Marcella Salzle

Marcella Salzle

Therapist

Virtual • California


I specialize in helping clients to truly get to know themselves and the thoughts in their head (whether conscious or subconscious) to break patterns, decrease people-pleasing, increase self-esteem, relieve stress and anxiety, address interpersonal issues, and increase their life satisfaction. Sometimes in life, we might feel stuck in a rut. My role is to help you work yourself out of that rut. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to modify your thoughts and in turn your behavior. I also use interpersonal therapy to increase effectiveness within your relationships. Solution focused therapy helps me, to help you, find the answers or resources that are already within you.

I have a License in Clinical Social Work and have a background working in both child welfare and community mental health. I've worked with countless families, parents, children, and adolescent. I see my client's as part of a system; recognizing that our environment influences our development in childhood and throughout adulthood. I believe that with insight and cognitive reframing, we can take control of our lives.

Dr. Afarin Rajaei

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Dr. Afarin Rajaei (she/her), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose. In my 10 years in therapy, my approach has evolved to be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from narrative therapy, systemic thinking, and the Gottman Method.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, or life transitions, I provide a space where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, address barriers, and co-create strategies for growth and healing. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens and bring deep experience in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including immigrants and those navigating intergenerational dynamics.

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them reconnect with their voice, values, and vision for life. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances insight with actionable change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Pamela Yunga

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Torrance, CA


You deserve care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply personalized.

My approach is collaborative and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life - including stressors, relationships, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, diagnostic clarity, or a more integrative approach to healing, we will create a plan tailored specifically to you.

Clients often describe my style as compassionate, thorough, and grounded. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and ensuring you feel informed and empowered about your treatment options. My goal is not simply symptom reduction - it is helping you restore balance, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will build a path toward emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall wellness.
