Hi, I'm Carla — a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (TX) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (CA) who genuinely loves helping people find their footing when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Whether you're going through a major life transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply carrying more than you can hold right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. I create a space that's warm, judgment-free, and entirely yours — where you can slow down, be honest, and start moving forward in a way that actually feels like you.

If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

Erika Michel

Erika Michel

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a first generation Latinx/e, bilingual, and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist creating space for clients to experience radical self-compassion and express themselves fully. I invite clients to discuss, in English, Spanish, or spanglish, how their worldview and relationships are influenced by their culture. I believe radical self-compassion involves affirming all types of identities. I value authenticity, knowing neither clients nor myself, need to be perfect.

I graduated with a master's degree from Chapman University in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2019. Since 2018, I have worked with clients in community mental health and private practice settings. Clients have been a part of the Latinx/e community, young adults in college, and young professionals.

I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing via telehealth across California. My work centers on three communities I care deeply about: veterans navigating the often-invisible work of coming home, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking for a therapist who genuinely gets it, and parents who are doing their best while carrying more than they show. I'm Transgender Allied, trained in trauma-informed and multicultural frameworks, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Before anything else, I work hard to make sure you feel like yourself in the session — not a diagnosis, not a file.

Debra Gionet

Therapist

Life and relationships can be complicated. Sometimes you need a space that is just for you—to talk, process, reflect, and figure out what comes next.

I’m a licensed therapist in California with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, communication struggles, and major life transitions.

Therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, discouraged, or simply unsure of what comes next. Sometimes you need a place outside your usual circle of friends and family where you can be completely honest, talk things through, and gain a fresh perspective without judgment.

Together, we can explore relationships, boundaries, communication, emotions, life experiences, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and feel more confident moving forward.

I also work with couples who want to improve communication, strengthen their connection, work through recurring disagreements, or navigate different parenting styles. The goal isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong—it’s about learning to listen, understand each other, and work together more effectively.

My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are and work alongside you as you navigate whatever life is bringing your way.

Sometimes you just need a place to talk. Sometimes you need a fresh perspective. Sometimes you’re ready for a change.

Whatever brings you through the door, we can start there!

Please note: My practice is not able to provide services for individuals with current or past self-harm, suicidal ideation, or suicide attempts.
