KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I hold psychotherapy as a devotional practice. In the weekly ritual of therapy, I hold space for a creative and playful exploration of the psyche. Through a continuous commitment and recommitment to presence and curiosity, we open the way for the unknown to be transformed into meaning. This opening is a portal into intergenerational healing work, where energy can return to us as we reconnect with our roots and unearth our true Selves.
I approach couples therapy relationally, much like my individual therapy work. With couples, there’s already an existing relationship in the room, which allows me to gradually integrate into that sphere of trust and alliance. By relational work, I mean utilizing the relationships present in the room and focusing on the “here and now” to help couples recognize patterns and connect them to their origins in the “there and then.” In my work, I create space for warmth and humor, which serve as resources for clients during more challenging conversations.
I have dedicated myself to working at the intersection of social and spiritual liberation. My studies in the Integral Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies have supported me in this orientation through a lens of depth psychology. My experience in community mental health settings has trained me to meet my clients with cultural humility, equipping me with liberation psychology and healing justice frameworks. My previous training as a birth worker helps me to conceptualize the work of therapy as a practice of birthing that which seeks to be born.
We all deserve to return to the feeling and experience of belonging — to ourselves and our bodies, to our communities and the world around us. In our practice, you will be witnessed as you recover what was lost and uncover what feels new. Being trauma-informed, our work together will flow at the pace of safety and trust. I am here to guide your awareness toward the body, as you feel ready, so that you might better understand its messages for you, hearing its wisdom. It would be an honor to accompany you on this journey, as we devote ourselves to this healing work together.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, whether that’s navigating the dating landscape, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, or patterns that no longer serve them. You might be wondering how to show up as your authentic self, how to build deeper connections, or how to navigate intimacy and vulnerability in a world that doesn’t make space for who you are. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and create new possibilities.

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.

For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.

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.
