Gina Cole

Gina Cole

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


I help clients break the cycle of self-defeating patterns by exploring the lasting impact of early attachment wounds—especially the often unspoken pain of under-mothering and emotional neglect. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing begins when we de-stigmatize shame and make space for our unmet needs.

With certification in EMDR and advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I support clients in working through trauma, grief, and relational challenges. My background also includes working with first responders and professional athletes navigating high-pressure roles and emotional resilience.

Whether you're facing anxiety, grief, or feeling stuck in old patterns, I provide a steady therapeutic presence—offering insight, empathy, and deep respect for your healing process. Together, we work toward greater self-trust, healthier boundaries, and a renewed sense of wholeness.

Ashley Timbrell

Ashley Timbrell

Therapist

Virtual • California


Seeking support takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative environment where we can explore what's keeping you stuck and build practical tools that help you move toward the life you want.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, perfectionism, self-worth concerns, and depression. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major change, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we'll work together to develop lasting skills and meaningful insight.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Houston. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both California and Texas and provide secure telehealth therapy to adults in both states.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

Dr. Kenji Jones

Dr. Kenji Jones

Therapist

Virtual • California


Have you been carrying so much for everyone else that you've forgotten what it feels like to simply breathe?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, grieving, or navigating a major life transition, you don't have to go through it alone. Therapy offers a space where you don't have to be the strong one, have all the answers, or pretend everything is okay.

I'm Dr. Kenji M. Jones, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than a decade of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment.

My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, gain clarity, build on your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want—not one that simply feels manageable, but one that feels meaningful.

Katherine Alvarez

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi! My name is Dr. Katherine Alvarez and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in helping individuals navigate challenges related to anxiety, relationship stress, social difficulties, OCD, life transitions, graduate student stress, self-esteem, cultural and racial identity. I also offer support for parents seeking guidance on how to best support their children with learning disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral difficulties.

I received my Master’s in Education and my Doctorate in combined School-Clinical Psychology from Pace University. My training spans a variety of public and private institutions across New York and California, including therapeutic day school programs, community mental health clinics, and foster care agencies. This diverse background has deeply shaped my clinical perspective and inspired my special interest in exploring intergenerational trauma and how it impacts the way we experience the world. I am passionate about creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your identity and its influence on your journey of self-understanding. Additionally, I have completed specialized training in ERP for treating OCD and anxiety disorders, and I am deeply committed to providing education on and de-stigmatizing OCD.
