Therapists in California

Jamuna Rosner is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adolescents, individuals, and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, attachment-related concerns, and life transitions, including blended family dynamics. Her approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, with a focus on how early relational experiences and nervous system responses shape present-day patterns. She is trained in the Adult Attachment Repair Model (AARM), an experiential modality informed by EMDR principles, and integrates CBT, Motivational Interviewing, collaborative therapy, and IFS-informed parts work. In her work with couples, Jamuna incorporates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to help partners move out of cycles of conflict, improve communication, and build emotional safety and trust. Her style is collaborative, relational, and nonjudgmental, supporting clients in increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and more secure ways of relating.

I am an Associate Therapist and have provided support to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families from diverse backgrounds. A significant part of my work has focused on adolescents and young adults who have experienced domestic violence and sex trafficking. In these roles, I have supported clients as they navigate the impacts of complex trauma, helping them build safety, resilience, and a sense of control over their own lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution- focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and narrative therapy. I believe healing happens when clients feel empowered and understood, so I integrate these modalities in a flexible and collaborative way. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, honoring their strengths, cultural background, and personal goals rather than relying on rigid or prescriptive methods. As a mature female clinician, I bring both life experience and empathy into the therapeutic space. I returned to school later in life, which gives me a personal understanding of what it means to start over, face uncertainty, and pursue growth during times of transition. I am deeply passionate about helping people feel genuinely heard and seen—something many individuals have never experienced while simply trying to meet their most basic needs. Creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel valued is at the core of my work.

I work with people navigating developmental trauma, addiction, depression, and the complicated work of couples relationships. My own path through these same struggles — trauma, addiction, and long-term depression — sparked a nearly twenty-year exploration into meditation and somatic psychotherapy, and shaped how I show up with clients now. I hold a master's in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University and I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Certified Addiction Specialist. I've worked in community mental health and private practice since 2014, with individuals and couples alike. What I care about most is helping people find real, felt change — not just insight, but a shift in the body and nervous system that actually sticks. Outside of sessions, you'll probably find me at the record store, on a trail, or dancing badly in my living room with my wife and daughter. I'd be glad to work with you.

At Alma de Madre, Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy is designed to support mothers navigating pregnancy, birth, and the emotional shifts that follow. Sessions focus on processing anxiety, identity changes, exhaustion, and postpartum challenges in a compassionate, judgment-free space. With trauma-informed care, mothers can reconnect with themselves, release guilt, and move toward healing while adjusting to the realities of motherhood.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist, and Certified LEGO Serious Play Facilitator. I offer a specialized playroom designed to support engaging, developmentally appropriate work with children, teens, and families. I help clients navigate emotional and behavioral regulation challenges, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, parenting stress, and neurodevelopmental differences, including ADHD, Autism, and learning differences. I also support individuals and couples working through relationship and attachment concerns, as well as life transitions across all stages of development. My work extends to women seeking greater emotional balance and clarity, couples looking to strengthen communication and connection, and families striving for more harmony and cohesion. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families, with focused support in women’s wellness, divorce transitions, and families of individuals with special needs, all through an integrated, brain-based approach to care.

Christina Wade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, life transitions, and recovery. Her therapy style is collaborative, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and evidence-based–supporting individuals in reconnecting with their authentic selves.

Hi! I’m Elise, an Associate Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked across a variety of treatment settings, including residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care. I work with Individuals, couples, adolescents and children. I utilize a trauma-informed and eclectic approach, blending evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, while also drawing from Compassion-Focused Therapy to help cultivate your compassionate self and guide you toward treating yourself with the kindness you deserve. For trauma-focused work I pull from DBT and CPT to help my clients gain relief from the hold that trauma may have on them. I also have specialized training in OCD and Eating disorders and am a HAES aligned Clinician. In my work with couples, I utilize techniques derived from the Gottman Method and EFT. I value using humor in therapy and prioritize building strong relationships with my clients so they feel heard, seen, and supported in a nonjudgmental environment. I also find it important to bring attention to the cultural and systemic forces that may shape how you view yourself, helping to ‘zoom out’ and gain a broader understanding of your experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with my cat, hiking, spending time at the beach, and diving into my latest library find. I believe that bringing curiosity, balance, and compassion into life is just as important as the therapeutic work, and I aim to model that approach with the clients I work with.

Hi, I'm Emma. I work with people navigating anxiety, big life transitions, and the deeper process of becoming more authentically themselves. My approach blends body-based trauma work (Somatic Experiencing™) with contemplative practice and depth psychology — because real change happens when we work with the body and nervous system, not just the mind. I hold a Master of Divinity from Naropa University and have trained in various bottom-up modalities. Above all, I meet you where you are, and I'd be honored to walk this next part of your journey with you.
