Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Josie Valderrama
Psychologist, PsyD
My approach is eclectic, inclusive and multi-modal--reflecting the complexity and paradox within each of us. I specialize at the intersection of gender, sexual and relational diversity + ethnic diversity + neurodiversity. Respectful of clients' spiritual grounding and cultural identity. Geared towards achieving greater balance, peace of mind and effectiveness in life. As a creative writer, I am seasoned in working with fellow creatives to support their generativity and self-acceptance. Often, my work is with alt high achievers addressing everyday anxieties as well as broader existential issues. Prior sojourns in Dotcom era tech, journalism and the entertainment industry inform my real-world perspective. Well-traveled, bohemian, intellectual and transpersonal within the therapeutic milieu, I collaborate with clients in both practical and transcendent processes.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~ I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - primarily on identity, confidence, anxiety, and mood related concerns. I thrive on helping others discover who they are and feel more empowered to be that person in every day life. Using evidence-based interventions to assist my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice.
As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Amita Khare
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of trauma. My approach to healing is holistic and integrative — honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and nervous system. Together, we will explore how anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma are quietly shaping your relationships, self-worth, and sense of peace. In spite of being successful in life, you might feel that something is missing.
Using practical tools, mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed modalities, I help clients build resilience, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Healing is a journey, and I will be with you every step of the way.

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.
