Tracey Kiernan, Marriage and Family Therapist in Santa Monica, CA
Narrative

Tracey Kiernan

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You may be finding that things that used to feel manageable no longer do. You’re overthinking more, feeling anxious or on edge, or noticing you’re either reacting quickly or shutting down altogether. You might feel disconnected from yourself, unsure why you feel “off,” or frustrated that you can’t seem to get back to how you used to be. In your relationship, you may be having the same conversations on repeat, feeling unheard, or struggling to stay connected despite your efforts. For many, this is happening alongside a major life shift—like perimenopause, burnout, or changes in identity—that’s hard to fully put into words but deeply felt. I specialize in working with women and couples navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including perimenopause. These experiences can impact not only your sense of self, but also how you show up in your relationships, often leading to repeated conflict, emotional distance, or difficulty communicating in a way that actually feels productive. My approach to therapy is both compassionate and focused. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, psychodynamic, Gestalt, somatic, and Gottman-informed couples therapy. We begin by helping you feel more grounded and regulated, so you’re not just talking about your experiences, but are able to work with them in a meaningful way. From there, we explore the underlying patterns driving what you’re experiencing and focus on creating lasting, practical change. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and tailored to you. The goal is not just insight, but helping you feel more like yourself again—clearer, more connected, and better able to navigate your life and relationships.

Sandy Kong, Marriage and Family Therapist in Sacramento, CA
Narrative

Sandy Kong

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow at their own individual pace and to let acceptance and safety direct their learning and healing. I operate from a trauma-informed lense & being culturally sensitive. My therapeutic process is to provide the opportunity and space for people to heal and find hope, despite hardships. The best part of being a therapist for me, is being able to be a part of someone’s journey; walking alongside them and empowering them to develop, heal, and grow. I am always so honored and humbled to witness the resilience of people.

Emily Maynard, Marriage and Family Therapist in Salt Lake City, UT
Narrative

Emily Maynard

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help smart, sensitive people who want more out of therapy. You want more than worksheets and listening for the big questions: why do you still feel 16 when you're around your mother, why do all your relationships keep ending the same way, why does achieving your business goals or having that fund from your grandparents still never feel like it's enough money, why aren't you over that terrible night in college that you can barely even remember, why is it all so hard? You want therapy that is personalized to your actual experiences, not just the same "set boundaries/do self-care" advice from tiktok, and someone who will see what's actually in your way and how to shift it. I help clients who feel like their mind is moving too fast to slow down, get connected with their intuition, and feel safe enough to move forward.

Timothy Walker, Marriage and Family Therapist in Santa Monica, CA
Narrative

Timothy Walker

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist? Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)? Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)? Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)? Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)? Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?
