Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in California

Hi, I’m Afshin (pronounced of-sheen), a queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with teens, young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and neurodivergent clients who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, self-doubt, or the challenges of living in a world that often expects them to fit into narrow boxes. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge limiting stories, build practical coping skills, and create lives that feel more authentic and sustainable. Whether we're processing difficult emotions, exploring identity, or celebrating small victories, our work together is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful growth.

Dear future clients, I'm a bilingual therapist fluent in both English and Spanish, dedicated to providing compassionate support and guidance to Neurodivergent individuals (both Autism and ADHD), anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I create a warm and welcoming space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate their mental health journey. I also offer neurodivergent assessments and group counseling. I am supervised by Cassandra Holt Kimbell, LPCC- S 11336, at Freestyle Supervision and EMDR Group LLC. My approach is rooted in empathy and openness, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I'm committed to helping individuals uncover their inner strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience in the face of life's challenges. If you're struggling with managing Autism or ADHD symptoms, anxiety and depression, or navigating significant life changes, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards a brighter tomorrow, where you feel empowered to overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life. Reach out today and take a step towards positive change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia and California. I am also the Founder and CEO of Calibrated Wellness LLC— a practice that aspires to create hope, highlights resiliency, and guides healing that leads to calibration. With over 15 years of mental health experience I have served in various environments to include but not limited to an intensive In-Patient Program, Hospital Emergency Unit, Military Focused Programs and Private Practices. I often work with people working through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, OCD, Dysfunctional Relationships, Dual Diagnosis and other Serious Mental Illnesses. As a culturally responsive, trauma-informed psychotherapist, my priority is to partner with people who may need assistance in their process to reconnect with their inner wisdom, stabilize, restore emotional balance, and move forward with clarity and confidence!

I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and cultural humility, knowing that every person carries wisdom about their own life. I believe healing happens when we allow vulnerability to meet understanding, and when your story is held with care and respect.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual's unique needs. I believe mental health treatment should be accessible, personalized, and focused on helping patients achieve lasting wellness. What sets my practice apart is accessibility and responsiveness. I offer next-day appointments with no long waitlists, and patients can typically be seen within 24 hours. With availability seven days a week from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, I make it easier for patients to access care when they need it most. I take a collaborative approach to treatment, combining clinical expertise with genuine compassion to help patients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.

Hi, I’m Miguel. I’m a warm, authentic, and empowering therapist dedicated to helping you feel seen and supported. My approach is modern and collaborative; I view therapy as a partnership where we work together to foster growth and clarity. I specialize in working with individuals feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating shifts in identity. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and a member of the community myself, I am committed to providing a space where you never have to justify who you are. I welcome clients of all backgrounds with respect and warmth. In our sessions, expect a mix of humor, validation, and gentle challenge. I integrate ACT, IFS, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Solution-Focused techniques to tailor our work to your specific needs. You’re in the driver’s seat—I’m here with the map to help you reconnect with your values and build a life aligned with your true self. If you’re looking for a therapist who is real, culturally aware, and invested in your journey, let’s connect.

Are you finding it difficult to form or maintain meaningful relationships? Struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, or feeling like you're not “enough” no matter how much you achieve? Perhaps you appear successful on the outside, but inside, you're overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply not feeling like yourself. You’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate this alone either. You may have tried to manage things on your own, ignoring the signs, pushing through, hoping things will get better. But if you're reading this, something inside you knows it's time for a different approach. Therapy can be that turning point. Together, we’ll work to understand what's beneath the surface and begin to build a more empowered, fulfilling life. As an immigrant from Central America, I deeply understand the cultural pressures, generational expectations, and identity struggles that can weigh heavily on us. I also know the courage it takes, especially in communities where therapy is often stigmatized to ask for help. There is nothing weak about seeking support. In fact, it’s one of the bravest things you can do for yourself. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where your lived experiences are acknowledged and honored. My trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach ensures that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your story is unique, and the healing process should reflect that. I work with adults navigating: Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm Relationship and attachment challenges Grief, loss, and life transitions First-generation identity struggles and intergenerational trauma Immigration-related stress and cultural adjustment Burnout, perfectionism, and low self-worth, even in high-achieving individuals The emotional impact of racism and systemic oppression on BIPOC communities Whether you're seeking clarity, connection, or peace of mind, we’ll co-create a path that aligns with your values and goals.
