Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I provide online therapy for adults and parents throughout California who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of family life. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are juggling a lot — careers, parenting, partnerships, and personal growth — and want a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices that help clients better understand their emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationships. I have particular expertise supporting parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD and autism), helping families reduce overwhelm and build more connection and understanding at home.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together we work to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more supportive ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I am a therapist who approaches this work with steadiness, depth, and respect for the complexity of being human. I bring nearly two decades of experience in the mental health and addiction field, including work in high acuity and relationally complex settings, which has shaped a grounded and thoughtful clinical presence. I am comfortable sitting with intensity, uncertainty, and contradiction, and I do not rush people toward solutions before there is understanding. My priority is creating a therapeutic space that feels emotionally safe, contained, and honest, where difficult material can be explored without fear of judgment or pressure to perform.
I do not see people as broken or deficient. I understand symptoms, patterns, and behaviors as responses that developed in context, often as ways of coping, protecting, or surviving. Over time, these responses can become limiting or painful, but they usually make sense when viewed through the lens of lived experience. Therapy, for me, is an opportunity to slow things down enough to understand what has shaped you, what feels misaligned now, and what continues to repeat despite your best efforts to change it.
My style is relational, direct, and collaborative. I value honesty over reassurance and clarity over quick fixes. I am engaged in the work and will offer reflection, perspective, and challenge when it is useful, while remaining attuned to pacing and readiness. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and accountability, and that change is most sustainable when it grows from insight, agency, and choice rather than pressure or shame.
I work well with clients who are motivated to engage in foundational work and who are open to looking beneath the surface of symptoms or conflict. This does not mean you need to have answers or know exactly where to begin. It means a willingness to be curious, reflective, and honest about what is working, what is not, and what feels difficult to face alone. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been silenced, protected, or lost along the way.
At its core, my work is guided by humanistic values and a belief in each person’s capacity for self understanding and meaningful choice. I do not position myself as an authority over your inner life. Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to make sense of your experience and move forward in ways that feel coherent, intentional, and sustainable. I hold this work with care, seriousness, and humility, recognizing the trust it requires to invite someone into your inner world.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Enlightened Self Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you feel highly attuned to others’ emotions, carry a constant sense of overwhelm, or find yourself managing an ongoing inner dialogue, you are not alone. Many of these experiences are shaped by how we’ve learned to survive, adapt, and stay safe.
We offer a space where all parts of you are welcome, especially the ones that have had to work the hardest. Together, we can gently reconnect you to your present moment experience and support you in moving through feelings of overwhelm with care and intention.
If you’re wanting to deepen your connection with your body and learn how to work with sensations rather than against them, we can help. Our approach integrates somatic therapies, including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
We are committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors your lived experience.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Since the advent of the Covid pandemic all sessions have been through teletherapy - either video or phone. While the initial motivator is protection of our physical health, the practice provides increased accessibility and convenience for clients. Studies (and practice) have shown that teletherapy can be equally effective as in-person therapy.

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.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a therapist isn’t just a job for me. It’s a calling shaped by my own mental health journey. Working with a therapist who truly understood me was life-changing, and it’s what inspired me to do this work. I know firsthand that meaningful transformation is possible when you are given the right support and tools, and my hope is to offer that experience to each of my clients. In our work together, you won’t get someone who simply sits back and nods. I am actively engaged and can help you feel understood even when you’re struggling to put things into words. If you’re someone who has trouble opening up, I can help you let people in and share what’s going on underneath in a way that is authentic to you. I balance thoughtful listening with meaningful input, offering perspective and guidance when it’s helpful, while making sure the work supports you in becoming more fully yourself rather than fitting into a mold. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels approachable, steady, and genuinely invested in your growth, and who can help you turn insight into real, lasting change, I’d be glad to connect. I offer a free consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit.

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.
