Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide services in Spanish + English.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Mesoamerica-Indigienous ancestry. My life exposed to community violence, trauma and intersecting oppressions has led me to the work of healing, self-discovery, exploration and ancestral healing.
I was raised in the SF Bay Area and I currently reside on the stolen lands of the Tongva peoples, colonially known as Los Angeles, California.
My lived experiences of being a person of color with intersecting identities, navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. I grew up with many years of witnessing (through family members + my community) severe mental illness, addiction, community violence, chronic suicidality, incarceration and domestic violence. Through my own stories and experiences, as a justice-oriented therapist, I aim to disrupt and dismantle these oppressive systems within myself and in my practice to make therapy a safe(r) space for folks who are targeted and made marginalized.

David Andreone
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Therapy with me is interactive, direct, warm, & compassionate. I spent 20+ years as a creative and A&R exec in entertainment, & still work in music & TV. When life's inevitable transitions rear their head (adolescence, college, employment, marriage, divorce, aging, grief & loss), I help you more elegantly navigate these potentially challenging life moments.
I'm warm, casual and easy to talk to. I offer evidenced-based, results-oriented interventions tailored to your specific past and present life-experiences, as well as your strengths, talents and genetics. My writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Billboard Magazine, et al. Sessions in Culver City (a stones throw from Apple, Sony, Amazon), or Telehealth.

Thanks for taking time to find care for yourself. You deserve to have wellness and care and to have a therapist who wants to see you thrive.

I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed and to want someone to see and care for you in a way that feels genuine. I have been working in the helping profession for 20 years in various settings from private practice, non-profit, hospital, educational and street outreach settings.
