Michelle King Rayfield
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals, how we set a road map to achieving them, and how we realign if things go off track. I focus my work on relationships, including couples counseling, as well as anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am experienced as a Director and Therapist working in addiction and substance use treatment, and my educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
What makes my therapy practice exceptional is the balance I bring between heart and science. I don’t believe therapy should feel clinical or distant—it should feel human. I create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and respected, while also drawing from research-based approaches that are proven to create meaningful change. I am intentional about building genuine relationships, because I know healing happens in connection. At the same time, I stay grounded in evidence-informed methods so our work is focused, practical, and effective. My clients aren’t just supported—they’re empowered. They leave with insight, tools, and a stronger sense of themselves. Part of what makes my practice great is that it is not one-size-fits-all. It’s thoughtful, compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

Santa Clarita is a large suburban city north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley — one of the primary bedroom communities for the entertainment industry, with a significant population of production workers, crew members, and support staff whose careers are tied to the cycles of film and television production. The city's family-oriented, relatively conservative character contrasts with the precarious employment reality of many of its entertainment-connected residents, and therapists frequently address creative career anxiety, the boom-bust psychology of production employment, and the identity challenges of supporting roles in an industry that prizes visibility. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Santa Clarita's suburban sprawl and car-dependent layout contribute to social isolation themes that therapists encounter frequently.
