Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have been in practice for almost 20 years. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and business owner who uses all my relationship experiences, both professional and personal to bring compassion, patience, and a desire to help into the therapy space. I have my masters degree from seminary, which gives me the ability to incorporate faith and existential matters into the therapy practice. My faith is very important to me and allows me the perspective of seeing each client's value and purpose here more clearly.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Mary Mallinson Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for adults dealing with childhood trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, to help clients process childhood trauma, attachment wounds, perfectionism and family of origin issues.
I work with women, adult children of immigrants, and individuals seeking deeper healing from past experiences that continue to impact their present. My services include both weekly online therapy and EMDR therapy intensives, which offer extended sessions for more focused, in-depth trauma processing.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative, helping clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward greater clarity, emotional regulation, and lasting change. All sessions are offered via telehealth for clients located in California.
