Hi, my name is Leticia and I specialize in past traumas - welcome to my practice.

Being bilingual has allowed me to work with Spanish speaking families. Being from a first generation immigrant family makes me sensitive to bi cultural issues. My scope of practice has been primarily with young children, foster children, and adolescents. I also work along with parents to provide them with skills to handle problems such as tantrums, sensory issues, parenting/discipline issues, behavioral problems, and anxiety. I also work with young adults struggling with family conflicts, bi-cultural issues, career decisions, depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma.

Tierra Patterson

Tierra Patterson

Therapist

Virtual • California


You may be the one everyone relies on, the strong one who keeps moving forward even when things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Therapy can be a place where you finally slow down, reflect, and focus on your own needs.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Welcome to my practice. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California. I have many years of experience working with a variety of clients including: children, veterans, hospital inpatients and outpatients, mental health clinics, and individuals in private practice. My orientation is cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and I received my year-long training and became a consultant at the Atlanta Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I also believe that trust is a central part of therapy and it is my responsibility to earn your trust. It is incredibly important that I have an accurate understanding of you, your situation and any problems you may be facing currently. I will rely on your guidance to ensure my understanding of you is accurate.
