Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Relationships take a lot of work and sometimes can use a little bit of help or third party perspective. Within my experience and professional practice I have helped many couples overcome various topics and issues including "burn out" with falling out of love or passion, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, and intimacy issues. If you feel your relationship can use a bit of a tune up and support, please continue reading and contact me.
I also specialize in working with individuals with chronic illness support. With my own experience of receiving a lifelong diagnosis at an early age, I have learned effective copping and adjustment strategies to help support with chronic conditions.

Amita Khare
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I specialize in supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of trauma. My approach to healing is holistic and integrative — honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and nervous system. Together, we will explore how anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma are quietly shaping your relationships, self-worth, and sense of peace. In spite of being successful in life, you might feel that something is missing.
Using practical tools, mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed modalities, I help clients build resilience, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Healing is a journey, and I will be with you every step of the way.
