Christian Bumpous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CDWF
“We get better in connection” is one of the mantras I live by. And what better way to make that happen than in therapy? We all know what it’s like to feel unwell and in the struggle.

Paigean Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, PMH-C, RYT-200
In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say “yes” when we really mean “no”. And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we’re striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Emily St. Amant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-MHSP-S (TN), LPCC (CA)
My approach is very down-to-earth, and I aim to use research-backed therapy interventions in a way that’s accessible and helpful. Those who work with me can expect to experience a safe and supportive space. I believe no two people need the same approach. The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to all potential clients to ensure we are a great fit.

ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare
Psychologist, PhD, HSP, PSYPACT+California
At ScienceWorks Behavioral Healthcare, we specialize in evidence-based therapy and psychological assessment for complex, co-occurring mental health conditions, with a focus on ADHD, autism, OCD, trauma, insomnia, and chronic illness. Our psychologist-led team understands that many clients come to us after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or stuck in treatments that didn’t quite fit.
We take a neuroaffirming, science-informed approach, recognizing that your brain, identity, and lived experience all matter. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all therapy, we work collaboratively to understand your unique “neurotype” and build a personalized plan that supports real, sustainable change.
Our services are designed for individuals whose challenges are often interconnected—because conditions like ADHD, autism, trauma, and OCD rarely occur in isolation. Through comprehensive assessments, specialized therapies (ERP, ACT, CBT, EMDR, CBT-I), and executive function coaching, we help you gain clarity, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life.
ScienceWorks offers secure telehealth services across California and PSYPACT-participating states, making expert care more accessible wherever you are. We also coordinate with prescribers and other providers when needed, creating a more integrated and effective treatment experience.
Our practice was founded by Dr. Kiesa Kelly, a clinical psychologist and former professor, whose work is grounded in both research and lived experience. This perspective shapes our commitment to providing care that is not only evidence-based, but also compassionate, affirming, and deeply human.
If you’re looking for therapy that truly understands complexity—and helps you move toward clarity, confidence, and meaningful change—we’re here to help.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
At PSYCHē, we specialize in pairing clients with their perfect therapist. We’re a private network of expert, hand-selected psychologists and counselors across multiple states, offering solid, research-based therapies that work. Our services include Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, DBT Skills Groups, RO-DBT Skills Classes, and Child & Adolescent Therapy.
Not sure where to start? That’s where we come in. The first step is our Consultation Package: a 30-minute online meeting with a Therapy Services Specialist (TSS) who knows the right questions to ask. We’ll review your history, goals, and what you’re looking for (and not looking for) in a therapist. From there, we match you with the clinician best suited to your needs.
The Consultation Package is $650 and includes your 30-minute meeting, record review, written recommendations, and your first therapy session with your matched clinician, so you can start therapy sooner. You’ll also be introduced to your Clinical Concierge, who will guide and support you throughout treatment. If the fit isn’t perfect, we’ll make it right.
With immediate openings and some of the top therapists in the nation, available in multiple states, let us do the searching for you. Schedule your Consultation Package today.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 35 years. I take all of my ongoing trainings to stay up to date. I really enjoy doing EMDR because it allows people to process trauma - from childhood trauma experiences to current traumas. I also work with improving relationships, improving communication and internal growth. I work with addiction and all that goes with that such as low self-esteem and personal growth.

Sally Roesch
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Sally is a master at working with singles who have relationship issues (or are looking to get into a relationship). She knows how to help you figure out what you want, feel like you deserve it, and then, make it more likely that your dreams become reality. She can quickly help you identify places where you get stuck or get in your own way and work with you to make change happen fast. Sally's passionate stance of "keeping it real," combined with her belief in staying up-to-date on the latest trends, also makes her the perfect fit for “salty” teens.
She has experience helping people with relationship distress, mood disorders, anxiety, impulsive behavior, oppositional defiant disorder, and teens at risk for personality disorders. Besides singles and teens, Sally really knows her DBT and has taught the skills to all ages in groups and individual sessions.
*Sally is also intensively trained in Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT), a specialized treatment for Chronic Depression, Anorexia-Nervosa, and disorders of Over-Control (OC). Radically-Open DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and direct communication. **
