My name is Artin Baghramian and I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Atwater Village.
My training has taken me across a wide range of settings; a college campus, a community mental health clinic, an older adult clinic, and a forensic environment. I have also completed advanced postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Working across these contexts has shaped my ability to sit with people from all walks of life, whatever they are carrying.
Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.
My name is Kate Vasquez, and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. I work with adults and older adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, post‐traumatic stress, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed psychologist with over three years of experience providing psychological services across a variety of settings, including outpatient care, correctional institutions, inpatient treatment, and first responder programs. My diverse clinical background has allowed me to work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges and life circumstances.
I earned both my Master's and Doctoral degrees in Psychology from Loma Linda University. During my doctoral internship, I trained in a Level IV state prison, where I provided treatment to individuals with serious mental illness and worked extensively with concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidality, adjustment difficulties, and emotional distress.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I utilize evidence-based approaches to help individuals develop insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being.
Hello, my name is Tyra Hughes and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I live and work in the Bay Area of California. A large part of my professional experience has been working with individuals and families who are struggling with relationship issues, parenting challenges, trauma, the justice system and intimate partner violence.
We all carry emotional burdens—some deep and lasting—that shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Sometimes our pain feels unseen, our emotions misunderstood, or our hearts weary from carrying more than we were meant to bear. I believe healing begins with the courage to look within, understand our experiences, and, when desired, invite God into the healing process.
I am Dr. Sandry Z. Esquivel, Psy.D., LMFT, a bilingual, bicultural therapist and Mexican immigrant. My personal and professional experiences have deepened my appreciation for the ways culture, family, faith, identity, relationships, and life experiences shape our emotional well-being. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel welcomed, respected, understood, and free to be authentic.
Hi, I'm Tony and my therapy practice is a space of hope, clarity, and limitless compassion. I'm an LMFT with 2 years of experience in private practice, 7 years as a psychotherapist, 11 years providing group support, 15 years as a case manager, and 20 years as a sociologist and community activist. I combine a wide range of impactful psychosocial and somatic approaches to support your freedom, safety, and boundless growth... with ACT, EFT, and Somatic Abolition as my grounding.
Most importantly, my work honors the weight you’ve had to hold during these painful times, and the care you’ve given while also sometimes struggling. Maybe it's been harder to cope lately and you're feeling lost. Maybe you're overburdened, or even totally depleted. Together, we can journey to a new place of relief, discovery, and steadiness. My work is about reconnection, growth, and finally feeling truly supported. You've deserved real care all along. I know it.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I provide therapy in a supportive, down to earth, and collaborative way. I earned my degree from the University of Southern California, and I currently work in a Federally Qualified Health Center, where I support individuals and families who may be facing barriers to accessing care. I also served in the United States Air Force, which has shaped my perspective, and understanding of resilience and life transitions.
I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for 12 years and have had extensive training to help people heal from life stressors past and present. I provide a warm empathetic style, that will allow you to dig into areas that might currently create functional impairments.
I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and create more fulfilling lives. Along the way, I offer both support and thoughtful challenge to help clients move beyond patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
