Kelli's somatic EMDR helps clients who can already explain their patterns finally feel different, not just understand themselves better.
Kelli Redfield is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North County San Diego, seeing adults in person in Escondido and Del Mar. She specializes in somatic EMDR and sensation-focused trauma work for people who can explain their patterns clearly and still feel the old alarm firing. Somatic EMDR helps you work with what's happening beneath the surface—so you can finally begin to feel different, not just understand yourself better. She offers extended EMDR intensives of two to four hours alongside standard weekly sessions, and also works with OCD and phobias, bringing ERP into EMDR work for compulsive and avoidance patterns. Her style is exploratory and reflective — warm, curious, and grounded.

Briana brings over a decade of experience working with at-risk populations to help individuals feel truly listened to, heard, validated, and seen.

An EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, she works with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, PTSD, and religious trauma, listening for the deeper pattern feeding a symptom rather than the symptom alone. Over a decade across residential treatment, crisis response, school-based services, and coalition work with domestic violence survivors shapes how she hears the difference between what a client says and what they actually mean. She pairs trauma-informed, client-centered care with solution-focused technique, treats anger as a message worth understanding rather than suppressing, and describes her own style as direct and challenging.

Dr. Horng provides a safe space to explore all the different versions of yourself, while giving gentle yet firm guidance.
Dr. Angela Horng is a licensed clinical psychologist at Untangled Threads Psychology, licensed in both California and New York and working with young adults and adults by telehealth. A second-generation Taiwanese American raised in the Bay Area, she works with attachment and generational trauma, cultural identity, and neurodivergence, with particular care for clients carrying internalized perfectionism, fear of failure, and the weight of family and societal expectations on their mood and self-esteem. Her approach combines attachment-focused work with ACT, DBT, and somatic techniques, held inside a multicultural frame that treats culture, heritage, and history as part of the clinical picture rather than background detail. She describes her style as “fiercely warm” — active, collaborative, and willing to challenge rather than listen passively — and works to help clients see how past experiences shape their present relationships with themselves, with others, and with their own emotions. She sees clients in English, Chinese, and Lao.

Raishelle specializes in faith-based, holistic healing for women overcoming anxiety and trauma.
Raishelle Meagher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Ventura working by telehealth across California with teens, young adults, and adults. Her clinical focus is emotional dysregulation, approached holistically — body, mind, and spirit rather than the symptom alone — using somatic practices, breath work, mindfulness, and EFT with women navigating anxiety, trauma, and seasons of change. Faith is woven in at whatever level a client wants: for Christian clients that can mean scripture and prayer in session, and she also works with religious trauma and “church hurt” when faith itself is where the injury sits. She is explicit that clients of every background and belief are welcome, and integrates faith only to the degree it feels comfortable. Alongside weekly sessions she offers extended intensives of 90 minutes to four hours for people who feel stuck after years of traditional therapy.

Ariel works with clients on processing past trauma through EMDR and works on identifying maladaptive coping skills/patterns.
Ariel Grusky Foley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Santa Cruz, seeing teens, young adults, and adults at her Mission Street office and by telehealth across California. Her clinical focus is high-acuity trauma — the kind that has stopped being a memory and started shaping how someone gets through an ordinary day — and she is EMDR trained through Level II, which she uses to process past experiences directly rather than manage around them. She describes herself as blunt and meets clients without judgment: she validates what a person has actually lived through, then names the patterns they are building around it, so the role those patterns play becomes something they can decide about. Alongside trauma she works with anxiety, depression, body image and disordered eating, teens navigating the tension that comes with adolescence and family life, and men who were taught early that emotions were shameful or unimportant.

Lilliana helps clients navigating attachment based trauma, challenging behaviors, and early adversity.
Lilliana Dunbar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada City, seeing children, teens, young adults, and adults in person and by telehealth across California. Her clinical focus is early adversity — attachment-based trauma, toxic stress, and the behavior that grows out of them — and before she was a therapist she was a behavioral specialist supporting kids one-on-one in homes, schools, and the community. With younger clients she works through play therapy, sandtray, EMDR, and relational neuroscience, aiming at regulation from the inside out rather than compliance managed from the outside in. She also supports adults healing from their own trauma, particularly as they move through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting or co-parenting relationships, and works with adoption, foster care, blended families, and life transitions. Outside her therapy practice she is the founder of The Connected Response, her behavioral support company, through which she provides parent coaching and professional trainings.
