Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Welcome to my profile. My name is Dana Fogel-Stark and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder and Couple/Relational Issues. I have been licensed as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and in full time private practice in the heart of Calabasas. My therapeutic approach is eclectic focused on both helping clients gain insight and awareness as to the origin and cause of their struggles as well as helping clients gain the tools and coping mechanisms needed to overcome their challenges. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific presenting issues that the client is facing. I create a personalized treatment approach with every new client based on their specific needs. I use Evidence Based Therapy to treat obsessive worries and ruminations, physical manifestations of anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with perfectionism/performance anxiety. My passion for using CBT is that I get to witness significant improvement with clients in a short period of time. In addition to CBT I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention as well as teaching emotional intelligence in my work with clients. I look forward to working with you.

Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Oxnard is Ventura County's largest city and a predominantly Hispanic agricultural and industrial center — the county is one of California's most productive strawberry, lemon, and vegetable growing regions — with a therapy community deeply shaped by the experiences of farmworker families navigating immigration stress, seasonal income volatility, and limited English-language access to mainstream mental health services. The city's proximity to Naval Base Ventura County creates additional demand for military-oriented therapists alongside the largely Latino civilian therapy market. St. John's Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources for the area, while the therapy community overall remains relatively sparse relative to the city's population. Bilingual Spanish-English therapists perform essential access work in a city where language barriers significantly limit engagement with standard English-language mental health care.
