Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the realness I bring into the therapy space. I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are, with honesty, compassion, and zero judgment. My approach is deeply humanistic, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or set of problems. I keep it down to earth and authentic while helping you tap into your own strength, clarity, and resilience. Clients often tell me I’m the kind of therapist who’s real, relatable, and not afraid to go deep, because healing happens when we can be our full selves.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I’m Brooke Taylor, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering holistic relational trauma therapy and grief counseling for teens, adults and couples across California. My work centers on helping you reconnect with yourself after loss whether that loss is external, like the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship, or internal, like losing touch with your sense of safety, identity, or belonging.
I bring a collaborative, casual, and laid-back approach to therapy, grounded in compassion and curiosity. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to meet you where you’re at, creating a space where your emotions, stories, and inner wisdom are honored.
Together, we’ll explore how early experiences and relationships shape the way you move through the world today, helping you process grief, release old patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself. Healing begins with being seen, and you don’t have to do it alone.
