthy relationship.

Are you having relationship issues? Looking to be encouraged and challenged? Could somatic therapy like EMDR help? Do you need guidance with LGBTQ+ issues? First generation issues? Are you ready to improve your quality of life? It requires time and effort. With a collaborative and strengths-based approach, we'll work to create that change, plus learn to build healthy, secure relationships with yourself and others. We'll draw connections between your thoughts, emotions and behavior, and increase self-awareness and inner calm with effective coping and problem-solving skills. You DESERVE a balanced and peaceful life. Let’s get to work!

I strive to help my clients make desired changes in their lives. I specialize in working with groups, recovery from substance addictions, managing stress, anxiety, depression, and blocks to productivity. I incorporate art therapy for both creatively-inclined and artistically-inexperienced individuals in addition to mindfulness-based practices, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic approaches to help clients rediscover their potential, increase insight into problematic patterns, gain access to supportive resources, and establish long-lasting habits that promote self awareness and growth.

I offer a sliding scale to those in need during these hard times. Using a depth-psychodynamic approach, I work with individuals who seek direction and a deeper understanding of their inner & outer worlds. I am especially fond of working with the quarterlifers, early 20s-late 30s. Sessions may consist of: exploring childhood patterns, relationships and attachment styles; analyzing dreams; inner child and shadow work; strengthening trust in your intuition; coaching around manifesting your life goals; somatic and mindfulness exercises; and compassionate confrontation around where you are stuck or blocking the progress of your healing.

For more than 13 years, I have provided mental health services to people with severe and persistent mental health needs, such as severe depression, anxiety, panic attacks, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and substance addictions.

My name is Sarah Chance and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Monterey, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationships, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I generally treat clients seeking to create change in their lives.

I tailor my therapy to meet your individual needs and aid you in the process of healing. I do so from curiosity, a trauma-informed lens, and a client-centered orientation. It is my goal to create a safe environment in which each person can feel welcomed, understood, and accepted as their true self. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am trained in EMDR treatment for trauma-related symptoms.

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the Los Angeles area. I have 14 years providing therapy to children ages 0-18 and adults with traumas and other challenges. I am passionate about working with little ones ages 0-5 and their caregivers and help with their development. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

I enjoy helping and guiding MFT trainees in the beginning of their careers.

My name is Dr. Paul Van Zeumeren, but Dr. Paul or Dr. Z. will do given the length of my last name. Although I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I do not work with couples and families in therapy. Rather, I use the systems approach to inform individuals how familial experiences may be affecting current relationships and outlooks. I hold a Psy. D. in clinical psychology with a specialization in Family Systems/Dynamics. I held a C.A.T.C., which is a certified addiction treatment counselor while working towards my licensure and degrees, so I am a specialist in recovery from substance use disorders.

Welcome; I am excited to connect and have the opportunity to support you during this period of exploration, growth, and transition. I am Carla Johnson, and I have two decades of experience helping folks make life changes and providing counseling. I have focused on multigenerational trauma's impact on the individual, along with an emphasis on the importance of the mind, body, and spirit connection that is central to person-centered care. I have two decades of experience treating anxiety, burnout, depression, family conflict, grief, life transitions, sleep challenges, panic, stress, trauma, and women's issues.

Integrating a solutions-oriented approach, behavioral therapy, and empathy, I work with clients to create a challenging yet empowering vortex for change. In my work, one size does not fit all so creating a strong therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance. I aim to walk alongside you in the path towards finding, empowering, and affirming oneself, time and time again.

Is adjusting to your changing world too much to bear? Are you struggling to stay afloat amidst waves of grief? You are not alone. I know how challenging it is to find balance within changing circumstances, especially when accompanied by loss. Therapy with me is space and time for you. I listen as you tell your story and express your sorrow, joy, anger, lost or changing dreams, and hopes for the future. Together we reflect upon what was, fully experience what is, and explore what could be. You will feel seen, heard, and known.
