Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
I am PSYPACT authorized, serving adults and couples via secure telehealth therapy across 40+ states — making expert psychological care accessible wherever you are.

Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and connected in your relationships, in your body, and in your sense of self. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, sexual challenges, cultural expectations, or past trauma, therapy can be a powerful space for healing and growth. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and help them move toward deeper intimacy, emotional clarity, and self-trust.
My approach integrates trauma-informed care with a deep respect for culture, identity, and lived experience. As an Armenian therapist, I understand the weight of generational patterns, unspoken family rules, and the tension between tradition and individuality. If you come from a background or a culture where emotions or sexuality are hard to talk about, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone.
You bring the strength. I bring the tools. Together, we can create space for you to reclaim your voice, your relationships, and your sense of wholeness.

Romina Schnelle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've been carrying the weight of difficult experiences for a long time. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. As an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, I take an individualized approach to treatment because healing is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we'll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and determine the treatment approach that best fits your needs and readiness.
I also believe that emotional well-being is connected to the whole person. In addition to exploring thoughts, emotions, and past experiences, I consider factors such as stress, sleep, physical health, and lifestyle that may influence mental health. Whether you're processing painful experiences or navigating a difficult chapter in life, my hope is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your ability to cope, and better equipped to move forward.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic human relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.
