About Junie
Is that your intuition talking, or is your trauma misleading you?
Trauma presents itself differently in everyone, whether it be PTSD from an accident, being part of an unhealthy relationship, losing a loved one, or many other things that you may not realize.
Together, we’ll uncover these traumas and practice different coping methods so you can live your life free of your stressors. And for those who are ready to live life without disturbing clinical symptoms, there’s EMDR intensive therapy.
As a first generation Filipino-American, I know how important it is to find comfort and safety while in therapy: to be able to speak freely, without fear of being judged or shamed. I encourage my clients to lead their sessions in a way that makes them feel most comfortable.
One of my driving forces as a therapist is to be able to inspire clients to break away from toxic relational and cultural dynamics. They are at the forefront of my desire to become exemplary in breaking generational patterns that no longer serve them.
In our work together we can create a happier, healthier life by understanding your trauma and strengthening the relationships around you. I see adults, couples and families in our practice and can render services in English/Tagalog. I am trained in EMDR and Gottman Method of Couples Therapy.

About Angie
Mental health doesn’t discriminate – neither does the power of therapy.
It doesn’t only affect you as an individual, but it affects families and relationships. I’ll help you better understand yourself and your mental health – whether you do that as a family, a couple, or on your own – so you can gain insight, clarity, and healing that will help you feel better about yourself, your life, and your relationships.
As a native-Spanish-speaking Latina, I understand the importance of culture in each of our lives and always make it a point to provide culturally sensitive therapy.
I truly enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Compassion is at the core of my practice, and I’ll always ensure that you feel seen, supported, and safe in our sessions.
I see individuals, adolescents and couples in our practice.

About Noemi
Sometimes, talking about your feelings is difficult, whether that's due to not having the words, not understanding how you feel, or simply not knowing where to start.
My approach in client care comes from an attachment and trauma-responsive perspective. I strive to listen, seek understanding, and create an environment where my clients feel heard and understood. With empathy and nurturing, I am able to assist clients in slowing down and creating an environment where clients feel safe to express themselves.
In my work, I have assisted children, adults, men, and families with young and adult children in identifying and naming barriers, and working through challenges to help them live their most fulfilled lives. In collaborating with men, I approach the therapeutic process with a focus on dismantling societal expectations, creating a space where they can explore and articulate their emotions without judgment, fostering personal growth and emotional well-being.
As a Latinx first-generation bilingual woman, my experience and skills have informed my clinical approach and have helped me connect with diverse clients. Thank you for stopping by, I look forward to working with you.
I see children and adults, can render services in English/ Spanish and I am a trained Sandplay Therapist.

About Jessica
Do you struggle to understand or name your feelings, needs and desires?
Do you find it difficult to communicate freely and feel disconnected, unheard or unsafe?
Perhaps anxiety or past trauma is burdening you from living a full life. It is my mission to create a safe space for my clients to heal and grow, affirm what works for them, and encourage personal freedom.
As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to helping individuals, couples and families build and maintain healthier relationships, as well as supporting and encouraging growth and confidence.
Identifying as a Queer Latina Woman and being a First Generation American of immigrant parents from Central America, I have a deep understanding of the importance of finding a therapist who recognizes the intersectionality of the diverse populations of Los Angeles.
As a therapist, I believe in bringing one’s whole self into the therapy space and addressing the hard questions. I am passionate about assisting my clients in finding their inner strength through client lead sessions, cultural exploration, and trauma work.
My therapeutic approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, gender affirming therapy and have worked in community mental health for over 8 years.
I have specialized training in trauma practice, particularly around experiences of abuse, violence, and intergenerational trauma. I see adults, couples, and families in our practice and can render services in English/Spanish.

About Elaine
Therapy is an opportunity to explore your patterns of being and shifts in relationships. I’m committed to co-creating a space where together we unravel your experiences, challenge unhelpful cycles, and facilitate personal growth through self-compassion.
My person-centered approach encourages vulnerability, awakens hope, and honors multiple truths.
As a 1.5 Generation Filipino-American woman, I value creating a safe space to explore experiences of immigrant families and process difficulties related to intergenerational dynamics.
I’m passionate about helping you understand all the ways you show up in relationships and gain clarity around your needs and boundaries. Through the Gottman Method and/or Discernment Counseling, my aim is to provide couples with guidance in navigating the health and direction of their partnership.
I continue to support young adults and individuals through grief and loss, family dysfunction/ACE’s, and PTSD using a trauma-informed modality called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in sessions and Intensive format.
With a creative arts background, art and play are pillars in my practice with children and teens both in talk therapy and EMDR.

About Kristiana
Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Are your past experiences obstructing your thoughts regularly? Do you have challenges in your relationships?
My priority as a therapist is to help you develop skills and resilience in order to not only cultivate healing in your present, but to also ensure that you have tools for the future. I see couples and individuals who want help reconnecting, managing conflict, navigate the complexities of cultural expectations, talking through hurts and identifying what's standing in the way of them effectively communicating their needs.
I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. I employ an eclectic theoretical orientation, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, narrative, systems, trauma informed techniques such as EMDR and Gottman Method of couples therapy. I empower clients to identify their positive attributes and leverage them as powerful tools for personal growth.
As a Latinx woman, I understand that every individual operates in ways, which may have been established generationally. It is my role to make you feel comfortable, support you through challenging times and assist you in identifying challenges that prevent you from living your full life.

About Izabella
I embrace an integrative approach, tailoring techniques to your unique style and needs. Whether it's somatic work, art therapy, or mindfulness, my practice is grounded in trauma-informed, social justice, and client-centered principles. I am committed to continuously educating myself about the impact of systemic inequalities on mental health and strive to create a space where we can openly address and navigate these dynamics. I strive to foster an environment where you feel not only supported in your personal journey but also heard and validated in your experiences. Lastly, I deeply recognize the intersectionality of identities and the influence they have on well-being. I am committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all walks of life feel valued, respected, and heard.
When working couples, my aim is to foster a supportive environment in which couples are able to disarm conflict and understand each other's needs. We will collaboratively explore your unique dynamics, build resilience, and develop the tools needed to navigate challenges, ultimately guiding you towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship. When working with children, I incorporate creative and expressive modalities to enhance communication and understanding. Additionally, I actively cultivate a symbiotic relationship with parents, recognizing the crucial role they play in the therapeutic process and working collaboratively to support the well-being and growth of their children.
Lastly, I recognize that each client brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the therapeutic process, and I approach our work together with humility and an open heart. Together, we will embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery, uplifting you to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
I see children, adolescents, individuals and couples at our practice.

TESTIMONIAL
"Junie and her team follow the protocol and truly cares about their clients"
"EMDR transformed my life. have been in therapy since childhood and it wasn't until I saw Junie for an EMDR intensive where I truly started healing my traumas and feeling emotionally and physically better.
EMDR helped me regain control, make changes in my relationships, manage my emotions better and lessen my anxiety. Junie and her team follow the protocol and truly cares about their clients, their safety and successes. I can't recommend this practice and EMDR intensive enough, my only regret is that I didn't find them sooner in my healing journey."
