Video sessions with licensed California therapists, wherever you are in the state. We draw on EMDR, IFS, CBT, and other approaches depending on what you’re working through.
Your therapist draws on different approaches depending on what you’re dealing with and what you want from therapy. These three come up often, and each works well over video.
For trauma, PTSD, grief, and memories that still feel too close.
Your therapist guides eye movements or self-tapping on screen while you briefly hold a memory in mind. Many clients do this work over video with good results. Clients often notice the memory is still there, but it stops pulling them back in.
About EMDR therapyFor anxiety, self-criticism, people-pleasing, and patterns that keep repeating.
Internal Family Systems helps you get to know the protective parts of you that took on these jobs for good reasons. Sessions are quiet and conversational. Over time, the inner critic tends to soften and you have more say in how you respond.
What is IFS therapy?For anxiety, depression, and stress that’s running your days.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is practical and structured. You’ll look at the thoughts and habits keeping you stuck and practice specific tools between sessions. You keep using them after therapy ends.
Depending on what you need, we also bring in attachment-focused therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, somatic work, solution-focused therapy, and other approaches. We’ll talk through what fits in your consultation.
Anxiety that won’t switch off, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, or a life transition that knocked you off balance.
Individual therapyThe same argument on repeat, growing distance, or rebuilding trust after infidelity. Join from one screen together, or from two different places.
Couples therapyOngoing conflict, parenting strain, or a big change that’s rippling through everyone at home.

For most people, yes. The approaches we use, including EMDR, IFS, and CBT, are routinely delivered over video. Many clients find it easier to open up from their own space, and skipping the commute makes it simpler to keep going week after week.
Yes. Your therapist guides the bilateral part, such as following movement on screen or tapping your own shoulders, and stays with you through each step. Preparation and grounding come first, so you’re never asked to dive in before you feel steady.
A private space, a stable internet connection, and a computer or tablet. A larger screen works better than a phone, and headphones help.
Yes. Many couples join from one screen at home, and others log in separately from work or while one partner is traveling. Both of you need to be in California for the session.
In your free consultation we ask what’s bringing you in, who will be in sessions, and what you’ve tried before. Then we match you with the therapist whose training and focus fit best. If you already have someone in mind, tell us.
We’re a private-pay practice and don’t bill insurance directly. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, you may be able to get part of your fee reimbursed. Our rates and insurance page explains how that works.
