Ryan Dalusag LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You are not alone. It feels completely isolating to struggle with heavy emotions like depression or anxiety, but you don’t have to do it yourself - I am available to help you navigate through it. As a Filipino-American queer male, my practice is geared towards helping individuals that struggle with identity, lingering traumas, or fear and worry about their future especially those within the Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and LGBTQ+ communities. Seeking help and talking about some of our darkest and most difficult moments can be really challenging. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
As a therapist and clinical counselor, I help to hold the weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, and relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. There is beauty in showing up for yourself, and bravery in turning towards struggle. When we deny our struggle, we deny a part of us that is longing to be seen. Struggle and suffering are hard to face, as it often leaves us feeling broken. Many of us were never taught to embrace our flaws and imperfections. What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves, the parts of us that are scarred, and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency?
The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves, the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty. My work is based on the hope that we can step into our authentic selves, to feel without shame, accept our darkness, live mindfully in our own light, and recognize that who we are is enough.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
<p>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. <p><p>
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). <p><p>
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.

Tanya Desloover
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CADCII
If you are looking for support and guidance to resolve issues which have left you feeling powerless, or if you are just hitting a rough spot in your life, I believe that through therapeutic approaches, together we can conquer your fears to resolve issues from your past that are contributing to behavior patterns (e.g., anxiety, depression) and negative perceptions that keep you from feeling empowered. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I am passionate about collaborating with clients so they can become empowered to become their authentic selves. As an EMDR therapist, my perspective is helping clients get past their limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and feelings about themselves.
My background of 20 years spent as therapist and Clinical Director of a southern CA program, and in private practice, treating clients with substance use disorders, has informed my practice to help others address, not only that issue, but the underlying disorders that accompany substance use (anxiety, depression, transitions). It takes courage to face your fears, and I offer a nonjudgmental, secure holding place to heal. We will work together to support you becoming empowered to courageously face your challenges.
I am primarily offering telehealth/online counseling from the comfort of your confidential home location, through a secure, confidential network platform.

Dr. Christina Charlotin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My goal in my work is to empower you to break away from the chronic emotions, thought patterns, behaviors and outcomes that do not serve you. When setting our treatment goals, we’ll discuss what you’d like to gain, what you’d like to keep, & what you’d choose to no longer experience. With that information, we’ll work towards creating your version of happiness.
