Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as a whole person, not a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. My style is warm, curious, collaborative, and down to earth. I value humor, honesty, compassion, and creating a space where you do not have to perform, have everything figured out, or leave important parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
I am especially drawn to working with people who think and feel deeply, experience anxiety or overwhelm, or are searching for a more sustainable way of moving through life. I want to understand what you are struggling with, but also who you are, what matters to you, what has shaped you, and what your mind and body may be communicating about what you need.
There is room in therapy for the personal and the political, for grief and anger, for relationships and identity, and for conversations about work, community, nature, oppressive systems, social conditions, and the world around us. My hope is to help you build a deeper relationship with yourself and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and genuinely yours.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Do you feel discouraged or are you dealing with worry, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or loneliness? Your struggles with self-esteem, trauma, or parenting may be preventing the quality of life you seek. You have the possibility to find solutions and relief.
We all have difficult moments in our lives. Any issue you have is not too large or small to unravel with guidance. You can address issues creating isolation, distraction, or unhappiness. Can you envision yourself opening doors to increased comfort? The sense of wanting change can lead to solutions.
Over the last 30 years, I have provided help in evaluating clients' struggles. My goal is to provide a respectful and safe place where we can work to set goals. There are specific techniques to develop understanding and possible new ways for coping. Each person's struggle is unique. I have supervised interns and worked in both nonprofit and private practice. My clients benefit from my work with a National/International Professional Affiliation

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.
