As a therapist I'm here for you. It seems brave to me make a decision to come to therapy. My part is to listen and without judgment or personal agenda and to be effective in your needs and wants. Of course, I also need to be aware of the legals and ethicals of therapy. I attended Sarah Lawrence College and Harvard University for my BA, and Phillips Graduate Institute for my MA.

I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who, despite their success, struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You may look confident on the outside, but inside, you feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from true fulfillment. I understand the unique pressures that come with success and provide a supportive space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

The journey to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line for me—I arrived here after walking many different paths in my life. For me, being a therapist isn’t about being an expert who sits above you. It’s about someone you can feel warm with, open with, and safe around.

Audie Vera

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Audie, and I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship dynamics, professional development, and family conflicts. Welcome to my practice.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and graduated with my master's in marriage and family therapy from USC Rossier School of Education.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique needs. I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients and those in monogamous, ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous or other types of relationship structures. Therapy is a space for self-discovery and growth, and I’m here to support you in creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Please note that I can only see those interested in doing couples therapy as private pay clients. (Unfortunately most insurance contracts do not include couples therapy as a billable service but I can discuss a sliding scale rate with you).

Christine Lam

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello I’m Christine Lam, a licensed clinical counselor based in California. I specialize in helping individuals better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. One phrase you’ll often hear me say in therapy is, “You are the expert on your own life.” By that, I mean that you bring the lived experiences, insights, and wisdom that come from being you. My role is not to tell you who you are or what you should do, but to serve as a collaborative guide - helping you make sense of your experiences, emotions, and patterns in a space free from judgment, expectations, or performance. My goal is to create an environment where you feel fully seen, understood, and welcomed exactly as you are.
