Melissa Gutierrez

Melissa Gutierrez

Therapist

Virtual • California


Because of my past personal and professional experience, I typically work with people who are "finding themselves," which can occur at any age, especially after a big change or loss or life event. I specialize in grief, bereavement, sexuality, and spirituality, and often my clients have some sort of religious background or are artists/makers/creatives. I work really well with sensitive men, strong women, and people who feel stuck or misunderstood.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, mood disorders, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected and supported without judgement. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.

Hitomi Fujikura

Hitomi Fujikura

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi!

My name is Hitomi Fujikura, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master's Degree in Social Work, working with clients in California via telehealth. I work with adults of all ages and specialize in working with people looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and ADHD through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

I work with adults on the individual and/or family level(s) and have found that fostering strong support, skill development, and practices of acceptance and self-compassion are effective regardless of background. My relationship with clients is collaborative and aims to address stress and anxiety, depression and feelings of hopelessness, and struggles in relationships, as well as trauma and OCD symptoms. I also enjoy working with clients who’d like to learn to work with their neurodivergent ADHD brains instead of against them. It’s important to me to work with people from diverse backgrounds, but I’m especially passionate about being a space for those from minority populations like people of color and queer people who may face adversity as a result of their identity.

Being a child of immigrants and a queer biracial Asian woman, I’ve been in a place where I needed support and a person to listen but didn’t think anyone would understand me or the complexities of my experiences. I pursued a career in the healing field because I hope to be someone who provides a sense of safety for people and helps instill hope when it feels difficult to access. I enjoy the process of seeing people learn, grow, and care for themselves in a greater capacity and I feel proud to be alongside them on their journey.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Danville, CA


You may look like you have everything together—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted. I work with adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and mood concerns. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals seeking more thoughtful, personalized care after feeling rushed or unheard in the past. I offer longer, collaborative visits focused on truly understanding you—not just managing symptoms. Treatment may include medication, along with lifestyle and therapy recommendations. If you’re looking for a more intentional, personalized approach, I’d love to connect.
