You might be here because you're navigating a major life transition — trying to get pregnant, adjusting to motherhood, or feeling burnt out from it all!
These seasons can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing, especially when you're used to being the one who has it all together.
I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and the unique stressors that come with new motherhood. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling with identity changes, experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, or feeling stuck during a life transition, therapy can help you regain clarity and confidence. As a new mom who also lives with anxiety- I get you and I see you! You are not alone and there is a way through!
My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what you're experiencing and reconnect with yourself. Together, we work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with the life you want to create.
My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.
Welcome to your search for a therapist. I know this process can be challenging and long, but you are worth the time, effort, and investment! My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to empower you to work through issues you are currently facing. I am a strong believer in that each person has the strength to find their own way to happiness and healing.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialty in maternal mental health — supporting people through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent. My background in home health, hospice, and hospital-based care has given me a deep appreciation for the whole person, not just the presenting concern. I see clients virtually in the evenings, so getting support that actually fits your life is something I take seriously.
Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed by circumstances that feel impossible? I help people get unstuck from what’s holding them back. My goal is for you to have more freedom and live an authentic, fulfilling life. We’ll work together to create a respectful and affirming environment for healing. As a queer therapist, I aim to provide inclusive care for folks from diverse backgrounds. I have supported people facing various challenges and am especially interested in working with survivors of trauma, grief, narcissistic abuse, LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, and those struggling with anxiety.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Northern California with a decade of experience working with clients and families from various backgrounds. I seek to empower clients while being grounded in the realistic restrictions that time, life circumstances, and competing demands can place on an individual. With your expertise in yourself, I would like to work together to create a shared understanding to determine the path forward that works best for you.
I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in treating panic attacks, severe depression, PTSD, and anger management. Most recently, I was the psychologist for the US Special Operations Command Korea, serving the SOF warfighters with their unique challenges. Prior to this, I had a private practice in Southern California. I have a BA in psychology from UCLA and a Psy.D. in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology.
I specialize in working with women going through life transitions, relationship issues, and navigating heightened anxiety. I am also a trauma-informed yoga teacher and former athlete which greatly informs my work with clients and helping them bridge the mind-body connection.
Many of the women I work with grew up with high expectations & low emotional support. They learned to prioritize loyalty, achievement, or caregiving over their own needs. Over time, this can create anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, and a deep sense of disconnection from the self. I specialize in working with women healing from abuse, emotionally unavailable parents & religious & intergenerational trauma. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, perfectionism, hyper-independence, difficulty setting boundaries, or feelings of responsibility. They often know "why they are the way they are" but still feel stuck.
I work with high-functioning adults who are navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and life transitions. You might be juggling a lot, appearing “fine” on the outside, but inside things feel heavier, disconnected, or uncertain.
My style is exploratory and grounded. I’ll follow your lead while helping you stay connected to what matters most to you. I use humor often because therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy, and I aim to create a space that feels warm, real, and supportive.

I help clients address personal issues in the context of their interpersonal relationships. I strive to support my clients in bringing to light their impact on others, and others’ impact on them while giving clients the skills to heal relational wounds and build healthier, meaningful connections.

Hello, I’m Cerise Dossman, LCSW.

Chenda Dyck is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She's in the final stretch of her PhD in Marital and Family Therapy, and she finished her master's at Fresno State back in 2016.
Chenda was born in Ratanakiri, in Cambodia's northern highlands. Families there hold together through a lot, and she watched how that works long before she had any language for it. She arrived in the U.S. in 2003, sponsored by an adoptive American family. What she learned in those years is the thing she still builds her practice on — that one safe relationship can redirect an entire life.
Her work centers on Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), grounded in systemic and attachment theory and carried by a social-justice lens. Diverse, multiracial, and immigrant families are where she does her best work — families managing cultural pressure and emotional strain at once. In session and in supervision, she holds to the same standards: respect for culture, honesty about feelings, and the relationship kept at the center.
