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.

Further study led to an additional certification in Clinical Sexology. Regular attendance at national conventions helps me keep abreast of innovative treatments. My Biofeedback training informs my treatment of stress and anxiety.

Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Relationships take a lot of work and sometimes can use a little bit of help or third party perspective. Within my experience and professional practice I have helped many couples overcome various topics and issues including "burn out" with falling out of love or passion, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, and intimacy issues. If you feel your relationship can use a bit of a tune up and support, please continue reading and contact me.
I also specialize in working with individuals with chronic illness support. With my own experience of receiving a lifelong diagnosis at an early age, I have learned effective copping and adjustment strategies to help support with chronic conditions.

Celeste Tomasulo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer trauma-informed virtual therapy intensives for adults who need more flexibility, depth, or support than traditional weekly therapy can provide. Intensives give us dedicated time to move beyond surface-level coping and work more deeply with trauma, emotional patterns, relationship wounds, or experiences that feel stuck. You’ll leave with greater understanding of your patterns, practical tools for regulation, and a clearer path forward.
Intensives are designed around your needs and capacity, with accommodations for chronic illness, fluctuating energy, sensory needs, and other factors that can make conventional therapy difficult. My approach integrates somatic, trauma-focused, and parts-based therapies, with the flexibility to take breaks, move, change positions, or adjust the pace as needed—all from the comfort of your own environment.
