Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Ingrid Sthare
Life Coach, CTLC, BCC
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.
