Brea, California therapist: Jasmine Wilson, licensed clinical social worker
Serving Black / African American

Jasmine Wilson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
Hi, I'm Jasmine! I work with high-functioning adults who are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and carrying a lot—often at the expense of their own needs. Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded way. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, integrating somatic therapy to support lasting change—not just symptom relief. I offer in-person sessions in Brea, CA and online sessions across California and Arizona.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns—stress, anxiety, depression, and moments of feeling utterly overwhelmed. Often, we find our way through these challenges on our own. Yet, there are times when the guidance of a compassionate, licensed psychotherapist can be invaluable in restoring balance and steering your life toward greater fulfillment and joy. As your therapist, I offer more than just interventions; I provide a nurturing space to listen, understand, and actively support your path to well-being.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc, licensed professional counselor
Serving Black / African American

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc

Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change. Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

San Diego, California therapist: Jessica Dominguez, marriage and family therapist
Serving Black / African American

Jessica Dominguez

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Therapy can help us find the path that will help us feel more confident, capable, and rooted in ourselves; help us learn to manage life's challenges, and connect us to our resilience and strengths in a way that honor our values, culture, and highlights that we have all we need to heal and grow. Life can be extremely difficult, and at some point, we all need support in helping navigate it. I actively center culture in my life and therapeutic work, and believe that connecting to our culture can promote healing, growth, self-acceptance, help us shed internalized oppressive views, as well as foster self-awareness and a deeper connection to our more authentic selves. I'm passionate about social justice and working with BIPOC women & Latine communities. Se habla espanol.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Sara Fraser, psychologist
Serving Black / African American

Sara Fraser

Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!
