Yael Sherne, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in perinatal mental health, parenting and relationships. I know firsthand how the path towards becoming a parent is not always easy. Many people seek my support after experiencing pregnancy loss or infertility, or because they are suffering with depression or anxiety as they navigate this stage. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients heal their wounds to move forward, and uncover what is holding them back and keeping them stuck. We will explore your own experiences in childhood to understand what parenthood means to you and was modeled for you, to help you find and align with the authentic self you want to be as a parent.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
As a therapist and clinical counselor, I help to hold the weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, and relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen. Struggle and suffering are hard to face, as it often leaves us feeling broken. Many of us were never taught to embrace our flaws and imperfections. What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves, the parts of us that are scarred, and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency?
The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves, the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty. My work is based on the hope that we can step into our authentic selves, to feel without shame, accept our darkness, live mindfully in our own light, and recognize that who we are is enough.

SHANNON KLOSAK
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LAADC-CA, M-RAS, NCPM, DV VICTIM ADVOCATE
Hello, I'm Shannon.
In addition to being a Mental Health Provider, I am also a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator (NCPM).
Being a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator, has helped me a great deal as a mental health provider.
I am able to break down the layers of a situation or conflict with the goal of a positive outcome for everyone involved.
Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:
1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do......
2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal........
3. I will not fight you for your healing....
What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.....
4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.....
I look forward to working with you!

New Birth Family Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD
Are you carrying the heavy load of trauma, feeling like an imposter in your own body? It's challenging to navigate daily life when the weight of past experiences looms over you. Your relationship may be strained because your partner doesn't understand what's wrong, and you find yourself trapped in constant ruminating thoughts, losing sight of your purpose.
Imagine a life where you've lifted that burden, and trauma becomes a distant memory that no longer weighs you down. Picture yourself out, enjoying life with friends and your partner, your bond stronger than ever. You've rediscovered your spirit and purpose.
I specialize in trauma healing by using EMDR, CPT, and Brain Spotting. These modalities aim to get to the heart of trauma and help your brain reprocess those traumatic memories. Book a free consultation and let me help you feel whole again.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.
I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.
