These sessions last from 50-60 minutes, typically once a week. Throughout our sessions we will collaboratively identify your goals and work towards resolving your difficulties. We explore your current and past relationships with the goal of helping you process past traumas, current fears, and equip you with the skills you need to lead a more meaningful, fulfilling life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/1652487404955-LE7IN4CJQMZI19SX0HND/unsplash-image-mRQk1B4OM0k.jpg Therapy Services - Couples Therapy Couple sessions are typically 60-90 minutes depending on need of client. These sessions may be weekly or bi-weekly. Our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a short-term form of therapy that focuses on adult relationships and attachment. The therapist and clients look at patterns in the relationship and take steps to create a more secure bond and develop more trust to move the relationship in a healthier, more positive direction. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/social-media-policy daily 0.75 2022-03-28 https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/instagram-landing-page daily 0.75 2022-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/1648507729756-DVFSS2KXWQX9LDVIKQVY/AdobeStock_176762343.jpeg Instagram Landing Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/info-1 daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/1648507739071-GUSRYDYWEDHU2EF3E756/kaboompics_Workspace+in+the+living+room+%283%29.jpg Info (Copy) - You’re in the right place When was the last time you invested in yourself?

Many people who have never participated in a therapy session wonder what it will be like. Will the therapist ask you a lot of questions about your feelings? Will they ask you to discuss your fears? Will you have to talk about your childhood? Your therapist will want to know why you’re seeking therapy. They may ask what kinds of needs or issues you’d like to address in your treatment together as well as what you’ve done to manage your mental health in the past. They’ll want to talk through what worked and what didn’t to get an understanding of how best to help you. Collaboratively, you will establish goals and what you would like to focus on in therapy. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/1648507726393-X23VC5NCULFA8S8Y6Y70/AdobeStock_201007099.jpg About (Copy) - MY FOCUS A therapist, a learner, a listener Aenean eu leo quam.

Sylvia Mejia, MA, LMFT Hi! I’m Sylvia! I’m a Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who was born and raised in Los Angeles, Ca. I pursued my undergraduate education in Childhood Development and Psychology. I obtained my MA in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Marriage & Family Therapy. Throughout my journey on becoming a licensed therapist I worked in several environments as an ABA therapist, high school counselor and community mental health clinician. Through this, I developed a sense of fascination for understanding people’s diverse backgrounds, which helps me work effectively with people from different ethnic and cultural communities, ages, and difficulties. My free time is spent as a mother (to a baby boy and 3 fur children), wife and coffee shop owner. I’m looking forward to guiding you on your path of healing and growth. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/ivan-herrera daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/d46b0311-76a4-4afe-b90f-db4c689a1a31/thumbnail_Ivan+Photo.jpg Ivan Herrera, MSW, LCSW - Welcome!

Erica Lee, PsyD, LMFT Hi. I am an experienced marriage and family therapist and clinical psychologist, with a doctorate from Azusa Pacific University. I am ready to help you overcome internal and interpersonal challenges and live life the way you want to live it. My background has included work in community mental health, school districts, and private practice settings. I am experienced with children, teens, adults, and families and have treated a multitude of issues. I can help with social or communication problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment challenges or life stressors. My approach to therapy is conversational, warm, and empathic. I incorporate evidenced-based treatments (ACT, CBT, DBT) in an integrative way that considers your unique individual needs. I believe that all people are continuously learning and growing socially and emotionally, and relationships are the basis for this growth. Given an environment where a person feels understood and accepted, I believe there is no limit to their potential for healing and growth. I will work with you to create a safe and comfortable space where you can feel heard and understood. With this foundation of understanding and acceptance in place, I will help you open the door to new perspectives, interactions, and options for engaging with the world. In addition to the joy I find in helping clients navigate better lives, I also find joy in my hobbies and interests and my personal relationships.

Amy Carlson, MA, AMFT Hi! My name is Amy and I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist registered in California. After a career in the corporate world, I decided to blow caution to the wind and go after something I was truly passionate about, the human experience. I attended Antioch University and received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family. I am dedicated to creating a genuine connection with my clients; everyone deserves to be affirmed and respected in a safe environment free from judgement. With a world full of distraction, let’s take some time to focus on you and your needs. I look forward to learning, growing and collaborating with my clients. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/jaimie-velasquez daily 0.75 2024-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/5ffb2b0d-553b-4493-b692-71c6c805d49a/IMG_0305+%281%29.jpg Jaimie Velasquez, MA, AMFT - Welcome! Jaimie Velasquez, MA, AMFT I’m Jaimie, a second-generation Filipina-American with a MA in Clinical Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology and a BA in Psychology from Loyola Marymount University. I love working with adults and teens facing life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, emotional outburst and struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and perfectionism My training at Violence Intervention Program in East Los Angeles challenged me to build awareness and curiosity around the uncomfortable parts of life as I supported individuals that experienced various types of violence, including family, interpersonal, and societal trauma. I view therapy as an opportunity to create a new blueprint on how you want to live your most meaningful life. We do this through the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and creative expression. Through my training in EMDR and DBT, I have learned to be grateful for emotions and to move towards the uncomfortable. I believe building awareness and being curious around the uncomfortable parts of your life may provide an emotional understanding that could help you feel reconnected to yourself. Through compassion and humor, I aspire to create a holding space without assumption and judgements, instead filled with exploration, openness, and creativity. Therapy can be an engaging and expansive experience; by digging deeper and not only asking why but also how and what questions, I hope that my clients will be able to look in their rear view mirror and make sense of their lives so that they can feel present and deserving with the world around them. This matters because normalizing the uncomfortable and validating both positive and negative emotions decreases the cycle of avoidance and unhelpful distractions. A session with me could be described as empowering, authentic, and out of the box due to my use of creative techniques that help my clients discover themselves through their discomfort. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/amanda-frausto daily 0.75 2025-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/63f9dd23-48ee-4083-a837-dfe406e2c45a/Amanda+photo.png Amanda Frausto, MS, AMFT - Welcome!

Juliette M. Lopez, MA, AMFT Hi, my name is Juliette, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Since every person has a unique background, therapy will look different for everyone. Having been on the other side of the couch myself, I understand how off-putting and dismissive an overly clinical approach can feel. I use my own experiences with not-so-great therapy to inform how I show up as a therapist—bringing authenticity, humor, and transparency into the room to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Therapy works best when we feel seen, understood, and safe enough to show up as we are. A little of my background: I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Cal State Fullerton, aspiring to be a Physical Therapist, but life—and my own mental health journey—took me in a different direction. I went on to earn my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My clinical experience includes residential treatment, community mental health, and private practice settings, where I have worked with a diverse range of clients. Currently, I focus on helping adults navigate challenges such as depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. I’m especially passionate about providing support to queer folks. As an LGBTQ+ identifying provider, I understand firsthand how factors like traumatic experiences, culture, and religious trauma can affect mental health. I foster a safe, non-judgmental, and accepting space for individuals, couples, and dyads of all diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions. I believe the past can hold answers to why the present can be so painful. I work from a relational stance; meaning I aim to create a healing, corrective experience through a supportive therapeutic relationship. I can be someone to sit with, help you see things through a new perspective, or hold all of your stuff with care, as you give yourself permission to-- fall apart, start over, or rebuild. You and I can work together to figure out how to put the pieces back in a way that feels best for you with the glue of non-judgement, empathy, and understanding. Good therapy feels like a conversation. So, let’s start there. My name is Juliette, what’s yours? https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/delmy-facio daily 0.75 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/430b6d5b-b00c-4bff-a0a4-1cab58a03852/Delmy+Pic.jpg Delmy Facio, MA, AMFT, APCC - Welcome! Delmy Facio, MA, AMFT, APCC Hi! My name is Delmy. I am an Associate Marriage Family Therapist and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I have an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts from East Los Angeles Community College, a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Cal State University of Los Angeles, and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling from National University, San Diego. Over the last several years, I have had a variety of experiences in community and behavioral mental health, working with clients at different levels of care. I believe in the power of therapy by providing a safe space where my clients can explore their true selves and develop a deeper understanding of who they are. I am passionate about helping others face and navigate through life’s challenges that come our way, such as relational issues, life transitions, body image, anxiety, depression, mood disturbance, partner relational problems, personality disorders, grief and loss, and trauma. I am dedicated to offering individualized, quality care to each client, recognizing that everyone has a unique background and journey to what got us here. My approach is known to be a warm, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic environment. I utilize a series of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Didactic Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Trauma Informed, and Strength-Based Mindfulness. I value meeting clients where they are on their journey while gently pushing them, when needed, to foster their growth. My goal is to provide you with that safe space where you feel seen, heard, understood, and supported as you embark on your healing journey. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/kathy-young daily 0.75 2025-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/f2f13e6c-275b-4fc5-861e-b3b61c1f7e30/IMG_8102.jpg Katherine Young, MA, AMFT - Welcome! Katherine Young, MA, AMFT My name is Kathy and I’m an associate marriage and family therapist. While I have always been intrigued by relationships, psychology, and helping people, this is a second career for me and proof that it is never too late to become the person you want to be. The journey of building a family has given me an interest in racial trauma, infertility issues, maternal mental health, and special needs parenting. My cat has made me a believer in the power of pet therapy. Other areas I am passionate about working with are developmental trauma and spiritual abuse. I love working with young adults, couples and anyone who is ready to turn a new leaf in their life and make sense of their story. Are you struggling to engage in meaningful relationships? Do you find yourself overthinking comments and situations? If you feel you are on a hamster wheel trying to effectively communicate your true wants and needs with those you are closest to, you are not alone. What would your life look like if you could express yourself fully and not get stuck living for everyone but yourself? How would your experience be different if you didn’t feel like you had to hide your true self? I specialize in attachment theory and client-centered therapy, and have experience leading clients from the trauma in their past that holds them back from finding fulfilling relationships today. I am also trained in EMDR therapy which is an evidenced-based method for facilitating the processing of traumatic memories. If you feel like you are ready to make a change, reach out and schedule a free, 15-miunute consultation call with me. Whether you come with your family, partner or just yourself, change is within your reach! https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/jacqueline-garcia daily 0.75 2025-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/9c8c2317-ef3b-4058-bca6-37e232f1f392/Honest+Logo.jpg Jacqueline Garcia, MS, AMFT - Welcome! Jacqueline Garcia, MS, AMFT Hi I’m Jacqueline Garcia, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I received both my B.A. in Psychology with a Minor in Family Studies and my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University Northridge. I believe that everyone is the author of their own story and that everyone's individual differences make up one's unique experiences. I like to work collaboratively and transparently as this helps create authentic and genuine relationships in the therapy room. I hope that through our work together I can create a space that feels safe, makes you feel seen, heard and a place where you can be your genuine self. I work from a strength based approach where I utilize compassion and meeting my clients where they are at as the starting point of one's healing journey. I believe that everyone can get through the fog but sometimes it takes a little light to help you make your way through. Therapy is not a one size fits all and because of this I utilize a wide range of therapeutic aspects from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy and more. Because everyone who walks into the therapy room is unique and comes in with their own experiences, being able to use a wide range of therapeutic tools supports the ability to tailor each individual's treatment plan and personalize their therapeutic journey. I have a passion for working with children, teens, adults, and couples and with each client I provide trauma informed care that is cultural, neurodivergent and identity-affirming. Whether it's life transitions, anxiety, depressions, maternal mental health, parenting etc. My door is open to those who want to begin writing the next chapter of their story. Sometimes it's hard to see that you already have the power within you and it's there, all I have to do is hold the mirror. https://www.honestinsightcounseling.com/mariam-evans daily 0.75 2025-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62423b468be618534313cb39/815314a2-fcb7-407e-9750-a8c666ee92c8/Mariam+photo.jpg Mariam Evans, MSW, ASW - Welcome!
