Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma likes to pop up at the most inopportune times. If you're experiencing guilt after overreacting to a triggering moment, or just the challenge of co-occurring ADHD, ASD, and trauma/mood disorders, I can help! If you have no idea what you have or what is happening, I have the tools to help you figure it out. It can be so hard to find someone who understands what you are going through and offers non-judgmental guidance. I know because I've also had therapists, and it took a while to find them. Getting correctly diagnosed is also tricky. It's why I also offer comprehensive psychological evaluations for differential diagnosis. ¡También se habla español!

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Sometimes receiving in-person therapy is impossible because of scheduling conflicts, distance or other reasons. Being able to correspond with your therapist in a written format is a wonderful alternative to in-person therapy and it has unique advantages. For example, you will have a record of what was covered in each therapy session that you can refer to after and between sessions. This will help you remain accountable and on track to achieve your therapy goals. If getting to therapy appointments is difficult, online therapy may be worth exploring. Call me and we can discuss whether online therapy would be right for you!

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Online therapy makes it possible to connect from wherever you are: home, office, or on the go. I provide secure video sessions for clients across California, giving you the same focused attention and depth of conversation you’d expect in person. It’s a flexible option for people with busy schedules, parents at home, or anyone who prefers the comfort of their own space.

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.

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.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals and couples who prefer the flexibility of meeting remotely. Online therapy allows us to do meaningful, effective work together while reducing barriers like travel time, busy schedules, or geographic location. This can be especially important for clients seeking sex therapy, sex addiction therapy, or LGBTQ+ affirming care, which may not be readily available in more rural areas of Texas and California. I strive to create the same sense of connection, safety, and presence in online sessions as I do in person. For many clients, meeting from their own space helps them feel more comfortable and engaged, making it easier to stay consistent and focused on the work we’re doing together.

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.

IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
I am a Certified clinical hypnotherapist and I.E.M.T. Practitioner. This website focuses on the IEMT part of my practice.
My sessions are typically 20 to 40 minutes in duration.
The scope of this practice is to help you collapse unwanted negative memories, traumas, PTSD, and Anxiety. Basically this technique is fast and effective for most.
This technique allows a negative memory and emotion that is a problem when you think about it to finally and forever relieve itself from bothering you.
On a SUD scale (Subjective Unit Determination) 0 to 10 - and 10 is the absolute worst - and your issue, when you think about is at least a 7, allow me the opportunity to help you bring that down to a manageable level. It no longer will interfere with your every day life and often times clients cannot even remember what the issue was or it becomes so distant that it is no longer relevant.
This is an eye movement technique and it is NOT emdr. It isn't even similar to it. The results are immediate - within a minute - and they are permanent.
Let me know if you have any questions. If I do not answer your call immediately, I will respond the moment I am available. (I am with a client if I am not answering my phone).
