Long Beach, California therapist: Zena Caputo, marriage and family therapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Zena Caputo

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Oakland, California therapist: Alana Morazzini, licensed clinical social worker
Psychodynamic Therapy

Alana Morazzini

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many people were never given the space to understand what they truly feel — taught early on to push past vulnerability and keep moving, often losing touch with their deeper needs, wants, and inner conflicts along the way. I work with individuals and couples alike, with a particular focus on those navigating conflict and communication struggles in their relationships, as well as those facing major life transitions — including postpartum mood challenges and midlife adjustments. Drawing on attachment-centered and trauma-informed approaches, we work on the foundations beneath your current struggles — ultimately opening up new ways of reacting, understanding, and relating to yourself and your past. Therapy offers choices, and while familiar patterns may feel safe, the goal is to give you the freedom to choose differently.

San Francisco, California therapist: Talia Chanoff, marriage and family therapist
Psychodynamic Therapy

Talia Chanoff

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

Oakland, California therapist: Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist, licensed clinical social worker
Psychodynamic Therapy

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.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Alex Hill

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
People typically seek therapy to address unresolved emotional or developmental issues in their lives and relationships, or to explore some aspect of life that is troubling them. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, having a professional to help navigate these issues is often necessary. Unlike some problems in life, emotional and psychological issues do not always have clear, straightforward solutions, and require careful assessment and intervention to find a path forward. I specialize in Couples Therapy, Developmental Trauma, existential struggles, and Men's issues. My style is collaborative, warm, and direct. Contact me to set up a free video consultation to get started.
