Gema Maldonado
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee
I work with individuals from the general population, supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My approach is integrative, drawing from solution-focused, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapies to help clients gain insight and build on their existing strengths. I strive to empower clients to look within, reconnect with their inner resources, and move toward meaningful change.

Guadalupe Torres
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee
Starting therapy is a brave step, and as an MFT Trainee, it’s an honor to walk alongside you. This space is entirely yours—whether you need to cry and process or want a focused space to navigate anxiety and depression. I provide an LGBTQIA+ affirming and feminist environment that is always safe, welcoming, and moves at your own pace.

Karla Silva
Marriage Family Therapist Trainee
Many of us were never taught how to understand or regulate our emotions, yet those emotions shape our relationships and the way we move through life. I enjoy helping clients build self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships.

Mallory Figueroa
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee/Professional Clinical Counselor Trainee
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, identity questions, or relationship challenges? I offer a warm, affirming space for couples, children, and adults, especially young adults ages 18–26 to explore these experiences with care and intention. I am passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, those with lived experience in the foster care system, and clients navigating non-traditional relationships. My integrative, trauma-informed approach blends mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based care to support healing, growth, and lasting change.
