Book with me now by clicking on my website. Are you seeking support to navigate life's challenges? Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply going through a difficult time, I'm here to offer compassionate and understanding care every step of the way. My passion lies in helping you identify and explore the narratives and stories absorbed from childhood experiences and culture—whether from parents, caregivers, family, teachers, or media—and determining if they still align with what truly matters to you today.

Hello! I'm Andrea Irvine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who provides therapy to adults throughout California. Life changes and challenges may affect our overall well-being, sense of self, relationships, and work and it's not uncommon to feel stuck. Sometimes we need extra support to navigate through our experiences. I believe therapy can be an important resource and an opportunity to making positive long-term changes in your life. I am committed to providing a compassionate and collaborative space where we can explore your concerns and discover the tools that are meaningful for your healing and personal journey to wellness.

Thank you for taking the first step and being here. Are you experiencing hurdles in life such as work stress, family issues, or relationship difficulties/issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma or grief? Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Most likely, you've answered yes to at least one of these areas of concern. You are not alone; in the emotions, experiences, and pain that comes with life. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations.

Hello and Welcome! Are there moments in your life where you wished things could go better? Have you noticed changes in being able to connect with yourself (mind/body) or being able to connect with others (friends, family, new acquaintances)? Have you wondered what's wrong with your self-care? What habits are interfering with leveling up? I want to start by recognizing the tremendous courage and step forward in seeking therapy.

My name is Pharalyn, my pronouns are she/they, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Diaspora Therapy Group. I’m dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with empathy and understanding through an intersectional lens. I have experience working with clients facing a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, anger management, life transitions, relationship issues, transgender and LGBTQIA+ concerns, domestic abuse, racial identity, stress, trauma, and PTSD.

I value opportunities to connect with my clients in unique and creative ways through humor, a love of animals, art, and connecting with nature. Through art, writing, and creative outlets I believe we can heal, and work towards integrating the broken parts of self. My approach to the therapeutic process is collaborative and goal-driven. I see my role in clients' lives as one that is temporary; my goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and renewed hope that will allow you to move forward without need for my help.

Are you looking for a therapist who is non-judgmental, inclusive, knowledgeable and makes efforts to understand you and what you're experiencing? If you're working through a loss, struggling with chronic illness, life transitions, low self-esteem, depression or anxiety, know that relief is possible. I create a safe space so I can get to know the real you.

I look forward to meeting you and discovering how we can work together to improve your experience of life! I see therapy as one way to prioritize yourself, try something different, and take a risk to address patterns that have not been working for you. My belief is that when you find someone with whom you can trust and who sincerely cares about you, you can then take the steps necessary to create the life you really want. I hope to be that person for you.
