Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide services in Spanish + English.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Mesoamerica-Indigienous ancestry. My life exposed to community violence, trauma and intersecting oppressions has led me to the work of healing, self-discovery, exploration and ancestral healing.
I was raised in the SF Bay Area and I currently reside on the stolen lands of the Tongva peoples, colonially known as Los Angeles, California.
My lived experiences of being a person of color with intersecting identities, navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. I grew up with many years of witnessing (through family members + my community) severe mental illness, addiction, community violence, chronic suicidality, incarceration and domestic violence. Through my own stories and experiences, as a justice-oriented therapist, I aim to disrupt and dismantle these oppressive systems within myself and in my practice to make therapy a safe(r) space for folks who are targeted and made marginalized.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Fiorella Chujutalli
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, AMFT
Are you tired of fighting with your partner and being misunderstood? Do you feel like you are trying your best but nothing seems to work? Do you miss the person you first fell in love with? Or maybe you and your partner are thinking about marriage but want to work on some important things first? These are all signs that you could benefit from couple's therapy.
I am a bilingual Hispanic therapist who specializes in helping couples "speak the same language" so that they can better understand each other's needs and grow closer together.
I also have plenty of experience working with people with chronic illnesses and helping them and their family reduce the stress that the illness may have caused in the home.
I get that seeking help is not always easy, but if you are wanting to start this journey towards a more healthy relationship and a life with more joy, I am only one call or email away. I am offering sessions in English or Spanish upon request. Call or email me for a free 15-min consultation!

Yael Sherne, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in perinatal mental health, parenting and relationships. I know firsthand how the path towards becoming a parent is not always easy. Many people seek my support after experiencing pregnancy loss or infertility, or because they are suffering with depression or anxiety as they navigate this stage. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients heal their wounds to move forward, and uncover what is holding them back and keeping them stuck. We will explore your own experiences in childhood to understand what parenthood means to you and was modeled for you, to help you find and align with the authentic self you want to be as a parent.
