San Francisco, California therapist: Julie Levin, marriage and family therapist
CFT

Julie Levin

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I help individual adults cope with difficult family members. Whether problems stem from addiction, mental illness, neuodivergence, developmental delays, dementia, personality disorders, or control issues, you probably find yourself feeling resentful, exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, worried, sad, and stuck. I know what this is like. Mental illness and addiction run in my family, so I’ve had to learn how set amazing boundaries, prioritize self-care, take action when I have the ability to do so, and let go when things are not in my control (which may be the hardest part). For the past 20+ years, it’s been my honor and pleasure to share everything I’ve learned with my own clients, helping them create more space for themselves, find more joy and ease, and step back from the fear, guilt, and obligation (FOG) to find more clariety and peace.

Valley Village, California therapist: Layla Ashley Psychotherapy, marriage and family therapist
CFT

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.

Your current stop on your journey is never your final destination. Often we feel stuck, unable to move forward due to the heavy baggage being lugged around. In session with me, you can begin to unpack this bag and maybe eventually leave it behind, moving with more freedom than ever before in your life. I work with teens and adults, who are struggling with depression, anger, trauma, and anxiety. I work also with couples and families.

Online therapy works very well: in some ways, it is better than meeting face to face because it gently slides aside some of the conventional social niceties in favor of really talking about what is happening for a person. Then, working at more depth is facilitated, and more healing can happen.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
