Angela Arellano

Angela Arellano

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the Bay Area, and I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and not judged. I bring a warm, grounded presence to therapy and aim to create a relationship where you don’t have to “perform” or have it all figured out.

I’m someone who values creativity and expressive arts, and I often weave gentle, creative approaches into sessions when helpful. My work is trauma-informed and collaborative, meaning we move at your pace and center what feels most supportive for you.

In my clinical work, I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and elements of ACT. I have a special interest in trauma healing, nervous system regulation, attachment patterns, anxiety, and supporting clients who feel stuck in old patterns but are ready for change.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration. Whether you’re coming in with something specific or just a sense that “something isn’t working anymore,” we can explore that together with curiosity and care.

Lauren Horvath

Lauren Horvath

Therapist

Virtual • California


Isolation can slowly wear us down and make hope feel far away—but you don’t have to go through that alone. I believe we heal in connection, and it’s truly an honor to offer that kind of support. When emotions feel overwhelming or relationships become strained, you deserve a space where you’re not facing it all by yourself. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and long-standing patterns, with a deep belief that healing, growth, and meaningful change are always possible.

I’ve always felt drawn to understanding emotional well-being and the powerful role human connection plays in nurturing it. I feel genuinely grateful to do work that centers on connection and healing—it truly feels like a gift. Through compassion and curiosity, I aim to create a space where clients can reconnect with themselves and begin to see the strengths that may feel out of reach. With over 15 years of experience, I offer thoughtful, individualized care using approaches like EMDR, DBT, ACT, and CBT to support each person’s unique path toward well-being.

Fanta Ritchie

Fanta Ritchie

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.

I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.

My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.

More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.
