Are you interested in finding your life purpose? Sometimes not being on your life path may feel like you're treading water. Or perhaps, you feel depressed - a void inside that leaves you feeling hopeless and alone. If you're feeling anxious - you may be miserable with extreme panic attacks or the inability to focus on family and work. I help you learn skills to find the origins of these feelings, clear them and develop the life you dream of.

My name is Esther Kang. I'm a licensed clinical social worker. I seek to create a safe, caring, and supportive environment to support you through your journey of healing.

My name is Tanya Ridaura and I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with experience working alongside individuals who suffer from anxiety and depression so that together we can work on an approach that is tailored to each individual’s needs.

Through life's journey there are times that we may feel stuck as if there is a part of you that won't allow you to reach your goals?

Or are you having relationship issues with your loved ones or coworkers? There is hope.

It is my goal as a therapist to break the stigma of therapy. Some still believe that only “broken people” seek therapy and I am here to tell you that is not true! Seeking therapy is NOT a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength! We, as humans, were created for connection and expression, and the therapy room is simply a safe space for that to occur. Whether you are dealing with fear, loss, uncertainty or just need someone to talk too, I am here. There is no issue that is too big to bring in the room!

My name is Janet Rodriguez and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I like to create a space where individuals feel safe, supported, where they can be their authentic selves and find humor in life's unpredictability. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, first-generation and immigrant Americans. I enjoy working with individuals who are transitioning to parenthood, want to focus on self-confidence and self-compassion, experienced family dysfunction growing up, and are looking to understand themselves better.

Do you feel overwhelmed, not knowing how to balance your life and inner longings? Maybe you have resorted to coping skills that are no longer working or are even harming you. And maybe you are dreaming of getting your Self back by finding more meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. Sometimes a little outside guidance can shift our perspective and we can learn effective tools to help us thrive again. I love to help with: Anxiety disorders (including emetophobia), relationship solutions, women's issues, pre/postnatal concerns, women's health, peri/menopause, and parenting solutions.

Hello, pull up a chair and let's chat. I approach therapy with the belief that 1) life is full of highs & lows, 2) we aren't born with all the healthy coping tools, and 3) that with compassionate support we can grow from these experiences to level up. Our brain & body are fascinating systems and I enjoy teaching people how they contribute to our actions and feelings. I have 10+ years of experience offering individual and couples (pre-marital & marriage) counseling with emphasis on communication using an eclectic empowered approach based in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, along with different approaches.

Having a safe space to talk can help you feel validated, heard and grounded. If you are feeling stressed in life, new or past struggles, feel overwhelmed, burned out or wanting to work on your self esteem and communication, with developing skills and processing internal changes we can make improvement to find that balance and bliss in life. You do not have to go through it alone. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist working with individuals and couples that need that safe space to improve in any way. I provide therapy in English and Spanish, work with the Latino community, BIPOC, poly affirming, and the LGBTQ+ community.
