Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
With over 15 years of clinical experience, I support clients in deepening self-understanding, strengthening emotional well-being, and creating more fulfilling relationships. My work focuses on helping people move beyond limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them, so they can build healthier habits, greater self-compassion, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I believe that therapy is most powerful when it feels human, collaborative, and grounded in real life. My work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of people’s experiences and the relationships that shape us. I am especially passionate about supporting adults and parents as they navigate stress, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that often come with family life.
With a background in both education and psychotherapy, I bring a developmental and neuroscience-informed lens to my work, helping clients better understand their emotional patterns and nervous system responses. My goal is to create a space where people feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, connection, and resilience.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I most often support empathic, caring, sensitive people who are used to being the “go-to” person for others, while feeling overwhelmed and depleted themselves. This is how it has always been and feels aligned with your values, and you know this way of existing is not sustainable and doesn't make you truly happy. If you’re ready to begin working toward making some shifts in life, or even ready to think about what that might look like, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable identifying and working toward your dreams, in order to move toward a life that you love more.
I offer online therapy for people throughout California and Maryland. Contact me for a free consultation call to have your questions answered. I look forward to connecting!

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MFT
Therapy with me is interactive, honest, and supportive. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 20+ years working as a creative and A&R executive in entertainment—and I still work in music and TV today.
Life transitions can hit hard—whether it’s school, career shifts, relationships, divorce, or loss. I help you make sense of what’s happening and move through it in a way that feels more grounded and manageable.
I’m warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. My approach is practical and evidence-based, shaped around your story, your strengths, and what actually works for you. My writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Billboard, and more.
Sessions are available in Culver City or via telehealth.
