I utilize evidence-based interventions to help you overcome mental health challenges - whether it is due to social situations, life changes, trauma, or just something you've always dealt with - we can create a treatment plan specialized to fit your unique needs. Therapies include Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy which I combine with a collaborative approach based on your level of need, in addition to educating you on the how's and why's of each intervention we use. I believe empowering and educating people is the key to success when it comes to creating lasting change in our lives. ~~~
I have years of experiencing working both online and in person with individuals, couples, and families. I primarily work with women and nonbinary folks, those in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as teens, and young to middle-aged adults.

Dr. Mazmanyan and Associates
Psychologist, Ph.D
Struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed? You don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dr. Mazmanyan & Associates, we provide attachment-based and relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. We believe emotional healing and a sense of self develop through relationships and are shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural contexts. Therapy focuses on understanding how these patterns formed, honoring how they once served a purpose, and gently reshaping them to better support current relationships, emotional well-being, and self-trust.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We have 14 + years of experience supporting folks with Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery. We recognize dehumanization and exploitation are part of a capitalist ideology and colonial and imperial strategies and abuses are perpetrated by people affected with that mindset, and can take the form of abuse within the family, the workplace, groups, and other relational dynamics where power over may be abused/misused to transgress. We recognize when violence is happening anywhere to one being, it is likely happening elsewhere, so we only work with people committed to anti-oppression and ending abuse and subjugation everywhere! We are skilled and certified in complex trauma work, parts work including: TIST - Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (Janina Fisher's Work), IFS -- Internal Family Systems; trained in IPNB, Bonnie Badenochs Dyadic Parts Work, EFIT, SensoriMotor... Certified in Somatic and Creative Trauma Recovery Support and Intersectional and Social Justice Frameworks, Multi-generational/historic trauma and wisdom Support, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory, SSP, CranioSacral -- please see our listing at Upledger Institute, distance TCM, herbalism and homeopathy support, Relational/Mediation/Partners/Couples work certification, Energy Work, Sidereal Astrology integration as asked for, and Integrated Ethnotraditional Healing Ways. We have also completed the two year fellowship for Functional Psychiatry through Psychiatry Redefined and review ISEAI and NORMI info, so we integrate support for folks with mold and some other environmental toxin impacts. We receive referrals and are also glad to coordinate healthcare with other professionals if requested by the client. We are trained in herablism of different cosmologies and have supported people who work with others in integrity with plant medicine. We do not administer medicine journeys -- though we have extensive background in supporting people to prepare and to metabolize/integrate afterwards. We have extensive experience helping people recover from Narcissistic Trauma, Workplace/Institutional Bullying, Poverty Trauma -- we only work with people who are committed to ending violence and brutality everywhere. We recognize if power over abuse is happening to one person, it's likely happening to many elsewhere in the world, or even close by, and every one person's recovery is part of pushing back on and ending systemic violence. So the individual and systemic recovery must happen together.
Our specializations are support for CSAS -- Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Survivors or folks currently enduring narcissistic or bullying trauma, Survivors of colonial trauma, and often underserved POC/GM folks. We are a WOC/GM practice. We have a strong record for working with people with intensive DID, DDNOS and other undiagnosed dissociation, CPTSD and trauma survivor experiences and feelings -- very welcome here, as long as folks are committed to healing within a movement of standing for all being's right to dignity and self determination.
We are a Decolonizing Oriented and Intersectional Framework Practice prioritizing care for those who are systemically impacted and those who are active bystanders and activists. Red lines are red lines -- no excuses for perpetration. That said, if people are on the journey to ****actively (not just hypothetically or theoretically) repair, be an engaged and active bystander and not enact hegemonic violence with strong commitment, we are here to support that journey.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many couples struggle when conflict keeps repeating or one partner feels unseen, and distance grows even when both care deeply. In online sessions, I help partners slow down these patterns, recognize what’s happening beneath the surface, and build the skills to stay emotionally connected. Through attachment‑based and trauma‑informed practices, I guide couples toward communication that is safe, honest, and repair-focused, even when stress or past wounds are present. Online therapy can be a convenient, contained space to explore challenges together without the distractions of daily life.
