Tessa Sinclair
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi there, I'm glad you're here. You're smart, high-achieving, and inspired, but struggle to get motivated and put your ideas into action. Your life checks the boxes, yet you have a hard time more often than you like to admit - especially in comparison with the suffering of others. You want your work to be fulfilling, not just a means to an end; and you're looking for satisfying, balanced relationships with coworkers, partners, family and friends.
You're not alone!

Erin Gienger
Marriage and Family Therapist, Pre-licensed AMFT
I provide a safe space for clients to process whatever emotions or responses they may be experiencing. I have over 3,500 hours of experience doing therapy with various types of clients. I recently graduated from an MFT program and have enjoyed interacting with a new set of clients. I am particularly interested in working with clients who have had trauma, abuse, or difficulty with life transitions. I make myself available to give clients the ability to process their lives in a new way. If you believe I could be a good fit for you as your therapist, please get in touch with me.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation. We help you learn how to ground your life in relational intelligence that brings stability to your life that your emotions then calibrate around.

Ever After Individual and Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Ever After Therapy was born out of a deep belief that families and individuals can rewrite their stories, no matter how challenging the past has been. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I’ve spent my career helping people navigate the complexities of relationships, mental health, and personal transformation. Our approach—rooted in evidence-based practices—centers on fostering connection, emotional resilience, and lasting change.

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.

Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I’m a queer, non-binary psychologist committed to providing inclusive, identity-affirming care for LGBTQIAA+ and BIPOC communities. I became a therapist to support individuals like myself—people navigating complex identities in a world that doesn’t always make space for them—and because I witnessed loved ones struggle to access the mental health support they deserved.
Therapy with me is a space to be seen and heard fully—where you can rewrite harmful narratives, reclaim your truth, and move toward healing on your own terms.

Briana Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m passionate about supporting adult professionals and/or creatives experiencing fears, sadness, low self-esteem, BIPOC racial trauma and racial identity issues, and other unresolved traumas and emotional pain. I also work with women who are trying to manage the emotional and physical challenges of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Many clients I've worked with feel disconnected from their identity and passions, weighed down by past and present pain - and in my sessions, I help those clients grieve, heal, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self in order to help them live meaningfully.
If any of this this resonates with what you want for your life, I'd love to also help support YOU!
