Sakeenah Hakim

Sakeenah Hakim

Therapist

Virtual • Inglewood, CA


I use a strength-based, holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes how trauma affects behavior and development. I prioritize your needs and encourage partnership when establishing and meeting your treatment goals.

I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach. I'm patient and respect the time it takes to build trust. I believe words are powerful and help clients shift language patterns that feed negative thinking.

Joann Yang

Joann Yang

Therapist

Virtual • California


You are overwhelmed at work, a place where you’ve excelled. Your personal life and relationships are affected, and you don’t feel like yourself. The work stress, anxiety, and perfectionism, coupled with lack of motivation, mindless wandering, and change in confidence is getting to you. You want to find a way to feel happy, excited, and fulfilled again but there’s a blocker and you’re not sure what it is. Therapy is a safe space to explore and work through these challenges, and I’d be honored to be a part of that journey with you.

I specialize in Asian American Pacific Islander mental health, specifically anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, first generation, children of narcissistic/"tiger" parents, aging parents, grief, guilt/shame, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and academic/career counseling. I also work with clients in pregnancy and postpartum.

Nickolas Falangas

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I’m a bilingual (English + Spanish) board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a creative, client-centered approach. I blend multi-modality therapy with medication management to support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Before entering mental health, I worked as a global photojournalist, capturing stories across continents — a career that sharpened my empathy and deepened my understanding of the human experience. Mental health is personal for me. I lost my brother to untreated illness, and I carry that with me in how I show up for my clients. I don’t believe your life has to be defined by the past or your circumstances. My goal is to help you move forward.

Therapist

11590 West Bernardo Court, San Diego, CA

Are you are experiencing verbal and/or mental abuse from a romantic partner, a parent, sibling, friend, co-worker? Do you struggle with your own internal thoughts (e.g. "you’re not good enough”, "it's all your fault", “you are not a priority”). Maybe you’ve lost someone and you’re grieving. You are emotionally exhausted because of the pain you hide and the inability to say "no". You tell yourself the good is good but the bad is bad. You're scared and confused on what to do or how to "fix" things. These experiences create rumination, avoidance, trauma, anxiety, and more.
