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.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
At a personal level, I value substance over presentation, meaningful connection over polished appearances, and honesty delivered with care. I am curious about people, loyal in my relationships, and rarely interested in the easy or rehearsed answer. I appreciate intelligence, humor, directness, and the kind of conversation that makes time disappear.
My life has made me attentive to what people carry quietly and to the distance that can exist between how a life appears and how it actually feels. I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to question what we have inherited, live with greater intention, and build something honest from the experiences that have changed us.
I am committed to showing up thoughtfully and consistently, honoring the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s inner life. This work matters to me because it offers the possibility of greater clarity, connection, and integrity, both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. I believe there is something quietly powerful about understanding yourself well enough to make choices rooted in truth rather than fear, expectation, or approval.

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Welcome to my profile. My name is Dana Fogel-Stark and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder and Couple/Relational Issues. I have been licensed as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and in full time private practice in the heart of Calabasas. My therapeutic approach is eclectic focused on both helping clients gain insight and awareness as to the origin and cause of their struggles as well as helping clients gain the tools and coping mechanisms needed to overcome their challenges. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific presenting issues that the client is facing. I create a personalized treatment approach with every new client based on their specific needs. I use Evidence Based Therapy to treat obsessive worries and ruminations, physical manifestations of anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with perfectionism/performance anxiety. My passion for using CBT is that I get to witness significant improvement with clients in a short period of time. In addition to CBT I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention as well as teaching emotional intelligence in my work with clients. I look forward to working with you.

Janie Venturina
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Parents of tweens and teens rarely call because of one clear problem. They call because something shifted, their kid stopped talking, and the house feels tense in a way it did not last year. I work with tweens and teens between 11 and 18 who are anxious, down on themselves, quick to anger, or struggling with friendships, and I work with their parents at the same time. Before joining Evidence Based Psychological Care I spent a year and a half as a school-based therapist, which means I have watched these patterns play out during the school day and not only in a parent's description of them. In session I am active rather than quiet. We name what sets a teen off, we build skills they will use, and we work on what happens at home. I have appointments after school, in the evening, and on Saturday mornings, and I can usually see a new family within the week.
