If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with are navigating burnout, grief, anxiety, life transitions, financial stress, or the pressure of constantly caring for others while neglecting their own needs.

Hi, I'm Tyana Larise Ingram, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from solution-focused and narrative therapies to help clients gain clarity, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. For those who desire it, I also offer optional Christian faith integration.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season or simply feeling ready for something different, therapy can provide a space to slow down, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

When I'm not working, you'll likely find me listening to live music, journaling, spending time outdoors, or taking walks with my rescue pup, Sunny D.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Welcome, I'm Britney Jackson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping adolescents and adults achieve better mental health through compassionate, evidence-based care. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, stress, insomnia, and other common mental health concerns. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry, low motivation, difficulty focusing, emotional ups and downs, or life transitions, I am committed to helping you find practical solutions that fit your unique needs.

Before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I spent several years as a registered nurse caring for patients in both inpatient medical and behavioral health settings. These experiences strengthened my ability to recognize complex mental health needs while providing compassionate, patient-centered care. Today, I combine psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and patient education to help individuals achieve lasting emotional wellness.

My philosophy is simple: every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered. Healing begins with trust, collaboration, and a treatment plan tailored to your goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you're feeling stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by your own thoughts, or unsure how to move forward, you're in the right place. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ongoing life stress. A lot of the people I see are looking for clarity, relief, and practical ways to handle what they're going through. Together we'll break things down so they actually make sense and build skills you can use in real life, not just in session, so you leave with a clearer path forward that fits what matters to you.

Therapist

I'm not just your therapist — I'm a mama who has been in the trenches too. After navigating my own postpartum experience and the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, I found my purpose: walking alongside mothers and families during some of life's most tender and transforming moments. Raising my amazing autistic son has also deepened my understanding of what it means to parent with love, resilience, and a whole lot of grace.

I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen — not judged, not rushed, just held. My approach is rooted in authenticity and compassion, creating a space where your full story is welcome. Whether you are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, grief, or the emotional weight of a special needs diagnosis, you do not have to carry it alone.

This work is personal to me. And that's exactly why I show up the way I do.

I offer a warm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and grow. My approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your needs. If you choose, we can incorporate Christian values, scripture, and prayer into your healing process.

I predominantly work with Christian females and also see males and non-faith-based clients. We'll create a space where both your emotional and spiritual life are honored. Whether you want to process difficult emotions, build healthier coping strategies, or reconnect with your identity and purpose, I'll meet you with empathy and evidence-based tools.

Amaris Garcia

Amaris Garcia

Therapist

Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.

At the core of my work is this belief:

You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.

If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.
