Kelda Hartman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I believe that no matter where you’ve been, what you’ve been through, or where you are currently, there is hope. I know that life can throw some crazy curve balls and I understand how painful and earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or you may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. Because I believe the future can look different than the present and the past. Things can change. So if you feel like giving up, please give me a call instead.
Like a tree, I believe that in order to change the fruit (what is currently going on in our life), we need to look at the root. You can pick every orange off an orange tree hoping it will grow apples, but unless you change the root, it will just keep growing oranges. I believe that if we can get to the “heart” (or root) of what is happening, you will see different fruit begin to develop. Because I believe that many of life’s struggles stem from wounds of the heart. I want to help wounded hearts heal. I enjoy working with people of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds. For those who are interested in Christian Counseling, I am also trained in integrating God into that healing process.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and kids navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and depth psychology, which delves into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. At its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.

Doug Wilson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Therapy offers the possibility of growth, greater self-awareness, and acceptance. Together we can work to deepen your self-understanding. This can support you in breaking free from repetitive patterns and self-limiting beliefs. Central to my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that healing is a process, not a destination.
Another advantage to our work together is enhanced emotional resilience. By addressing suppressed emotions and integrating different aspects of yourself, you may experience greater emotional balance and a stronger sense of identity. This integration can lead to improved relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being including less anxiety and depression.
I make no promises for a cure, recognizing the complexities of mental health and the varied factors that contribute to emotional distress. Instead, I emphasize the importance of personal growth, self-awareness, and resilience as essential components of optimal mental health.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
The concept of self-love is a mystery because you often default to a painful pattern of beating yourself up. Being productive is important to you but instead you feel overwhelmed and burnt out. You want to be in the flow with your partner but rather you are constantly at odds leaving you feeling lonely and isolated. Cultivating deeper relationships is a value to you but you feel disconnected, anxious and stressed. These and other of life’s great emotional impasses are what often lead people to therapy.
I believe the most valuable impact therapy can have on you is a deeper understanding of yourself and who you want to show up as in the world. Through consistent, gentle, and thoughtful investigation of oneself, there can be considerable growth. The deeper we are able to go together, the more attuned you will become with yourself and others.
I provide my clients with directive, empowering therapy aimed at challenging you to look at yourself in a more introspective and curious way. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling inspired and motivated to make meaningful change in their life. My main areas of focus include: entrepreneurs, entertainment industry professionals, gay men & couples.
