Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I bring my real-life experience into my work as a therapist. I’m a mom, a military spouse, and someone who understands anxiety—including postpartum anxiety—not just clinically, but personally. I’ve spent years working with children with special needs and their families, which has deeply shaped how I view emotional health, caregiving, and resilience.
I believe therapy works best when evidence-based tools are paired with compassion, emotional depth, and practicality. My goal is to help you understand the root of what you’re experiencing—not just manage surface level symptoms—so visible, lasting change can happen. I’m especially passionate about working with parents and caregivers, because when adults take care of themselves and their relationships, the impact on children is beautiful and significant. If you’re looking for therapy that feels genuine and grounded in real life, I’d love to help you.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I am a California-based anxiety therapist working with high-functioning adults who struggle with chronic anxiety, overthinking, panic, and persistent internal tension. Many of my clients appear capable and successful, yet feel emotionally exhausted and constantly on edge. They often carry responsibility, family expectations, and pressure that have kept their nervous system in a state of high alert.
My approach to anxiety therapy is steady, depth-oriented, and practical. I help clients reduce panic and physical anxiety symptoms while also addressing the deeper patterns that keep anxiety going, including guilt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and long-standing family or cultural roles. This work focuses on helping you feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more grounded in your daily life.
I provide private pay therapy and work well with clients seeking thoughtful, consistent care rather than quick fixes.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Oregon. Many couples come to me feeling stuck, unseen, or like they’re speaking different languages. Sometimes there’s neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), past trauma, or years of miscommunication that usual advice doesn’t touch. My style is direct, compassionate, and real—I bring humor, honesty, and respect into sessions while helping you uncover the patterns beneath conflict. I specialize in helping partners reconnect, improve intimacy, and rebuild trust. You don’t have to be perfect or throw away your life together to reclaim closeness and resilience. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and find a deeper way forward, I’d love to support you in creating a relationship that feels like “us” again.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation. I help Marriages develop the emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, healthy communication, and constructive conflict resolution skills so the couple can rebuild intimacy and thrive!

Jacob Kajiwara
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., LMFT
In therapy with me, you’ll find a space that is conversational, collaborative, and gently challenging. I work with a mix of intellectual and emotional approaches, offering both insight and practical tools. Together, we will create a framework of both self-compassion and accountability, helping you better understand what’s getting in your way and begin making choices that reflect who you truly are.
We will explore not just your symptoms, but the larger emotional and relational themes that shape your experience. I help you trace how your protective patterns. How things like overcommitment, avoidance, self-criticism, or emotional numbness may have once served you but now hold you back from the fuller, more connected life you desire.

Suzanna Freerksen
Psychiatrist, MD
As a psychiatrist I am comfortable with prescribing medications as well as therapy. My psychiatry practice is focused on you and how you can best achieve your goals, whether that is medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a combination of all three. Let's work together to help you get 'unstuck'.
In session we will talk about thoughts and feelings in addition to medication. I am experienced in CBT and group therapy, as well as the medical treatment of nightmares and bipolar disorder. I am also trained in EMDR and DBT, as well as ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I am knowledgeable about medicines and illness with breastfeeding, and pregnancy.
