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.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi. My name is Luis Maimoni. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships of all kinds.
No matter who you are, or where you're coming from, you are the one who will determine where your story begins. I'll meet you where you're at and focus on your strengths. We'll collaborate to find and treat the root cause of your presenting concerns.
Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" (family and community). Tribes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, flavors and configurations (I was raised in a multilingual and multicultural home). Our tribes shape how we feel, how we think, how we relate to others, and how others relate to us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes it's hard to know).
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.

Dr. Lori Lynn Mann
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Psy.D.
Ever feel stuck? Maybe you are bogged down with thoughts, memories, or uncomfortable feelings. Or maybe you are just itching for a change in your life. I am a licensed psychotherapist with an additional doctorate degree. I help individuals, couples, and families throughout Orange County & LA County. My approach is one where I aim for you to feel comfortable from the very beginning. No cookie cutter model here...I will find a way to meet you where you are at and work toward your therapy goals. I'm an accomplice toward helping you feel heard and validated in your journey...because life, after all, through the good and the bad, is a journey, isn't it? We will work together through the highs and lows, the conflicts internally and externally, re-group when thought processes get us in a rut, and focus on full mind-body health. I walk the walk in wellness in that it is my life mission to help better the lives of others. I am a semi-professional marathon runner and creator of the mind-body wellness brand, TIER Wellness, that encourages others to reach the next TIER in their lives.
