Susan Diamond, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, California, LMFT #100515
Congratulations on taking the first steps towards healing through therapy. I am honored that you are considering working with me. As a Marriage and Family Therapist with over ten years of experience, I have confidence in the power of therapy to foster insight and emotional wellbeing. I believe authenticity between therapists and clients is a key factor in how successful treatment will be. With this in mind, I will strive to create a genuine and welcoming environment, to listen deeply, and to join you in examining your experiences. My goal is to honor each person's unique needs while respecting the complex range of experiences that shape us all. I also try to create an environment that feels relaxed and down to earth, with plenty of laughter. Although therapy is serious work, seeing the humor and enjoying the absurdity of life goes a long way toward lightening the load!

Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. Always an invitation. My work is deeply meaningful and something I am passionate about - knowing how we can come into our full potential given the right support - kindness, patience, acknowledgement, and deep listening. "Being-with" holds the greatest potential for transformation. I hold you in the place you need the deepest support. We sit and listen, together. Understanding our stories is important for starting healing, but learning to be with the body to allow the unspoken voice of frozen traumatic imprints to thaw and heal, is the only way to true behavior change and transformation. My work with you helps you do all this. Schedule a 15-minute complimentary intro call to find out more. https://www.somaaloia.com/contact-soma-aloia
While highly trained and educated, my greatest professional growth and abilities come from the Health of my own healing experiences - my inner laboratory - and from deep learning with my clients themselves. It brings me great joy to be of service to all ages, supporting and witnessing our "being and becoming" as humans, in spite of what is going on around us. Can we heal years and layers of deep wounding and hurt? Yes we can! Over and over again, I have witnessed it... yes we can! We create secure attachment in a turbulent world, one person at a time.
I dedicate my practice to my teachers who've come before me and to my precious clients - who always believe enough in themselves to be courageous... to trust their hearts even if "the seas catch fire". It is an honor to witness and support this, along with supporting the shift happening in the whole world because of this work, and because of love. I look forward to meeting you in the spaciousness of this work together.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I am a somatic psychotherapist and approach therapy holistically, focusing on the mind-body-spirit. My background and training is in early childhood development, mindfulness and meditation practices, and somatic psychology. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with the body and what is coming up in the present moment using body-oriented techniques and mindfulness. I also use ancient yogic practices and approach healing considering your subtle body energy system if you are interested (e.g. chakra health, breathing techniques, movement, etc).
