Psychodynamic Therapy
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.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
Hi, I'm Jasmine! I work with high-functioning adults who are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and carrying a lot—often at the expense of their own needs. Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded way. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, integrating somatic therapy to support lasting change—not just symptom relief. I offer in-person sessions in Brea, CA and online sessions across California and Arizona.

Anna Barrios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. My best childhood memories are family road trips between Mexico and the USA. I learned at an early age that diversity was something to cherish, and yet I realized that differences can lead to division. With this in mind, I decided to pursue a degree in social work. I chose to focus on mental health in order to be a catalyst for hope and healing in my community. I have worked with nonprofit organizations, schools, and State agencies delivering best-practice mental health services. Currently, I provide tele-health services in three States. I am a bilingual therapist- Spanish. and I specialize in helping adults process childhood trauma due to family substance use, domestic abuse and neglect. The focus is to treat the anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with relationships, challenges in parenting, and a host of issues that may result from unresolved pain. I believe that healing is a journey we do not have to travel alone.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be successful in many areas of your life and yet find yourself struggling internally. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in recurring relationship patterns, or questioning the direction your life is taking. Maybe you're carrying grief, navigating a major transition, or simply sensing that something important is asking for your attention.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to your experience. Together, we'll explore not only the challenges that bring you to therapy, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, beliefs, and life experiences that may be shaping them. As insight develops, new possibilities for growth and change can emerge.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I believe that symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of emptiness often have important stories to tell. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, I help clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles while developing practical ways to create greater balance, resilience, and well-being in daily life.
Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives, I support clients in exploring recurring patterns, strengthening self-awareness, healing old wounds, and cultivating a more authentic relationship with themselves.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults 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.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
My Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach focuses primarily on clarifying and centering your deepest values. These values become guiding forces in learning to manage the discomforts that come with the inevitable challenges of living a life full of meaning and purpose. I also approach mental health from a multi-cultural, social justice orientation. I have extensive experience working with graduate students at high-pressured universities.
