Many people come to therapy carrying pain that is difficult to put into words. You may understand why you're struggling, yet still find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling stuck in painful relationships, grieving losses, or wondering why lasting change feels out of reach. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, infertility, trauma, stress, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who want more than temporary relief, they want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns that have shaped your life while building greater self-awareness and self-compassion. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more connected, purposeful, and authentic.

Great to meet you!

I have a deep compassion for helping adults develop the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and begin the journey toward healing. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their past and present experiences, build self-awareness, and find meaning in their relationships and life events. My therapeutic approach is personalized and collaborative—together, we will identify areas of distress, build effective coping strategies, and work toward healing. I bring particular expertise in working with addiction, not only focusing on the individual but also understanding its impact on family systems and communities. I have a doctorate in marriage and family therapy and have been practicing for 15 years.

Hi, great to have you here! I know it can feel overwhelming to seek out therapy and find a good fit, and hope we might take that next step together! Many clients have described my personality as warm, not clinical, and intuitive to their emotions.

While I have worked for years with diverse clients, I specialize and work with people-pleasing women who want to increase their confidence, Christians who want to integrate faith + mental health, and individuals who feel the weight of their past impacting who they are today.

Travis Buchanan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


Hi, I'm Travis Buchanan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC). I know that reaching out for help can be one of the hardest steps a person takes, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate life's challenges.

Over the years, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of struggles, including relationship difficulties, addiction and recovery, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, and the impact of unhealthy or abusive relationships. My experience has taught me that while our challenges may shape us, they do not define us.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique story. Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood, gain insight, and discover new ways of moving forward.

Drawing from Adlerian principles and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, strengthen their relationships, build resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, struggling with addiction, or simply seeking a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, therapy can provide a path toward a healthier and more meaningful life.

My goal is to help you not only overcome obstacles but also build the confidence, connection, and sense of direction needed to thrive. Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.
