Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.
Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.
I'm Matt Darst, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained at the University of Southern California, with advanced training in military and veteran clinical social work. I work with adults who are motivated to change but feel stuck — navigating trauma, addiction, mood disorders, OCD, grief, or the kind of cumulative pressure that quietly builds until something gives.
My clients tend to be high-functioning people who look fine from the outside but are carrying more than they let on. That includes professionals managing stress and burnout, veterans and first responders, and anyone who's ready to do honest, purposeful work — regardless of background or title.
I bring a direct, warm style grounded in kind accountability. I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to help you move.
It is my prayer to build a practice that helps you reach a place where your mental health is truly at the forefront. My hope is that with each appointment—and each day—you feel supported in moving closer to the best version of yourself.


Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding OCD therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, contamination concerns, checking behaviors, compulsions, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or direct experience supporting people living with OCD.
Pasadena has a focused local mental health care market, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access to a therapist with specific OCD training. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may offer support, while a therapist with specific ERP training may be a closer fit for OCD-focused care. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer clear profile details. You can compare therapists, review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
