Elvina Inzano (legal name: vincent inzano)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 164356
I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself(selves) as integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being(s) (soma) and reprocessing what your soma(s) hold. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you , learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.

Michelle King Rayfield
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I know that people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals and then create a road map to achieving them. I focus on relationships & couples counseling, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I have held roles of Clinical Director and Therapist in a number of addiction treatment centers in Southern California. My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through our struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MS
Our sense of safety is vital to our health in our relationships, work, and creative life. When our safety feels threatened by past trauma or current suffering in relationship, we go into survival mode. We isolate from others in fear of getting hurt again. But healing happens in relationship. Building the safety and trust you need, I will walk with you in your healing process and help you move out of survival and into thriving in your relationship with yourself and others. Using clinically validated modalities like EMDR, we will move out of the stuck places of self-criticism and shame, and into the growth fueled by compassion.
Life can be beautiful again. Using powerful modalities like EMDR and Ketamine Assisted EMDR (KA-EMDR), we can heal your trauma and get you grounded once again. I will lean on my experience, and we will cocreate the therapy you need. And, through our work together, we’ll help you experience ease in your body and peace in your mind.
Stop letting the pain of your past and the judgments of others define you. Start treating yourself with the care and compassion you deserve. Develop the confidence to create the relationships, career, and life you want. You don’t have to carry this alone. Call me today for your free 20-minute consultation, and let's begin the journey together.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.
