Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi and welcome! My name is Dr. Andrea Che and I am a licensed psychologist in California. I am only offering virtual sessions currently.

I specialize in working with teens and adults (16 & up). I see clients who come from/identify with diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual identities, and gender identities. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, work/school stress, cultural diversity issues, intergenerational trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions (environmental, chronic illness, relationship, etc.) to name a few.

While I am passionate about working with clients on a wide range of concerns, I especially enjoy helping clients overcome social anxiety so they can manage social fears, have meaningful connections and feel more confident.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in behavioral and mental health, including 2.5 years providing clinical therapy. I’ve worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, communication difficulties, social skills, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I have a particular interest in working with men and creating a space where they can talk openly about emotions, relationships, stress, identity, confidence, and the pressures that can come with trying to handle everything on their own. At the same time, I enjoy working with anyone who connects with my approach and is looking for a therapist who is supportive, honest, and practical.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy, and you won’t be judged for where you are. Whether you’re dealing with a specific problem or simply have a sense that something needs to change, I’ll meet you where you are. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, identify what may be holding you back, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change in your life and relationships.

Scott Lassiter

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.

Dr. Janine Franklin

Therapist

Virtual • California


My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Book knowledge is helpful, but life experience is invaluable. I spent over 30 years in sales and management in the airline industry before becoming a therapist and this real-world experience helps me to better understand the challenges people face. Since embarking on my career as a therapist, I have completed over 12,000 therapy sessions, working with individuals and couples from various cultures and unique challenges. I have been blessed to be in an endeavor that I don't consider to be work.
