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.

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.

Lisa Abdilova 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.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal well-being. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
