Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Gabriel Lowe
Psychologist, PhD
Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. My goal to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to disentangle the complex narrative of your life and find your unique way of thriving. I provide exclusively online therapy in the state of California.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Let's work through this together.
If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and disconnected, and your current way of living feels off course, my therapeutic approach can provide the support you need. Much of our distress originates from deeply rooted, uncontrollable negative thoughts about ourselves and the world, embedded during our upbringing. Often, we remain unaware of what keeps us stuck, making it challenging to find a way out.
I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals whose lives felt unsustainable and unfulfilling, guiding them to uncover their truest, most vibrant selves. This process is not about making minor adjustments; it's about profound transformation. The life you desire is closer than you realize, but the path to it isn’t always clear when traveled alone.
Together, we will explore evidence-based techniques, enriched with the wisdom of philosophy, the tranquility of Buddhism, the strength of Stoicism, the practice of Mindfulness, and the insights of the mind-body connection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s a deep awakening, liberating you from the negative thoughts and emotions that have held you back."
