Nes Pinar Psychotherapy

My practice is especially supportive for people navigating transitions, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet sense that something in life needs to change. I bring steadiness, creativity, and a deep respect for your lived experience, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.

Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
I am passionate about creating safety for LGBTQ and neurodivergent (ADHD/ASD) clients to take up energetic space and express their inner world. I strive to cultivate a therapeutic environment that is highly relational, playful, expressive, deep, and integrates numerous evidence based modalities to support your personal growth.

Therapy with me will feel expansive, creative, and non-judgmental. Let’s connect you with your path in life, and celebrate your uniqueness. You deserve to align with your authentic self and live joyfully. Let's get you back on track, so you can move on from survival mode and into a truly fulfilling life.

Michael Ceely
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help men like you who might be feeling a bit overwhelmed or stuck.
A lot of men are feeling the pressure to constantly grind and push, often at the expense of the things that really matter. It's like they're chasing this old idea of what success looks like, and honestly, it's just not sustainable or even that fulfilling in the long run.
Just powering through when you're stressed isn't the answer. What I offer is a different approach. Think of it as finding a clearer path forward, one where you're not constantly battling stress. I help you get clear on exactly what's stressing you out, and help you feel more confident and in control.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you create a life that feels both successful and joyful. Imagine feeling calmer, and more self-assured. Imagine actually enjoying the journey, not just striving for some distant finish line. It's about feeling good in your own skin, having strong relationships, and achieving your goals without sacrificing your peace of mind.
There is a better way to navigate life's challenges, and I'm here to help.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you having difficulty recognizing yourself lately? Do you lie awake even when you're exhausted, dread dates on the calendar no one else notices, or rehearse how to seem okay before you walk into a room? Are you trying to be everything for everyone while always putting yourself last? You don't have to keep faking it or struggling through it alone. These experiences that deserve real care. I specialize in reproductive mental health to support adults through infertility and the ache of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, the upheaval of pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, OCD and intrusive thoughts, and life with chronic pain or illness. The version of you that feels at home in your own life isn't gone. Let's go find it together.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
My goal is to provide positive therapy for change, helping people move from merely surviving to thriving. I have worked in private practice since 1999 and during that time I have developed methods that have proven helpful for a number of challenges people seek treatment for. In addition, I have spent many hours getting extra training and skills to enhance my ability to help people who may be struggling.

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.

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.
