Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or just not like yourself. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe work consumes everything. Maybe you’re wondering, is this really it?
Many of the folks I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re functioning. But they’re carrying stress, loneliness, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a growing sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
I help folks like you navigate that stress, depression, those relationship challenges, life transitions, parenthood, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with modern life. My approach is straightforward, practical, and jargon-free.
Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and help you build a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you want to be.
Stop scrolling, stop second-guessing, and take the next step. Schedule your free 20-minute consultation today. The life you’re looking for won’t change until you do!

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I'm from Los Angeles, where I still live, and I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University. Over the past five years I've worked across private practice, community mental health, and school-based settings, where I developed a real love for trauma work with teens.
My approach is holistic, with attention to the mind, body, and spirit. I see therapy as deeply collaborative, and I believe every teen is capable of healing when they're connected with support that actually fits them. That fit matters more than almost anything else, a teen who feels talked at or managed will politely wait out the hour, and not much will change.
Naturally, most teens don't arrive thrilled about talking to a stranger. Some are guarded, some are exhausted, some agreed to come mostly to get you off their back. I get it, I've been there myself. My aim is to meet your teen where they are and build a relationship steady enough that they can lean on it on the heavier days. That usually takes a few sessions, and it's normal for progress to look like very little for a while before it looks like something.
I'm trained in several modalities, including EMDR, parts work, Gestalt, CRM, and TRM. Rather than list more acronyms, I'd be glad to talk through what your teen is dealing with and answer any questions you have.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
The concept of Alchemy Door is simple: During session we hone the practice of self-discovery, and then what you are seeking begins to automatically manifest in your life. This practice of self-discovery can take many different forms, and is always tailored to what is most compelling for you in the moment, and what is the best fit for your interests (for example, some people prefer guided meditation, while for others a shamanic journey is desired, and still others prefer working with archetypes, or with the I-Ching... there are many possibilities available). Perhaps the beginning of the journey is dealing with an obstinate obstacle in your life. Or perhaps you have had drug experiences that you need to process. Or trauma. Or a spontaneous awakening. At the end of the day, all of our work together is preparation for dropping into the present moment. Then, the journey is all that matters, and the destination is icing on the cake.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.
