Michael Ceely
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help men like you who might be feeling a bit overwhelmed or stuck.
A lot of men are feeling the pressure to constantly grind and push, often at the expense of the things that really matter. It's like they're chasing this old idea of what success looks like, and honestly, it's just not sustainable or even that fulfilling in the long run.
Just powering through when you're stressed isn't the answer. What I offer is a different approach. Think of it as finding a clearer path forward, one where you're not constantly battling stress. I help you get clear on exactly what's stressing you out, and help you feel more confident and in control.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you create a life that feels both successful and joyful. Imagine feeling calmer, and more self-assured. Imagine actually enjoying the journey, not just striving for some distant finish line. It's about feeling good in your own skin, having strong relationships, and achieving your goals without sacrificing your peace of mind.
There is a better way to navigate life's challenges, and I'm here to help.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you having difficulty recognizing yourself lately? Do you lie awake even when you're exhausted, dread dates on the calendar no one else notices, or rehearse how to seem okay before you walk into a room? Are you trying to be everything for everyone while always putting yourself last? You don't have to keep faking it or struggling through it alone. These experiences that deserve real care. I specialize in reproductive mental health to support adults through infertility and the ache of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, the upheaval of pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, OCD and intrusive thoughts, and life with chronic pain or illness. The version of you that feels at home in your own life isn't gone. Let's go find it together.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life.
I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor.
-
For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box.
Walk with me - you're not alone in this.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Hi there! I believe therapy doesn’t have to last forever. People often seek support during pivotal moments in life when challenges feel overwhelming, and they’re ready for change. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to become your own therapist, equipping you to navigate life’s ups and downs long after our work together ends. To achieve this, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Schema Therapy.
