I work with clients to help them make meaning and transform the often overwhelming, distressing, and confusing life experiences we all face. I use humor, honesty, perception, and compassion to create the space that will help us access the most lively and generative core of your self that is often overshadowed by relationship struggles, trauma, and other life transitions.
I graduated from Pepperdine University and have been licensed since 2009. I have extensive experience working with children and families struggling with anxiety, depression, symptoms of trauma and natural life stressors. I have supervised Intern and Licensed Clinicians and have enjoyed serving diverse populations.
I began my career in an inpatient psychiatric facility. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas in 2005. I moved to California right after graduation to provide therapy in an under served county in Northern California. In 2010 I moved back to Texas in preparation of starting my own family and to be near my aging parents. I tailor my therapeutic approach based on the needs of my clients. I believe that people are more open when they don’t feel judged.
When anxiety feels like it's running your life, or when thoughts keep looping no matter what you try, 25 years of experience makes a real difference. I'm Dr. Pamela Dobbins, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than two decades of practice working with adults through anxiety, panic, depression, and grief. I bring clinical depth and a direct, practical approach to every session. Clients often describe me as steady, clear, and genuinely invested in helping them build skills that last.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialization in spirituality and depth psychology. At the heart of my work is a deep belief that healing begins with self-love and unconditional acceptance — for yourself, not just others. I've seen how harsh self-judgment holds people back, so I bring a compassionate, non-critical presence to every session. I also believe strongly in building graceful boundaries and healthy self-care routines as the foundation for a fulfilling life. Whatever has brought you here — grief, a difficult relationship, trauma, or simply a desire to know yourself better — I'm here to walk alongside you without judgment.
I work with individuals, couples and families. I have experience working with many issues including anxiety, depression, substance use, mood disorders, grief & loss, relationship problems, ADHD, career challenges, LGBTQ+, and changes in the life cycle. I have worked in community mental health and with homeless veteran's.
Hi! I'm Graciela. I am a bilingual trauma-focused therapist with advanced ivy-league training, graduate level education, extensive clinical experience — and a whole lot of grit in my no-nonsense approach to therapy. You can expect me to be authentic and real, down to earth, wise, and validating as we work together to help you feel better and reach your treatment goals as soon as we can. My job is to put myself out of the job as soon as possible. See you at the top!
As a licensed therapist, I deeply value authentic human connection. I see our time together as sacred and hold so much gratitude for the chance to be part of your healing journey. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change—thank you for being here. Let's do this together.
You’re doing your best, and yet things aren’t landing the way you hoped. You put in the effort and care deeply, but something feels off, like your intentions don’t translate into the outcomes you want. You might find yourself asking, “What am I missing?” That gap can feel frustrating, confusing, and isolating. I work with clients who often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to show up as their full, authentic selves. Many are navigating chronic or invisible illness, neurodivergence, emotional regulation challenges, identity shifts, relationship stress, or difficulties at work or school.
Life has a way of throwing challenges our way that can feel impossible to navigate alone, but you don't have to carry that weight by yourself. With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with individuals of all ages—from young children to seniors—helping them find clarity through life’s most difficult transitions. Whether you are dealing with relationship struggles, depression, or the complexities of grief and trauma, my goal is to provide a steady presence that helps you find your way back to yourself. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by drawing on both my clinical training and the wisdom gained from decades of practice.
I believe that true healing happens when you have a space to speak freely with someone who isn't connected to your daily life or family circle. I bring a blend of professional expertise and extensive life experience to our sessions, which allows me to understand the nuances of the human experience beyond just a clinical lens. Outside of my work in the office, I enjoy staying active in the local community and find that a balanced life helps me show up fully for those I serve. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have an experienced advocate committed to their well-being.
Hi I'm Caitlin, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work solely with women (ages 18-35) in my practice. Are you navigating low-acuity anxiety, stress, life transitions, adjustments, and general women's wellness? This might be the place for you.
Therapy is a wellness journey—an intentional act of self-care rooted in holistic health. My style is nonjudgmental, authentic, and grounded in self-compassion. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to be fully themselves while feeling supported to grow. I model what I encourage in my clients: progress, not perfection. My approach is collaborative, honest, and focused on real-life application. Wellness is meant to be lived.
I joyfully integrate Ecotherapy into my work, as walk-and-talk sessions can offer meaningful benefits, including bilateral stimulation that supports emotional and cognitive processing. I often take Telehealth sessions outdoors while walking and invite clients who are interested and physically able to do the same virtually.
If you’re seeking to reconnect with your authentic self, exhale, and support your overall well-being, this may be the right space for you. I invite clients to come exactly as they are and honor the growth that unfolds throughout the therapeutic journey. Clients who commit to consistency often experience the most meaningful progress. At times, therapy may feel harder before it feels better—this is a natural and important part of healing. As emotions surface and insight deepens, lasting change begins to take shape.
My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you. I collaborate, support, and integrate wellness coaching and faith integration, when desired, to help foster autonomy, resilience, and personal growth. At the core of my work is creating a supportive space where clients can embrace who they are and move toward meaningful change with self-compassion.
Hi & Welcome. We all face challenges at times throughout our lives. We may need support finding self-awareness and compassion which I believe is the key in the healing process. I enjoy acting as an empowering guide along your journey. I believe in our innate capacity to change and create a meaningful and UPLIFTING life. My goal for you is to foster a safe, accepting and also challenging space that encourages personal growth and empowers you to make positive changes that support your values.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica. Thank you for checking out my profile. Finding the right therapist can be a bit of a process, and I appreciate you considering my services. I specialize in working with high-achievers, highly-sensitive/empath people, influences and content creators who are balancing career, relationships, and personal wellbeing. Many of my clients come to me exhausted from burnout or carrying deep relationship wounds—whether from breakups, divorce, or ongoing relationship struggles. These experiences can leave you questioning your self-worth and identity.
