Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of the clients I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-worth, or unresolved trauma. Some are navigating burnout or relationship struggles and aren't sure where to begin — they just know they want something to change. My role is to help clients reconnect with themselves, uncover new insight, and build a more grounded, meaningful life.
I also support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDR-trained therapist offering online therapy for adults throughout California. My approach combines trauma-informed care, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), parts work, and other evidence-based tools to support lasting change. I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and pace, offering a compassionate space where healing feels possible and manageable.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Hi there! I believe therapy doesn’t have to last forever. People often seek support during pivotal moments in life when challenges feel overwhelming, and they’re ready for change. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to become your own therapist, equipping you to navigate life’s ups and downs long after our work together ends. To achieve this, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Schema Therapy.

Sarah Easton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You are about to begin an important journey to explore your struggles, connection with yourself and others, and how you can live in deeper alignment with your values. You might be challenged by your intimate relationships, you may be dealing with a chronic illness, the loss of a loved one, feeling overwhelmed or stagnant. You might want to cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I believe that traditional talk therapy can be powerful alone, but integrating mindfulness of the body can more adequately address experiences in the present moment and help transform deeply ingrained beliefs or patterns. I will encourage you to move beneath words and life stories, so experiences can be felt and understood, allowing your innate wisdom to support change. I will also integrate behavioral therapies to help you cultivate the necessary skills for building a sense of emotional resilience and nurturing healthy relationships. You don't have to be alone on your journey. Therapy is a courageous act, a gesture of willingness to turn towards your inner world. Together, we will create a safe and supportive space for reflection and change on your path towards healing, growth, and reclaiming of your life.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I’m Brooke Taylor, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering holistic relational trauma therapy and grief counseling for teens, adults and couples across California. My work centers on helping you reconnect with yourself after loss whether that loss is external, like the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship, or internal, like losing touch with your sense of safety, identity, or belonging.
I bring a collaborative, casual, and laid-back approach to therapy, grounded in compassion and curiosity. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to meet you where you’re at, creating a space where your emotions, stories, and inner wisdom are honored.
Together, we’ll explore how early experiences and relationships shape the way you move through the world today, helping you process grief, release old patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself. Healing begins with being seen, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I’m a queer, non-binary psychologist committed to providing inclusive, identity-affirming care for LGBTQIAA+ and BIPOC communities. I became a therapist to support individuals like myself—people navigating complex identities in a world that doesn’t always make space for them—and because I witnessed loved ones struggle to access the mental health support they deserved.
Therapy with me is a space to be seen and heard fully—where you can rewrite harmful narratives, reclaim your truth, and move toward healing on your own terms.
