Not accepting couples... fully accepting you! I work exclusively with adults in individual therapy.

If you’ve been deep in the therapist scroll spiral, pause. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, welcome.

Wondering why you feel overwhelmed all the time? Why you can't stop worrying about everything? Or why you get so frustrated over small things? Let's talk about it. You don’t have to do it all alone. I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnoses, men’s issues, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting first responders, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, student-athletes, and individuals exploring their role in relationships.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, you're not broken - and you’re not too much. Life can hit hard, and therapy can offer the space to slow down, be real, and reconnect with your strength.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health, as well as a degree in criminology. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective.

Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to move forward.

I know starting therapy can feel awkward. Sharing your inner world with someone new takes courage — but it can also be the start of genuine growth and healing. My goal is to make that step easier by creating a space that feels safe, warm, and grounded in understanding.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California, educated in Oregon, where my appreciation for nature, reflection, and connection began. I provide therapy for adults in California, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity transitions, and life stress.

Over the years, I’ve worked in hospitals, rural community clinics, emergency departments, psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient psychotherapy, which has given me a deep respect for resilience and the many ways people adapt and heal.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


With more than a decade of experience treating trauma, I work with clients in a way that’s hopeful, grounded, and authentic. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples through depression, anxiety, postpartum challenges, and the complex hurdles that can get in the way of deep connection. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by providing a steady presence during their most vulnerable transitions. Whether you are navigating the early stages of parenthood or looking to heal from past wounds, I am dedicated to helping you strengthen the relationships that matter most.

I believe that therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My background has taught me that real healing happens when we approach our struggles with a mix of professional expertise and genuine human warmth. When I am not in the office, I find my own balance through quiet moments of mindfulness and enjoying the local scenery, which helps me stay present and energized for the work we do together. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me as we navigate the real-life challenges that life brings.

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed. I work with emotional regulation, relational rifts, enhancing communication, and acceptance of self.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

Youa Lee

Youa Lee

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes deeply in people’s capacity to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where my training emphasized on relational, trauma-informed, and socially conscious care. These are all values that continue to guide my work today.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma; including childhood wounds, relational trauma, and complex PTSD. Often these experiences leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. You may feel stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but no longer served you. My goal is to offer a space where you don’t have to carry those experiences alone, where you can gain insight into what may be standing between you and the life you imagine, and begin to reconnect with the strengths that have always been within you.

John Claros

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have worked with clients in English/Spanish helping adults with co-occurring disorders, at-risk youth, children, adolescents and veterans, with exposure to trauma, neglect, abuse, and parents with parenting issues. Working with these clients early on in my career motivated me to help those who cannot help themselves. Working as a therapist is a rewarding experience as well as a privilege to be invited into another person's life. I find that in joining clients on their journey to make changes and overcome the difficulties in their lives it enables them to discover their best self.

As a therapist providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy, I utilize several frameworks derived from a number of models such as Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and Narrative.

I have certifications in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, Crisis Oriented Recovery Systems Model, and Managing and Adapting Practices. Also trained in Gottman Couples and EMDR.

I am currently a licensed psychologist in California, having previously worked as a psychotherapist under supervision for over 14 years. As an independent practitioner, I am accepting new clients, both in person and by remote means.

I seem to work especially well with younger and middle-aged people who are creatively inclined and having difficulty with self-realization and/or interpersonal relationships, from important relationships to everyday interactions with others. In the past, I have worked in community-based and private addiction recovery settings across a wide demographic. I specialize in trauma informed treatment that includes PTSD, depression, anxiety and phobias.
