Rajdeep Samra

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy is successful when the client and therapist feel connected. I focus on building this therapeutic relationship by taking an approach that is supportive and client centered. I earned my BA in Psychology from UC Irvine and Master’s with Honors Distinction from Cal State Northridge. Additionally, I spent many years learning and practicing the teachings of ancient yoga for personal growth and to inform my practice. Over the last ten years, I have worked in various settings with clients of different age groups and backgrounds, helping them successfully navigate through their problems. I have extensive experience treating clients coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment and relationship issues; together we can make life better.

Ava Cázares

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi! I'm Ava, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem, depression, and trauma in women. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology & Education from UCLA and my Master's of Marriage & Family Therapy (clinical psychology) from USC.

Women who find me often describe feeling disconnected from themselves in ways that are hard to explain.

Most are in their 20s, many of whom are Latina, navigating identity shifts and redefining who they are after major life transitions. They may have ambition, potential, and clear goals, yet still feel held back by something invisible. That “something” often goes by many names: depression, low self-worth, insecure attachment, abandonment and rejection wounds, and unresolved relational trauma from childhood.
