Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In all honesty, finding a therapist you actually click with can be tough. That’s why I keep things warm, fun (yes we laugh), and completely judgment free. As your therapist, my goal is for you to have a place to just be yourself while we work through whatever is causing you stress or discomfort. I bring a mix of genuine empathy and practical, real-world tools to the table, meaning we won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll actively collaborate to get you unstuck.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety/depression, relationship stress (any type of relationship), a major life shift, burnout, perfectionism, confidence issues, trauma, infertility/postpartum struggles, or just want to understand yourself a bit better, I’m here to help you navigate it all.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
With 26 years of clinical experience, I provide compassionate, personalized therapy that looks beyond symptoms to understand the whole person. As a Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Certified Trauma Therapist, I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and painful childhood experiences.
My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and inner child work. Treatment is carefully paced and centered on emotional safety, trust, stabilization, and each client’s individual strengths and goals.
I offer culturally responsive, nonjudgmental telehealth therapy throughout California in English and Farsi. At Everlasting Positive Change, clients are welcomed with compassion and supported as they move toward healing, confidence, and meaningful change.

Esther Park
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I believe children, teens, and adults need space to be understood not only in what they say, but also in how they play, create, and experience the world around them. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies. In simpler terms, I care about identifying root emotions and experiences as well as your unique experience in the room as we meet. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe enough to be their authentic selves, knowing they do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I believe that building trust, safety, and good rapport takes time and continues to matter throughout the therapeutic process—not just during the first few sessions.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You don't have to continue pretending you are perfectly fine. Whether you are an eldest daughter, only daughter, or mom, you may have learned early on to take on more responsibility in relationships. Deep down, you may be struggling with believing your needs are important. Carrying heavy family expectations, chronic guilt, and the pressure to be perfect takes a heavy physical and emotional toll. If you're exhausted from self-neglect and feel like your tired of taking on more responsibility, this is the space for you. I help oldest daughters, only daughters and those who grew up with more responsibility feel safe in their body.
I'm Kenia an LMFT with 9 years of experience helping high achieving, women heal from childhood trauma and break the cycle of survival patterns.
Working together we use somatic therapy to release stored survival tension and nervous system stress. Explore complex family dynamics without losing yourself. Rebuild self-trust, repair confidence, and feel secure in who you are.
My approach is grounding, nurturing and empowering. Ready to take the first step? Call me or text me to book your free 15 minute consultation.
