Our therapists offer couples and marriage counseling services in California.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) with a Masters from Cal State Fullerton. I have experience with children and adolescents faced with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, poor self esteem, and loss. My goal is to create a safe space for all to feel supported and empowered to create the change they wish to see.

I utilize a client centered and strengths based approach to promote trust and collaboration that works towards long term change. I also support clients in identifying and changing negative thinking patterns, practice mindfulness, and create positive coping skills so they may feel confident navigating future challenges.

No matter your age, race, background, or circumstances, I believe everyone deserves to feel supported, respected, and heard. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you and support you as you navigate your own unique journey.

I spent many years working in the entertainment industry before returning to school to pursue my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am currently an ACSW working toward licensure, with training in trauma-informed care, substance abuse, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with a wide range of clients, particularly individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges, and many are seeking support in understanding themselves more deeply, improving coping skills, building healthier relationships, and feeling more grounded in their daily lives. 

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and person-centered techniques to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel more empowered in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. 

Healing and growth can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, I would be honored to support you along the way.

Aurelio’s specialties include adults experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, loss of a loved one, relationships, and stress.

Aurelio draws upon his 26 years of military service and nine overseas deployments, along with his passion for serving others, to provide a meaningful therapeutic experience. He enjoys providing psycho-education and using cognitive behavioral therapy.

I’m Ghadia Ilham, MSW, ACSW, and I provide compassionate, person-centered therapy grounded in trauma-informed care. My clinical experience includes supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain and are seeking a safe space to process their experiences, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional well-being, and create meaningful change.

I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, drawing from CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client where they are. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, chronic illness and adjustment while developing coping skills, emotional awareness, and practical tools for lasting growth.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, explore your experiences, and move toward greater confidence and well-being. When you’re ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin your journey toward meaningful change.
