Hello, I am John Avitabile, thank you for contacting me in your search for a mental health professional to help make your life a little bit more rewarding and enjoyable. I am licensed to practice in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist and have come to the practice of psychology late in life after four previous successful careers. This life journey has provided me with an unusually broad combination of formal education and real-life work experience that is quite unusual in this field.

Hello, I'm Heather Litke, a licensed professional counselor. It is my honor and joy to support and witness people creating their inner strength. As a seasoned counselor, I have had the opportunity to assist clients in self-discovery and transforming blocks to a happy and fulfilling life. I draw from a tool kit of CBT, Humanistic, Insight Oriented, and Spiritual approaches to support clients in achieving desired changes. My specialties are anxiety, depression, substance abuse, chronic illness, non-medical pain management, and more.

I am a skilled Therapist who enjoys helping people find themselves and make the most out of their life. I utilize CBT, Mindfulness, Stoic Principles, and Logos Therapy and understand the mind and body connection. I can use the concepts in Neuro-Science to help a person get back on track in their life after sickness or an extended period of isolation. I work best with those with anxiety, Depression, or Addiction issues but I am trained in Trauma-informed care, which means that I understand how past traumas affect current life experiences and how to deal with them.

It hurts every day- despite you doing the best you can to distract yourself, the minute you stop pre-occupying yourself with distractions, you connect immediately with that emotional pain inside and the emptiness and alienation. The emotional pain comes from disconnection. You don’t feel your partner is responsive and present with you. You don’t feel wanted and needed or important. When you try to address this, it doesn't go anywhere, or you end up having a fight, which makes you feel even more devastated and distant from each other. You work so hard and give so much, you are still feeling not good enough and get no acknowledgement.

Have you struggled to get and stay organized - despite trying every possible planner, routine, and system? Have you noticed that you have difficulty relaxing, even when you have time to yourself? Have you ever been told that you move around or space out a lot? I specialize in working with adults with ADHD and I can help. You might have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child or you might have gotten diagnosed just last week. Our work together can help you process any anxiety or shame around ADHD symptoms. I can help you navigate social, relationship, and work settings, and help you better understand your brilliant neurodivergent brain.

Does it seem like your relationship is out of balance? All you and your partner do, it seems like, is fight? Where there was a feeling of peace and harmony, now just feels like a heavy fog of uncertainty. Is there an issue of infidelity and trust has eroded. At one point you and your partner could communicate, but now you struggle to get your message across. Come in and let's talk.

It takes great courage to recognize when you need help and even more to ask for it. Even the strongest and most healthy need a trusted mentor, healer, and guide in their life at some point. Do you find yourself asking questions about sex, sexual health, sexual relationships, or intimacy within your relationship? Do you feel you have a place to ask and explore sexual topics and understand your sexual body? Understanding this part of yourself is an important part of your ability to relate and interact with yourself AND to connect, relate, and interact with others throughout your life. Here is a space for you.

I believe change is possible for all individuals willing to seek out support and lean into discomfort. You can do hard things and together we'll come up with a plan to live a more fulfilling life.

I'm here to assist you in getting unstuck whether it be from dysfunctional relationships, depression, communication issues, or life transitions by exploring our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My name is Anthonie Etienne, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) , a Pastoral Counselor, and an Ordained Minister. I truly have joy serving those who are in need of realignment in their daily lives.

Working on our relationship, which will be built on being heard and developing solutions together, creates empowerment to conquer all.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or feel a burden you can't quite relieve. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes our healing. The development of a therapeutic relationship and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

As an experienced and culturally-aware board-certified marriage and family therapist, I am here to guide you through your unique life challenges. My goal is to help you identify how therapy can best support your individual needs, empowering you to overcome the obstacles that may be holding you back from living a more fulfilling and happier life. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your story, and my role as your therapist is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and emotions.

Our ideal client is someone who is looking to grow or heal from their emotional pain. We help countless people live their best lives by accepting who they are and help in overcoming life's challenges. Our clients come from a diverse background, so we are proud to provide therapy in English, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese!
