Santa Barbara, California therapist: Dr. Trevor Alleman, psychologist
Experiential

Dr. Trevor Alleman

Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but mental suffering can be reduced. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy offers way out of these avoidant patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Pasadena, California therapist: Mona Saba Valeriano, licensed clinical social worker
Experiential

Mona Saba Valeriano

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting. In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels. I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences. It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.
