Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping my clients find more congruency and peace in their lives. People often believe that their feelings of anxiety and depression are their individual problem or failure, but very often these feelings are just a normal response to a challenging world. They come to their first session worried that they are crazy or deficient in some way, but they’re not. You don’t have to feel this way. I can help you develop understandings about how you are responding to your world, how you are making meaning of your life and how those meanings might be causing you to feel anxious, sad, hopeless, and frustrated. I have decades of experience helping people create lives that feel safe, meaningful, and more joyfully aligned with who they are and what they want.

I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults as they work through life's challenges. I am client-centered with a trauma-informed lens, often leaving clients feeling heard, validated, and empowered to continue reaching their goals.

As someone who has worked as a clinician embedded in a law enforcement agency, I am acutely aware of the realities of first responders and the impact the work can have on the individual and their relationships.

Sukhpreet Randhawa

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed psychologist with over three years of experience providing psychological services across a variety of settings, including outpatient care, correctional institutions, inpatient treatment, and first responder programs. My diverse clinical background has allowed me to work with individuals facing a wide range of challenges and life circumstances.

I earned both my Master's and Doctoral degrees in Psychology from Loma Linda University. During my doctoral internship, I trained in a Level IV state prison, where I provided treatment to individuals with serious mental illness and worked extensively with concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidality, adjustment difficulties, and emotional distress.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I utilize evidence-based approaches to help individuals develop insight, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life stressors. I specialize in working with individuals recovering from narcissistic abuse, high-conflict relationships, complex trauma, and chronic overwhelm.

I believe therapy should be a space where you don’t have to carry the harder parts of life alone. Trauma doesn’t just live in our thoughts — it can become stored in the nervous system and show up in the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Because of this, insight alone is often not enough for lasting healing.

I integrate EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, parts work, and nervous system regulation techniques to help clients process painful experiences, better understand themselves, and feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in their daily lives.
