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.

Somatic Therapy
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
My work is rooted in a deep interest in how early relational and emotional experience shapes our capacity for self-regulation, connection, desire, and meaning throughout life. I am particularly interested in how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed, yet internally experience anxiety, low mood, chronic tension or pain, self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or inaccessible. These struggles may show up in mood, behavior, the body, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely limited to any one area. Rather, they reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before words, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work integrates psychoanalytic psychotherapy, hypnosis, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis is used as a central clinical tool to support deeper internal contact and to access emotional, bodily, and unconscious material that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone.
I am interested not only in relieving symptoms-such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or behavioral patterns-but in helping people develop a more coherent and compassionate relationship with their inner life: their sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires. This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change and greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one’s body, and one’s capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.

Jacob Kajiwara
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., LMFT
In therapy with me, you’ll find a space that is conversational, collaborative, and gently challenging. I work with a mix of intellectual and emotional approaches, offering both insight and practical tools. Together, we will create a framework of both self-compassion and accountability, helping you better understand what’s getting in your way and begin making choices that reflect who you truly are.
We will explore not just your symptoms, but the larger emotional and relational themes that shape your experience. I help you trace how your protective patterns. How things like overcommitment, avoidance, self-criticism, or emotional numbness may have once served you but now hold you back from the fuller, more connected life you desire.

Lizabeth Belli
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel sustainable, you’re not alone. I work with high-functioning women who appear capable on the outside but privately struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, burnout, or the lasting impact of childhood and relational trauma.
I offer virtual therapy throughout California using a trauma-informed, somatic approach that integrates EMDR, mindfulness, and relational therapy. Therapy can be a steady place to slow down, calm your nervous system, and gently untangle coping strategies that once helped you survive but now leave you exhausted.
Together, we focus on building emotional steadiness, clearer boundaries, and greater self-trust so change feels meaningful and sustainable. If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out.
