Music Therapy in California

Hi! Are you especially creative or nonconforming? Are you mystically inclined or grappling with the implications of spiritual experiences you’ve had? Do you identify as neurodivergent or have trouble fitting in or knowing how to relate in the “normative” world? If any of these apply, you may have come to the right place. I specialize in working with people who are discovering and/or embracing particularly uncommon ways of living or experiencing life. Confusion, self-doubt, grief, fear, or difficult past experiences may feel like great challenges to the process of opening to who you truly are. You might wonder if there is a way.

My name is Crystal Clune, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that specializes in working with children and adolescents and teens. I have worked with school-age children since 2009. My approach to therapy is very client-centered and strength-based. I believe that the client is the expert of themselves and sometimes they just need guidance in re-finding their true selves. I work with all school-age children (ages 5-19) that are struggling with depression, anxiety, family issues, school issues, behavioral issues at home and at school, self-esteem, and trauma.

I'm so happy you are here! Deciding to seek out therapy for yourself or someone you love is a big step. I'm so proud of you and would be honored to work with you on your journey. Growing up as a human on Earth can be an emotional experience. Whether you are a child now or looking to connect with your inner child, therapy can be a great place to find hope, healing, and happiness.

Hi! My name is Sam and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist seeing clients virtually in both California and Arizona. I am passionate about helping young adults navigate their way through the world of grief, and the various emotions and struggles it brings with it. The majority of my practice focuses on processing the layers of your grief, and the anger, sadness, guilt, shame, denial, and shock that comes with it all. It also focuses on finding an acceptance of how you can live a new life without your loved one, and the secondary losses involved.

Do you wonder if you’re an addict, maybe not? I provide assessments and interventions for addiction. I’ve worked with famous actors, directors, major league athletes, scholars, scientists, studio executives, engineers, Hip Hop moguls and successful individuals. I specialize in trauma and addiction. I deal with issues such as controlled drinking, sobriety, relationship, couple's or family issues, Court, incest survivor trauma, and addiction issues. I'm also a LMFT, and Yoga and Meditation Therapist and EMDR Therapist which gives me a unique ability to help my patients integrate in their bodies emotionally and mentally.

You are so brave right now. Trying to find someone who can support you in living your best life can be hard. I hope I can help. You may be feeling lonely, frustrated, sad, lost, and on edge. It may be because of the past, something recent, or something you’re fearful of in the future. Whatever the case, you are struggling to be who you want to be. You want to see your potential, but there's all this stuff in the way. Let's clear the stuff, heal the pain, find your potential, and get you balanced and aligned with the true you.

My name is Haley Woodside and I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy. I believe that because we are complex and unique individuals, an approach that integrates both mind and body is essential for the healing, growth, and resiliency that is the goal of therapeutic counseling. Treatment specializations include: depression and anxiety, couples counseling, children and adolescents, psychedelic-assisted therapies, stress and/or pain management, life transitions, self-esteem, perinatal and women’s health, gender and/or sexual identity, & LGBTQIA. I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS & Somatic Experiencing.

We all have a need for connection, love and support. When we share our stories, we can form a new standpoint and choose different pathways to walk in this life. When we face life’s difficulties, I believe it is possible to find new perspectives and cultivate hope. Moving forward together, we can make a plan for change and recovery based on your goals. My style of relating to others is warm, caring, and collaborative. I offer a therapy experience grounded in respect, truth, objective reality, and compassion. I love to find the humor in everyday life, as humor can help us to withstand hardships.

I specialize in trauma (EMDR certified), grief and loss, career, disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression, and anxiety. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families dealing with all types of issues and mental health disorders. My approach is process oriented and goal directed while providing psycho-education and resources. I will help you access your inner strength and build tools to cope, grow, and heal.

Maybe you're in a tough place in life and need some help finding a direction. Or perhaps you're struggling to find connection, and support. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, and anxiety, and you're trying to feel something different. Or maybe, the current state of the world has affected you, your family or your children. We all suffer, and sometimes we need help, and I'd like to acknowledge you for trying to find an answer. Therapy can be place where we learn to address our suffering by taking power over it, through learning about what we can change. Are you ready for something different in your life?

Children, adolescents, adults and parents often find themselves stuck in a place where they need an outside source of support, stability and guidance. The many emotions that provide us with such joy, can also cause us pain and suffering. We are sometimes looking for the solid ground that a therapy process can provide. You may need a place to find your voice, find your strength and face your challenges in a way that feels less alone and isolating. Having a witness to our inner struggles and experiences can be remarkably helpful. As a clinician, my goal is to listen deeply and intently to your personal and subjective experience.

I can imagine that everyone is experiencing some type of needs regarding their emotional and mental wellness. Are you experiencing deep sadness? Anxiety? Personal issues amongst your family members or spouse? Maybe even some parenting issues?

I have dedicated myself over the last decade to providing efficient, empathetic, and supportive services to countless clients with various needs and circumstances from differing backgrounds and of various ages. I have worked with children in the foster system, teens on probation, babies and parents struggling with attachment, victims of domestic violence, older adults with memory loss, individuals of all ages diagnosed with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities and countless other mental health needs in various social/family/ environmental circumstances. I have over a year experience in providing therapy via Telehealth.

Life is challenging, and sometimes we need support. I invite you to reach out. I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy & of course welcome people of all sexualities/gender identities. I also see people on reproductive journeys using assisted reproduction. I offer a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space. Our work together will invite you to find a way forward, with your soul as guide. We will look at old patterns and critically, I will also provide clinical tools to assist going forward. We do this in a collaborative fashion, where I meet you where you are at.

Realizing there are times that are too overwhelming to handle on your own is scary. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and safe environment that supports adolescents, families and adults as they learn to navigate through difficult life circumstances. I encompass a gentle yet direct approach with my clients, and ensure every unique individual diversity is honored and respected. I draw upon therapeutic modalities that help the individual re-establish a relationship with their lost inner strengths and open new perspectives that foster more self love and compassion.

We can all use compassionate, focused empathy, supportive insight, and unconditional acceptance. Whatever your background, occupation, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, relationships, worldview, politics. I am uniquely equipped to help you find and express your best self and create solutions. I offer the first session free, and I provide telehealth throughout California.

Healing is a gift that emerges from seeds cultivated by struggle, broken borders, and bold dreams. I am a queer mental health practitioner in the Bay Area. My daily practice as a mental health clinician is guided and shaped by culturally relevant services imbued with an Indigenous approach to healing and medicine. My work is focused on trauma-trauma-informed care and recovery services for children, youth, adults, and families impacted by (im)migration, displacement, and other forms of oppression. We individualize and collaborate with the creation of your treatment plan of care tailored to the needs of each person. English & Spanish

Hi there! I'm Gabrielle Kubulan-Simmons, but you can call me Gabby. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adult clients statewide via telehealth. My specializations are in anxiety, depression, and stress through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and Solution-Focused Based Therapy. I believe that therapy can not only help with achieving one's goals but also can be used as a tool to gain a better understanding of oneself.

Everyone has challenges and battles to fight. A pain-free life is not always possible. Even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s difficulties. Whether you struggle with depression, grief, anxiety, or other issues, you should know there is hope for better tomorrows.
