Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You’ve spent years being the strong one—the helper, the steady presence, the one who keeps it together while carrying so much inside.
Lately, maybe your body feels tense, your heart heavy, and your relationships harder than they should be. You may long for rest, connection, or simply someone who truly understands.
Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about creating space to listen to the parts of you that have been silenced, to heal old wounds, and to finally feel safe being your fully authentic self.
If you’re ready to stop overextending, quiet the inner critic, and begin living with more ease and authenticity—I would be honored to walk alongside you.
🌿 Let’s start from the roots, and grow upward—together.
At our core, we are all motivated by a desire to connect—both with others and with ourselves in ways that feel honoring. But often, in our upbringing, we learned “rules” for connection that no longer serve us in our friendships, families, or intimate relationships. My work is about helping you recognize those patterns and move toward earned-secure attachment, so your connections can feel mutual, safe, and deeply nourishing.
If this resonates, I invite you to schedule a brief, complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to see if my presence and approach might be the right support for your journey. You can schedule directly here: melanie-goetz.clientsecure.me

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.

Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy isn't just what I do, it's my calling. I’m an original Texan but fled to California to live the California dream for 18 years. In California I was trained with the highest standards in marriage and family therapy, skills I would love to share with you. I work with people from vast backgrounds and experiences. Working with children and adolescents was the foundation of my career for a long time. Currently I specialize in Women's Issues, Couples/Families, LGBTQIA and Latino/a/x populations. I believe we never stop growing, learning, or having fun!
