Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

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.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
