I’m Mira Viorst, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC, MA) offering deeply attuned, justice-centered, trauma-informed therapy that integrates both talk-based and somatic approaches. I specialize in successfully treating the presenting symptoms of childhood trauma and societal oppression, including anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, and longing for connection.

I provide both in-person sessions in Sebastopol and online care for clients throughout California. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, culturally sensitive, and shame-free; a space where your lived experience is honored and your story matters.

I have been in mental health since 2014 and in general healthcare since 1993. I enjoy working with clients of all ages. The clients that tend to gravitate towards my practice are female-presenting, neurodivergent, and families with children with behavioral challenges. I have a vast experience/knowledge base in mental health having worked in community agencies, private practice, school therapy (specifically IEP-related therapy), court- and CPS-involved cases, running groups, and working both on adolescent and adult psychiatric inpatient units. I offer a complementary brief meet and greet before scheduling the first appointment so my clients/families can ask me questions and see if my practice is a good fit for them. I also have a trauma treatment background with certification - trauma comes up in a lot of my work with clients even if that is not what led to starting therapy.

I believe that each individual has a purpose and that sometimes we need assistance in finding our purpose. Let me help you find your own purpose or regain focus on your life's path to feeling satisfied in the life you are living. I am available via online or in person and licensed in California and Arizona.

Do you push yourself to meet high standards, yet it never feels enough? Do doubt and guilt creep in as you strive to meet expectations? Do you often feel alone despite how much you give to others?

When you're used to managing alone, seeking support can feel daunting, you may even doubt that others can truly help. But I'm glad you're here, and taking this first step toward the support you deserve.

Many of the people I work with feel caught in a strong internal system shaped by high standards, chronic worry, and a persistent inner critic that can feel harsh or difficult to quiet. This often shows up as patterns of over functioning, people-pleasing, difficulty feeling “enough,” or getting stuck in cycles of anxiety and self-criticism. I also support clients experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns, as well as those impacted by earlier life experiences that continue to shape how they respond to current stress.

I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and work from a parts-based lens to help you understand and relate differently to these internal patterns. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as needed, and I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD.

Hi, I'm Tandrea Thysell, a California-based Marriage & Family Therapist. I've been providing therapy for most of my life (I think I was born to do this!), but professionally for more than 10 years.

I bring more than 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. I received my Master of Social Welfare from UCLA, and my work in group homes, schools, and community-based nonprofits has shaped my understanding of how emotional, academic, cultural, and environmental factors influence well-being.

I specialize in working with Latino and bilingual families, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood.
