Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide services in Spanish + English.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Mesoamerica-Indigienous ancestry. My life exposed to community violence, trauma and intersecting oppressions has led me to the work of healing, self-discovery, exploration and ancestral healing.
I was raised in the SF Bay Area and I currently reside on the stolen lands of the Tongva peoples, colonially known as Los Angeles, California.
My lived experiences of being a person of color with intersecting identities, navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. I grew up with many years of witnessing (through family members + my community) severe mental illness, addiction, community violence, chronic suicidality, incarceration and domestic violence. Through my own stories and experiences, as a justice-oriented therapist, I aim to disrupt and dismantle these oppressive systems within myself and in my practice to make therapy a safe(r) space for folks who are targeted and made marginalized.

Davene, Fecteau
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPCC
Do you feel lost and overwhelmed in the season of life you are in? Perhaps you, like so many of us, have been living through periods of prolonged stress. You may have experienced a significant traumatic event, or a million little things may have piled up. Either way, the methods you have been using to cope just may not be serving you well anymore. Therapy, and the work of healing, is learning how not to abandon yourself. With compassion, curiosity, and acceptance, I collaborate with you on working towards your goals so you can rediscover the wholeness of who you are. In order to heal, your brain and body need to feel safe and secure. You are the expert on your own internal experience, and my role is to assist you in learning how to utilize inner resources to help your mind and nervous system recover gently. I encourage you to not just treat your symptoms, but to go deeper into examining and healing what is causing the symptoms. This creates lasting change and the resources you learn to access in therapy can be utilized throughout your life moving forward.
I offer free phone consultations. Reach out today to learn more so you can decide how to proceed. I look forward to connecting with you.

Ryan Dalusag LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You are not alone. It feels completely isolating to struggle with heavy emotions like depression or anxiety, but you don’t have to do it yourself - I am available to help you navigate through it. As a Filipino-American queer male, my practice is geared towards helping individuals that struggle with identity, lingering traumas, or fear and worry about their future especially those within the Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and LGBTQ+ communities. Seeking help and talking about some of our darkest and most difficult moments can be really challenging. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.

In our fast-paced world, choosing to pause and look within is counter cultural. At Embark, we collaborate with you to enhance your reflective abilities and shine a light on aspects of your past that may have been overlooked. By addressing and expressing unresolved emotions, we facilitate moving beyond past traumas or disappointments, fostering an increased ability to fully engage with the present.
