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.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have the utmost honor and care for my clients who enlist their trust in me to walk side by side with them on this rich, vulnerable, intimate, and sometimes challenging journey toward transformation. I am passionate about helping people fully awaken in their lives, even amidst the collective trauma we are currently experiencing. In learning how to access your vast unconscious world, you will have an increase in self-awareness, developing a more intimate and authentic relationship with yourself and others. Together, with curiosity, we can examine the the roots beneath your anxiety, often discovering defenses, coping mechanisms and survival strategies that are no longer serving you. In a safe, empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment, I will lovingly challenge you to look at your constructed narratives and unhealthy patterns, while exploring your conscious and unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and the world. I believe the deepest healing comes from feeling all of the feelings you were unsafe to feel when you were a child, perhaps unlocking emotion you didn't know how to express. Time and time again, I've seen this lead to less somatic symptoms, less physical and emotional suffering, a deeper sense of self-trust, and a profound sense of freedom. I've had the honor of working with clients "in the room" for 14 years, supervising associate therapists for 9 years, and teaching graduate psychology students in the LGBTQ specialization at Antioch University for 4 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with the LGBTQ population, creatives in the entertainment industry (showrunners, writers, directors, producers, actors, network executives, etc), parents, codependency, relational issues and trauma. My approach is experiential and depth-oriented, integrating psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, EMDR and EFT. I believe these modalities lend to a meaningful and rich therapeutic relationship, leading to fully integrated and lasting change.
