Someone once said to me, “It takes a strong person to reach out for counseling” and I have to agree. After supporting individuals and families for the past decade I see it’s not always easy to pick up the phone and ask for help. Counseling has been shown to improve relationships and strengthen one’s identity. I build a safe therapeutic relationship with each client where painful and shameful issues can be processed and emotional hurts can be resolved. The therapeutic relationship is of great im...

Many of the students I work with share similar experiences — they’re often bright, caring, and hardworking, but feeling anxious or overwhelmed. They might put a lot of pressure on themselves to do well in school, compare themselves to others, or have trouble shutting off their thoughts at night. Some struggle with focus or motivation and feel frustrated that they can’t seem to get organized, even though they want to.

Irene Van
Marriage & Family Therapist
Santa Clara, CA
Accepting new clients

At times, the weight of the world can be overwhelming. We may grow up believing that we are not enough and that we have to be perfect. We may have inherited messages from our family or from society that puts us down, especially if we come from a marginalized identity. This can make us feel hopeless or ungrounded and we may act out in ways that we aren't proud of. Other times, we try to fit into a mold that was never suited for us. In therapy, my hope is to help you examine those messages and ...

Maria Zabeti
Marriage & Family Therapist
Chino, CA
Accepting new clients

You’ve always been the one others lean on, and the go-to problem solver. Your known to be the steady hand in chaos, but no one sees what it costs you. But lately, it’s been harder to hide how much it’s costing you. You come home drained, carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs. Even when your body screams for rest, you keep going because slowing down feels dangerous. You’ve trained yourself to stay calm, to keep it all together… even when you’re unraveling inside. Maybe you lie awake at...

I have made it my life's mission to learn what it means to live well, passionately and intentionally, so I may live the best life I am capable of living.

I deeply believe I can only lead people in their growth process as far as I’ve been willing to go myself. The “success” I feel as a psychologist is direct...
