Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart offers specialized therapy and groups created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find; care that takes women’s pain seriously and honors their beliefs. The practice was founded by Shakira K. O’Garro, LMHC-D, whose lived experience with severe stage IV endometriosis, adenomyosis, and medical trauma informs every layer of this work. Like many clients, she navigated years of dismissal within medical systems and discovered how deeply those experiences can impact mental health and faith.
Cheerful Heart exists so women no longer have to choose between clinical excellence and cultural and spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by understanding and genuine loving-kindness.

Fuller Life Concepts
Marriage and Family Therapist
I'm Kim, founder of Fuller Life Concepts, and I've spent over 25 years helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and the weight of just getting through the day.
Every therapist on my team is someone I personally selected—not just for their credentials, but because I'd trust them with the people I love most. I've built this team to ensure you find someone who actually gets your experience—whether that's trauma, cultural identity, parenting challenges, or anything in between.
Therapy with us is straightforward: We talk honestly, figure out what's keeping you stuck, and find a way forward—at your pace, without judgment.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up.
Book a session. Let's get you feeling like yourself again.

Lori Karny LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and MSG, Masters in Gerontology
I have been in practice as a clinican for over 20 years and appreciate the opportunity and interaction developed within the therapeutic relationship. I value the opportunity to help people during a time of need, interpersonal challenges. During my career I have counseled children, youth, survivors of sexual/physical abuse. I was a Clinical Supervisor or Program Director at several non-profit organizations. I also worked at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital in the Outpatient Adult Psychiatry Program where I provided psychotherapy for adults of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I have also counseled men and women with miltary service history, and volunteered to provide DACA students free therapy for 4 years through a unique program.

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.
