Justine Astacio | Lotus Theory LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a therapist, I approach this work through a somatic lens, recognizing that what we experience emotionally is often held in the body, not just in our thoughts.
I support clients in understanding their patterns while also helping them build a more regulated and grounded relationship with themselves. This means we’re not only talking about what’s happening, but also paying attention to how it’s showing up physically and how to shift those responses over time.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, my goal is to create a space that feels steady, collaborative, and connected, where you can feel supported both in your internal experience and in how you relate to others in your life.

Jennifer Elve
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, CEAP, GMHS
Welcome to a space designed for clarity, support, and meaningful progress.
Navigating personal stress, professional demands, and family responsibilities can often leave you feeling stretched thin. My practice is built on the belief that therapy should be accessible, empowering, and deeply attuned to the reality of your daily life.
What sets my practice apart is the integration of specialized expertise with practical, real-world solutions:
Specialized Geriatric & Caregiver Support: As a Geriatric Mental Health Specialist (GMHS), I provide dedicated guidance for older adults and the "sandwich generation"—caregivers balancing aging parents, careers, and their own families. I help you navigate ambiguous loss, cognitive shifts, burnout, and complex family dynamics with practical strategies and emotional grace.
Workplace & Life Stress Mastery: Drawing on my background as a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), I bring a structured, action-oriented approach to workplace stress, life transitions, and work-life harmony, helping you regain focus and maintain healthy boundaries.
Affirming & Whole-Person Care: My practice provides an inclusive, identity-affirming environment for individuals navigating LGBTQ+ experiences, chronic health conditions like HIV/AIDS, women’s issues, and pivotal life changes.
Clients choose to reach out because they need more than just someone to listen—they want a collaborative partner who brings clinical insight, structured coping tools, and genuine warmth. Whether you are seeking relief from immediate caregiver stress or striving for long-term personal growth, reaching out today is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.

Considering Divorce? Please call me before you call an attorney! What can seem like you're heading for a break up can be a breakthrough to a deeper connection; despite infidelity, loss of a child or lack of intimacy. You are perhaps feeling shame or anger and you're anxious to take the first step; yet you want to try everything for yourself and your family. Maybe you've tried other methods such as marriage counseling to no avail. Please call for a free consult! Or you're looking to rebuild after a breakup and feel like you've lost yourself. My premarital work helps curb divorce stats! Prefer a 100% confidential
therapeutic process from the start? Most relationship issues do not involve a mental health diagnosis. Rather, you’ve adapted to and from broken models. Through relationship education you will learn new models and tools to equip yourself for the relationship you want with yourself or someone else.
