Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I specialize in helping people navigate experiences that have fundamentally changed them — a loss, a major transition, a spiritual awakening, or a moment that shifted how they see themselves and the world. These experiences can leave you feeling disoriented, alone, or like you don't quite recognize your own life anymore. You may struggle to trust yourself, express what you need, or feel at home in your own skin. Just know, you are not alone.
Through a trauma-informed, body-centered approach, we'll explore what you've been through and create space to process it with gentleness and honesty. Together, we'll work to rebuild safety in your body through somatic grounding and mindfulness, restore connection to your authentic self through relational processing and creative exercises, and begin weaving what you've learned into a life that reflects who you're becoming — with more clarity, presence, and self-trust.
My style is collaborative, casual, and laid back. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to meet you where you're at, offering support that feels genuine and grounded in your pace and process.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see how we might begin this work together. Whenever you're ready, reach out.

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!

I provide online therapy to adolescents, young adults, and college students who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression. Each therapy session allows my clients to talk from a private space of their choosing to have a confidential session. Adolescents, young adults, and college students find online therapy easier at times as they do not have to travel to an office to get the help they need. In addition, I offer flexibility in scheduling to help allow for privacy and ease of obtaining the counseling.

Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
I provide online sessions by a video call to people in California and Washington. After the initial phone consultation (20min for free), if both you and I decide to work together, then, I have you make your own account in the "Client Portal". From there, you can join our online therapy session at a scheduled time. The portal also provides us with a communication tool that helps us communicate confidentially. Before the therapy begins, I would like you to make sure that you have a private space where no one can hear our conversation. If you have any concerns about having online therapy sessions, please feel free to talk to me anytime.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in the "success" of therapy. Meeting online gives us the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship no matter where you live or what your preference is about how to meet. I work with both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I help with are depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, trust and communication. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink and poly friendly.

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.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
While it may seem odd to work with a psychologist online sharing your deepest concerns, feeling vulnerable, and laughing/crying over a computer or phone screen, it isn't that much different than talking with your best friend except we will stay focused on you. Won't that be nice? Online therapy offers you the flexibility to work with a great psychologist while not having to carve out a couple of hours from your busy life, wasting fuel driving to/from an office, and sitting in an uncomfortable chair in the therapist's office. Online therapy with Dr. Chad brings you the freedom to engage in deeply meaningful conversations in a convenient location for you while using secure HIPAA-compliant technologies like video, phone, and text to ensure your information stays private and secure. Best yet, you can live anywhere in California to work with me while we explore your reasons for psychotherapy.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices—we are doing real work together, not just talking about your week. Each session is intentional and engaging, focused on creating meaningful insight and change you can feel in your daily life.
I see myself as a warm, intuitive, and deeply attentive therapist who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel truly safe, accepted, and understood. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have the right words, the right story, or the right reason to be there. Therapy with me is about feeling heard, finding clarity where things have felt confusing or stuck, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.
I am deeply passionate about relationships, emotional honesty, self-acceptance, and the quiet, often unseen struggles people carry. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they’re unhappy when, on the surface, life looks “fine.” I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, co-dependency, shame, guilt, and the lasting impact of past experiences or trauma. I also help people talk about things that are hard to name—topics that may feel embarrassing, stigmatized, or kept private for a long time.
I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to growth, even if they feel nervous or unsure at first. You don’t need to be “creative” or insightful to start—just willing to show up. Together, we gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and look for more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about. Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time; there can be space for curiosity, reflection, and even moments of lightness along the way.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, offered with warmth and humanity. While we honor your past, our work focuses on what’s happening now—and on helping you feel more present, more grounded, and more aligned with your values. I strive to help clients move through life with greater awareness, emotional balance, and self-trust, while reducing the anxiety, sadness, or self-criticism that may be getting in the way.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional difficulties, and mindfulness-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. In simple terms, this means we work together to notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—and gently shift what’s no longer serving you. These approaches are practical, supportive, and designed to help you feel better, not just understand why you feel the way you do.
At its heart, therapy with me is about building a genuine, supportive relationship—one that helps you feel more like yourself, more connected to others, and more confident in how you move through your life.
