Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
I bring into my practice 17 years of experience working with trauma and relationships. I work with people who have been deeply wounded and hurt in relationships. They often appear in the world as unsure about their worth and value. They are not sure that they can trust and rely on others. They might panic if people pull away too quickly or not allow themselves to get close from the start. They want to trust their gut more and feel a greater sense of security in their relationships. They want to be able to extend greater compassion and kindness towards themselves. My practice is a secure base from which we could explore all of the above and more. Current/past clients and colleagues have shared that I am collaborative, curious and calming. My aim is to slow things down to the pace where you can allow what is needed for you to emerge, to notice what you're wanting and to step more confidently out into the world.

Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected—from your body, your emotions, and the life you want to live. You may know you’re safe now, yet still feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed in ways that don’t make sense. Therapy can be a place where this begins to change.
My work goes beyond talking, supporting your brain and nervous system in processing and releasing traumatic experiences at a deep level. I use EMDR and Brainspotting—powerful, trauma-informed approaches that help access the parts of the brain where trauma is stored—so healing can occur in a way that feels natural and lasting.
Equally important is the therapeutic relationship itself. I offer a compassionate, attuned space where your experience is met with care, respect, and pacing that honors your nervous system. Together, we work toward greater ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of freedom in your life.
If you’re considering trauma therapy and wondering whether I might be the right therapist for you, I invite you to reach out for a phone consultation.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.

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.

Jessie Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I get it—life and relationships can be messy, confusing, and deeply personal. I work with individuals and couples navigating love, identity, and life transitions, bringing a warm, direct approach that meets you where you are. Whether in-person or virtual, our sessions are a space for insight, clarity, and a few “aha” moments along the way. I also weave in humor and real-life perspective when it feels right—because therapy shouldn’t be all serious all the time.

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.

I understand that every situation is unique, and taking the next step can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your needs and work toward meaningful solutions together.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I'm from Los Angeles, where I still live, and I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University. Over the past five years I've worked across private practice, community mental health, and school-based settings, where I developed a real love for trauma work with teens.
My approach is holistic, with attention to the mind, body, and spirit. I see therapy as deeply collaborative, and I believe every teen is capable of healing when they're connected with support that actually fits them. That fit matters more than almost anything else, a teen who feels talked at or managed will politely wait out the hour, and not much will change.
Naturally, most teens don't arrive thrilled about talking to a stranger. Some are guarded, some are exhausted, some agreed to come mostly to get you off their back. I get it, I've been there myself. My aim is to meet your teen where they are and build a relationship steady enough that they can lean on it on the heavier days. That usually takes a few sessions, and it's normal for progress to look like very little for a while before it looks like something.
I'm trained in several modalities, including EMDR, parts work, Gestalt, CRM, and TRM. Rather than list more acronyms, I'd be glad to talk through what your teen is dealing with and answer any questions you have.
