Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
I didn’t become a therapist to sit quietly and nod. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up honestly and do meaningful work, not perform or filter yourself.
My perspective was shaped by years working closely with people navigating difficult and high-stakes situations. That experience taught me that people’s reactions, patterns, and defenses make sense when you understand what they’ve been through.
I value authenticity, honesty, and being fully present in my work. I show up as a real person, and you can expect directness, respect, and genuine engagement.
I also place a high value on continuing to learn and deepen my understanding of trauma and human behavior. This commitment helps me better understand my clients and support meaningful, lasting change.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
As a relational psychoanalyst, I am trained to listen to what lives beneath your words: the unspoken feelings and unconscious processes that can leave you feeling stuck and quietly unfulfilled. Contemporary psychoanalysis helps us make sense of your life story and gently uncover the parts of yourself kept hidden for safekeeping. I appreciate that beginning the healing process can feel like a profound risk, especially when it means trusting another human being, even a therapist. My approach is shaped by who you are, what you need, and what we come to understand together.
Some of my specialties include working with survivors of childhood abuse (in all of its unfortunate forms); complex trauma; codependency and accommodation; narcissism (including relatives of narcissists); major depression; dissociative disorders (including DID); and dreams and nightmares. I see dreams as gifts our minds bestow upon us on a daily basis.
I absolutely love what I do. I learn from my patients every single day. I practice in person in Los Angeles, and am licensed in the states of CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I welcome you to reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Dr. Kirsten Christensen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I'm a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy.
Every person is unique, and therapy should be the same - that’s why I take a tailored, individualized approach that’s flexible to meet your needs and goals. The foundation of my work is a multicultural-feminist perspective that positions you as the expert of your own experience. I take a warm, collaborative approach to help you get clarity about who you are and how you want your life to look. I also integrate evidence-based interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and relational frameworks. My goals involve helping clients move upstream to identify and resolve systemic and personal patterns that keep them stuck and working together to find more joy.
I also believe that the personal is political. More often than not, sociopolitical systems of oppression like racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, and more directly impact mental health. As a result, I take an actively anti-racist, intersectional, identity-affirming approach with clients across a broad spectrum of marginalization and privilege.
I specialize in working with college students, graduate students, young adults, and professionals in Massachusetts on a variety of common issues including: mood (anxiety, depression), identity development, life transitions and adjustment, ADHD, relationship issues, academic and career issues, and burnout.
