Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Josie Valderrama
Psychologist, PsyD
My approach is eclectic, inclusive and multi-modal--reflecting the complexity and paradox within each of us. I specialize at the intersection of gender, sexual and relational diversity + ethnic diversity + neurodiversity. Respectful of clients' spiritual grounding and cultural identity. Geared towards achieving greater balance, peace of mind and effectiveness in life. As a creative writer, I am seasoned in working with fellow creatives to support their generativity and self-acceptance. Often, my work is with alt high achievers addressing everyday anxieties as well as broader existential issues. Prior sojourns in Dotcom era tech, journalism and the entertainment industry inform my real-world perspective. Well-traveled, bohemian, intellectual and transpersonal within the therapeutic milieu, I collaborate with clients in both practical and transcendent processes.

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.

Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

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.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I'm Brooke Taylor, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering holistic relational trauma therapy for teens, adults, and couples across California. My work centers on helping people navigate experiences that have changed them — whether that's a loss, a life transition, a spiritual awakening, or the quiet realization that you've lost touch with your sense of safety, identity, or belonging.
I bring a collaborative, casual, and laid-back approach 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 space where your emotions, your story, and your inner wisdom are honored.
Together, we'll explore how your experiences shape the way you move through the world today, helping you process what you've been through, release old patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself and who you're becoming. Healing begins with being seen, and you don't have to do it alone.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
What makes my therapy practice exceptional is the balance I bring between heart and science. I don’t believe therapy should feel clinical or distant—it should feel human. I create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and respected, while also drawing from research-based approaches that are proven to create meaningful change. I am intentional about building genuine relationships, because I know healing happens in connection. At the same time, I stay grounded in evidence-informed methods so our work is focused, practical, and effective. My clients aren’t just supported—they’re empowered. They leave with insight, tools, and a stronger sense of themselves. Part of what makes my practice great is that it is not one-size-fits-all. It’s thoughtful, compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.
