Do you have a safe space to talk about how you actually feel? Looking for self-improvement? Hey! My name is John (he/him/él) and I'm a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) & Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). I have clinical experience working with teens, young adults, and adults. As a Latino male therapist, I’m passionate about working with young men’s and men’s mental health such as emotional connections, vulnerability, loneliness, identity, and relationships. I offer 100% telehealth therapy (online via video) only anywhere in California! I’m in-network with a variety of insurances including Aetna, Anthem, BlueCross, Blue Shield, BlueCross and BlueShield, CenCal Medi-Cal, Cigna, First Health, Gold Coast Health Plan (GCHP) Medi-Cal, Government Employees Health Association (GEHA), Magellan, Health Net, Modern Health, Oscar Health, Optum, TriWest, UC SHIP, and United Healthcare. Unfortunately, we're not in-network with Medi-Cal versions of the listed insurances (only CenCal Medi-Cal of Santa Barbara and GCHP Medi-Cal of Ventura County). If your insurance is not covered, paying out of pocket is an option. We're also in-network with UC SHIP for UC college students. Feel free to email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation! Under the supervision of J'Quaysha Tucker, LMFT110419, LPCC8968 & Jack May, LMFT94423.
