Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have the utmost honor and care for my clients who enlist their trust in me to walk side by side with them on this rich, vulnerable, intimate, and sometimes challenging journey toward transformation. I am passionate about helping people fully awaken in their lives, even amidst the collective trauma we are currently experiencing. In learning how to access your vast unconscious world, you will have an increase in self-awareness, developing a more intimate and authentic relationship with yourself and others. Together, with curiosity, we can examine the the roots beneath your anxiety, often discovering defenses, coping mechanisms and survival strategies that are no longer serving you. In a safe, empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment, I will lovingly challenge you to look at your constructed narratives and unhealthy patterns, while exploring your conscious and unconscious beliefs you have about yourself and the world. I believe the deepest healing comes from feeling all of the feelings you were unsafe to feel when you were a child, perhaps unlocking emotion you didn't know how to express. Time and time again, I've seen this lead to less somatic symptoms, less physical and emotional suffering, a deeper sense of self-trust, and a profound sense of freedom. I've had the honor of working with clients "in the room" for 14 years, supervising associate therapists for 9 years, and teaching graduate psychology students in the LGBTQ specialization at Antioch University for 4 years. I have extensive experience and expertise working with the LGBTQ population, creatives in the entertainment industry (showrunners, writers, directors, producers, actors, network executives, etc), parents, codependency, relational issues and trauma. My approach is experiential and depth-oriented, integrating psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, EMDR and EFT. I believe these modalities lend to a meaningful and rich therapeutic relationship, leading to fully integrated and lasting change.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you think you're ready to make some changes in your life, then I'm your person! If you've been struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, setting boundaries and/or relationship issues and you've been trying hard, but what you've been doing hasn't worked as well as you'd hoped, then we could be a good match. I'm originally from London, (one of the most diverse cities in the world). I'm half British and half French and I've also lived in Florida, California and now live in Costa Rica. As you can probably tell, I'm interested in different cultures, backgrounds and worldviews and how they can influence how we think and how we navigate our lives. I also have an appreciation and an understanding of the challenges involved in being an immigrant/the emotional upheaval of moving location. If all of this feels like a good fit, reach out for a consultation!

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
The focus of my work is addictive and compulsive sexual activity. If you want to stop some behaviors, but cannot, I can help you. It is not about eliminating sex, but rather, helping you shift from objectified sex to more connected sex, strengthening your sense of personal integrity. The goal is a healthier and happier intimate relationship with your partner or partners. Oh, and you will be able to leave your phone, face up, anywhere without worry.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I'm Brooke Taylor, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering holistic relational trauma therapy for teens, adults, and couples across California. My work centers on helping people navigate experiences that have changed them — whether that's a loss, a life transition, a spiritual awakening, or the quiet realization that you've lost touch with your sense of safety, identity, or belonging.
I bring a collaborative, casual, and laid-back approach 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 space where your emotions, your story, and your inner wisdom are honored.
Together, we'll explore how your experiences shape the way you move through the world today, helping you process what you've been through, release old patterns, and rebuild trust in yourself and who you're becoming. Healing begins with being seen, and you don't have to do it alone.

My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding.
