Therapist

Virtual • California


I’ve worked as a therapist for the past ten years, helping people untangle their stories and find compassion for the messy, imperfect parts of being human. My own experiences as a client deeply shaped my approach. I bring empathy, warmth, and a genuine understanding of how vulnerable therapy can feel. I work with clients of all ages, from tweens to adults, to build insight, resilience, and self-acceptance. My style is collaborative and grounded in authenticity, humor, and humanity. Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to explore what healing might look like for you.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.

Therapist

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.

As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.

Dr. Carl Modeste

Psychologist

Virtual • California


There are things you have learned to work around instead of talk about, and after a while that starts to feel normal. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors across California, and often with whole families who are trying to get through something together. A lot of my work is with people carrying trauma they have never fully unpacked, parents navigating the emotional weight of pregnancy and new parenthood, and people trying to change a pattern of substance use that has already cost them more than they meant to lose. My goal is to meet you where you are, not where a treatment plan says you should be.

Therapist

I bring over 11 years of behavioral health leadership experience, including senior clinical executive roles overseeing adolescent and family treatment programs, alongside my work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I’m dually licensed in California and North Carolina, a BBS-Approved Clinical Supervisor, and an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I help train the next generation of clinicians.

My clinical approach is grounded in Family Consciousness, a framework I developed through my doctoral research to help individuals and families deepen closeness, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity. I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, relationship strain, identity development, and the search for greater self-understanding and connection.

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative, honest, and deeply human process. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you with clinical expertise and genuine care.
