Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I love working with women, especially women of color. When working with women, I try to understand both the client's unique experience and the greater societal factors that often impact a woman's mental health. I work with women struggling with many issues including anxiety and depression, parenting, codependency, body image, sexual abuse, and relationship violence. I also work with many high-achieving, successful women who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, and relationship issues.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Women often carry multiple roles and responsibilities, balancing careers, relationships, caregiving, family expectations, and personal goals while trying to care for everyone around them. Over time, these demands can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and feeling disconnected from yourself. You may find yourself putting your own needs last, struggling with boundaries, or wondering why you feel overwhelmed despite doing everything you can.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where women can openly explore the challenges they're facing without judgment. Whether you're navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, motherhood, infertility, pregnancy or postpartum adjustment, grief, trauma, workplace stress, or questions surrounding identity and self-worth, therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthy boundaries, reduce anxiety, and build greater confidence and resilience. If past trauma or unhealthy relationship patterns continue to influence your present, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds while creating new ways of responding to life's challenges.
Our approach is collaborative and culturally responsive, recognizing that every woman's experiences are shaped by her personal history, relationships, culture, values, and identities. We strive to create an affirming environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make choices that align with your authentic self. You deserve support just as much as the people you care for. Therapy offers an opportunity to reconnect with your strengths, prioritize your well-being, and create a life that reflects your values, needs, and goals. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Women's mental health encompasses a uniquely complex set of experiences — shaped by biology, relationships, identity, cultural expectations, and the relentless pressure to manage everything without showing the strain. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, infertility, perimenopause, relationship issues, trauma, and the particular challenges of being a woman in high-demand personal and professional roles. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help women build genuine resilience, reclaim their sense of self, and live with greater clarity and intention. Telehealth therapy for women available across 40+ states.

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 training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
