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.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I am a California-based therapist working with adults who feel mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched, and responsible for more than they can keep carrying.
From the outside, you may look like you are managing life well. Internally, your mind keeps going, your body feels tense, and it is hard to fully rest. You may feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or constantly “on,” even when nothing is wrong.
You might struggle to say no, take on too much, or feel guilty slowing down. Work stress, family expectations, and unspoken responsibilities can leave little space for you, leading to exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
In our work, we go beyond surface-level coping. We look at the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry.
Therapy starts with slowing things down and helping you feel understood without pressure to have everything figured out. Over time, you begin to respond differently to stress, feel more grounded in your body, and make decisions that feel clearer and more aligned.
I offer private pay therapy for those seeking thoughtful, consistent, and depth-oriented care.

Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You can’t pinpoint when it happened, but all of a sudden you don’t feel the same. You’re waking up feeling discontent and struggling to get out of bed. Sometimes, you find yourself wondering what you’re doing with yourself… You don’t feel fulfilled at all. You think you should feel great – You have the job, the friends, likes and follows from your connections… yet you still feel alone. Your inner voice is telling you something is missing.
You know something is off… but you don’t want to stay this way. You’re ready to make changes in your life. You want to feel refreshed, energized, healthy, and ready to tackle the day. You want more out of friendships, coupledom, parenthood, work, and life. You want to be back on track – like you again, but an expanded version. You want the fire back!
I’m here to help you with online consultation scheduling and services designed with you in mind. My clients appreciate my straightforward, no-jargon, real-world approach. If you are ready to feel better and get back on track, then let’s get to work. Schedule an appointment today, right now—no more waiting.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My way of helping people involves listening for and helping them articulate intimate aspects of themselves that they have not spoken and that they do not even know exist. It is both a process of discovery and invention, with an eye and ear towards real and lasting structural change.
