Brainspotting
Enlightened Self Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to seek the support you need.
You may be wondering who you’ll be meeting with as you begin your healing journey. I am a Tohono O'odham and Mexican American, neurodivergent, cisgender, bisexual female. My identity and lived experience are an integral part of how I show up in this work with care, humility, and a deep respect for each person’s story.
As a therapist, I am committed to ongoing learning and growth in service of my clients. Over the years in private practice, I have learned to trust my intuition while developing and refining different healing approaches. This process has deepened my connection to Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting.
At my practice, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals who are deeply committed to their healing. Our therapists share this same dedication and are equally committed to the clients they serve.
In our work together, we thoughtfully interweave these modalities to support deeper, more integrated healing.
I feel a deep commitment to the people I have the privilege to work with and walk alongside in their process.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
In this life one thing we know for sure is that we can’t go it alone. Compassionate support and a trusted guide on the path can make all the difference. I know it did for me many years ago. My own journey of healing from complex post-traumatic stress disorder has most influenced my practice over the past 25 years. I spent many years trying to talk and analyze my way through trauma. It was only when I found mind body approaches such as brainspotting, somatic therapy and EMDR that I experienced deep healing. My practice is dedicated to sharing the power of holistic approaches to heal, restore and reclaim your life. I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of California with master’s degrees in both clinical social work and kinesiology specializing in sport psychology and a Ph.D. in transpersonal psychology specializing in Tibetan Buddhism. I am also certified in a number of mind body approaches to healing.

Bakersfield sits at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its oil industry and agricultural economy — two sectors with distinct occupational cultures that affect how residents approach mental health and help-seeking. The city has a large and long-established Hispanic community, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists serve a critical access role for families where language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Kern Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a relatively sparse private practice community — Bakersfield has fewer therapists per capita than comparable California cities, making telehealth an important access route. The city's conservative political culture and strong evangelical community mean faith-integrated approaches to therapy are in consistent demand.
