Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life is hard to navigate. If communicating with others is difficult, if you constantly feel nervous, are grieving, or having family and relationship problems, I am here for you.
I have a passion for working with women weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm. You may struggle finding balance in your life, feeling at peace with who you are, or expressing your needs in relationships.
Do you feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or avoiding difficult emotions? I will help you develop a personalized set of tools to ease the emotional distress that weighs you down, more importantly, you will feel confident, capable, & secure in your relationships & daily life.
I BELIEVE:
We all carry contradictions. It’s okay to have mixed feelings— life is complex.
Relationships are worth nurturing. With the right tools, we can communicate with more kindness and hear each other with more love.
You deserve the freedom to make your own choices—and to honor what’s right for you.
Bringing a balance of heart and humor to the therapy space helps clients find healing, resilience, and joy—one small moment at a time.
Call me for a free 20-minute consultation to see what it’s like to work together. During our call, you’ll get a genuine feel for my therapy style, ask questions about the process, and explore what real progress could look like for you. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a different approach, this is a warm, no-pressure space to connect and find out if we’re the right fit.

Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be struggling in your relationship—caught in recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or longing to feel close again. Perhaps you and your partner are navigating a major life transition, trying to rebuild trust, or finding yourselves stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Or maybe you're coming to therapy on your own, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, questioning the direction your life is taking, or carrying grief or experiences that continue to shape you.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore not only the challenges that bring you to therapy, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, beliefs, and life experiences that may be shaping them.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. With couples, I draw especially from attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners understand the deeper patterns beneath conflict, strengthen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and create a more secure and fulfilling relationship. With individuals, I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives to explore recurring patterns, strengthen self-awareness, heal old wounds, and cultivate a more authentic relationship with yourself.
I believe symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of emptiness often have important stories to tell. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, I help clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles while developing practical ways to create greater balance, resilience, connection, and well-being in daily life.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.

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.

Torrance is a South Bay Los Angeles city with one of the largest Japanese-American communities on the mainland — a legacy of Toyota's former US headquarters and American Honda's continuing one — alongside diverse middle-class neighborhoods and a strong healthcare sector. Mental health needs include Asian-American family and identity dynamics, where culturally informed care matters and stigma can delay help-seeking, plus the standard pressures of high-cost coastal California life. Torrance Memorial and Providence Little Company of Mary anchor healthcare, with a broad LA market nearby.
