Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but we don't have to suffer needlessly. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can be a way out of these defensive patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

Follow Your Compass
Psychologist, PsyD
Jessica Silsby, PsyD opened FYC in 2016 as a gender affirming private practice focusing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Our comprehensive program treats adults and teens. We can also provide support for siblings, parents, partners, children, and other loved ones of individuals through either gender exploration or mental health crisis. Folx ages 8+ are welcome! A thread through all we do incorporates our awareness of the impacts of trauma, culture, and stigma from society. Whether this is in gender identity or expression, of mental illness, or of both. DBT is innately phenomenological (client-centered perspective) and it is our hope that you will find this influence across the type of care that you receive.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
I’m a therapist because I believe in the healing strength of being with: Being with our feelings, our present moment experience, and each other. So often, we walk through life feeling alone and disconnected. Therapy is a place for you to unfold and expand into a life that feels more authentic and spacious, a place for you to experience connection and transformation.
Clients who work with me often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and creative. In addition to what you might think of when hear the words “talk therapy,” I also incorporate art, movement, and mindfulness into our sessions. I view my clients and myself as co-collaborators in the therapy process, and work with you to create a space that feels supportive and safe. I take a non-pathologizing approach, honoring the strategies that got you to this moment, and supporting you as you unfold into your authentic self.

Hannah Schaler, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, CA LMFT#128698
It can feel impossible sometimes to let down your guard, feel into your heart, and discover your potential for change. I offer a creative healing space where you can explore the hard stuff and grow into the good stuff. My training and experience cover diverse healing practices, and my office in downtown Santa Monica includes an art studio space where you can explore and play. Whether you are arriving to therapy yourself, with a partner, with your family, or to join a group... with me you will find the necessary support to safely go inward. I love this work, and I will hold space for you to show up as you are.
I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth services. Schedule a free consultation today.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
When you share your difficulty with me, you feel relief – and I feel privileged. Tangible relief is where my work starts, with diminished shame, reduced anxiety, and you starting to feel unstuck. You find healing is truly in your own hands, and this brings confidence, fulfilment and loving yourself.
