Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
I believe therapy is a tool to self-actualization. In a society where doing is valued over being, I help people discover who they really are without the labels, titles, and neatly wrapped boxes we like to categorize ourselves in. My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-esteem issues, or navigating major life transitions, I am committed to guiding you towards lasting healing and self-discovery.

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.

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.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I recognize being a nonconformist in any way, comes with challenges. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I understand first hand the things we too commonly encounter. Despite the challenges, I recognize the power and beauty inherent in us all. When we fully embrace and embody our most authentic selves we find freedom from the expectations of others. Being on my own similar journey, I believe I am uniquely equipped to help you thrive while negotiating all life's many changes and challenges.
