Hi, I’m Alejandra. My clinical experience consists of working with teens and adults in navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational issues. I have been a practicing therapist since 2022.

Specializing in perinatal and infant mental health, I focus on assisting black women through the transformative phases of pregnancy and postpartum, helping navigate emotions and set healthy boundaries to support goals. My broad experience covers perinatal/postpartum issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting, and childhood trauma. My commitment is to collaboratively guide you towards discovering joy in your pregnancy and postpartum journey, even amidst challenges.

I work with individuals who grew up with a pervasive sense that they were “outside the box.” Sometimes that comes from being neurodivergent, navigating gender or sexuality, growing up in strict or religious environments, being home-schooled or always feeling different from the people around you. Many of my clients arrive with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, identity questions, or long-held patterns of masking to get through work, school, or life. It’s common for them to feel numb, lonely, misunderstood, or unsure about who they are and where they belong. If that resonates — you’re in the right place.

I support neurodivergent adults, ADHD/Autism, LGBTQIA+ and questioning folks, individuals exploring gender identity or transition, people processing religious trauma, chronic health struggles, grief, loss, and PTSD. I also love helping creatives, deep thinkers, and people who feel like they’ve spent years trying to “fit” rather than exist authentically.

I'm glad you're here. I provide an environment where you can share your experiences and current stressors while shedding what no longer serves you to become your best self. I work with individuals impacted by trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I entered this field because I believe everyone deserves support in creating meaningful change. Helping people develop skills to navigate life's challenges and build stronger relationships has been deeply rewarding work.

I'm a Licensed Therapist and a Licensed Advanced Addiction Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the field. I completed my studies in Addiction Treatment in 2014, followed by graduate studies in psychotherapy. My experience includes working with individuals and families to overcome mental health struggles, addictions, trauma-related disorders, and relational issues. My education and professional expertise rests on a backbone of a personal journey of healing. I deeply understand the challenges on the road to recovery and can help you navigate them. I approach therapy from a holistic model, with an emphasis on all aspects of your wellbeing. My practice is grounded in evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions, with an emphasis on somatic work. Together, we'll explore the root causes of your difficulties and develop personalized strategies for lasting change.

Do you feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and procrastination in your relationships, parenting, or work? Many adults I work with—queer and straight—lose track of time, underestimate tasks, and struggle to quiet their minds. This can lead to emotional reactivity with loved ones and lingering guilt or self-doubt without knowing why. These patterns are often linked to ADHD. I’m James Sharkey, LMFT in California. I believe ADHD isn’t a personal failure, but a gap in understanding how your brain works. Together, we build tools for focus, emotional regulation, and a more balanced, meaningful life.

Welcome—glad you made it here!

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in crisis mental health and private practice. I help adults and adolescents work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges. I understand the impact of high-stress roles where you’re expected to stay in control, even when things build up over time. My style is direct, grounded, and focused on what actually works in real life. I provide a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and be challenged in a way that leads to real change.

Venice Honick believes healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you already are and aligning your life with what truly matters.

Hey hey hey, I’m Ariel Wilson Gbenedio, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, transformational speaker, and author dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and step into their power.

I have nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, working across a wide range of settings including crisis residential treatment, outpatient care, and program development. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care—blended with a deeply human, compassionate approach.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and have served in both clinical and leadership roles, including Clinical Director. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and safe enough to do the real work of healing.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, and honest. I believe healing isn’t about “fixing” you—because you are not broken. It’s about understanding your story, shifting limiting beliefs, and helping you build a life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and authentic. I specialize in working with high-achieving women, individuals struggling with self-worth, trauma recovery, and those feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve them.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for something more in your life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you develop the insight, tools, and confidence to create lasting change—and to remind you of the strength that already exists within you.
