Pleasant Hill, California therapist: Samantha Schaefer, licensed clinical social worker
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Samantha Schaefer

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

Nashville, Tennessee therapist: ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare, psychologist
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare

Psychologist, PhD, HSP, PSYPACT+California
At ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare, we specialize in evidence-based therapy and psychological assessment for complex, co-occurring mental health conditions, with a focus on ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma, insomnia, and chronic illness. Our psychologist-led team understands that many clients come to us after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or stuck in treatments that didn’t quite fit. We take a neuroaffirming, science-informed approach, recognizing that your brain, identity, and lived experience all matter. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your unique “neurotype” and build a personalized plan that supports real, sustainable change. Our services are designed for individuals whose challenges are often interconnected—because conditions like ADHD, autism, trauma, and OCD rarely occur in isolation. Through comprehensive assessments, specialized therapies (ERP, ACT, CBT, EMDR, CBT-I), and executive function coaching, we help you gain clarity, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life. ScienceWorks offers secure telehealth services across California and PSYPACT-participating states, making expert care more accessible wherever you are. We also coordinate with prescribers and other providers when needed, creating a more integrated and effective treatment experience. Our practice was founded by Dr. Kiesa Kelly, a clinical psychologist and former professor, whose work is grounded in both research and lived experience. This perspective shapes our commitment to providing care that is not only evidence-based, but also compassionate, affirming, and deeply human. If you’re looking for therapy that truly understands complexity—and helps you move toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful change—we’re here to help.

Oakland, California therapist: Alana Morazzini, licensed clinical social worker
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Alana Morazzini

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many people were never given the space to understand what they truly feel — taught early on to push past vulnerability and keep moving, often losing touch with their deeper needs, wants, and inner conflicts along the way. I work with individuals and couples alike, with a particular focus on those navigating conflict and communication struggles in their relationships, as well as those facing major life transitions — including postpartum mood challenges and midlife adjustments. Drawing on attachment-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we work on the foundations beneath your current struggles — ultimately opening up new ways of reacting, understanding, and relating to yourself and your past. Therapy offers choices, and while familiar patterns may feel safe, the goal is to give you the freedom to choose differently.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Hi there! I believe therapy doesn’t have to last forever. People often seek support during pivotal moments in life when challenges feel overwhelming, and they’re ready for change. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to become your own therapist, equipping you to navigate life’s ups and downs long after our work together ends. To achieve this, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Schema Therapy.

Oakland, California therapist: Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist, licensed clinical social worker
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life. I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.
