Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You don't have to continue pretending you are perfectly fine. Whether you are an eldest daughter, only daughter, or mom, you may have learned early on to take on more responsibility in relationships. Deep down, you know it takes much self-talk to be present, to set boundaries, you find it difficult to answer phone calls because you are afraid, and you desperately want help, but don't know how to ask.
Carrying heavy family expectations, chronic guilt, and the pressure to be perfect takes a heavy physical and emotional toll. If you're exhausted from self-neglect and feel like your own needs are too much, no estas sola.
I'm Kenia an LMFT with 9 years of experience helping high achieving, first gen women heal from childhood trauma and break the cycle of survival patterns.
Working together we use somatic therapy to release stored survival tension and nervous system stress. Explore complex family dynamics without losing yourself. Rebuild self-trust, repair confidence, and feel secure in who you are.
My approach is grounding, nurturing and empowering. Ready to take the first step? Call me or text me to book your free 15 minute consultation.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Hi, I’m Jasmine.
Maybe you’ve become so good at holding everything together that you hardly notice how much you’re carrying anymore. You may be someone others experience as dependable, thoughtful, and capable, while underneath, you’re managing anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or the pressure of trying to keep everything going.
You might find yourself overthinking decisions, putting pressure on yourself to get things right, worrying about disappointing people, or realizing that you’re much better at recognizing what everyone else needs than knowing what you need yourself. Even when you understand some of these patterns, it can be difficult to step outside of them when they’ve become such familiar ways of moving through the world.
I work with adults who are used to carrying a lot and are beginning to recognize that they don’t want to keep doing it in the same way. My approach is warm, collaborative, somatic, and depth-oriented, which means we’ll make space for what’s happening in your life while also getting curious about the patterns underneath it and what you notice in your body, emotions, and relationships.
Together, we can slow things down enough for you to become more familiar with what you feel, need, and want, while building greater trust in yourself and more choice in how you respond when familiar patterns show up.

My passion is to support you in healing the wounds of the past, fostering a loving relationship with yourself and with others, and becoming comfortable in your own skin.

Luis Maimoni
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hi. My name is Luis Maimoni. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships of all kinds.
No matter who you are, or where you're coming from, you are the one who will determine where your story begins. I'll meet you where you're at and focus on your strengths. We'll collaborate to find and treat the root cause of your presenting concerns.
Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" (family and community). Tribes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, flavors and configurations (I was raised in a multilingual and multicultural home). Our tribes shape how we feel, how we think, how we relate to others, and how others relate to us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes it's hard to know).
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Whatever the reason that brings you to psychotherapy at this time, I offer refuge in a confidential and nonjudgmental space where your story will be listened to with sensitivity and care. I am especially passionate about supporting people who are facing transitions: elders, people in midlife, students, artists, thinkers, and my fellow therapists. I am committed to helping couples manage conflict and envision new ways of communicating and being together. I specialize in accompanying you to those interior places that feel difficult, and in revisiting painful experiences that you can talk to no one else about. My practice is founded on our developing an authentic relationship of mutual regard. It will be my privilege to walk alongside you as we confront conflict, distress, and change to move together toward your healing, growth, and greater contentment in life. Please feel free to contact me for a brief complimentary online consultation.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel comfortable, productive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes meaningful progress happens when therapy feels like a genuine working relationship built on trust, openness, curiosity, and collaboration. I bring empathy, creativity, and a down-to-earth style to our work, adapting therapy to who you are rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which can make it easier to talk honestly about what isn’t working and understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling trapped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety or overthinking, relationship difficulties, performance pressure, unhealthy ways of coping, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and find practical ways forward.
I especially enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves but want more than insight alone. If you’re looking for therapy that is engaged, collaborative, and focused on helping you translate greater self-understanding into meaningful change, I’d be glad to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
I have always been fascinated by the human mind and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. I love helping people better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, anxious attachment, identity concerns, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse recovery, and borderline personality disorder. I also support family memebers and loved ones affected by BPD.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged, and supported. My goal is to help you gain insight, ;earn practical skills, and make changes that improve your relationships, your confidence, and your overall life.
