Elizabeth Casas-Valdovinos

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, great to meet you! I’m Elizabeth Casas-Valdovinos, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides individual therapy to adults in English and Spanish. With more than five years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult—and I’m committed to creating a welcoming, compassionate space where you can feel heard and understood.


I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem. Together, we can explore what you’re going through, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward healing and meaningful change.


I earned my Master of Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino, and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2025. As a wife, mother, and Christian, I value compassion, connection, and hope. When desired, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate a client’s faith and personal values into therapy while respecting each individual’s unique beliefs and experiences.


Taking the first step toward counseling takes courage. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Cynthia Robbins

Cynthia Robbins

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello and welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and I want to acknowledge the courage it can take to reach out. My name is Cynthia, though I go by Cyndra, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who primarily works with individuals.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own unexpected life transition. In 2010, I experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that dramatically changed the course of my life. During my recovery, I gained a deeper understanding of how challenging major life transitions can be and how important it is to have support while navigating uncertainty, loss, and change. I also became fascinated by how the brain works, how our experiences shape us, and our capacity to heal and adapt. That journey ultimately led me into the mental health field in 2012.

Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.

Hans Kulla-Mader

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

850 Colorado Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

Hey there, I'm Hans. A little about what I do: I have conversations. I bring my whole self to them: my curiosity, training, humor, and life experience—then together, we'll work toward whatever you're trying to change, understand, or get unstuck from.


I enjoy working with creatives of any age, as well as people in their twenties and thirties navigating anxiety and major life transitions. Drawing on CBT, relational, and humanistic approaches, I tailor our work together to how you want to be helped, rather than fitting you into one method. In my experience, when two people show up fully and commit to the process, moments of insight emerge that carry well beyond our sessions.
