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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
There are seasons in life when we feel lost, a relationship changes, a loss reshapes us, or a long-held identity no longer fits. We find ourselves in unfamiliar territory, uncertain of who we are or where we are headed.
Sometimes these threshold periods are sparked by an external life event. Other times they emerge as depression, anxiety, persistent relationship struggles, or the lasting impact of childhood experiences that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
In our culture, these experiences are often viewed as problems to solve as quickly as possible. Yet many of life's most meaningful transformations begin in periods of uncertainty, darkness, and waiting. Just as seeds germinate beneath the surface before they emerge into the light, something new may be taking shape within you, even when you cannot yet see it.
I offer a place to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion, and depth. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we listen for what is seeking expression, make meaning of life's challenges, and cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, your relationships, and your own unfolding path.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity, purpose, and meaning. Together, we create a space where healing and growth can emerge in their own time.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I started Eff Shame Therapy because I believe shame is at the root of most of what brings people to therapy — and because I think it deserves to be named directly rather than tiptoed around. We are living in a world that generates shame faster than most of us can process it, and many of us are carrying wounds from abuse, trauma, and systemic harm that have never had a real place to land and heal.
I work with adults who are ready to stop managing their pain and start actually moving through it. My approach is trauma-informed, shame-free, and genuinely collaborative — I bring some of the most effective healing tools available including EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR, and I meet you exactly where you are.
This work matters to me. Not as a concept but in the room, session by session, with real people who deserve more than survival.

Then we will dive into your needs and how I can support you with them.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Whatever the reason that brings you to psychotherapy at this time, I offer refuge in a confidential and nonjudgmental space where your story will be listened to with sensitivity and care. I am especially passionate about supporting people who are facing transitions: elders, people in midlife, students, artists, thinkers, and my fellow therapists. I am committed to helping couples manage conflict and envision new ways of communicating and being together. I specialize in accompanying you to those interior places that feel difficult, and in revisiting painful experiences that you can talk to no one else about. My practice is founded on our developing an authentic relationship of mutual regard. It will be my privilege to walk alongside you as we confront conflict, distress, and change to move together toward your healing, growth, and greater contentment in life. Please feel free to contact me for a brief complimentary online consultation.
