I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who, despite their success, struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You may look confident on the outside, but inside, you feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from true fulfillment. I understand the unique pressures that come with success and provide a supportive space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

Audie Vera

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Audie, and I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship dynamics, professional development, and family conflicts. Welcome to my practice.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and graduated with my master's in marriage and family therapy from USC Rossier School of Education.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique needs. I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients and those in monogamous, ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous or other types of relationship structures. Therapy is a space for self-discovery and growth, and I’m here to support you in creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Please note that I can only see those interested in doing couples therapy as private pay clients. (Unfortunately most insurance contracts do not include couples therapy as a billable service but I can discuss a sliding scale rate with you).

Joshua Dieterman

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Hello, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose practice is rooted in one foundational belief: every person deserves compassionate, individualized mental health care — regardless of background, circumstance, or the barriers and challenges they've faced along the way.

I focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and life's traumas, with a particular dedication to individuals from underserved and marginalized communities who have historically faced systemic barriers to quality mental health care.

All care is grounded in evidence-based practice, blending the most current clinical research with individualized judgment and patient-centered values. As a lifelong learner, I actively pursue continuing education and emerging best practices in psychiatric care — because excellence in medicine requires ongoing growth, humility, and a willingness to be taught by both science and the patients who make this work meaningful.

I welcome patients of all backgrounds and identities, and I am honored to walk alongside each person on their journey toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
