I work with students dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Whether you’re looking for a place to talk things through, manage stress, or work through something deeper, I’d be honored to support you. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—just a willingness to show up.
It's midnight and your up feeling anxious about that upcoming exam. You can't focus because you are trying to deal with that knot in your stomach called stress from a recent break up. You know you're capable of doing more, but right now your feeling unmotivated and are spending more time overthinking than living and enjoying your life. So I am here to tell you; Enough is Enough. It’s time to reclaim your life! I am a Licensed Clinician specializing in women’s mental health. I help young adults and college students with managing aspects of their, personal, professional, and family lives. I strive to help women who feel that they have to do everything and be everything for everyone; recognize that what they need and want matters too. My work also includes providing therapy to women who are having a difficult time adjusting after a breakup or divorce. I help empower women to regain self-esteem, set boundaries, and recognize their self-worth. I believe that my role as your therapist is to provide you with a safe, supportive and collaborative environment. Through therapy, I will support and empower you to make wanted changes in your life. My approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to meet your individual needs and goals. Whether you are dealing with a temporary problem or want to engage longer term to work on more challenging issues, I can help. I absolutely love what I do, and am truly passionate about women’s mental health. I believe every woman has the potential for satisfaction and fulfillment in life, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in this new journey.
Client-centered, holistic practice with creative and evidence -based approaches.
We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move through life with more self-awareness and confidence.

Please note: I am only accepting referrals for waitlist. With nine years experience in the field, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults to treat a variety of needs, including mental health disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, family and relationship dynamics, and adjustment to life changes/stresses. I believe everyone has the potential for healing and growth that is personally meaningful to them. I have a grounded and positive attitude in sessions, and a collaborative and strengths-based therapeutic approach. I emphasize anti-oppressive practices, and I am a gender-affirming therapist with a passion and expertise for working with transgender, non-binary, and LGBQ+ communities. I use person-centered, narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapy interventions to provide personalized and integrative treatment for each client. I have extensive training and experience in working with trans clients, including support with gender dysphoria and providing assessment and documentation for gender-affirming medical care. Therapy is a partnership between client and therapist on a journey of healing and transformation. As your therapist, it is a privilege to support you in gaining insight and resolution to achieve the change you want within yourself, in your relationships, and in your life. I look forward to discussing how we can work together to achieve your goals.
I've been practicing for 12+ years and in recent years have realized that I love working with individual women 15+yo, so I began catering my practice ONLY to this population! Please check out my website - I hope it will answer many of your questions, but please reach out to me by phone or email with any additional questions. Also, though you can book an appointment directly through my website and I try to keep those options updated, please contact me if you'd like to make an appointment but none of the times listed work for you. This has been an incredibly difficulty time dealing with world/US events in addition to school and life transitions and I'd be glad to help you navigate whatever areas of life are bringing you to counseling at this time.

I provide a non-judgmental, trauma informed, holistic and caring approach with a splash of humor.

Hi, I’m Ben Borkan, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Gestalt Therapist. I primarily work with couples using Crucible® Therapy and Gestalt Therapy. However, I occasionally see individuals who are looking to work on their own relationships. I did not initially start out seeing couples. I began my career in wilderness therapy, where I guided groups of young adults and saw the impact of social relationships on individuals’ development, both from family systems and also in the healing work that can be accomplished in a group setting. My work in wilderness therapy inspired me to pursue clinical social work at Smith College School for Social Work where I received my MSW. In the past decade I have worked in a variety of settings, practicing various modalities with individuals, couples, families and groups. Therapy combines both my passion for learning and my desire to help others grow. Gestalt and Crucible Therapy are two approaches I find most empowering both personally and professionally. While different, each approach is strengths-based and takes a holistic and real view of people, and how relationships and marriage work. They are also backed with research and evidence that supports their effectiveness in helping people with their relationships. I received my Certificate in Gestalt Therapy at Gestalt Institute of the Rockies in Golden, CO where I learned how to work with people, including myself, to rewire obstacles to authenticity and intimacy. More recently, I began training in Crucible® Therapy; an approach that incorporates neuroscience to help people move past projections, behaviors, and thoughts that inhibit intimacy. I take pride in the work I do and do “the work” from these approaches in my personal life. I want to share what I have learned to help people experience similar sustained and meaningful change in their relationships.
I have been working with college students for over 15 years. I understand that adjusting to a new phase in life can be challenging and overwhelming. As a licensed mental health counselor I will help you navigate through this difficult time.
Are you self-aware, but still stuck in the same painful patterns? Feeling things intensely and struggling with emotional balance? Can't get your mind to calm down or your thoughts to stop racing? Healing, growth, and inner calm are absolutely possible. With 15 years experience working in social services, first as a health educator and then as a licensed therapist, there's not much I haven't seen or heard before. I use science-backed methods to identify what's blocking progress, and create personalized approaches that address root causes, not just the symptoms. My style is conversational & collaborative. I believe each person is more than a diagnosis & I work with you to identify the unique thought/emotion patterns and nervous system reactions you couldn't spot on your own, and create a personalized treatment approach which ensures therapy actually works.
Are you struggling with procrastination and difficulty getting your work done? Or maybe you can't sleep or feel constantly exhausted. I support students looking for support and practical tools to help them manage the pressure of school and applying for jobs. I have extensive experience working with college students here in California.
The transition to college or graduate school can be a time of tremendous change. Adapting to new environments, relationships and levels of independence can feel overwhelming in even the best of circumstances. For those who are navigating mental health challenges, complicated family or friend dynamics, shifts in identity, grief, or loss, that transition can generate feelings of anxiety, panic or paralysis that may affect daily functioning. I was a client long before I became a therapist, so I know how daunting it can be to open yourself up to a stranger – to let them see those private parts of yourself that might have been a source of judgment, fear, pain or shame. It took me many years to ask for help, in part because I viewed it as a sign of weakness. Now, through the lens of both my professional and lived experiences, I see this first step you are taking for what it is – one of the ultimate signs of strength. I honor the courage it took to access that strength. I can’t guarantee that the work ahead will be easy – but you won’t have to do it alone. My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are and walk with you as you move toward where you want to be. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is authentic, safe and non-judgmental. My approach to our work together is relationship-based and trauma-informed. I believe that therapy is most effective when the connection between client and therapist is grounded in trust and compassion. I invite you to reach out so that we can explore, together, whether I might be the right person to join you on your journey toward new insights, self-awareness and growth. Please note that discounts are available to full-time students on a case-by-case basis.
Psychiatry and primary care stand at the heart of holistic healthcare, combining the expertise of mental and physical well-being to treat the whole person. In today’s world, where the complexities of life often challenge both the mind and body, the integration of psychiatry and primary care is more essential than ever. This collaboration not only addresses physical ailments but also recognizes the profound impact mental health has on overall wellness. By bridging the gap between emotional and physical care, psychiatry and primary care create a comprehensive approach, empowering individuals to lead healthier, more balanced lives. Together, they offer hope, healing, and the opportunity for every person to achieve their full potential, mentally and physically.
Hello! My name is Allisha, and I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping women and non-binary individuals navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, family concerns, better understanding themselves, relationships and building effective tools. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, while gently challenging maladaptive thoughts to foster growth and healing. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their emotions, including uncovering inner childhood experiences that shape their reactions and actions today. Using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR , I aim to provide practical tools and insights to help you overcome obstacles and achieve emotional well-being. Together, we can work toward your goals and create positive, lasting changes. I look forward to connecting with you!
I offer flexible scheduling for those who need it - we can meet weekly, bi-weekly, or 'grab & go' style where you pick up an appointment as needed. I practice 'relational, client-centered' therapy where you are the leader in the work we do together. I value the client-therapist relationship & show up as a whole person therapist - if I cannot provide competent care & support for your therapeutic needs, I will work with you to find you the therapist you deserve. I primarily see individuals experiencing life overwhelm, chronic illness, perinatal or postpartum concerns, identity exploration, & those in (or interested in) the medical, human services, or first responder fields.
My name is Caitlin and I am a licensed individual and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. I enjoy helping people become their authentic selves through the creation of a strong therapeutic alliance in which people feel comfortable addressing negative thoughts and processing life experiences. I support individuals working to overcome life's challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and parenting difficulties. I also have specialized training in working with transgender and gender exploring individuals.
Do you worry about the future? Would you describe yourself as having difficulty with perfectionism, relationships with family & friends, social anxiety or identity? We are a small practice with two therapists--Spencer & Carlie who love providing therapy to young adults as they navigate this exciting and nerve wracking time moving from childhood and dependence to adulthood and independence. We often work with young adults who may have had therapy in high school but did not previously find therapy helpful (often due to a lack of agency in picking their therapist, misunderstanding or invalidation of their experiences, disruptions in confidentiality or lack of concrete coping skills/goals worked on). We provide a reparative experience where clients feel genuinely supported and able to advocate and ask for what they need. We use a variety of different therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal-Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Based Therapy, EMDR, Goal-oriented Therapy and Mindfulness. Our clients often move towards a feeling of confidence, improved relationships and belief in their abilities to handle any challenges that may come their way.
