Dr. Antoinette Neal

Dr. Antoinette Neal

Therapist

Virtual • California


Healing is everyone's inherent right, just as healing involves therapeutic care that is free of judgment and work that is done collaboratively, in a compassionate manner, and in a manner that is tailored to your specific needs. Hi, I am Dr. Neal, and I am committed to providing you with this type of therapeutic care.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. I am in the licensure process to become a Clinical Psychologist. In addition, I hold an MS degree in Clinical Psychopharmacology and am a JD Cand. (I have completed 1L of law school.)

My work as a humanitarian at a young age shaped my footsteps towards becoming a mental health provider. I have worked with a multitude of individuals from different ethnic, religious, gender, and educational backgrounds. My work over the years has been with individuals who are suffering from Chronic illness, Mood disturbance, trauma, grief, and even experiencing a life transition. I have worked in Residential treatment facilities, Intensive outpatient and Inpatient facilities, a trauma-only women's facility, and worked with the chronically ill population (Sickle Cell Anemia, Lupus, Cancer, Fibromyalgia, to mention a few). When working with a client, I do not see a diagnosis as that client's identity; I see just an individual who is struggling with symptoms associated with a mental health diagnosis. I often convey to my clients that "Your challenges and struggles do not define you; it is how you go about addressing them that does." I am invested in healing and self-care, not as a cliche but as a way of living a life that is emotionally regulated and self-loving.

Caitlin Crandall

Caitlin Crandall

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe deeply in the possibility of growth and change. My decision to become a therapist was inspired by a steadfast belief in transformation — in the human capacity to move forward, even after hardship. Having navigated my own journey of growth, I understand the courage it takes to be vulnerable in therapy. I hold the therapeutic relationship as sacred and approach it with care, respect, and integrity.

Clients can expect a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental space where they are seen and heard without assumptions. I strive to cultivate an environment of authenticity and self-awareness, where trust is built through consistency, empathy, and genuine presence. I want to understand each client’s firsthand experiences and meet them exactly where they are.

Helen Lozano

Helen Lozano

Therapist

Virtual • California


I earned my Master of Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My professional journey began in social services and the Department of Mental Health, and I later worked with community mental health agencies supporting people from many different backgrounds. These experiences strengthened my commitment to helping individuals feel supported and understood while navigating life’s challenges.

I have provided therapy to clients of all ages, both individually and within families, and I now focus primarily on adults who want to create meaningful change in their lives. In addition, I bring experience working with individuals with autism and ADHD diagnoses, offering strategies that highlight their strengths, improve daily functioning, and foster growth.

My approach is centered on guiding clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and overwhelming stress, with the goal of building greater stability, confidence, and connection. I believe therapy should be a safe, collaborative space where progress feels achievable and each step brings clients closer to the life they want to live.

Bridgit Serrano

Bridgit Serrano

Therapist

Virtual • California


Finding the right therapist is difficult. Especially when trauma and previous pain tells you you are alone, you are judged, and you are always unsafe. Though fear would like you to believe you are better off doing this on your own, you know it’s not true. To heal, we must feel seen and understood, with support and guidance. This is truly my passion and I love connecting with my clients and helping them meet their specific goals.

I have over ten years of working in mental health settings, including in leadership. I am confident and unafraid in walking through pain and unique “problems” with my clients. I have helped many find relief from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depressive symptoms, PTSD, relationship problems, and destructive ways of coping such as substance use. I am also certified in EMDR therapy and perinatal (pregnant and postpartum) mental health.

I’m Kali, an LMFT who wants to help you realize your goals. I want to help you have the relationships you want with yourself and with others.I have an MA in Applied Behavioral Science, with a concentration in Systems Counseling. What this means for you, practically speaking, is that as I work with you, I am also thinking about all of the other people, family and friends, co-workers and acquaintances, who are a part of and influential in your life, and you in theirs. I’m also thinking about the relationship you have with yourself, and how all of the parts of you, past, present and future interplay with each other and the world around you. Which is a long-winded way of saying I want to help you have the relationship you want with yourself and with others. I want you to find happiness, joy and health.
