Meet Freddy, LCPC

I’m Freddy, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My career started at a community health center serving children, adults, and families across diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

In our sessions, I bring CBT, DBT, and a Person-Centered approach to a space that feels safe, honest, and free of judgment. Therapy changed my life, and that shapes how I show up for you.

Outside sessions, you’ll find me reading and staying curious about the mind-body connection.

Meet Jen, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Meet Arkay, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I’m Arkay, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a BSN from Angeles University Foundation in the Philippines and an MSN from Charles R. Drew University.

I work with patients of all ages and I’m passionate about making mental health care feel welcoming, stigma-free, and truly accessible to everyone.
