Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma, eating disorders, and the mind-body connection. I use EMDR and IFS-informed care to support deep healing and recovery. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected from their bodies, or caught in patterns they don’t fully understand. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s underneath, and work toward lasting, meaningful change.

Deanna Hudgins

Therapist

Virtual • Glendora, CA


Like many, I chose to shift careers later in life - call it a "third act" - to a professional path in mental health. As a result, I've found that my previous careers in both the arts and physical fitness have cultivated my personal approach to therapy - one that emphasizes collaboration, self-empowerment, and unconditional regard for each client's unique perspective and concerns.

Heidi Dryer

Heidi Dryer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

22600 Savi Ranch Parkway, Yorba Linda, CA

My name is Heidi Dryer and I obtained my license as a Marriage and Family Therapist in 2015 but I started practicing in 2012 under supervision. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and I am also certified in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health. I specialize in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Healing from complex trauma requires looking at your whole self, not just your symptoms. Complex trauma leaves a lasting blueprint on your mind, body, and nervous system, which is why traditional talk therapy alone often feels like it isn't enough. An integrative health approach addresses this by combining gentle psychological healing with body-based therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle support to help you feel safe in your own skin again.

Jonathan Vela

Jonathan Vela

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

6815 Willoughby Avenue, Los Angeles, CA

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but I also lean into a humanistic style, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Whether we’re exploring your relationships, working through anxiety or depression, or identifying what really matters to you, my goal is to support your growth with curiosity, care, and clarity.

I also value realness, I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, offer insight when you're stuck, and celebrate the progress you might overlook. You're the expert on your life; I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth and build the kind of change that lasts.
