Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi, my name is Monica Huston. I feel genuinely driven to help individuals, couples, and families work through the challenges that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of on your own.
My approach to therapy is thoughtful and grounded in understanding what’s beneath the surface. I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape the present. I aim to create a space that feels both steady and honest—where you can slow down, explore what’s really going on, and begin to experience yourself and your relationships differently over time.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, challenge you to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and offer the scaffolding 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.

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.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology doctoral program contributes new clinicians to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
