Meet Alexis

I am working on finishing my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My style has more of a casual, peer-to-peer feel as I have a lot of personal experience with most of the adversity life can offer and feel this style lends itself well to building rapport and trust with my clients. I prefer a humanistic, whole person approach rather than pathologizing labels, but sometimes labels can also be helpful to name and normalize the struggles someone may go through in life. While I don’t have my master’s degree yet, I have an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts with a special certification in Addiction Treatment, a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Mental Health, a level three state certification in addiction treatment (CADC III), and am certified through UC Berkeley in Sleep Therapy. I have personal and professional experience with addiction and recovery, mild/moderate mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and panic disorder, relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ and identity navigation, stress and burnout.

I have been working in the mental/behavioral health field for about 5 years now and continue to build on my experience working with a wide range of clients. The bulk of this experience so far has been with adults of all ages, but I am excited to gain more experience with couples, families, and children. The therapeutic approaches I utilize are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, somatic work and mindfulness, spirituality, emotionally focused therapy, and internal family systems (parts work). My philosophy is that all humans need some sense of meaning and purpose to motivate them and create their personal definition of happiness and success in life, whatever that means to them. I aim to help clients achieve this by exploring their personal identity and encouraging them to take action steps.

I look forward to working with you.

Anxiety, Depression, Grief and loss, Relationship issues, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Family dynamics, Family conflict, Self-esteem/self-worth, LGBTQ+ mental health, Spirituality, Neurodivergence – ADHD, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Parenting, Addiction and Recovery, Existential issues

Book Lanelle

Meet Lanelle

Hello! My name is Lanelle and I am a pre licensed intern psychotherapist currently completing my graduate studies at Antioch University Santa Barbara. My approach is grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own lived experience and to treat each individual holistically: mind, body and soul. My deepest intention in the therapeutic dynamic is to always meet clients with compassion and curiosity regardless of where they are in their journey. In our work together, my role is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make. Rather, I strive to walk alongside you as you deepen your understanding of yourself and your experiences.

My therapeutic approach draws from Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Based practices, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Object Relations Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Inner Child work. I tailor my approach to each individual, honoring the unique needs, strengths and experiences they bring into the therapeutic space.

I have experience working with children, individuals, couples, and people navigating significant life challenges including homelessness and high acuity mental health concerns such as psychosis or disruptive personality disorders. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and particularly resonate in working with individuals who identify as spiritually inclined or who wish to explore spirituality as a meaningful aspect of their healing journey.

I believe healing extends beyond the therapy room. Nature, meaningful community and authentic somatic expression can be powerful sources of growth and resilience. As appropriate, I may incorporate mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, grounding techniques and meditation to help clients cultivate greater self awareness and emotional regulation.

Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, intimidating, or uncertain. I want you to know that you do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whatever you may be carrying, you are not “too much.” My intention is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater healing, authenticity, and well being.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Relationship issues, Life transitions, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Family dynamics, Family conflict, Self-esteem/self-worth, Attachment issues, LGBTQ+ mental health, Racial or cultural identity, Spirituality, Attachment, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Addiction and Recovery, Existential issues

Approaches:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Humanistic / Client-centered, Strengths-based, Trauma-informed care, Culturally responsive therapy

Populations:

Teens / Adolescents, Young Adults (18–25), Adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC communities

Meet Scott M.

I received my M.S. in Counseling with an emphasis on Nature-Based Counseling through Prescott College and have been providing therapeutic support for individuals, couples, and families since 2023. Before I stepped into my current role, I facilitated outdoor programs as a naturalist-mentor. It was during this time that I began to see how building internal skills that promote creativity and awareness can have a strong therapeutic potential. I incorporate mindfulness-based and emotionally focused practices to assist in fostering deeper sense of meaning and connection to ourselves and the world around us. I believe therapy is most beneficial when a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative space is created between the therapist and those seeking support. It is in this environment that true growth and healing can take place. I look forward to working together to find what that looks like for you.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief and loss, Relationship issues, Life transitions, Burnout and stress, Identity development, Self-esteem/self-worth, Neurodivergence – Autism, Neurodivergence – ADHD, Attachment, OCD, Existential issues

Approaches:
Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Humanistic / Client-centered, Strengths-based, Trauma-informed care, Experiential therapy, Child Centered Play Therapy

Meet Denise

I completed my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy/Professional Clinical Counselor (MFT/PCC) at the University of Massachusetts Global.

Finding my own purpose through deep soul work inspired me to hold that space for others.

Meet Kristen

I believe all pain stems from disconnection. Disconnection from self, others, and a greater belonging to the natural world. As a social species, we need love and support from one another to thrive and co-create a felt sense of safety. I view trauma as the fragmentation of painful experiences that get stuck within the body. Utilizing talk therapy, somatic, and mindfulness-based practices we will gently untangle what is keeping you stuck to create a more integrated sense of wholeness. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship problems, or a life transition, I am honored to assist you in making meaningful internal and external change to co-create a life of fulfillment, connection, ease, and purpose. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor the style of therapy to fit your needs and goals. Together we will move through and learn from life’s difficulties to engender more harmony within yourself, your relationships, and your environment.

Issues Treated:

  • Anxiety
  • Coping skills
  • Depression
  • Emotional Disturbance
  • Family Conflict
  • Grief and loss
  • Life Transitions
  • Peer Relationships
  • Relationship Issues
  • Self-esteem
  • Spirituality
  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Women’s issues
