Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being a therapist isn’t just a job for me. It’s a calling shaped by my own mental health journey. Working with a therapist who truly understood me was life-changing, and it’s what inspired me to do this work. I know firsthand that meaningful transformation is possible when you are given the right support and tools, and my hope is to offer that experience to each of my clients. In our work together, you won’t get someone who simply sits back and nods. I am actively engaged and can help you feel understood even when you’re struggling to put things into words. If you’re someone who has trouble opening up, I can help you let people in and share what’s going on underneath in a way that is authentic to you. I balance thoughtful listening with meaningful input, offering perspective and guidance when it’s helpful, while making sure the work supports you in becoming more fully yourself rather than fitting into a mold. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels approachable, steady, and genuinely invested in your growth, and who can help you turn insight into real, lasting change, I’d be glad to connect. I offer a free consultation so you can see if we’re a good fit.

Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own.
I offer online therapy for women and couples who look like they’re managing life well on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or not quite like themselves. Many of my clients are navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and major life transitions, including perimenopause.
Virtual therapy with me is not a watered-down version of in-person work—it’s focused, effective, and designed to create real change. From the comfort of your own space, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected in your relationships.
If you’re in a relationship, online sessions can help you break out of repeating conflict cycles, better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and rebuild connection—even if things have felt stuck for a long time.
My approach blends practical tools with deeper, insight-oriented work. We focus first on regulation—so you’re not just talking about your life, you’re actually able to shift how you experience it.
Online therapy offers flexibility, privacy, and accessibility—without sacrificing depth.
If you’re ready for support that goes beyond coping and helps you create meaningful, lasting change, I’d love to work with you.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
You are the one everyone relies on.
The daughter who keeps the peace. The woman who notices everyone's needs before her own. The one who looks like she has it together but lies awake replaying conversations, worries about disappointing people, and feels guilty resting.
I help South Asian and Muslim women struggling with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship stress, and family pressure.
You don't have to explain your culture, family dynamics, or faith to me. And if you've been taught that being a good Muslim means endlessly sacrificing yourself, tolerating unhealthy behavior, or carrying everything alone, therapy can help you make sense of those messages while staying connected to your values.
Virtual therapy available throughout California.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I specialize in helping people navigate experiences that have fundamentally changed them — a loss, a major transition, a spiritual awakening, or a moment that shifted how they see themselves and the world. These experiences can leave you feeling disoriented, alone, or like you don't quite recognize your own life anymore. You may struggle to trust yourself, express what you need, or feel at home in your own skin. Just know, you are not alone.
Through a trauma-informed, body-centered approach, we'll explore what you've been through and create space to process it with gentleness and honesty. Together, we'll work to rebuild safety in your body through somatic grounding and mindfulness, restore connection to your authentic self through relational processing and creative exercises, and begin weaving what you've learned into a life that reflects who you're becoming — with more clarity, presence, and self-trust.
My style is collaborative, casual, and laid back. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to meet you where you're at, offering support that feels genuine and grounded in your pace and process.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see how we might begin this work together. Whenever you're ready, reach out.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked since 2005 with clients with depression, stress, men's issues, and other life challenges, primarily in non-profits with marginalized and underserved communities. I see people seeking support for many difficulties, including:imposter syndrome, self-esteem, boundaries, vulnerability, excessive guilt and shame, communication skills, difficulty asking for help or saying "no," and more. Reducing self-judgment will help you to make better decisions that are aligned with your core values. This will ultimately free you from negative thoughts or worries so you are more fully available for all the important things in your life.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you are an expert with online meetings or are a little hesitant to start telemedicine, I promise you, online therapy with me doesn't feel like another stiff, robotic Zoom meeting. I’ve intentionally designed my virtual practice to feel just as warm, connected, and down-to-earth as sitting across from each other in a cozy office. You get the exact same focused, high-quality care and deep collaboration—just without the stress of fighting traffic, rushing to an appointment, or even having to put on real shoes.
We live busy lives, and finding a block of time to take care of your mental health is hard enough. Telehealth makes it incredibly easy to fit real, impactful support right into your day, whether you're logging on from your couch, your office, in your car (while parked), or a quiet corner of your home. All you need is a comfortable spot and a secure internet connection, and we can get to work getting you unstuck, wherever you happen to be.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict or emotional distance and are unsure how to repair the bond they once had. Many of the individuals and couples I work with, including LGBTQ+ partners, are navigating betrayal, trauma, attachment injuries, or long standing relational patterns that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I also support individuals whose relationship distress is impacting their mental health, sense of self, or ability to feel secure and connected. My clients are often seeking a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection, and are ready to do the work it takes to heal.
I am an experienced couples therapist who has spent several years working almost exclusively with couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and individuals. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand their attachment needs, identify and break negative cycles, and rebuild emotional connection.
Reaching out for couples or individual therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when things feel tense or uncertain. You don’t have to have all the answers before starting. If you are motivated to better understand your relationship patterns and willing to do the work, therapy can be a powerful place to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change together.
