Hello, My name is Dr. Benedicte Last (PSY 30089). I practice clinical psychology in California. As a therapist, I support you in your journey toward the life you envision for yourself. In that process, we may process and heal the trauma that is holding you in the past, help you add or strengthen the tools to take care of yourself in the present, and in doing so, support you in laying the foundation of your future. In therapy, I use the theoretical approach that works for you. At times that could be psychodynamics, in which you work on understanding your emotions and unconscious patterns of behaviors.

Gayle Whitlock, LMFT 84009. My approach to therapy is rooted in the recognition of the challenges faced by Black Women, Women of Color, and all Women who are navigating the intersectionality of race and culture while also managing depression, anxiety and simply trying to find a place of balance. I utilize an evidence-based approach as well as the propensity to call out the B.S. that is getting in the way of you living your best life. I will help you challenge societal stereotypes, generational narratives that hold you back while you learn to forge towards authentic self-discovery.

***Currently accepting new Clients*** Welcome, stressed out moms! Life can be complicated, and sometimes you need to take a minute (or maybe 50) to talk to someone who will truly listen. I strongly believe in the words of Carl Rogers and treat all my clients with "unconditional positive regard." In particular, I know how hard it is to be a mom. We deserve to feel good, and our children will also do better when we feel better. Therapy helps us to feel unburdened. It allows us to see our challenges objectively and therefore tackle life's problems with more ease.
