Family therapy and counseling in California

I’m Rachel Benjamin, and I help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges to build more authentic, connected, and empowered lives. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and barriers that have been holding you back and work toward lasting change around your strengths and values. If you are thinking about starting therapy, or returning after some time away, but feeling unsure, you’re not alone. Taking that first step can bring up a mix of emotions. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time, it likely means you’re ready to begin exploring meaningful change.

My name is Christina Van Winkle, LMFT and I have been providing therapeutic support to others for 8 years. Populations I have worked with includes children, teens, young adults, families and couples. I work from a

variety of modalities based on your specific needs. I have experience supporting those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, family dynamic issues, stress, burn out, anger management, self-esteem/identity, sleep

challenges, skill building and goal setting.

Welcome. I’m Erika and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco. My deep interest in understanding others and my belief in the transformational power of therapy is what drew me into this work. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from The University of San Francisco and my passion for serving marginalized populations led me into community mental health. I worked in various positions as a substance use counselor, therapist, clinical supervisor, and clinical director. I also have experience within a private practice setting. In my free time, I enjoy fostering my relationships with family, friends, and community, working with my hands making stained glass and gardening, going outdoors—especially the ocean, and running.

Areas of focus and interest include women’s issues, self empowerment, positive manifestation, dream work and mind/body healing utilizing somatic guided imagery.

I’m Dr. Melissa Jones, a licensed psychologist providing teletherapy to clients throughout CA. Much of my training and experience has been working with adults (18+) who have struggled with mood-related symptoms or episodes, stress, hallucinations, and substance misuse/addiction.

Hi, I’m Abdel! With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate care for individuals managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. As a bilingual speaker in English and Arabic, I specialize in creating an inclusive environment where patients from all backgrounds feel truly heard and respected. My goal is to empower you through open communication and evidence-based treatment to help you achieve lasting wellness.

My experience is centered on collaborating with youth, adults, and families. During these developing years and shifting dynamics, additional care for our health is needed. I work with emotional regulation, relational rifts, enhancing communication, and acceptance of self.

With attachment focused therapy as my base, I utilize mindfulness and experiential approaches in our work together. Our conversations and therapeutic activities are guided by your experience and goals.

Welcome! I have been a clinician for 30 years and my clients have been my teachers! I believe my clients are already amazing even if they have lost their way. I help them navigate their way back to feeling whole, valuable, and empowered.
