Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I've been a therapist for over 30 years and bring warmth, curiosity, intuition, and an open mind to my work. I can also be direct when I think it will be helpful. I especially enjoy working with thoughtful, self-aware people who are looking for real change—not just insight into what's happening, but new ways of experiencing themselves, their relationships, and their lives. I see therapy as a collaborative process, and I bring both my experience and genuine curiosity to each person I work with.
If you're wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation. It's a chance to tell me a little about what you're looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

Roanne de Guia-Samuels
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CChT
Tried talk therapy and you're body's still left reactive? Tried somatic (bodywork) approaches and your mind is left confused? Why choose one? Sustained healing includes the mind and body so that your body can stop being in survival mode and your mind rewired for calm. My practice merges psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and bodywork because healing should treat the "whole" you not merely parts of you. In-office or Online services available.

I offer warm, direct, collaborative, and evidence-based depth psychotherapy for simple and complex/developmental trauma. I work from a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens, addressing all of these elements in understanding and treating difficult symptoms. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic preparation and integration services. I welcome clients from all walks of life but focus mostly on the LGBTQ+ community.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I regard psychotherapy as a sacred practice, a place of ongoing devotion. Each session becomes a ritual space where creativity, playfulness, and curiosity are welcomed in the exploration of the psyche. By staying present and returning again and again to openness, the unknown can be transformed into meaning. This process often carries us into the work of intergenerational healing, allowing energy to return as we reconnect with our roots and uncover our truest selves.
In my work with couples, I bring the same relational lens that shapes my individual sessions. A relationship already exists in the room, and I enter into that field with care, gradually weaving myself into its trust. Relational therapy, for me, means working with what is alive in the “here and now,” while also tracing those patterns back to their origins in the “there and then.” Humor and warmth remain vital companions in this work, helping clients stay resourced as we navigate difficult terrain together.
My path as a therapist has been shaped by a commitment to both social and spiritual liberation. My training in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies grounded me in depth psychology, while my years in community mental health equipped me with cultural humility, liberation psychology, and healing justice frameworks. Earlier work as a birth worker continues to inform my perspective, reminding me that therapy often mirrors the process of bringing something new into being.
I believe every person deserves to rediscover belonging — within themselves, within their bodies, and within the larger web of community and world. In our sessions, you will be supported in recovering what has been lost and discovering what longs to emerge. Our work will unfold at the pace of safety and trust, always guided by trauma-informed care. When you are ready, I will invite you into deeper attunement with your body and its messages, so you may listen more fully to its wisdom. It is my honor to accompany clients in this healing journey.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you having difficulty recognizing yourself lately? Do you lie awake even when you're exhausted, dread dates on the calendar no one else notices, or rehearse how to seem okay before you walk into a room? Are you trying to be everything for everyone while always putting yourself last? You don't have to keep faking it or struggling through it alone. These experiences that deserve real care. I specialize in reproductive mental health to support adults through infertility and the ache of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, the upheaval of pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, OCD and intrusive thoughts, and life with chronic pain or illness. The version of you that feels at home in your own life isn't gone. Let's go find it together.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.
