Anxiety Therapists in California

As a transcendental therapist I hear and guide perspectives to clear what may be stuck. As a non-judging deeply compassionate witness I create safe space to navigate complex layers of your human journey. Some tools I use: relational warmth, mindfulness, breathwork, groundbreaking ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, trauma lens, intuitive integrative care attuning directly to your healing needs through empowerment of the encountered presence.  

Do you feel burned out or stuck in a life that no longer works for you? Does your body feel pained, exhausted, or overly anxious. Do you feel like a phony or that the real you hasn't yet emerged. Well, you've only been this age once. Maybe it's time to give your life an overhaul. Somatic psychology is a cutting-edge approach that works to restore the nervous system to a state of healthy regulation, energy, flow and feeling at home in your body. This provides a foundation of authentic self-esteem that becomes the basis for a big meaningful career and a network of healthy relationships—a life that feels great on the inside. The core of my work uses Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach grounded in neuroscience and the latest in trauma-informed research. It works to discharge bound survival energy, disrupt tension patterns, and reset and revitalize the nervous system. Somatic therapy pairs extremely well with psychedelic work to accelerate the process of healing. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment patterns, and a psychodynamic approach into my work. My main areas of specialization are: - Authentic Career Adaptation - Attachment Strategies in Relationships - Chronic Pain and Health Conditions - Psychedelic Integration - Owning your Identity (LGBT and other) Whether you are new to therapy or have spent years talking about your problems without improvement, you may have been using the wrong approach. If you'd like to learn more about my approach and why it can be more effective than talk therapy, visit my website and schedule a free 30-minute consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

I’m a Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I specialize in evidence-based approaches like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness to create a safe, supportive space for healing. My goal is to empower clients with tools and strategies to build resilience, improve coping skills, and foster lasting positive change.

Are you carrying the weight of childhood trauma, addiction, LGBTQ+ struggles, or neurodivergence? Do these challenges make it hard to connect, thrive, or feel at home in yourself? Feeling lost, exhausted, or unseen can be overwhelming. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to meet expectations while barely holding it together. But you don’t have to do this alone. You deserve to be validated and understood. It's extremely hard to make real, lasting change. Together, we can move toward healing, self-acceptance, and a life that finally feels like yours. My approach is direct, practical, and deeply human. I want you to show up as yourself, without the pressure to mask or code-switch. I believe humor can be healing, and I aim to make this space one where you feel both challenged and supported. This process is a partnership, and we’ll work side by side to create real change. Healing happens in connection, with empathy, honesty, and the right support. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment or expectations. You don’t have to go through this alone. If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. The choice to start therapy isn't easy, but you are not alone on this journey. We live in a cyclical world where everything ebbs and flows and at some point in our lives, we may feel stuck or face certain challenges. We will encounter obstacles, conflicts, painful transitions, grief and loss or a sense of helplessness. As a result, we may feel alone, disconnected, angry, anxious, misunderstood and confused. In a safe environment of warmth, acceptance and compassion, I will work with you to explore and confront the emotional and interpersonal challenges that are bringing you pain or holding you back. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to make better choices, turn goals into realities, and find a greater sense of peace, purpose and freedom. I am passionate about helping people create and maintain deeper connections, with self and others while on their path to healing. I specialize in working with adults and couples on a wide array of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, divorce, infidelity, trauma, body image, identity and self-esteem.  While I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work, both traditional and modern neuroscience and evidence-based, I practice through a holistic lens and a mindful perspective integrating the mind, body and spirit connection.  I received my Master degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage Family Therapy and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UCLA. In addition, I received extensive training on mindfulness, cultural competency, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and am currently in process of obtaining a Clinical Trauma Professional Certification.  

Hi, I am Kirsten. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have always been fascinated by the human experience. My therapeutic style looks at how the past influences our present day functioning. How did you function and what did you believe about yourself before the world told you any different? By becoming emotionally aware and cognizant of our current beliefs, we can begin to heal our past wounds and become whole. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, individualized, transformative experience for each person.

Hi! I am Dr. Megan Pollock. I am a licensed psychologist. A little bit about me, I have been working in the mental health field for approximately 17 years. I have worked with a variety of ages from young kids to the elderly. I am a mother, wife, dog mom, avid exerciser, and psychologist. My approach to working with patients is holistic and developmental with a grounding in evidenced-based treatments. My work and being a mom taught me how important it is to recognize the developmental stage we are at in life. The older I get; the quicker life is going, and I believe we should optimize each day. Be who you want to be today, don’t put off living life. In my work with patients, I aim to help them make the most out of life now!
