41865 Boardwalk, Palm Desert, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Coachella valley. Going into private practice was not an impulsive decision. It is something I have thought about carefully, and I am committed to making it work well for the people I work with. My background includes clinical work with adults and families

across a range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, to non profits and private practice. I am based in Palm Desert for in person sessions and serve clients throughout

California via telehealth.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, women navigating Postpartum and those facing life transitions. I also work with people dealing with chronic stress, relationship challenges, and the kind of emotional weight that builds up when life keeps asking more of you than you feel you have to give. I have a

particular connection to working with Latino and bicultural clients, single parents, and people who are navigating coparenting and the identity shifts that come with it. I also provide Immigration mental health evaluations for those seeking cancellation of removal, hardship waivers, U-Visas or VAWA evaluations to support their immigration case.

790 East Santa Clara Street, Ventura, CA

Many of the women I work with grew up with high expectations & low emotional support. They learned to prioritize loyalty, achievement, or caregiving over their own needs. Over time, this can create anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, and a deep sense of disconnection from the self. I specialize in working with women healing from abuse, emotionally unavailable parents & religious & intergenerational trauma. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, perfectionism, hyper-independence, difficulty setting boundaries, or feelings of responsibility. They often know "why they are the way they are" but still feel stuck.

Therapist

Virtual • Visalia, CA


Starting therapy can feel like a big step my approach is all about making the process feel comfortable, supportive, and down-to-earth—like a real conversation, not a clinical checklist.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, going through a big life change, or just feeling stuck, we’ll figure things out together at your pace. I bring a warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental energy to every session, and my goal is to create a space where you can be your full self—laugh, cry, vent, reflect, explore... whatever you need, it's all welcome.

I've had the privilege of working with kids, teens, and adults, and I understand that each stage of life comes with its own ups, downs, and curveballs. No matter where you are on your journey, we’ll start there—no pressure, no pretense. Just real talk and real support.

Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life.

Cindi Lane-Pompa

Therapist

Virtual • California


I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism), LGBTQIA individuals, and those navigating chronic illness, burnout, and perimenopause or menopause. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like nothing they’ve tried has worked.

You might feel like you’re constantly “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, or like simple things take more energy than they should. That’s not a personal failure—it’s a sign that your brain and body need different kinds of support.

With over twelve years of experience, I offer therapy that is warm, affirming, and practical. I help clients reduce overwhelm, build coping tools that actually work, and better understand how their brain and body function.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build a life that works for you.

Therapist

Life can feel overwhelming when you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or a major life transition. You may appear to have everything together while privately feeling emotionally exhausted, worried, stuck, or unsure about what comes next. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what you are experiencing, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of professional experience. My educational background includes the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and my experience includes behavioral health, medical social work, trauma-informed care, grief and loss, chronic health concerns, caregiver support, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, increase confidence, and make meaningful changes in daily life. I individualize treatment because therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

I provide online therapy to adults throughout California and Nevada, including professionals, caregivers, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship or family stress, work-related stress, health-related concerns, or significant life changes. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith-integrated therapy, incorporating faith, prayer, spiritual values, and biblical principles in a way that is comfortable and meaningful to you.

You do not have to be in crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something needs to change. Together, we can work toward healthier coping, stronger relationships, greater emotional well-being, and a renewed sense of direction and hope.

No matter where you are on your journey, HOPE Abounds.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm Jenna — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and a former collegiate athlete who knows firsthand what it's like to build an identity around performance, and what happens when that identity gets challenged. That experience quietly shapes everything about how I show up with clients. I work with athletes at all levels, women navigating major life transitions, teens and adults managing anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship stress, and new and expecting mothers adjusting to one of life's most significant changes. I also welcome clients who want to bring their faith into therapy — exploring how spiritual beliefs intersect with mental health is something I hold with care and without pressure. I accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Carelon and other insurance providers through Headway, and I offer all sessions via telehealth so you can connect from anywhere in California.
