Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Welcome to my profile. My name is Dana Fogel-Stark and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder and Couple/Relational Issues. I have been licensed as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and in full time private practice in the heart of Calabasas. My therapeutic approach is eclectic focused on both helping clients gain insight and awareness as to the origin and cause of their struggles as well as helping clients gain the tools and coping mechanisms needed to overcome their challenges. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific presenting issues that the client is facing. I create a personalized treatment approach with every new client based on their specific needs. I use Evidence Based Therapy to treat obsessive worries and ruminations, physical manifestations of anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with perfectionism/performance anxiety. My passion for using CBT is that I get to witness significant improvement with clients in a short period of time. In addition to CBT I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention as well as teaching emotional intelligence in my work with clients. I look forward to working with you.

Synapse Therapy and Healing | Alexis Collins, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Hello! You can call me Lexi. I'm so glad you're taking this step. As a therapist, my greatest passion is helping people move from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to feeling centered, stable, and deeply safe in themselves.
I hold a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) and have received specialized training in trauma-informed modalities such as CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, and attachment theory.
In addition to individual therapy, I have experience working in intensive outpatient programs (IOP), crisis intervention, and community-based services. I’ve supported individuals on probation, survivors of domestic violence, and those who have experienced exploitation or trafficking, offering trauma-informed care with compassion and respect. My background also includes supporting clients through major life transitions, postpartum adjustments, abandonment wounds, relational trauma, and the challenges of coping with borderline traits—especially the impact of stigma, misunderstanding, and invalidation that can deepen emotional wounds.
My clinical experience has taught me that true healing comes from a warm, attuned relationship. I approach every session with deep empathy and patience, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Ultimately, I'm here to support you in healing emotional pain, building resilience, and reclaiming your sense of agency in your own life.

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.
