Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Our careers can sometimes be so intertwined with our identities that when we are no longer fulfilled by them, or find ourselves at a crossroads, it can be terrifying and disorienting. I have been through a big career change myself, and intimately know the flood of emotions that comes along with it. There is also a lot of job uncertainty with the increasing popularity of AI, and as someone who used to work in tech for 20 years, I understand how big of a threat it poses on many different levels. Let's work together to find out where you go from here.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Career concerns are often about more than work—they can reflect identity, meaning, ambition, fear of failure, or feeling stuck in old patterns. In therapy, we explore what work represents for you, what’s keeping you trapped, and how to move toward a path that feels more fulfilling and sustainable.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
