Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
My approach to therapy is primarily somatic and mindfulness based in nature, meaning we focus on the way your body feels when you get stressed or have unintended responses. I am interested in helping you to learn how to soothe those bodily reactions whether they are rooted deep in the past from traumas long ago or from current life challenges or from specific traumatic incidences. I support each individual in a manner that is unique to our relationship, be it using cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, expressive arts or utilizing transpersonal images and symbols.

Anna Ponder (Online/Virtual Therapy)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Throughout life we face difficulties, challenges, and unpleasant emotions and events, and therapy can be a helpful platform to ease emotional burden and increase balance and fulfillment in life. I want to work alongside you towards pursuing a life that inspires you as you become your favorite version of yourself. I am honored by my clients who choose to trust me during their therapeutic journey, one that is filled with growth, acceptance, and empowerment leading towards goal attainment and self-discovery.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions using evidence-based practices. I utilize several evidenced-based practices including ACT, DBT, and CBT, and incorporate these approaches to meet the needs of each individual client.
My role as a therapist is to help my clients recover their true sense of self by learning to make healthier choices and improve relationships with themselves and others. I believe that therapy can be a fulfilling, empowering experience.

KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
When asked to describe myself in one word, I generally choose unflappable, which may be another way of saying grounded. I jumped into this work with two feet, training first in addiction at UCLA, and then at Pacific Graduate Institute for a Masters in Counseling. I am a certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I CADC II, and hold dual licensure as LMFT and LPCC. I also trained in EMDR, at the Parnell Institute.

Cait Glenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
People in your life might think everything is fine, but inside you feel overwhelmed and alone. Your anxiety is ramped up trying to control something that you cannot control. Your world has been turned upside down and now nothing seems the same. Fatigue and feelings of distraction are constantly present and your worries feel overwhelming. You might even feel that your relationships have changed and that you need to protect the ones you love by hiding how you truly feel. Not anymore, it’s time for change. Trying to stay "positive" from isn't cutting it.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
As a therapist and clinical counselor, I help to hold the weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, and relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen. Struggle and suffering are hard to face, as it often leaves us feeling broken. Many of us were never taught to embrace our flaws and imperfections. What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves, the parts of us that are scarred, and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency?
The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves, the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty. My work is based on the hope that we can step into our authentic selves, to feel without shame, accept our darkness, live mindfully in our own light, and recognize that who we are is enough.
