Transgender Therapists in California

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 help people explore the self-doubt and dissatisfaction in an otherwise put together life. Your life not so put together? Or falling apart? I can help there too. I believe you already have the qualities to transform your life and your relationships. With the right perspective and support system, difficult times can transition to a stronger, more resilient you. I can provide you with a safe and nurturing environment when life feels overwhelming or challenging. I work from a strength-based and practical perspective that supports self-exploration and healing.

You’re tired from a lifetime of feeling both 'too much' and yet 'not enough'. This overwhelming shame and guilt is preventing you from enjoying healthy connections to yourself and others. You show up readily for others but will not ‘burden' them when you are in need. You try so hard to hide your sensitivity, but know deep inside that this should be a beloved asset. Are you aching to discover yourself, to experience the joy of self acceptance and healthy attachment? Is holding a scarcity mindset or living a life impacted by emotional wounds and intergenerational patterns no longer serving you? You are ready to be seen and to heal. There is help to break the painful intergenerational patterns and heal the shame you are have been carrying. Imagine, being able to communicate your needs and your inner truth to yourself and others without fear. Your journey in a BIPOC or LGBTQ+ body deserves recognition. It is time for you to fall deeply in secure, authentic love with yourself and others.

I am Meshylle Martin-Ferido, a dedicated Doctor of Nursing Practice with deep expertise in psychiatric and mental health care. Over the years, I've honed my skills as a Nurse Practitioner, successfully treating and assessing a diverse range of mental health disorders. I'm passionate about creating compassionate and tailored treatment plans for each of my patients. My journey in healthcare began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which I earned in 2006, and since then, I've expanded my knowledge with a Master's degree in Family Nurse Practice and a Doctorate degree in Nursing focused on Psychiatric and Mental Health. My professional experience spans reputable institutions such as Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Molina Healthcare, and Novum Behavioral Health, where I've always prioritized patient well-being and high-quality care. I'm proud to be a part of esteemed organizations, including the American Nurses Association. Continual professional growth and learning are important to me, and I strive to integrate the most current practices into my care approach. I am here to support you with empathy and expertise on your health journey. Whether you need help managing mental health challenges or guidance, I am committed to providing you with the best care possible. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: My treatment philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-centered care. I believe in the importance of treating the whole person, focusing on mental health. My approach involves thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans that consider each patient’s unique needs and circumstances. I prioritize open communication, ensuring patients feel heard and respected. I value collaboration and utilize a blend of evidence-based practices and holistic methods to promote healing and well-being.

There is a lot of “noise” in our lives that challenges our sense of self, our direction, our place in this world that causes self-doubt and conflict (within ourselves and with others). Using a flexible, client-centered approach I focus on what parts of that “noise” the client seeks clarity with, and how to quiet that “noise” to finally hear yourself. We set goals for therapy together in a safe and affirming space. My private practice also includes a psychological concierge service for individuals navigating complex life crises that involving multiple entities (family/group, hospital/treatment facility, jail, court, private security services, attorneys). Call for a free consultation.

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years….but there is more than an education or experience.  My work has been filled with the lives of people I have been able to witness heal traumas, or find a new journey, or come to themselves more fully.  Counseling may bring relief, recovery, tools to use or release from pain. Healing is a pathway and I get to walk beside you. I will hold the hope until you can hold it, and I will be honored to go on your journey with you.
