I am passionate about supporting young adults and first-generation individuals as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the many pressures that can come with finding your place in the world. I understand that balancing personal goals, family expectations, relationships, career decisions, and cultural experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to create a path that feels authentic to you.

My background includes both direct clinical practice and consulting with schools and community-based organizations to help strengthen the way mental health services are delivered. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how our environments, relationships, identities, and communities can influence our emotional well-being.

I deeply value the healing journey and believe therapy works best as a collaborative process. My role is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels meaningful to you. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of centeredness in your life.

Hello,

I’m Ermelinda, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 10+ years of experience in providing therapy to adults, children, and adolescents. Do you feel stuck, tired, and not being able to function in your daily life? Are you struggling to balance work, relationships, and life? Many times, we experience loss, grief, anxiety, stress, and depression. I look forward to helping you in your journey to healing. Life is hard and sometimes all you need is just a push.

I love doing this work! I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients, to partner with them, support them in their journey, and witness their growth.

I have been practicing therapy for over 15 years. I graduated from San Diego State in 2005 and have helped people work through problems ranging from anxiety and depression, to relationship and health problems. I have worked in residential and intensive outpatient programs but for the past 5 years I have been providing therapy through Telehealth. Mostly I have found people to be astounding in their strength and resiliency and have greatly enjoyed being part of their growth process.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a fellowship in integrative psychiatry. I take a holistic approach that looks at you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. I want our work together to feel collaborative, practical, and personal to you. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we create a plan that fits your life.

I'm Karlianne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco, seeing clients virtually across California and Florida. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship strain, identity questions, and sexual concerns, and I offer an authentic, humor-friendly space to figure out what you actually need.

Therapy is a way of showing up for yourself, a path of self discovery where you can reconnect with who you are today and the life you truly want. I’ve supported people navigating addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety, and I believe deeply in meeting you exactly where you are and wherever you feel ready to begin. Together, our sessions become a collaborative journey, with me holding safe, steady space for you as you grow into the person you’ve always had it within you to become.

I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
