Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I help South Asian and Muslim women who feel responsible for everyone else but have no space left for themselves.
From the outside, you may look like you have it together. You are dependable, capable, and the person others turn to when something goes wrong. But privately, you are exhausted. You replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, struggle to say no, and feel guilty slowing down.
Many of my clients carry the weight of family expectations, caregiving roles, cultural pressures, and the belief that their needs should come last. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, resentment, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
In therapy, we look beyond surface-level coping and explore the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry. Together, we create space for your needs, your voice, and a way of living that feels more balanced and sustainable.
I offer private pay telehealth therapy throughout California.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit can be hard. I partner with families to support their children and young adults through challenging times.

Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life hasn’t turned out the way you thought it would? Maybe you’re in the middle of a big transition—becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new role, or simply realizing that what used to work…doesn’t anymore. Change can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and even grief for the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown. You might find yourself questioning who you are or what comes next. These moments can feel isolating, but they’re also an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin again—with support along the way.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD providing therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples in California and Oregon. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel understood rather than judged, and where difficult emotions and experiences can be explored openly and thoughtfully.
I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I also have experience working with pastors, ministry leaders, and clients seeking therapy that thoughtfully integrates Christian faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process when desired.
I believe therapy is most effective when it helps people move beyond surface-level coping and toward deeper self-understanding, emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of meaning and direction in life.
