Book Alexis

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.

Areas of Focus:

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

Book Denise

Meet Denise

I completed my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy/Professional Clinical Counselor (MFT/PCC) at the University of Massachusetts Global. My passion for therapy started as I went through my own healing journey and saw the light through the darkness. Finding my own purpose through deep soul work inspired me to hold that space for others.

“Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

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

Book Raven

Meet Raven

I help couples and individuals who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, low desire, or sexual tension find their way to safety, intimacy, and something authentic. Mismatched libidos, painful intimacy, infidelity recovery, or the quiet distance that can build over time, my work focuses on healing the nervous system and rebuilding authentic connection—so that love can feel nourishing again. Couples often seek me when they are looking for a different approach—something that lands differently and interrupts their loop of disconnection.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate in California and a doctoral student in clinical sexology, I specialize in guiding clients to identify looping or hidden patterns—often shaped by childhood trauma and then offering practical alternatives. I work to interrupt the nervous system’s imprint of disconnection. My approach blends somatic therapy, neuroscience, Tantra-inspired practices, and communication frameworks to create new relational blueprints.

I address 3 of the biggest Myths of Marriage:

“Love is enough for a marriage to last.” Consider: it also takes effort, prioritization, and intimacy skills to navigate the terrain of connection—many marriages fail despite deep love.

“Sexual desire is spontaneous—it either happens or it doesn’t.” Consider: sexual engagement and arousal are like muscles; you need to know how to “work out” at the intimacy gym to develop them.

“Fighting means the relationship is failing.” Consider: relationships often fail because partners never learn how to argue well and move easily into repair. Healthy relationships may argue, but those who argue repair quickly and effectively.

Intimacy isn’t about perfection or even being happily married— it’s about freedom in being authentic, wherever the marriage is, then moving in choice from there.

I’m not just a talking therapist; I’m a somatic, body-aware therapist—paying attention not only to what you say but also to how your body says it. Example exercises may integrate breathwork, listening exercises, or body awareness to rebuild trust and reignite curiosity and play. Currently accepting couples & individuals.

Areas of Focus:

Relationship issues, Attachment issues, Spirituality, Attachment, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Sexual Dysfunctions, Existential issues

Approaches:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-based Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Strengths-based

Life can bring challenges that feel overwhelming—moments when clarity, balance, and direction seem out of reach. In our work together, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and create meaningful change. Here, your story matters—every scar, every dream, every moment of uncertainty is welcomed without judgment.

As a first-generation immigrant from Brazil and a bilingual Portuguese and Spanish speaker, I bring a culturally sensitive perspective to therapy. I understand the unique complexities of navigating more than one cultural identity and can support you in exploring culture-related challenges, belonging, and integration.

My approach is rooted in warmth and curiosity, and I draw from depth psychology, humanistic principles, mindfulness, and nature-based practices. Whether you are moving through fear, shame, anxiety, mental health challenges, relationship struggles, or life transitions, we can work together to address the concerns you bring while uncovering deeper strengths and possibilities within yourself.

My intention is to create a collaborative space where you can connect with your values, embrace all parts of yourself, and move toward living in a way that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief and loss, 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, Separation/Divorce, Neurodivergence – Autism, Neurodivergence – ADHD, Attachment, Religious Trauma, OCD, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Sexual Dysfunctions, Parenting, Faith Issues, Addiction and Recovery, Motherhood, Postpartum, Existential issues

Meet Danielle

I’m currently completing my Master’s in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Somatic Psychotherapy at Antioch University. My work is grounded in a depth-oriented, relational approach that integrates talk therapy with somatic awareness, present-moment processing, and trauma-informed care.

Both personally and professionally, I’m passionate about supporting others on their journey toward authentic growth and wholeness. For me, this means creating a space where all parts of you can be seen, held, and supported. That journey is unique for everyone, whether it’s unraveling the roots of childhood trauma, healing relational or cultural wounds, or reconnecting with your body, voice, and intuition. I believe growth doesn’t ask for perfection—it asks for presence, radical self-compassion, and the willingness to gently explore what’s ready to be known.

Often, we don’t get many chances to slow down and reflect on who we are or who we’re becoming. Therapy can be a space where all intersections of self—emotional, physical, ancestral, and spiritual —are welcomed home. Through attuned listening, nervous system education, humility, and curiosity, I aim to co-create a space that fosters trust, safety, and belonging. I also support clients in building lifelong tools for resilience and self-understanding.

Before beginning my graduate studies, I spent years working as a Healing Arts Practitioner and coach. My background includes energy healing, somatic trauma-informed care, and a deep exploration of earth-based and holistic healing practices. These influences continue to shape the way I show up in the therapy space—with reverence and an understanding that healing is both sacred and deeply human.

Areas of Focus:

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD, Grief and loss, 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, Religious Trauma, Sex and Intimacy, Women’s issues, Communication Skills, Faith Issues, Motherhood, Postpartum, Existential issues
