Jeffrey Newburg
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MS
The judgments come from all sides – your family, peers, and the church. For such a long time, you’ve heard their toxic words, “You’re not good enough.” “You’re broken.” “You’re worthless.” And the worst part is, you've started to believe it yourself. The external chorus of criticism has become indistinguishable from the voice in your mind. You've carried the weight of these unfair judgments admirably – constantly pushing forward and doing what you need to survive. But you can feel yourself slowly crumbling under the pressure. You can’t go on like this. But your shame has become so familiar that you’re unsure how to live without it.
Don’t give up – life can be so much better. Using the powerful modalities of EMDR and Brainspotting, I can help you heal your trauma and dismantle self-critical shame. Together we’ll work to restore your calm and self-compassion. And, through our work together, we’ll help you experience ease in your body and tap into a newfound sense of joy and creativity.
Stop letting the judgments of other people determine your self-worth. Start treating yourself with the care, compassion, and forgiveness you deserve. Develop the confidence to create the relationships, career, and life you’ve always dreamed of. You don’t have to do this alone. Call me today for your free 20-minute consultation, and let's get started!

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have the utmost honor and care for my clients who enlist their trust in me to walk side by side with them on this rich, vulnerable, intimate, and sometimes challenging journey toward transformation. I am passionate about helping people fully awaken in their lives, even amidst the collective trauma we are currently experiencing. In learning how to access your vast unconscious world, you will have an increase in self-awareness, developing a more intimate and authentic relationship with yourself and others. Together, with curiosity, we can examine the the roots beneath your anxiety, often discovering defenses, coping mechanisms and survival strategies that are no longer serving you. In a safe, empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment, I will lovingly challenge you to look at your constructed narratives and unhealthy patterns, while exploring your conscious and unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and the world. I believe the deepest healing comes from feeling all of the feelings you were unsafe to feel when you were a child, perhaps unlocking emotion you didn't know how to express. Time and time again, I've seen this lead to less somatic symptoms, less physical and emotional suffering, a deeper sense of self-trust, and a profound sense of freedom. I've had the honor of working with clients "in the room" for 14 years, supervising associate therapists for 9 years, and teaching graduate psychology students in the LGBTQ specialization at Antioch University for 4 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with the LGBTQ population, creatives in the entertainment industry (showrunners, writers, directors, producers, actors, network executives, etc), parents, codependency, relational issues and trauma. My approach is experiential and depth-oriented, integrating psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, EMDR and EFT. I believe these modalities lend to a meaningful and rich therapeutic relationship, leading to fully integrated and lasting change.

I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!
