Laurie Moore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PhD, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR
Counseling is caring, collaborative and tailored to you. As you go through the process, you find more emotional ease, clarity, joy and a renewed sense of purpose. Previous sorrows heal as life begins to feel like what you had hoped for, along with new and enjoyable experiences. Therapy supports peace, fulfillment and movement forward. I have successfully helped numerous people from diverse backgrounds to make lasting life changes.

Elizabeth Essner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value meeting clients where they are at. Whether it is working around issues of substance use, or dealing with anxiety or depression, I seek to help clients achieve their goals and live a better life.

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.

Edie Ye
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Do you experience big feelings? Are you a deeply feeling person?

Do feelings of helplessness or unworthiness hold you back from accomplishing your goals, or even knowing what your goals are?
I enjoy working with clients taking a step towards ease, peace and empowerment while navigating the complexities of their inner and outer worlds. I will partner with you as you embark on your healing journey, making space for all parts of you, so that you can live more aligned with your values; a shining light in the darkness.

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.
