Hello! I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Psychotherapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s complex challenges. With extensive training in a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, I specialize in working with diverse and varied populations, tailoring each treatment plan to meet the unique cultural, emotional, and psychological needs of the individual.

I Provide a safe, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative environment where patients can safely explore their inner worlds. Treatment is built on a foundation of empathy, active listening, and a deep respect for individual autonomy. Whether working with individuals experiencing neurodivergence, mood disorders, life transitions, trauma, or interpersonal difficulties, I utilize an integrative approach to foster resilience, deep self-awareness, and lasting personal growth.

Dedicated to inclusive and affirming care, I work closely with adolescents, adults, couples and families to empower every patient to discover their innate strengths and achieve an improved quality of life.

Therapist

119 South Church Street, Visalia, CA

I've been doing this work for 18 years, and the thing I hear most from new clients is some version of: "I wasn't sure therapy would work for me." I get it. Finding the right fit matters — and I think fit has a lot to do with feeling like your therapist actually understands where you're coming from. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and I bring a genuinely culturally informed perspective to the work. I see adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, family conflict, ADHD, identity questions, and relationship stress — across communities that are often underrepresented in mental health care. I'm direct when that's useful, patient when it's needed, and warm throughout.

Therapist

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.

Hi, I’m Denise Brady, LMFT— a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping people reconnect with their truest selves by healing the emotional wounds left by childhood and parental relationships. Whether you’re navigating the pain of emotional neglect, unmet needs, or complex family dynamics, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, process, and grow. My work is rooted in the belief that healing the inner child is not about blaming the past, but about understanding it — and learning how to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your power in the present.

Joanne Talbot

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Joanne Talbot, LMFT, and I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and patterns that may be keeping them from feeling like themselves.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying something difficult for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I believe meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are and work together from there.
