Los Angeles, California therapist: Adela Stone, marriage and family therapist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Jacob Kajiwara, marriage and family therapist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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.

Santa Clara, California therapist: Suzanna Freerksen, psychiatrist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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.
