Finding and embracing your authentic self is a journey that can be challenging. Figuring out how to cope in a healthy way with what the world throws at us can be difficult. I'm interested in working with you to figure out how you want your life and experiences to be, and how to start making your way there. I've been practicing for over 5 years, working mainly with LGBTQ+ young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, gender, and interpersonal communication issues.

Rebeca Zaragoza

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety depression and behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping, and technology use. I became an LCSW because, quite simply, I love people and have the deepest respect for all living things. I have a masters in Social work and background in Psychology, Sociology and Education. I believe that every individual has innate strengths and my goal is to help you tap into yours. Whether you are in a difficult life transition, navigating healthy relationships, or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I am here to empower you so that you can move from feeling "stuck" to feeling capable.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a proud mom and dedicated reader. As someone who identifies as a lifelong learner, I will bring curiosity and warmth to every session. In addition to my private practice, I am a crisis clinician. This background has sharpened my ability to remain grounded, and provide a safe, stable space even when a situation may feel the most chaotic.

Jose Hernandez

Jose Hernandez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.

I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.

Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.

Therapist

If worry, low mood, relationship friction, or chronic procrastination has been running the show, you're in the right place. I'm Ross Grossman, LMFT — for nearly 40 years, I've helped people get unstuck from depression, anxiety, romantic, social, family or occupational issues using practical, evidence-based tools (CBT, REBT, ACT, and clinical hypnotherapy) that create real change, not endless talk.

My work has been featured in Forbes, Men's Health, and Cosmopolitan, and I see clients throughout California by telehealth. Book a free 15-minute consultation and let's see if we're a fit.

Carly Harris

Therapist

Virtual • California


Welcome - I'm so glad you're here. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer couples, family and EMDR therapy sessions to support the treatment of relationship issues, life transitions and trauma. After receiving a bachelor's degree in Communication Studies from Chapman University, I went on to complete a master's degree in marital and family therapy at the University of San Diego. Both have equipped me with the education and experience to address all things involving relationships and communication. I am also trained in both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT). My clinical experience spans various levels of care and settings (outpatient, residential treatment and private practice) treating trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, family issues, and marital conflict.

Teagan Manny

Therapist

Virtual • California


What started as an interest in human behavior and Psychology, blossomed into empathy for the human experience and learning what an incredible privilege it is to hear and witness the vulnerability of others. While obtaining my MA in Marital and Family Therapy, I worked in Community Mental Health, primarily serving low-income families. I have gained a wide range of experiences with many diverse populations. Maintaining cultural competence, and open-mindedness to all is crucial to my identity as a therapist. A safe and supportive environment is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship.
