Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You understand why you struggle in relationships, yet the same patterns keep showing up. You may overthink, seek reassurance, struggle with trust, avoid vulnerability, shut down during conflict, or feel caught between wanting closeness and fearing it. Often, these patterns are rooted in trauma, attachment wounds, and earlier relationship experiences that continue to shape how you connect with others. I help individuals and couples heal these underlying patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build healthier, more secure relationships through a holistic approach that integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, attachment work, and mindfulness.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have the utmost honor and care for my clients who enlist their trust in me to walk side by side with them on this rich, vulnerable, intimate, and sometimes challenging journey toward transformation. I am passionate about helping people fully awaken in their lives, even amidst the collective trauma we are currently experiencing. In learning how to access your vast unconscious world, you will have an increase in self-awareness, developing a more intimate and authentic relationship with yourself and others. Together, with curiosity, we can examine the the roots beneath your anxiety, often discovering defenses, coping mechanisms and survival strategies that are no longer serving you. In a safe, empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment, I will lovingly challenge you to look at your constructed narratives and unhealthy patterns, while exploring your conscious and unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and the world. I believe the deepest healing comes from feeling all of the feelings you were unsafe to feel when you were a child, perhaps unlocking emotion you didn't know how to express. Time and time again, I've seen this lead to less somatic symptoms, less physical and emotional suffering, a deeper sense of self-trust, and a profound sense of freedom. I've had the honor of working with clients "in the room" for 14 years, supervising associate therapists for 9 years, and teaching graduate psychology students in the LGBTQ specialization at Antioch University for 4 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with the LGBTQ population, creatives in the entertainment industry (showrunners, writers, directors, producers, actors, network executives, etc), parents, codependency, relational issues and trauma. My approach is experiential and depth-oriented, integrating psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, EMDR and EFT. I believe these modalities lend to a meaningful and rich therapeutic relationship, leading to fully integrated and lasting change.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have been in practice for almost 20 years. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and business owner who uses all my relationship experiences, both professional and personal to bring compassion, patience, and a desire to help into the therapy space. I have my masters degree from seminary, which gives me the ability to incorporate faith and existential matters into the therapy practice. My faith is very important to me and allows me the perspective of seeing each client's value and purpose here more clearly.

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Therapy is my second career act in life. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in Bay Area tech finance for 20 years. I found myself in my early 40s burned out and unable to just "get it together." It was through my own therapy journey that I was finally able to hear my own voice. I'd love to help you find yours.
