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.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
I have found that Online therapy has significant benefits that are not always obvious to clients before starting. These benefits often make Telehealth more effective than traditional in-person therapy styles.

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.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
When life gets busy, it can be challenging to make appointments of any kind that fit in your schedule. If you frequently travel out of town, have any scheduling or transportation constraints, or simply prefer having your therapy sessions in the comfort of your own home- teletherapy might be a good fit for you. Teletherapy makes it convenient to make sure you're able to squeeze in that much needed time to focus on you and your healing, no matter how busy life gets.

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.

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.
