Frankie Santiago
Life Coach, Professional Life Coach
I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. With a strong foundation in therapeutic tools and psychological principles, I offer compassionate online life coaching for men and women navigating relationships, personal growth and life transitions, and business/entrepreneurship. My practice stands out because of its practical, no-nonsense approach that blends real-world strategies with personalized guidance—helping clients improve communication and connection in relationships, gain clarity during transitions, and build sustainable success in their ventures.
Whether you’re rebuilding after challenges, seeking better balance, or ready to scale your goals, I provide a collaborative, non-judgmental environment focused on actionable results. I’m passionate about helping people move forward with confidence and momentum. I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation so we can connect and see if we’re the right fit—let’s take that first step together.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood.
As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

Mary Mallinson Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, my name is Mary and I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for adults dealing with childhood trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, to help clients process childhood trauma, attachment wounds, perfectionism and family of origin issues.
I work with women, adult children of immigrants, and individuals seeking deeper healing from past experiences that continue to impact their present. My services include both weekly online therapy and EMDR therapy intensives, which offer extended sessions for more focused, in-depth trauma processing.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative, helping clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward greater clarity, emotional regulation, and lasting change. All sessions are offered via telehealth for clients located in California.

Michelle King Rayfield
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I know that people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals and then create a road map to achieving them. I focus on relationships & couples counseling, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I have held roles of Clinical Director and Therapist in a number of addiction treatment centers in Southern California. My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through our struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.
9 Years Experience
Online in Visalia, CA
Visalia is the county seat of Tulare County in California's Central Valley, a region that is both one of the world's most productive agricultural areas and one of California's most underserved communities for mental health care, with a majority Latino population whose access to Spanish-language therapy is severely limited relative to need. The agricultural economy creates specific mental health challenges around seasonal employment, farmworker labor conditions, heat-related stress, and the immigration anxieties common across the San Joaquin Valley. Kaweah Health provides the primary hospital-based behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the more affluent parts of the population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, agricultural and economic stress, immigration and family separation trauma, and the significant barriers to care created by language access issues and a shortage of Spanish-speaking therapists in a region where the majority of residents speak Spanish at home.
