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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
“I would rather be whole than good.” – Carl Jung
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, pleasing, or simply surviving and step into a more whole, honest version of yourself, I’d be honored to work with you. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, relational therapy, Gestalt awareness, and certified sex therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with Black and POC adults and couples who want deeper connection, authenticity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready to choose wholeness, I invite you to reach out.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Gestalt Therapy
Lorraine Schwartz
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA LMFT
I am a warm, straight forward & occasionally a funny therapist who will ask you a lot of questions to help you find your own authentic answers. I speak plainly & provide a non-judgmental, safe environment where we can explore what's going on in your world at your pace using traditional talk therapy and/or EMDR. I believe sometimes we learn early on that in order to stay safe we need to hide parts of who we really are and to not express our needs. Sometimes we do this too well and for too long. We can work together so you learn to re-connect to those parts of yourself that have stayed hidden. We can work to develop the ability to understand what your needs are and how have them met. The body is designed to propel itself towards health like it does when healing a cut on the skin or getting better from a cold. The same is true for our brain & our mental health. We are designed to heal.

Dina Cuervo
Psychologist, PhD
People come to me in a vulnerable state, stressed, managing pain from a trauma, hurting from their relationships, riddled with anxiety or uncertain about their futures. When someone begins therapy, I prioritize understanding and helping the person discover their initial need whether it be support, validation, or hope that life can get better. I meet them here first. It may be difficult to believe, but the heaviness can be lifted, and change is possible. Online therapy makes me accessible despite distance, while saving you time on a commute, you don't have to get childcare, and you can stay in the comforts of your own home.

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.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Oregon. Many couples come to me feeling stuck, unseen, or like they’re speaking different languages. Sometimes there’s neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), past trauma, or years of miscommunication that usual advice doesn’t touch. My style is direct, compassionate, and real—I bring humor, honesty, and respect into sessions while helping you uncover the patterns beneath conflict. I specialize in helping partners reconnect, improve intimacy, and rebuild trust. You don’t have to be perfect or throw away your life together to reclaim closeness and resilience. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and find a deeper way forward, I’d love to support you in creating a relationship that feels like “us” again.
