Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Theo Kuczek
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
In order for therapy to be effective, you need to trust and like your therapist. My style leans toward being both compassionate and direct. I like to educate my clients on the process of healing and personal growth to empower them to make the changes they want in their lives. Whether you're looking to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety or depression, looking for a new perspective on things, or desiring more confidence, my style adapts to accommodate your unique situation. I think it’s important to not only help clients alleviate symptoms and fix problems, but also cultivate enthusiasm for the self-reflection process and inspire their personal growth.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
I can make this very easy for you - unless you’re looking for a specific technique the only way to tell if your therapist is a good fit is by being in a relationship with them. This can be virtual or in person, but we’ve known for a long time that the primary determining factor in successful therapy is the alliance. While a resume and creds may be a starting point, I think you’ll find it’s rarely a deciding factor.
-
For therapy to "work" you have to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable you need to feel safe. To feel safe you need to trust. This is the first layer of a deep, intimate, successful relationship that I model. Some people have never experienced this before - the idea that you can be heard, truly and deeply and not be judged, blamed or put in a box.
Walk with me - you're not alone in this.

Eric Pierson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I firmly believe that having an unwavering belief in the capacity of humans to make their lives better is an important foundation of the work that I do. It is not always easy, but with the right support, and the right tools, people can make sense of their problems, and make the changes they need to build a life more in line with how they want to live.

Alison Alderdice
Psychologist, PsyD
Some people come to me overwhelmed, exhausted, and insecure. Others need help with an important life decision. My approach is active and collaborative: I trust their knowledge of themselves and offer my insights, skills, and training to achieve lasting change and healing. Together, we identify ways to align their daily lives and environments with their long-term goals and values. We turn avoidance into action and integrate unaccepted aspects of themselves through mindfulness and self-compassion. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I am passionate about helping people reduce their suffering and build lives they find meaningful and fulfilling.

I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

Tatiana Ecoiffier Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I believe deeply in the power of therapy—so much so that I chose to leave a successful career in the biotechnology industry to pursue this path. I have seen again and again that change is possible, that life can feel lighter, and that a sense of ease within ourselves is attainable. My hope is for everyone to have access to this inner alignment; not only does it help us navigate the uncertainty of life but it also creates the foundation for authentic connection and community in a world that can feel divided.
Therapy can be as simple as a conversation or as challenging as allowing ourselves to just be. I am here for the full journey! I am often moved to tears when someone discovers a truth about themselves that has long been waiting to be found. There is nothing more powerful than witnessing a door open that had been closed for too long—watching the heaviness lift and the fresh air of possibility flow in.
