Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I most often support empathic, caring, sensitive people who are used to being the “go-to” person for others, while feeling overwhelmed and depleted themselves. This is how it has always been and feels aligned with your values, and you know this way of existing is not sustainable and doesn't make you truly happy. If you’re ready to begin working toward making some shifts in life, or even ready to think about what that might look like, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable identifying and working toward your dreams, in order to move toward a life that you love more.
I offer online therapy for people throughout California and Maryland. Contact me for a free consultation call to have your questions answered. I look forward to connecting!

Julia Jensen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. Together, we can explore what is keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping skills, and help you move toward greater clarity, resilience and peace of mind. I am committed to working compassionately and respectfully with each of my clients. I view myself as both a guide and a witness to the sacred path of struggle, resilience and transformation that is part of the human experience.
With more than 40 years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, ethnicities, ages and life stages. I offer in-person sessions in a warm comfortable, ADA accessible office, as well as virtual sessions or a hybrid of both.
I am looking forward to collaborating with you on your personal journey.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands? Do you find yourself worried, angry, depressed, confused; or unsure how to cope? Perhaps you feel that no matter what you do, it is never quite good enough. You may be holding these feelings inside, unsure of who to talk to, where to turn, or feeling confused by the well-meaning but conflicting advice of others. Please know that you are not alone.
Reaching out for therapy can take tremendous courage. Whether you are dealing with a crisis, life transition, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, or a desire for meaningful change, therapy can offer a safe and supportive space to be heard and understood. I will help you understand your feelings, work through what keeps you stuck, and guide you in moving towards healing, growth, and greater peace of mind.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Charlie Taylor
Therapist, MHA, LCSW
Therapy with me is a safe place where you are allowed to be imperfect and explore your human side. You can share your story, relax, cry, laugh, and grow into the person you want to be.
I know that you have the ability to thrive under the right circumstances and heal. So I focus on creating a compassionate environment for you to safely explore your thoughts and emotions. Once you experience unconditional positive regard, you’ll begin to outgrow the harsh inner critic and tap into your full potential.
Similar to tidying up your home, we’ll work on your mental space. I’ll help you examine the beliefs and stories you hold about yourself so you can let go of those narratives that no longer serve you. This new space will make room for new energy and a renewed focus to support your well-being.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I believe that therapy is most powerful when it feels human, collaborative, and grounded in real life. My work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of people’s experiences and the relationships that shape us. I am especially passionate about supporting adults and parents as they navigate stress, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that often come with family life.
With a background in both education and psychotherapy, I bring a developmental and neuroscience-informed lens to my work, helping clients better understand their emotional patterns and nervous system responses. My goal is to create a space where people feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, connection, and resilience.

Rachel Thomasian
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
With over 15 years of clinical experience, I support clients in deepening self-understanding, strengthening emotional well-being, and creating more fulfilling relationships. My work focuses on helping people move beyond limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them, so they can build healthier habits, greater self-compassion, and a stronger sense of purpose.
I believe growth is possible at every stage of life. Whether someone is navigating a transition, healing from past experiences, or striving toward personal or relational goals, I’m honored to walk alongside them as they move toward lasting change and a life that feels more aligned and satisfying.

Charles B. Walker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns—stress, anxiety, depression, and moments of feeling utterly overwhelmed. Often, we find our way through these challenges on our own. Yet, there are times when the guidance of a compassionate, licensed psychotherapist can be invaluable in restoring balance and steering your life toward greater fulfillment and joy. As your therapist, I offer more than just interventions; I provide a nurturing space to listen, understand, and actively support your path to well-being.
