Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer online therapy for adults who want a thoughtful, grounded space to come home to themselves. My work is relational, warm, and deeply attuned—I’m interested in the stories you’ve carried, the identities that shape you, and the parts of you that are ready for more ease, expression, or alignment. Together, we slow down, get curious, and make room for the truths that have been waiting beneath the surface.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Meeting online allows you to choose the safest and most comforting environment to you, and, the time when your brain and body are most available for deeper, emotional work. I'll get to know your space, your language, and your stories, and together we'll grow to use your choice of environment and tools as resources for our therapeutic work. While I can't welcome you into an office with a handshake, we're able to meet from our independent spaces with eye contact and genuine expressions of connection. We're still able to effectively use an integrative approach using body-oriented and cognitive techniques in therapy, including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning Experience (DARe), an attachment-based approach to Somatic Experiencing. I am participating in the three-year Somatic Experiencing training program as well to continue refining skills of working with chronic pain and illness as a consequence to long stored fear responses in the body.

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.

Psychologist, Ph.D
Struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed? You don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dr. Mazmanyan & Associates, we provide attachment-based and relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. We believe emotional healing and a sense of self develop through relationships and are shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural contexts. Therapy focuses on understanding how these patterns formed, honoring how they once served a purpose, and gently reshaping them to better support current relationships, emotional well-being, and self-trust.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Therapy for Anxious Overthinkers, Perfectionists & Couples
You’re outwardly capable, but inwardly stretched thin. Maybe you’re always overthinking, saying yes when you want to say no, or feeling pressure to “hold it together” even when you’re struggling. I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or relationship conflict—and want more than just coping skills.
Therapy can help you feel emotionally safe again—in your mind, in your body, and in your relationships. Let’s work together to reconnect you to yourself.
