About Align

A small, considered practice for online therapy.

We’re eight California therapists, licensed or registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences, and we work entirely online. We see clients in their 20s and 30s: the years when the questions get harder to put off, when your family of origin starts asking different things of you, when the relationship that seemed easy isn’t.

The work is steady. It’s grounded in research and still feels like a conversation. It’s warm without being a performance. We meet you where you are and help you make sense of where you’ve been.

What we work on

The things that bring you here.

Most clients arrive saying some version of the same sentence: I should be doing better than this. What we usually find underneath is one of these.

Anxiety & Overthinking

the alarm that stayed on

The mind that won’t slow down. The Sunday-night dread. The performance anxiety hiding inside ambition. Tools to get your evenings back, and work on what the alarm has been guarding.

Relationship Anxiety

the loop of doubt

The “what if I don’t really love them” question. Checking your feelings, seeking reassurance, comparing. We help you tell the anxiety apart from what you feel.

Read more →

Family Boundaries

the good-child trap

Setting limits with parents and family of origin, especially when the culture you grew up in reads boundaries as betrayal. Differentiation without estrangement.

Read more →

People-Pleasing

the exhausting yes

Saying yes when you mean no. The fawn response, dressed up as competence. We help you find the no, and trust that the right people will stay.

Read more →

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

the loops that don’t end

Pure-O, ROCD, harm OCD, scrupulosity. The thoughts you can’t talk about and the rituals you can’t stop. Exposure and Response Prevention, at a pace you can tolerate.

Read more →

Trauma

the past that’s still on duty

Childhood, relational and intergenerational trauma, and single events the body hasn’t finished with. EMDR and IFS online, with preparation first. You don’t have to retell everything.

Read more →

Sex & Intimacy

what’s gotten hard to talk about

Mismatched desire, performance worries, pain, shame, and what changes after a baby or a diagnosis. Talk therapy for individuals and couples.

Read more →

Disordered Eating

the second job nobody applied for

Restriction, binge eating, purging, body image, over-exercising and food noise. Weight-inclusive, non-diet care, including for people taking GLP-1 medications.

Read more →

Identity & Cultural Belonging

who am I, and who do others see?

Cultural identity, queer identity, the model minority script, the emptiness after achievement. Finding the version of you that lives underneath the expectations.

Read more →

Depression & Low Mood

the off you can’t quite name

The slow-burn version. The days that feel gray. The motivation that has quietly disappeared. The “I’m fine” that hasn’t been true for a while.

Read more →

Burnout & Work Stress

the tank you can’t refill

The exhaustion sleep doesn’t touch. The cynicism that wasn’t there a year ago. Work on the job itself and on what’s underneath it.

Read more →

Life Transitions & Feeling Lost

the in-between

Career pivots, moves, new parenthood, the version of you at 23 you can’t quite be anymore. The question of whether you’re in the wrong life, when nothing obvious is wrong.

Read more →

Loneliness & Connection

the friendships that thinned

The friend group that scattered. Group chats that aren’t the same as being known. Adult loneliness is a real clinical concern, and therapy is well suited to it.

Read more →

Couples & Premarital

the same fight in a different costume

Communication patterns, attachment ruptures, and the harder conversations before marriage. Fewer fights about housework, and more conversations about what the housework means.

Our team

A practice built by selection, not expansion.

There are a lot of online therapists in California. We are a few. That’s the choice we made: fewer clients, longer relationships, deeper work.

Every one of us trained at Pepperdine University, and the whole team meets for supervision every week. Between us we bring CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR, IFS, EFT, the Gottman Method, Bowen Family Systems and sex therapy, because no two clients need exactly the same approach.

Here, you’re a person we’ll be in the room with for as long as you need.

We don’t solicit testimonials from clients. Read what colleagues and students say about our team instead.

Our approach

Insight is the start. Integration is the work.

Most clients arrive having already read everything. They know the language. They’ve done the journaling. What hasn’t happened yet is the integration: turning what you understand about yourself into changes you can feel, instead of wincing every time you re-read your notes app.

That’s the work we do. It’s steady and deep, and trustworthy enough that you keep showing up.

Why therapy works →

How it works

  1. Book a free 15-minute consultation with the therapist you choose, or ask us to match you.
  2. Start weekly 50-minute sessions by secure video, from anywhere in California.
  3. Leave each session with something you can use this week, while the deeper work builds.
  4. Weekly outpatient care only. If you need more support, we’ll say so at the consultation and help you find it.
