I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who began her career in 2016 supporting children and families through the foster care system. In2024 I shifted my focus to working primarily with adults, and I now specialize in anxiety, depression, coping skills, and the life challenges that can feel overwhelming even when you are doing your best. I believe the fact that you are looking for therapy is already a win. Life brings on challenges and different seasons, and my goal is to help you focus on the moments you can control, develop positive coping skills, and work through past patterns getting in the way of the life you want. I offer telehealth sessions throughout California.

I genuinely love helping people and being a source of support during the times when they need it most. I believe having someone who will truly listen, understand, and walk alongside you can make a meaningful difference, especially when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to navigate on your own.

My approach draws on psychoanalytic thinking, which revolves on one central idea: much of what we think and feel remains outside of our awareness. Sometimes we keep powerful feelings hidden so we can continue moving through the day, or we simply cannot find time to reflect on everything that is happening to us. In any case, keeping these potent experiences hidden may leave us feeling stiff, dreary, unfulfilled, or even numb and dull.

Hi, I'm Carmen! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 4 years of experience supporting individuals, children, and families through life's toughest moments. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, mood challenges, neurodivergence, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, chronic pain, insomnia, and major life transitions. What drives me is creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—because I believe in meeting you exactly where you are.

Hi :) My name is Brett (she/her) and I have been a therapist for over 10 years. I have advanced training in trauma, attachment, family therapy, and Early Childhood Mental Health. I also enjoy serving folks who identify as Queer, Poly and/or Kinky.

I’m Fatima Castillo, LCSW, and I also go by April. I earned my Master of Social Work from Brandman University now University of Massachusetts Global and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. My background in social work includes experience in child protective services, adult services, behavioral health case management, and school-based mental health. These roles have given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating a wide range of life circumstances and challenges. As a therapist, I have provided mental health services to adolescents and adults in a school-based setting and currently provide therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.

My communication style is warm, down-to-earth, and conversational. I strive to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly, and feeling genuinely heard and understood.

Growing up, I often witnessed conflict at home and learned to keep many of my feelings to myself. During a time when talking openly about emotions wasn’t always encouraged, I remember wishing I had someone who could help me understand and process what I was experiencing. That experience helped shape the kind of therapist I strive to be today—someone who provides the support, understanding, and encouragement clients may need while navigating difficult seasons in their lives.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. We can begin wherever you are.
