Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be successful in many areas of your life and yet find yourself struggling internally. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in recurring relationship patterns, or questioning the direction your life is taking. Maybe you're carrying grief, navigating a major transition, or simply sensing that something important is asking for your attention.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to your experience. 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. As insight develops, new possibilities for growth and change can emerge.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I believe that 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, and well-being in daily life.
Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives, I support clients in exploring recurring patterns, strengthening self-awareness, healing old wounds, and cultivating a more authentic relationship with themselves.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults 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.

Yesenia Torres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
A warm hello to you. Do you ever wake up feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness, stress, excessive worry, sadness, or fear? These emotions can deeply impact your overall well-being. My role as a therapist is to help you reconnect with your motivation, find peace, and create stability in your life. Therapy isn’t about a magic solution—the real magic comes from within you. Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous and meaningful step. The first part of this journey is a conversation to determine if we’re a good fit. Finding the right therapist is essential for your healing and growth, and truly I care to help you make that connection.

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.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life can leave you feeling shaken—betrayal, relational abuse, or divorce can erode trust, shake your sense of self, and make relationships feel unsafe. It’s normal to feel hurt, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I also specialize in sex therapy and intimacy work. Whether sexual desire feels distant, connection feels confusing, or intimacy brings anxiety, we can explore what’s getting in the way and work toward sexual confidence, satisfying closeness, and authentic connection.
In a supportive, nonjudgmental space, we’ll address the patterns holding you back, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and take practical steps toward safer, more fulfilling relationships and intimacy—so you can feel heard, valued, and connected again.
