Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I first got my start in ministry working as a worship leader and musician, and later in the private and public schools as a teacher. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for people of all ages to find healing through difficult experiences. My therapy career began in the private practice setting and then I worked at a clinic as a child and family therapist for several years before starting my own practice. My specialization and training is in working with couples, kids and families and individuals. Currently, I'm an EMDR certified therapist which is one of the best evidence based trauma recovery models for those wanting to move through painful experiences and find healing from trauma. My goal is to walk with you on the healing journey and help you understand how to have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
Hi, I'm Jasmine! I work with high-functioning adults who are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and carrying a lot—often at the expense of their own needs. Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, understand the deeper patterns shaping your life, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded way. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, integrating somatic therapy to support lasting change—not just symptom relief. I offer in-person sessions in Brea, CA and online sessions across California and Arizona.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I am a California-based therapist working with adults who feel mentally exhausted, emotionally stretched, and responsible for more than they can keep carrying.
From the outside, you may look like you are managing life well. Internally, your mind keeps going, your body feels tense, and it is hard to fully rest. You may feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or constantly “on,” even when nothing is wrong.
You might struggle to say no, take on too much, or feel guilty slowing down. Work stress, family expectations, and unspoken responsibilities can leave little space for you, leading to exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
In our work, we go beyond surface-level coping. We look at the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry.
Therapy starts with slowing things down and helping you feel understood without pressure to have everything figured out. Over time, you begin to respond differently to stress, feel more grounded in your body, and make decisions that feel clearer and more aligned.
I offer private pay therapy for those seeking thoughtful, consistent, and depth-oriented care.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

Dr. Lori Lynn Mann
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Psy.D.
Ever feel stuck? Maybe you are bogged down with thoughts, memories, or uncomfortable feelings. Or maybe you are just itching for a change in your life. I am a licensed psychotherapist with an additional doctorate degree. I help individuals, couples, and families throughout Orange County & LA County. My approach is one where I aim for you to feel comfortable from the very beginning. No cookie cutter model here...I will find a way to meet you where you are at and work toward your therapy goals. I'm an accomplice toward helping you feel heard and validated in your journey...because life, after all, through the good and the bad, is a journey, isn't it? We will work together through the highs and lows, the conflicts internally and externally, re-group when thought processes get us in a rut, and focus on full mind-body health. I walk the walk in wellness in that it is my life mission to help better the lives of others. I am a semi-professional marathon runner and creator of the mind-body wellness brand, TIER Wellness, that encourages others to reach the next TIER in their lives.
