Kelsey Ruiz
Counselor/Therapist, MHC-LP
Close your eyes and imagine you are on a journey–a journey to become your best self. You look back and you see every step, person, and setback that helped you reach your ultimate goal. If that journey feels uncomfortable and clouded over, I can help you create a clearer path.
I understand that the world can be a confusing and scary place which makes taking even a single step forward feel overwhelming. As your therapist, I will be there alongside you every step of the way. I will give you a safe, comfortable place where you are free to share your true self.
I know from personal experience how important it is to take care of your mental health. My experiences helped me learn from my challenges and become a stronger, healthier person, and my goal is to do the same for you.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist

Joseph Barbera
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Ever felt like the world around you isn’t designed with you in mind? Like your voice isn't echoing as loudly or as clearly as it should? I’m on your team, and I’m here to validate what you’re going through, especially if you've experienced life from a marginalized perspective. I also want you to know, there's a space here for you—a sanctuary where your story is heard, acknowledged, and celebrated.
I've worked hard to understand the complexities of the human experience academically by studying Applied Behavior Analysis. But beyond textbooks, my approach is grounded in human connection. Together, we’ll discover your authentic self so you can move through the world more freely. Our sessions will reflect mutual respect and authenticity, and be guided by principles like humility and self-reflection.
I often recall Rumi's words, "The wound is the place where light enters you." Through our work, we'll tap into this light, allowing it to heal and guide. When the weight of the world seems overwhelming, or when sorrow seeps in, remember that time has a gentle way of healing. We'll learn acceptance in the process, allowing the light to mend, warm, and lead us toward newfound clarity.

Christopher Stevenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
The language of therapy has become ubiquitous in our culture. While the therapist in me appreciates this development, particularly if it is accompanied by a destigmatizing of mental health care, I understand some of the skepticism some might feel regarding therapy in general. For example, it is worth asking: How is it that our society seems increasingly alienated and atomized, even as
acknowledgment of trauma and ideas pertaining to emotional healing gain prominence in our discourse? Given all of this focus on self-care and wellness, why does it seem like so many of us feel
more alone and lost than ever?
Certainly, this dynamic is in part due to larger structural forces that shape our lives in ways both obvious and imperceptible. But rest assured, therapy absolutely can be a force for good, so long as we never lose sight of the paramountcy of human connection and avoid retreating into narcissism.
My approach to therapy is integrative, with an emphasis on relational work and psychodynamic principles and application. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and non-authoritarian space where we will identify the feelings and assumptions that generate the self-defeating patterns preventing you from experiencing joy and fulfillment in your life.
So many of us desire to feel more connected, less anxious, and less alienated, but we simply do not know how to achieve this reality. This is especially true for some of us who have experienced
attachment disruptions, or even more severe forms of trauma. Or, perhaps we see a path forward, but that path vanishes suddenly without warning and is replaced by malaise and renewed uncertainty, or, even worse, despair. Our work together will focus on developing that path in such a way where it will endure even in the face of adversity and the intrusion of the past into the present.

Elana Weinstein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
There is a distinct mind-body connection that most of us are not aware of. When your mind suffers, your physical health soon follows. This very mind-body connection is something we will explore together in our counseling sessions. I focus on holistic healing methods that will bring together both the mental and physical aspects of yourself.
I welcome clients of all ages and from all backgrounds and strive to make our sessions together a judgment-free space. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
As we work together, I hope to help you find peace, purpose, and healing. In doing so, this may cause a ripple effect in your life that will impact others outside of therapy–creating a happier, healthier world around you.
In each session, I will meet you where you are and will give you the patience you need to work at your own pace. I will strive to be an active listener as you explore your feelings and experiences.
Are you ready to begin your journey of peace and healing? I look forward to our future together.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
After decades of providing psychotherapy and assessment in offices, I’ve moved recently (2019) into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too. Save yourself a trip away from work or home!

Jillian Drummond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Healing from trauma alone can be a painful journey. You need someone on your side to help you through difficult times and can help you be more successful and intentional with your healing.
As a therapist, my passion is to help those in the more vulnerable population. Many of my clients struggle with trauma in their life, and are also dealing with figuring out where they fit in with their racial and cultural identity. In my practice, I embrace all individuals, no matter who you are or what you’ve been through.
I want to help you see past the worst things that have happened to you and help you understand that those experiences do not define you. I work through this journey with you from a place of compassion and empathy so that you can emerge stronger and more confident in who you are.
My goal for you and all my clients is to find your true self and embrace your identity, whoever that person is inside that we need to find. My heart and mind are open and ready to begin the healing process with you. Reach out to me today, I would love to learn more about you and see how I can help.

Caleb Valentin
Counselor/Therapist, MHC-LP
You’re the author of your own story, and you deserve to bring that story to its fullest potential. Whether it’s unpacking your past or moving forward with your best self, all of us want to live our most authentic lives. My hope is to work together to understand and share the story that you want to tell.
I specialize in working with trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, self-discovery, academic challenges, career counseling, and life transitions. My goal is to provide you with an honest, empathetic perspective in a space where you feel in control. As your therapist, I’ll offer a perspective that embraces the strength and resiliency that make you who you are, while also challenging you to dig deeper so you can facilitate healing.
Therapy isn’t always easy, but hopefully, our work together will create a sense of ease and lighten your load. In my work, I hope to bring a much needed sense of camaraderie in your therapeutic journey through compassion, empathy, and maybe even some humor.

Counselor/Therapist, MHC-LP
It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution.
I’m a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss. Whatever you’re going through, I’ll be a compassionate listener who reframes the situation and so you can see it in a different, more positive, light.
My approach draws heavily from logotherapy, which promotes action toward finding life’s purpose. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused therapies to help clients examine life transitions, relationship friction, and the many other challenges they might encounter in life.
Mental health and physical health are intertwined. I believe a holistic approach that incorporates good nutrition and exercise enhances talk therapy. A sense of humor is also invaluable in creating perspective and easing the load we are carrying. With that in mind, I look forward to working with you to reinvigorate your enthusiasm for life and optimism for the future.

Maricia Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some might look at an online therapy relationship as being inauthentic or diluted but I strive to build relationships that are quite the opposite in my online therapy practice. My goal is to create a space where my client feels safe, encouraged, understood and empowered. A space where the integrity of the therapeutic relationship is paramount. I have found that being in the comfort of your chosen space while sharing in mine, clients and I are able to create a relationship built on trust which enhances the ability to be vulnerable, along with flexibility and a shared convenience between us. In all, these factors allow for a therapeutic environment that leads to high levels of accomplishment in whatever area of concern/s is being addressed.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Something amazing happens when you believe in yourself: You find self confidence, the courage to live authentically, and the determination to pursue the life of your dreams.
My clients are people who want more from life and are ready to shed the limiting beliefs holding them back from being the most confident version of themselves. Conquering negative self talk, overcoming old patterns, and setting boundaries that support your mental health are all areas we’ll explore together.
Curiosity and compassion will guide us through this process so we can identify what’s working for you, what isn’t, and create an individualized approach to therapy that’s aligned with the life you want to build. As a result, you’ll be able to ditch the programming that leaves your true self boxed in, rewrite the stories that keep you small, and find the inner fuel for making the most out of life.
The world would be a better place if all of us recognized and took ownership of our inner strength. Sometimes, having a person in your corner to empower you along your journey can make all the difference. Let’s move together in the direction of more joy, deep fulfillment, and authentic purpose.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Together, we will co-create a collaborative and warm space where we can explore issues and stressors related to relationships, work, identity, trauma, and oppression. Committing to your mental health can feel overwhelming, however therapy can help you discover your core values and how they relate to your personal history. I am committed to supporting my clients through overwhelming emotions, lack of motivation, and difficult past experiences.
Life can feel overwhelming and chaotic, but during our time together I strive to slow things down by noticing what is coming up for you so we can begin to identify what we need to attend to. Through introspection, connection, and skillbuilding, my clients gain a sense of self-awareness, purpose, and clarity which allows them to walk through life with more clarity.
If you get the sense that you aren’t sure what the problem is, but that there must be more to life, therapy can help you uncover and resolve what is happening. It takes a lot of courage to prioritize yourself and commit to change. Together we can care for the parts of you that are struggling, while emphasizing what helps you feel stronger and more whole.

Nicole Schullo
Counselor/Therapist, MHC-LP
The world is great at telling us that we’re not enough. Not good enough, not skinny enough, not successful enough, not funny enough. But I’m here to tell you that these “not enoughs” are wrong. I know you don’t believe me yet - that’s what therapy is for.
Your journey might remind me of my own. Witnessing people I care about grapple with anxiety and depression, and enduring the hurdles of an eating disorder in my adolescent years, I was exposed to the less-than-perfect parts of being human. It motivated me to make sure others don't face the same barriers. Now, as a therapist, I'll show you that recovery, growth, and thriving are possible.
You're not just another client. In our space, you’ll find warmth, authenticity, and a sprinkling of humor. Here, you're celebrated for who you truly are. Leveraging my background in clinical therapy, coupled with tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I’ll cheer you on and watch you grow.
Your decision to get help is the first step. I'm right here, ready to walk this path alongside you. Warm, kind, optimistic, and genuine - that's me in a nutshell. And you? You're deserving of every ounce of support and respect.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
The negative stories that society tells people of color impact their self worth, comfort in their own skin, and relationships. My practice focuses on rewriting those narratives so clients can understand their lived experience, challenge internalized beliefs, and heal from the impacts of racial oppression.
As a psychotherapist, I work to empower the disempowered through an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and intersectional approach. My focus is creating a space for clients to be unapologetically themselves, while gaining the confidence to navigate the world around them.
My clients are mainly Black women, Muslim women, and women of color struggling with self love, self esteem, colorism, hair stigma, and intersectionality. Women of color are hit the hardest with race-related stress. And yet, they seldom have the proper resources or tools to heal. In my practice, I help clients disrupt the intergenerational trauma that continues impacting them.
When dealing with race related stressors in a world that dismisses these struggles, it’s easy to become discouraged. You don’t need to feel ashamed of your experiences, feelings, or identity. Let’s write a new story together.

Psychologist, PhD
One of the most important decisions you will make when considering psychotherapy is who you choose as your therapist. Can you be your authentic self with them? Are they nonjudgmental, open, and curious about you? Reaching out and asking for help can be difficult. With that in mind, my consultations are conversational and as comfortable as possible, especially when speaking about difficult topics.
Telehealth psychotherapy makes therapy accessible from anywhere you have internet access. Recent Research shows that Telehealth sessions are equally effective as face-to-face psychotherapy, with better retention rates and increased access to care. I currently offer face-to-face sessions in West Hollywood.
When you phone, you will get my personal voicemail or I will answer your call myself. Insuring your privacy is of utmost importance, especially among my Client base. You will never have to speak with a secretary, answering service, or receptionist. And unlike some practices, you will never be transferred to an associate or intern.
I am an AAMFT designated Clinical Fellow. I am also core faculty in the Couples and Family Therapy program at Alliant University, where I teach and supervise the next generation of therapists. I also am an expert intimacy consultant for film and TV.

Counselor/Therapist, MHC-LP
After seeing a family member struggle with their mental health and the positive effect therapy had on them, I decided I wanted to help people in the same way. I want to hold space for you to speak freely about your thoughts, feelings, difficulties, and hardships. Through this process I will help you better understand yourself, your behavior and where you fit into the world.
I work best with young people between ages 6 and 35 as I understand the difficulties life brings as you transition from adolescence to adulthood. During our time together, I will help lead you on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance so you can begin to live a more fulfilling life. I am dedicated to creating a safe, warm, welcoming space where you are free to be honest and authentic.
I know starting therapy can be an overwhelming or even scary experience. However, you have already taken the first step and I am ready to meet you where you are. Reach out and we can begin our journey together.
