Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling PLLC

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Choosing a therapist is a highly subjective experience. Although education, good training and a comfortable environment all are important factors in the therapeutic experience, the most important quality to look for in a therapist is whether you feel that you can develop a trusting, open communication with them. Therapy ultimately is a relationship between you and your therapist. It is a different relationship than any other relationships you have in your life as it is bound by professional ethics, theory and it is not an equal give and take relationship. As a therapist, it is my job to help you create an environment that feels safe, supportive, and conducive to your self growth and insight. It is not my job to judge you, direct you, or impose my opinions onto your life. We work together to create a place for you in which you can discover what it is that you really need, want and feel outside of other's opinions and influences. It is my job to help you to strengthen your inner voice and the self awareness that allows you to find the answers to your own questions.

Long Beach, California therapist: Zena Caputo, marriage and family therapist
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Zena Caputo

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Kelly Trawczynski, LMSW

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMSW, LCSW
You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or disconnection. Therapy can be the bridge between surviving and truly living. I specialize in helping adults untangle complex layers of trauma, spirituality, and sexuality so they can reconnect to their truest selves. Whether you’re healing from a traumatic event, exploring your sexuality, working through sexual shame, or soothing a wounded inner child, you are welcome here. With over eleven years of experience, I draw from specialized training in EMDR, trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), somatic (mind-body) therapy, sex therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and DBT. Together, we’ll address both the emotional and physical imprints of trauma — building skills to calm anxiety, reclaim safety in your body, and rebuild trust in yourself.

Phoenix, Arizona therapist: Elka Cubacub, licensed clinical social worker
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Elka Cubacub

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi there, and congratulations on taking the first step toward reaching out for help. Finding the right therapist can be hard, but I’ve learned it often comes down to two things: personality and treatment approach. I'll describe what these are for me in an effort to help clarify whether I might be the therapist for you. By nature, I’m calm, compassionate, and intellectually-driven. I like to understand what we do and why, and bring this intentionality to my work as a therapist. I’ve worked across higher levels of care with people navigating eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I feel humbled by the stories that are shared with me and promise not to judge. In my experience, talking alone isn’t always enough, so I use evidence-based, embodied approaches that help you access what’s beneath the surface and shift what keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you reconnect with the full range of human emotions so you can feel more fully alive and move toward what’s meaningful to you.
