Tania Brunner

Tania Brunner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Irvine, CA


I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low self-worth, family conflict, and major life transitions.

My approach is both compassionate and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and not judged. I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have experience supporting clients through complex family dynamics, cultural expectations, and identity development. I also work closely with individuals dealing with disordered eating and body image concerns, helping them develop a more balanced and trusting relationship with themselves.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and thoughtful. I will meet you with empathy while also gently challenging you when needed to help you grow.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Perri Kruse

Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington, DC. I provide psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

I currently work with the Integrative Digestive Health team at UCLA Health and also provide therapy through Lyra Health. I bring extensive experience across medical and mental health settings, including six years as a liver transplant social worker at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, work on the first COVID unit at George Washington University Hospital, and leadership roles in community mental health organizations in Washington, DC.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, grounded in trauma-informed care. I primarily use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies while tailoring treatment to each individual. I have particular expertise in trauma, the intersection of physical and mental health, and interpersonal relationships. I offer both short- and long-term therapy and believe meaningful change happens in a space that feels safe, supportive, and authentic.

I am happy to provide a free 15-minute consultation (upon request) to ensure a good fit. To request a consultation, please email: [email protected].

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking in the Los Angeles mountains, kayaking, and spending time with my rescue dog, Sophia.

Bree Martin

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! I'm Bree Martin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #163961) with over eight years of behavioral health experience, including four years as a substance use counselor before becoming an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Throughout my career, I've worked with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. My background includes substance use treatment, community mental health, and crisis intervention, where I gained extensive experience helping individuals navigate recovery, co-occurring mental health concerns, and some of life's most difficult moments.

I believe therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, working toward recovery, processing past experiences, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Seeking support takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where healing and growth can happen.
