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.

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.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients are typically LGBTQIA+ professionals in their 30s and 40s who are struggling with some aspects of relationships or dating, and with their own self-worth, often because of a conservative, religious upbringing. I help people learn to manage anxiety and improve their relationships with others, and we go beyond just scratching the surface. Some of my clients are in the process of coming out for the first time. Many are experiencing the aftermath of religious harm or religious trauma. Many are trans folks in the process of their transition.
