Top virtual therapists in California who accept cash payments

Aloha, I’m Juliana, a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) in California, dedicated to guiding women through deep healing and transformation. My journey into mental health began in 2009 after the profound loss of my father to suicide, an experience that shaped my commitment to understanding trauma, grief, and the complexities of the human experience. I have been licensed since 2017 and bring over 15 years of hands-on experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and families navigating trauma, relational wounds, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I believe that true healing is possible when we reconnect with the wisdom of the body, nurture our inner child, and embrace the hidden parts of ourselves with compassion. My work blends somatic practices, attachment-based therapy, and psycho-spiritual tools to help my clients build inner security, process accumulated pain, and reclaim their authentic voice. I integrate somatic awareness, inner child work, and shadow integration to guide women not just toward healing, but toward empowerment, transformation, and self-trust. My approach is warm, intuitive, and deeply integrative, honoring each woman exactly where she is. I meet clients with sensitivity to the cultural, spiritual, and personal dimensions that shape their daily experience. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for women, helping them navigate grief, relational wounds, and life transitions with courage, insight, and compassion. Beyond therapy, I create programs designed to educate, support, and inspire, empowering women to remember their wholeness, rewrite old narratives, and cultivate the freedom to live authentically. My work is not about “fixing”—it’s about remembering, integrating, and transforming into the fullest expression of self.

I specialize in helping people with anxiety and depression and managing relationship issues. Clients often describe my style as laid-back, personable and engaging. Life is challenging at times. Let's have a conversation about what you are going through and see how our discussions might help you! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 25 years. I enjoy talking to people and helping them work through the challenges they are experiencing. By carefully listening, we can collaborate together to come up with ideas and plans to work through your challenges. I use a variety of approaches to come up with practical and pragmatic interventions to help clients get feeling and functioning better. Clients can expect to thoroughly analyze the presenting issue they came to the session with in order to develop insights and possible solutions. Clients will leave the therapy session with homework assignments and practical exercises that help reduce the symptoms they are experiencing.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” I am a LCSW with experience working with individuals and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. My therapeutic style is a holistic approach with evidence based treatments (EBT) that are tailored to the presenting concern, personal history, and individual strengths. I am a therapist who talks during session, often providing feedback and perspective, while encouraging you to develop your own hypotheses and insights. You are the expert in you, while I serve as your guide in developing a deeper understanding of yourself. During the sessions goals will be discussed to ensure focus and progress. Together we will also decide if we are a good "fit," as this is an imperative to the overall process.

I have always wanted individuals to succeed and to “strive for excellence.” I always see the “real” person in spite of the drugs, the drama, and the shame. Helping people to see their light and to seek the potential in themselves is one of my greatest joys. In 2016, my friend Rob Owen, M.A. (educational philosopher, author, and teacher), and I co-founded Pioneer Academy, a progressive middle school in Corralitos, California, to address the developmental, educational, emotional, & mental health needs unique to middle school kids. There, I taught middle schoolers about psychology and the power of the subconscious mind. Currently, I am happily providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Therapy. I work with individuals and couples facing communication issues, boundary issues, job dissatisfaction, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, faith crises, parenting, and both women's and men’s health and wellness issues. I currently do not work with clients struggling with depression and suicidality. I also facilitate energy psychology sessions for those interested in Psych-K®, Emotion Code®, and Body Code® modalities, along with their regular therapeutic sessions. For those seeking energy psychology, sessions start with a check-in, a Heart-Math Institute Quick Coherence Technique, followed by therapy techniques and subconscious brain techniques and the co-creation of an action plan.

My philosophy is one of pragmatism. I believe that life is a sport and we don't always know who the opponent is. I also believe that everyone is an expert in their life whether they know it or not. Therefore, I strive to encourage others to establish their core values and then train and strength their mind for the sport of life. I encourage them to live their best life and to keep getting up no matter how many times they are knocked down. I believe that we should live our lives unapologetically with as few regrets as possible. We should never stop striving to attain the life that we envision.

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” Desmond Tutu In the dark moments, our need is for connection with someone that will hold hope for our future self.
