Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm Roz Hedayatian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles. I work with adults who are navigating relational pain, anxiety, and life transitions. My clients tend to be self-aware, curious about themselves, and ready to go deeper than managing symptoms. If you've ever felt like you understand your patterns but can't seem to change them, that's exactly the kind of thing we'd explore together.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Lodi, CA


Whatever's brought you here — depression that's hard to shake, anxiety that won't quiet down, the weight of past trauma, the ups and downs of bipolar disorder, or strain in your closest relationships — you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 28 years of experience, and I've spent that time helping individuals, couples, and families find their way through life's hardest stretches.

My specialties include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and trauma, along with deep experience in relationships, family dynamics, child development, and parenting. After nearly three decades in this work, very little feels too big or too complicated to bring into the room — and I'll meet you with both warmth and the honesty that real change requires.

My name is Gillermina Alvarado and I go by Mina. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Riverside, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I received my Master's from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 9 years.

When you're feeling overwhelmed, at a loss, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, the safe space of therapy can help restore your sense of self. Together, we may help you quiet self-criticism, calm your emotions, or rebuild strained relationships. I offer a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in effective practices. I deeply believe in the potential in everyone, and gladly meet clients where they are each step of the way. Most clients begin to feel relief in the first few sessions.
