Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, or not like yourself? Whether you are dealing with academic stressors, social stressors, depression or anxiety you are not alone and my goal is to create a safe and healing space for you. I am here to help you feel empowered and build resiliency. My style is person centered and strengths based, meaning that each person possesses strengths and can build new skills that we will fine tune and use to work towards your goals. I provide trauma informed care and use different approaches including mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and trauma. I have been in practice since 2015 working with adults in individual and group therapy. All are welcome in this space. I attend trainings and consistently work on competency in several areas including racial justice and LGBT topics. Compassion and empathy for ourselves and others are major values.

Life can feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming, especially when you are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, or big life changes. I offer a supportive space to slow down, talk things through, and start feeling more steady again. Care is personalized, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your experience. My work centers on psychiatric care that combines conversation, practical therapy tools, and medication management, so our visits support both how you’re feeling and how you function in everyday life. My practice focuses on psychiatric care that includes both medication management and therapy-informed support, so our work together always addresses treatment and conversation in the same space. For psychotherapy, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment challenges, and major life transitions, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to build practical skills, clarity, and confidence. For medication management, I treat a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, mood changes, trauma, OCD, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, and many other concerns. My approach combines traditional psychiatric treatments with holistic practices such as mindfulness and emotional well-being techniques, fostering balance and resilience while treating the whole person. You don’t have to have everything figured out to get started. This is simply a place to feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward feeling more like yourself again.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and an expert in the social-emotional aspects of child development with over 15 years of invaluable clinical experience. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples and families providing counseling for a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, and trauma issues. In my clinical work, I focus on the development of coping skills, emotional regulation skills, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral strategies. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among my clients, and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. I offer validation and emotional support for clients who feel stigmatized by mental health challenges of all kinds, and assist in improving effective communication skills. Together, we create personal goals to work toward in order to relieve stress and enhance overall emotional well being.
Do you feel like you want to realize your true potential, but nothing you do is working? It must be so frustrating to know you can do more but not be able to get there. Creating a meaningful life is challenging, and we can often feel like we are failing, losing our sense self, struggling in relationships, or feeling anxious and empty. Not knowing the solution can be really scary, but we can work together to find the light in your darkness. I offer a culturally relevant approach to navigate these concerns. My passion has been to work with individuals and couples to become improved versions of themselves. I create an easygoing space grounded in understanding, transparency and humor where you can bring your true self. I will challenge you to grow in a way that reflects your goals. During this journey, we may face some unknowns, but I hold this uncertainty with you and encourage you to embrace the discomfort with me. I do not think this is easy by any means but I want to face this with you. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation. I am available from Sunday to Thursday from 3pm to 10pm PDT. I truly look forward to meeting you.
In very brief, as a former staff member and previous Director of a college counseling center, I have 20 years of experience and am passionate and committed to working with Undergraduate and Graduate students. Im told I am easy to talk to, give helpful feedback and offer insight and perspective as well as new coping skills. Exploring questions and concerns, helping you describe and better understanding your problems and their origins is part of my approach. I also know students need immediate go to strategies that can often make a difference in how a semester goes. I work with any and all students but have some specialty experience in clients who are creative individuals such as artists and musicians, graduate students and health care majors. I appreciate you checking out my website (see below) or my Psychology Today profile for more information on my practice. Thank you. Hope to meet you soon.

I believe each of us has our own unique strengths, needs, and personality. I have worked with a wide variety of people who present with a wide range of personal struggles (anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, etc.). I have found that by being my true self, it allows others the space to do the same. I will incorporate various therapeutic techniques depending on your personal goals and comfort level. My goal is to empower you while fostering self-awareness, emotional growth, and positive change. 'The path to self-discovery is not a straight line. It's a zigzag." By Alicia Keys.
Hi, my name is Dr. Evan Podolak. I am a psychologist and work with teens and adults to help them if they are struggling with anxiety, depression, fears, stress and relationship issues. I work collaboratively with students to help them think about their problems in a more helpful way and to learn better ways to cope with their daily experiences.
It is not uncommon to feel "trapped" in your own skin and feel out of control. This feeling overflows & disrupts our relationships, work/school, sleep, diet, exercise, finances & life goals. Desperation can cause us to reach for temporary solutions like fad diets, overworking, food restriction, over using substances & unhealthy relationships. You aren't meant to be at war with yourself everyday. Within therapy we will work on managing symptoms, finding the roots of your pain and healing where they originated using "parts" work & memory reconsolidation. I provide a safe place for you to be truly "heard" which is often underestimated. I specialize in disordered eating/body image issues using a HAES (Health at Every Size) approach. I work with people of all sizes as disordered eating does not discriminant. Other areas of specialty include grief, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes and hormonal issues. It's common for these struggles to overlap. I understand how difficult it can be finding the "right" therapist. I believe in the power of human connection to be a strong component of therapy. I am humbled everyday by the trust my clients put in me to help them succeed. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have which can be scheduled via email. Thank you for your time!

My style is one that is warm and nurturing while also direct and honest. If you’re feeling stuck, not good enough, lonely, overwhelmed, devastated, or ashamed, you are not alone. I have dedicated my career to learning gold standard treatments to ensure that when clients have the courage to reach out for help, I am able to offer treatment interventions that they can trust will make a difference. I am a clinical specialist with expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, depression, complicated grief (suicide loss, perinatal loss), and unwanted sexual experiences (rape, sexual assault, harassment, violence). I began practicing in 2005 and have been a licensed psychologist since 2010.

ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.
I earned my PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) degree at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and I have worked in different settings including university/community counseling centers, dual diagnosis treatment centers, and psychiatric hospitals (Austen Riggs Center). I work from a psychoanalytic orientation. This approach emphasizes the importance of both past and present experiences, relationships, emotions, patterns of being, and the unconscious. While it is natural to want to move away from suffering, it is when we give it a voice that healing can begin. Though genetics can play a role in the development of psychiatric problems; symptoms are some of the ways our psyche and body deal with pain that has not been understood, contextualized, and articulated. My goal as a psychoanalytic therapist is to help my patients notice how their symptoms are not accidental experiences to dodge, but rather meaningful communications to explore. Only through this inquiry can patients tap into interpersonal and intrapersonal as well as conscious and unconscious phenomena that have shaped their life and continue to contribute to their suffering.
I realize that the decision to start therapy is not an easy one. Being in therapy is both a challenging and rewarding experience that can help you achieve life goals and help you reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. I consider it a privilege to work as a psychologist and to be a part of my clients’ lives. Prior to opening my private practice, I worked in a college counseling center for 6 years. I thoroughly enjoy meeting with college students and helping them navigate the challenges they are facing. Feel free to contact me by phone or email if you would like to set up a first appointment or learn more about my practice.
