Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare
Psychologist, PhD, HSP, PSYPACT+California
At ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare, we specialize in evidence-based therapy and psychological assessment for complex, co-occurring mental health conditions, with a focus on ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma, insomnia, and chronic illness. Our psychologist-led team understands that many clients come to us after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or stuck in treatments that didn’t quite fit.
We take a neuroaffirming, science-informed approach, recognizing that your brain, identity, and lived experience all matter. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your unique “neurotype” and build a personalized plan that supports real, sustainable change.
Our services are designed for individuals whose challenges are often interconnected—because conditions like ADHD, autism, trauma, and OCD rarely occur in isolation. Through comprehensive assessments, specialized therapies (ERP, ACT, CBT, EMDR, CBT-I), and executive function coaching, we help you gain clarity, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life.
ScienceWorks offers secure telehealth services across California and PSYPACT-participating states, making expert care more accessible wherever you are. We also coordinate with prescribers and other providers when needed, creating a more integrated and effective treatment experience.
Our practice was founded by Dr. Kiesa Kelly, a clinical psychologist and former professor, whose work is grounded in both research and lived experience. This perspective shapes our commitment to providing care that is not only evidence-based, but also compassionate, affirming, and deeply human.
If you’re looking for therapy that truly understands complexity—and helps you move toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful change—we’re here to help.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My practice is especially supportive for people navigating transitions, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet sense that something in life needs to change. I bring steadiness, creativity, and a deep respect for your lived experience, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.
In session we will talk about thoughts and feelings in addition to medication. I am experienced in CBT and group therapy, as well as the medical treatment of nightmares and bipolar disorder. I am also trained in EMDR and DBT, as well as ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am knowledgeable about medicines and illness with breastfeeding, and pregnancy.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

El Soul Therapeutic Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I work with adults who are interested in stepping out of old patterns and meeting themselves with honesty and care. Whether you’re navigating trauma, panic attacks, identity shifts, or anxiety, therapy can provide a space to deeply explore what you’re feeling and why — while considering both your personal history and the systems that have shaped you.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Florida. 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.
