My name is Sandra Martinez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County, CA.

I am trained in various evidence-based models of treatment and utilize an integrative therapeutic approach to optimize the needs of the clients that I serve. I have a collaborative approach to goal setting with clients. I work with the client to see what they would like to get out of therapy and what changes they want to make.
I began providing therapy under supervision in 2019 and became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2022. I have experience working with clients in both hospital and outpatient mental health settings and work primarily with adults and couples facing relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am an ordained pastor and am comfortable discussing spiritual concerns when they are important to a client. I welcome people from all backgrounds and beliefs and strive to provide a supportive environment where clients can talk openly about what is going on in their lives.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling and over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples across a wide range of settings, including dual diagnosis programs, residential treatment centers, county behavioral health clinics, and law-enforcement–affiliated crisis response teams.
My work alongside multiple police departments, providing crisis intervention in high-stress and high-risk situations, has shaped my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and effective even during life’s most overwhelming moments. I bring that same calm and steady presence into the therapy room.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and long-term psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.
My professional background includes service in military and veteran-support settings, as well as work in community mental health, medical and hospital-based environments, and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients across a wide range of life circumstances—from acute stress and major transitions to deeper, long-term personal growth.
My practice is grounded in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates evidence-based and relational therapies. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported, understood, and appropriately challenged, with the goal of not just symptom relief, but meaningful, lasting change in how clients relate to themselves and others.
Great to meet you!
I am Pamela and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked with teens and adults for over 20 years. I have experience in working with clients with anxiety, depression, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I have worked at schools for over 19 years with students aged 12 and older and very much enjoy working with school-aged students.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore emotional struggles, relationship dynamics, trauma, grief, anxiety, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, holistic, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices with empathy and authenticity to help clients build healthier relationships, improve communication, strengthen coping skills, and develop deeper self-awareness.
I believe healing happens through connection, trust, and understanding. My goal is to empower clients to move toward emotional wellness, resilience, and meaningful change in their lives and relationships.
I'm a quadruple-board-certified psychiatrist -- twice in Adult Psychiatry in Canada and the States, and 2x in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Canada and the States. I immigrated from Canada to LA in 2019 on an O-1 visa granted for my research in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method to treat depression. A mouthful, I know.
While I don't consider myself an "alien of extraordinary ability" (or Melania Trump, for that matter), UCLA and the USCIS did -- who knew! After years in academia on both sides of the pond, I've left the ivory tower to be the warm, irreverent (and of course professional) psychiatrist I am, fulfilling my life's mission to do the "art of medicine".
Hi, my name is Jaazar (Jay) Shalabi and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Are you struggling with past traumatic experiences, cycles of depression and/or anxiety? Maybe you are struggling with relationship issues, confidence, low self esteem. Perhaps you are a veteran struggling to deal with integrating back to civi life or take back control of your life once again prior to service.
As a child of trauma and combat veteran, I have lived through life with just enough insight through these lived experiences to help me discover that Insight=Power, and Power=Change; What do you change? well, thats the question only you have the answer to and hopefully I can support you in finding what that is.
