Therapist

Hi, my name is Jaazar (Jay) Shalabi and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Are you struggling with past traumatic experiences, cycles of depression and/or anxiety? Maybe you are struggling with relationship issues, confidence, low self esteem. Perhaps you are a veteran struggling to deal with integrating back to civi life or take back control of your life once again prior to service.

As a child of trauma and combat veteran, I have lived through life with just enough insight through these lived experiences to help me discover that Insight=Power, and Power=Change; What do you change? well, thats the question only you have the answer to and hopefully I can support you in finding what that is.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Nick, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I primarily work with men, including gamers who may not always connect with traditional therapy.

I understand that gaming can be more than entertainment. It can be a place for challenge, connection, competition, escape, and self-expression. When helpful, we can incorporate video games into sessions as a shared activity or a way to better understand how you respond to stress, frustration, communication, and other people. Gaming is always optional, and traditional talk therapy remains available.

Kathleen Avila

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a second-generation Filipina therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, and life experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. I strive to create a space where you feel accepted exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Building trust, connection, and rapport is my first priority, because I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and supported.
