Hattie Bluestone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You may be coming to therapy feeling stuck and exhausted by patterns you can’t seem to change—anxiety, self-criticism, difficulty connecting with others, or pushing through emotions rather than fully experiencing them. Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers a different approach. Rather than fighting against these parts of yourself, we turn toward them with curiosity and compassion, seeking to understand how they developed and the ways they have tried to protect you. Often, the patterns causing difficulties today began as creative adaptations to earlier challenges. When these parts feel understood, something naturally softens, creating the conditions for meaningful and lasting change. Beyond symptom relief, IFS can help you feel more grounded, connected, and at ease within yourself, allowing you to move through life with greater confidence, authenticity, and emotional freedom.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I provide online therapy for adults and parents throughout California who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of family life. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are juggling a lot — careers, parenting, partnerships, and personal growth — and want a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices that help clients better understand their emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationships. I have particular expertise supporting parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD and autism), helping families reduce overwhelm and build more connection and understanding at home.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together we work to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more supportive ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

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.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Perhaps you've done everything "right." Therapy. Supplements. Books. Meditation. Yet your nervous system still feels like it's carrying something much older than today's stress. I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, depression, CPTSD, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

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.

Katie Blake
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals and couples who are feeling the lasting effects of past trauma and are ready to begin the healing process and move forward. With more than 12 years of experience treating complex trauma (C-PTSD), I bring extensive knowledge and care to this work. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). I consider both approaches to be highly effective in addressing and resolving trauma.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Throughout our work together, I offer compassion, guidance, and steady support.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in the "success" of therapy. Meeting online gives us the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship no matter where you live or what your preference is about how to meet. I work with both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I help with are depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, trust and communication. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink and poly friendly.
