Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
It's not the speed in life, it's the acceleration. The question isn't if we all experience anxiety in life. We do. The question is: how are we relating to that anxiety? I work with both individuals and couples on this, as well as relationship conflicts they may be experiencing, and on life transitions. Sometimes, we can feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional reactivity, or self-doubt, even when things appear stable on the outside. We work together to identify patterns, build healthier communication skills, and develop practical tools to reduce or reframe anxiety and increase emotional resilience.
As a holistic life coach, I incorporate therapeutic dialogue, mindfulness, breathwork, and hypnosis to support regulation within the nervous system and lasting change. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down - decelerate - gain clarity, and move toward more grounded, connected ways of living.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and sensitive to cultural and immigrant experiences.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, whether that’s navigating the dating landscape, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, or patterns that no longer serve them. You might be wondering how to show up as your authentic self, how to build deeper connections, or how to navigate intimacy and vulnerability in a world that doesn’t make space for who you are. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and create new possibilities.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you are an expert with online meetings or are a little hesitant to start telemedicine, I promise you, online therapy with me doesn't feel like another stiff, robotic Zoom meeting. I’ve intentionally designed my virtual practice to feel just as warm, connected, and down-to-earth as sitting across from each other in a cozy office. You get the exact same focused, high-quality care and deep collaboration—just without the stress of fighting traffic, rushing to an appointment, or even having to put on real shoes.
We live busy lives, and finding a block of time to take care of your mental health is hard enough. Telehealth makes it incredibly easy to fit real, impactful support right into your day, whether you're logging on from your couch, your office, in your car (while parked), or a quiet corner of your home. All you need is a comfortable spot and a secure internet connection, and we can get to work getting you unstuck, wherever you happen to be.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
About My Practice
I provide specialized online therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex life challenges. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a secure virtual environment, I create a supportive space for healing and personal transformation from wherever you are. My approach focuses on getting to the root of what's creating your struggles rather than just managing surface symptoms.
My Approach
My practice centers on what I call "updating your operating system"—we explore the roots of your patterns, understand how you got where you are, and consciously choose where you want to go next. This isn't about dwelling in the past; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I bring together evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, and clinical hypnosis with mindfulness practices, creating sessions that are collaborative and organic rather than rigid or prescribed.
Here's what might surprise you: one of the most powerful dimensions of real change is acceptance. Not the passive, resigned kind, but the courageous turning toward where you are with care and curiosity. This approach allows you to look squarely at reality and move forward from a place of truth rather than resistance.
Areas of Specialization
I specialize in supporting clients with:
Anxiety: Managing generalized worry, social anxiety, perfectionism-driven anxiety, decision paralysis, and the anxiety that stems from unprocessed trauma
Trauma Processing: Working through childhood trauma, parentification, relational wounds, and past experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world today
Complex Family Dynamics: Navigating challenging relationships with adult children, aging parents, partners, and other family members where boundaries feel blurred
Grief and Loss: Processing loss in its many forms—of people, relationships, the life you thought you'd be living, or your sense of purpose and identity
Patterns That No Longer Serve: Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, and abandoning your own needs to care for others
Benefits of Online Therapy
My virtual practice offers several advantages:
- Access specialized trauma-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space
- Greater scheduling flexibility across multiple time zones
- Elimination of travel time and transportation barriers
- A familiar environment that may enhance feelings of safety during vulnerable work
Getting Started
I work best with people who are managing to keep their heads above water but know something needs to shift—those experiencing mild to moderate concerns rather than acute crises. I welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and interested in a partnership approach. If you're willing to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth and want genuine understanding rather than therapy-speak, we'll likely be a good match.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. Research shows the most important factor in successful therapy is whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist—building that authentic connection is central to how I work.
Licensed in Colorado, California, and Maryland. Specialized training in Coherence Therapy, ACT, CBT, and clinical hypnosis.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
A sacred space to heal the parts of you that words alone may not fully reach. Many people carry stress, trauma, and emotional pain not only in the mind, but within the nervous system and body itself. These experiences can quietly shape relationships, self-worth, emotional reactions, and the ability to feel safe, connected, or fully present in life. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for individuals and couples (including LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous partners) seeking deeper healing and meaningful change.
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-based therapy, mindfulness, and counseling into a holistic healing approach that serves your nervous system to help you process and reconnect your mind, body, and spirit. You will feel more grounded and empowered.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. Our work together will move at a pace that feels supportive, collaborative, and safe while honoring both your lived experience and your body’s natural wisdom for healing.

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.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
You are the one everyone relies on.
The daughter who keeps the peace. The woman who notices everyone's needs before her own. The one who looks like she has it together but lies awake replaying conversations, worries about disappointing people, and feels guilty resting.
I help South Asian and Muslim women struggling with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship stress, and family pressure.
You don't have to explain your culture, family dynamics, or faith to me. And if you've been taught that being a good Muslim means endlessly sacrificing yourself, tolerating unhealthy behavior, or carrying everything alone, therapy can help you make sense of those messages while staying connected to your values.
Virtual therapy available throughout California.

I have worked since 2005 with clients with depression, stress, men's issues, and other life challenges, primarily in non-profits with marginalized and underserved communities. I see people seeking support for many difficulties, including:imposter syndrome, self-esteem, boundaries, vulnerability, excessive guilt and shame, communication skills, difficulty asking for help or saying "no," and more.

Brad Byrum
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
I use online video therapy to help couples change how they think, feel, and behave by integrating mindfulness, compassion and neurobiology. I am passionate about creating new models for the delivery of psychotherapy and behavioral wellness coaching utilizing web-based technologies which allow us to increase access, reduce cost, and enhance effectiveness. I work with clients via secure video, email, and text as well as HIPPA compliant complimentary resources. Research studies consistently indicate that online video therapy is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings. Because online video therapy is a relatively new, innovative and evolving form of practice, it requires additional, specific training to assure effective clinical outcomes. I am a Board Certified – TeleMental Health Provider (BC – TMH 1808) and I have extensive experience working with clients via online video both as a psychotherapist and as a professional coach. I continue to invest in additional training to remain at the cutting edge of innovation.
