Marili Arellano Alvarez

Marili Arellano Alvarez

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Marili!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. I believe true healing happens in the body, not just the mind. As a somatic psychotherapist, I use approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting to help clients heal trauma, make sense of how larger systems have shaped them, and reconnect with who they really are.

As an immigrant, much of who I am has been shaped by the work of belonging to two worlds without fitting neatly into either. I know what it means to want to belong somewhere that doesn't always make space for you and to hold pride in where you come from anyway. That lived experience is the root of my curiosity about people, and it shapes how I sit with clients navigating their own questions of identity, belonging, and worth.

Janani Venkateswaran

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Carmichael, CA


Are you struggling to have harmony in your relationships? Does having ease in your life seem like a far-fetched dream? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world and all you have to do? Welcome, you're in the right place! I have been in your shoes and the first (or twenty) step is always the hardest. As someone who has learned to balance multiple cultures, I know what it can feel like to straddle various parts of your identity. I have first hand experienced feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, and at a complete loss for how to navigate the intensity of my emotions. This has informed my practice and work with clients where I strongly believe that our emotions guide us to understanding ourselves in a new light. Asking for help can be difficult, especially in a culture that values productivity over personality.

Vivian Rowe

Vivian Rowe

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! I am a Marriage & Family Therapist, licensed in OR and CA, and have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I offer holistic psychotherapy to adults with an accepting, calm, and compassionate approach. Many of my clients are busy people with multifaceted lives, and deal with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. Other clients reach out with work or career worries, creative blocks, spiritual matters, or for personal growth. I work from a Jungian perspective, so at times might incorporate dream work, symbolism and synchronicity into our work together. Ultimately though, I will meet you where you are and incorporate the tools best suited for you.
