Psychodynamic
San Francisco Counseling Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMFT, LCSW
People come to us because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. Our specialty is seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. We work with our clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Ryan James Carroll
Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to practice as a therapist; there is nothing I would rather do.
I received my training in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and now practice depth psychotherapy with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy in San Francisco.
Before becoming a therapist, I gained valuable experience working in government and business, both internationally and cross-culturally. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and complex human dynamics, deepening my capacities as a therapist.
My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on uncovering the core issues affecting individuals and couples. I hold a deeply rooted belief in the transformative power of psychotherapy to foster healing and growth.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
My Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach focuses primarily on clarifying and centering your deepest values. These values become guiding forces in learning to manage the discomforts that come with the inevitable challenges of living a life full of meaning and purpose. I also approach mental health from a multi-cultural, social justice orientation. I have extensive experience working with graduate students at high-pressured universities.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I am a somatic psychotherapist and approach therapy holistically, focusing on the mind-body-spirit. My background and training is in early childhood development, mindfulness and meditation practices, and somatic psychology. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with the body and what is coming up in the present moment using body-oriented techniques and mindfulness. I also use ancient yogic practices and approach healing considering your subtle body energy system if you are interested (e.g. chakra health, breathing techniques, movement, etc).

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me are thoughtful and capable adults who are accustomed to managing a lot of responsibility. On the surface they appear successful and composed, yet internally they may feel anxious, burned out, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense.
My work focuses on trauma, chronic stress, and the ways the nervous system adapts to long periods of pressure. I integrate EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and mind body approaches to support individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma patterns, and chronic pain or illness.
Therapy with me offers a space to slow down and understand what your system has been carrying for a long time. When these patterns begin to shift, people often experience greater clarity, steadiness, and freedom in how they move through their lives.
I offer in person therapy in West Los Angeles and secure online therapy throughout California.

Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You can’t pinpoint when it happened, but all of a sudden you don’t feel the same. You’re waking up feeling discontent and struggling to get out of bed. Sometimes, you find yourself wondering what you’re doing with yourself… You don’t feel fulfilled at all. You think you should feel great – You have the job, the friends, likes and follows from your connections… yet you still feel alone. Your inner voice is telling you something is missing.
You know something is off… but you don’t want to stay this way. You’re ready to make changes in your life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy, and ready to tackle the day. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work, and life. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want the fire back!
I’m here to help you with online consultation scheduling and services designed with you in mind. My clients appreciate my straightforward, no-jargon, real-world approach. If you are ready to feel better and get back on track, then let’s get to work. Schedule an appointment today, right now—no more waiting.

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.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have spent much of your life being the responsible one—balancing family expectations, caring for others, and striving to succeed while your own emotional needs went unseen. From the outside, your life may look accomplished, but inside you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly alone. You learned early on to prioritize everyone else’s well-being, often leaving little room to understand or care for yourself.

Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.
