Amenah Arman
Therapist, MS-CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, Nationally Certified Counselor
Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Are you having difficulty recognizing yourself lately? Do you lie awake even when you're exhausted, dread dates on the calendar no one else notices, or rehearse how to seem okay before you walk into a room?

I specialize in reproductive mental health to support adults through infertility and the ache of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss, the upheaval of pregnancy and postpartum, PMDD, perimenopause, OCD and intrusive thoughts, and life with chronic pain or illness.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

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.
