Tessa Sinclair
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work with thoughtful, high-achieving adults whose lives may look successful on the outside, yet feel effortful or misaligned on the inside. Many clients come in feeling capable and inspired, but struggle with motivation, fulfillment, or sustaining balanced relationships. I offer a relational, paced approach focused on long-term, meaningful change.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi, my name is Monica Huston. I feel genuinely driven to help individuals, couples, and families work through the challenges that can feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of on your own.
My approach to therapy is thoughtful and grounded in understanding what’s beneath the surface. I pay close attention to patterns, relationships, and the ways past experiences continue to shape the present. I aim to create a space that feels both steady and honest—where you can slow down, explore what’s really going on, and begin to experience yourself and your relationships differently over time.

Wilson Ho Yin Cheh
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
I am a unique "left & right" brain therapist with multiple clinical licenses and specialties that allows me to provide effective, high impact, and outcome focused services to my clients. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I offer counseling to individuals, couples, and families. As a licensed professional counselor (LPCC), I can offer additional service scope extending to career counseling. As a licensed advance alcohol and drug counselor (LAADC) & master addiction counselor (MAC), I have deep understanding of how various forms of addictions and trauma (including screen addictions) affects individuals & relationships. Besides being a therapist, I have backgrounds in engineering, organizational leadership, higher education, and business development in Silicon Valley. I enjoy connecting with my clients at where they are at, establishing a safe and strength-based experience as we explore issues set goals, and move forward. I also enjoy helping young adults, adults, and couples to navigate through tough seasons of feeling overwhelming, experiencing loss in transitions, and dealing with painful and complex circumstances. My brief strategy approaches and tech background also fits well with those who are in high stress careers and in leadership roles. Email or call me today to schedule a FREE 15min consultation for more information.

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.
