Larry Goodman

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


I offer a direct, warm, and affirming approach in therapy. I work with men, women, teens, and pre-teens to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. These include anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, high-functioning autism and relationship issues.

Many of my clients also struggle with a deeply held belief that something is “wrong” with them or that they are undeserving of respect, dignity, and love.

Clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety related to relationships, work, and self-image. Many are neurodiverse. Others face challenges such as social anxiety, feeling like they are “failing” at life, or being in frustrating relationships where they feel unheard, overlooked, or unequal.

Using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help clients reduce anxiety and trauma, build self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is simple: to help you feel better, stronger, and more confident in your life.

I like to work with teens and their families offering practical strategies to reduce defiance, stress, and anger, so both parents and children can experience more positive, joyful, and connected outcomes.

Before becoming a therapist, I received an MBA from UCLA and spent over 30 years in the corporate world, working in IT, banking, aerospace, manufacturing, marketing, and management. I served as an Executive Director of a local counseling agency. This background allows me to effectively help professionals, as well as individuals navigating major life transitions, including aging. I enjoy supporting and coaching new therapists.

Elisa Bernal

Elisa Bernal

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Elisa. I specialize in supporting women of all ages and stages in life, especially mothers and caregivers, through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and the many emotional shifts that come with motherhood and womanhood. Whether you’re a new mom, returning to work, coping with postpartum changes, grieving a loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the many roles you carry, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through the emotional shifts that come with pregnancy, postpartum, identity changes, and the ongoing evolution of motherhood and womanhood.

If it feels like everything is falling apart, your emotions feel heavy or confusing, or you barely recognize yourself anymore, I get it, because I’ve lived it. I work with women who are exhausted from worrying, caregiving, and carrying it all, and who are ready to find steadiness, relief, and a sense of themselves again.

I understand firsthand how these seasons can bring both joy and overwhelm. From early motherhood to balancing career and family, to navigating hormonal and identity changes later in life, therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself—not who you think you “should” be, but who you are becoming.

**I am bilingual and offer therapy in both Spanish and English
