Santa Cruz, California therapist: Galina Zlotnikova, marriage and family therapist
Existential/Humanistic

Galina Zlotnikova

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #83992
I specialize working with people who have experienced trauma, emotional or physical abuse, chronic illness or are caregivers to someone living with a chronic illness. Drawing from my own personal experiences with illness and trauma, I dedicated many years to studying mind-body therapies. My goal was to understand the root causes of illness and trauma and identify the most effective, easily implementable treatments—approaches that wouldn’t overwhelm or strain individuals who are already coping with compromised health. I work with a deep understanding that, for trauma survivors, symptoms often take the place of memories. In my practice, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where every client is met with gentle curiosity and thoughtful attention. My goal is to understand you from your point of view and to help you to connect to and befriend parts of you that feel hurt, neglected, anxious or overwhelmed. Regardless of your past experiences or current challenges, my hope is that we can work together to build the resilience and self-compassion you need to live a meaningful, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist? Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)? Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)? Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)? Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)? Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
Existential/Humanistic

Russell Wilkie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Beginning March of 2025 I will exclusively be providing online therapy (tele-health) using video technology. Over the past 30 years I have specialized in helping marginalized people heal, evolve, and find their tribe. I’ve spent deep and significant time with: LGBTQIA+, polyamory, sexual kink and sex therapy, and existential depth therapy. I am solution focused, very practical and direct, while also providing deep empathy and understanding. I prefer massive behavior change and strategies over digging into our deep, dark, past issues — we can always figure out the reason for our struggles later.

David Biggs

Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in clinical, residential, and private practice settings, and have received training in multiple evidence based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy. Choosing the right therapist from a website can be difficult, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I will make every effort to refer you to a therapist that is. If we do choose to work together, I will work hard to build an authentic, trusting relationship with you, so together we can uncover your inner resources to overcome the challenges you’re facing, and attain the personal growth you're committed to accomplishing. Please note that I'm currently providing video and phone sessions only due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alex Ly

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and drained by the pressures and demands placed on you. You try to make others happy and work as hard as you can, yet you never feel like it's good enough. You never feel "good enough" and you are reminded of that daily. You feel disconnected from your own life and trapped in a cycle of anxiety that can leave you feeling like you're watching your life from the outside, unable to reach in and make a change. In your relationships, this gap widens, leaving you longing for a deeper bond. Yet, as you try to analyze and solve these feelings as if they were mere problems, the solutions become more elusive.
