Therapist

Virtual • California


Do you ever feel like you’re constantly questioning whether you’re “good enough,” even after working so hard to get where you are? Maybe you overthink every decision, and say yes when you want to say no. If you’re navigating imposter syndrome, people-pleasing patterns, or the pressure of balancing cultural expectations with your own identity, I hear you. As a second-generation AAPI woman, I understand the unique pressures that come with navigating cultural identities, family expectations, and the feeling of being “in between” worlds.

Erin Link

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I currently work remotely in California. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and I have been licensed in Marriage & Family Therapy since 2008. I spent the first half of my career in public service, specifically working in the nonprofit sector and on the county level in Los Angeles, Orange and Monterey Counties. I started my private practice in 2012, and since that time I've worked primarily with individual adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms, mood dysregulation (anxiety, depression), and relational challenges (codependence, narcissism, attachment issues, fractured family of origin).

Cristina Miramontes

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, I'm Cristina. I help people who struggle with high functioning anxiety, people-pleasing, and constant overthinking, even when they appear to have things together on the outside. I also work with those who find themselves questioning their relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or navigating major life transitions such as new relationships, marriage, or becoming a parent.

As a bilingual therapist, I work with teens, young adults, and adults who want to better understand the patterns shaping their anxiety, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we focus on building stronger self-awareness, clearer boundaries, and greater confidence in your decisions so you can move forward with more clarity and self-trust.

The journey to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line for me—I arrived here after walking many different paths in my life. For me, being a therapist isn’t about being an expert who sits above you. It’s about someone you can feel warm with, open with, and safe around.
