Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
My practice is different because I pay equal attention to the mind and body. I pursued board certifications in clinical health psychology and behavioral sleep medicine, which required me to undergo thousands of hours of training and examination beyond my Ph.D. to discover intricate connections between the mind and body. I try to listen more than I talk and I am also an active therapist--- I share when I feel I have something of value to add. My primary therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, which helps clients explore and get in-tuned with their own personal values and make changes from within that allow them to live in a way that aligns with those values. I also have extensive experience in helping clients with complex sleep disorders and offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and beyond. For clients who have had traumatic or unpleasant experiences that continue to resurface, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). My top specialties include working with clients experiencing chronic pain, medical problems, sleep issues, and life / work-related stressors.

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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.

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.

Aligned Counseling LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCMH, LPC-MHSP
I believe that we are more than what we struggle with. In today's world women are often held to, or holding themselves to, a high standard. We strive to "do it all" and aim for perfection. We are often left feeling tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may be juggling a high stakes job, a new medical diagnosis, or simply trying to keep everything together. It is my honor to work with you to help you better understand your needs, your expectations, and your wants - essentially, to find the you that's underneath all of the stressors.

Listen, life does not have to hurt ALL the time, & it is way too short to STAY unhappy & overwhelmed. You have the power to take back control of your life, job, family, & future.
