Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I very much feel therapy is about my clients journey and I like to help assist their heeling in the most prudent fashion. I have a very direct, but empathetic and compassionate approach. I enjoy working with teens, adults, couples and families who are working through life changes, grief, stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. I understand that every situation is unique, and taking the next step can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your needs and work toward meaningful solutions together. If you feel ready to take that first step, I’m here to listen and walk with you on your journey toward positive change.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burdened by depression, or struggling to trust again after betrayal, you may be looking for more than temporary solutions. You want to be heard, understood, and supported in finding real relief from what's holding you back. Whether you're working through trauma, facing challenges with self-esteem, or hoping to strengthen your relationship, you deserve a safe space where your experiences matter and healing can begin. Together, we can focus on helping you regain a sense of control, recognize your value, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Maybe you've become so good at holding everything together that you hardly notice how much you're carrying anymore. You're someone others can depend on, but they may not realize how much effort it takes to keep everything going.
You might overthink decisions, put pressure on yourself to get things right, worry about disappointing people, or find that you're much better at recognizing what everyone else needs than knowing what you need yourself. Even when you're exhausted, it can be hard to slow down or stop feeling responsible for everything.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, self-doubt, and the pressure of always feeling like they should be doing more. In therapy, we'll look at what's keeping you caught in these experiences and work toward helping you recognize your needs, trust yourself more, and feel less obligated to keep pushing through.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I started Eff Shame Therapy because I believe shame is at the root of most of what brings people to therapy — and because I think it deserves to be named directly rather than tiptoed around. We are living in a world that generates shame faster than most of us can process it, and many of us are carrying wounds from abuse, trauma, and systemic harm that have never had a real place to land and heal.
I work with adults who are ready to stop managing their pain and start actually moving through it. My approach is trauma-informed, shame-free, and genuinely collaborative — I bring some of the most effective healing tools available including EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR, and I meet you exactly where you are.
This work matters to me. Not as a concept but in the room, session by session, with real people who deserve more than survival.

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!

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.
