For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals untangle the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re feeling on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.

Therapist

815 West Foothill Boulevard, Monrovia, CA

  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Rachelle Goldenberg

Rachelle Goldenberg

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

2910 Camino Diablo, Walnut Creek, CA

You've always been capable.

The systems around you weren't built for you.

I'm Rachelle Goldenberg, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker, neuroaffirming therapist, and a late-diagnosed AuDHD adult. That last part matters, because I know firsthand what it's like to spend most of your life feeling like you're failing at something everyone else finds easy.

Over 26 years in this field, I've learned that how I practice isn't determined by training alone. It's shaped by understanding that exhaustion, avoidance, emotional intensity, or difficulty focusing often isn't a character flaw—it's information about what your nervous system, body, and environment actually need.

At Swift Mind Care, I focus my work to serve neurodivergent adults navigating ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, and the quiet grief of a late diagnosis. If you've spent years wondering why the world felt so much harder for you than it seemed to for others, you're in the right place.

Jackie Allen

Therapist

Virtual • Culver City, CA


I have over six years of experience supporting young people through the challenges of growing into adulthood. My clients are older teens and young adults (approx. ages 16-21) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity questions, and relationship challenges. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, high sensitivity, and finding my place in the world, I know what it’s like to get stuck; to struggle to ‘launch’ into independence; and to feel shame, guilt, and self-doubt as a result. This informs the way I show up as a therapist: nonjudgmental, affirming, and supportive.

Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it? A little about me: I love going to CrossFit every morning. I am a huge nerd, constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors: snowboarding, motorcycle/dirt biking, hiking, any movement &traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. Tambien hablo español! Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it.

Currently, I am offering tele-health sessions only, with availability M-TH from 9:00am to 2:30pm. I am unable to offer appointments outside of these hours. If that works for you, let me know if you’re interested in booking a session, or if you’d prefer to start with a brief 10-15 minute phone consultation!
