Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
The entertainment industry is a particularly challenging business to navigate and thrive in. The intense competitiveness and the premium placed on notoriety, fame and money contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-worth. In my previous career, I worked as an agent and subsequently an agency owner. This experience has given me the insight to deeply understand the constant pressure we put on ourselves to be “successful” for the sake of external validation and financial gain despite our mental well-being. I know what it’s like to achieve a version of “success” that was supposed to make me happy but, in fact, left me miserable and purposeless. If you find that you are getting in the way of your own growth because of the intensity and ruthlessness of the entertainment industry, we can work to identify what is at play and help you find the right path for you. Together we will redefine your definition of success and how that can be implemented to take your career to the next level.

Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
"Is what you are looking for a job or a career?" This is the very first question you may want to ask yourself. It's because a job and a career are two different things, so the strategy to get what you want is going to be different. While a job is mainly for money, a career is something that you care and passionate about and that you cultivate your own career path that leads to your life satisfaction and fulfillment. I provide support for job/career change by exploring areas of your interests, skills, experiences, personality, and helping to write a resume and cover letter, and making sound decisions. If you are interested in my support for your job or career, feel free to contact me anytime!

Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
I believe choosing a career is about choosing what is most meaningful for you. Do you not know what your calling is? Let's discover it. Do you know what it is, but feel it's too hard to get there? Let's explore together. Sure, some of us need to balance our work choices with personal needs, family limitations, and more. But we can find a path that is exciting, satisfying, and in alignment with our heart. Career counseling isn't about taking questionnaires, although they may help illuminate interior responses. Career counseling is about finding your source of YES! and making it reality.

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.

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!
