LGBT therapists in Rocklin, CA

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and long-term psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.

My professional background includes service in military and veteran-support settings, as well as work in community mental health, medical and hospital-based environments, and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients across a wide range of life circumstances—from acute stress and major transitions to deeper, long-term personal growth.

My practice is grounded in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates evidence-based and relational therapies. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported, understood, and appropriately challenged, with the goal of not just symptom relief, but meaningful, lasting change in how clients relate to themselves and others.

I feel this work is a vocation driven by humility, love, patience, and integrity. I enjoy developing relationships and assisting people on their way to living life to their fullest potential. I believe the world can change one person at a time through mindful, values-based living. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, with my family and my three little furry friends.

My name is Matthew Bernarda, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, offering telehealth services to clients statewide. I specialize in helping adults navigate intense emotions, past trauma, substance abuse, and identity challenges. My approach integrates existential therapy, family systems, and narrative techniques to empower clients in shifting their perspectives, fostering self-compassion, and finding deeper meaning and purpose in their lives.

My name is Jessica Barton-Grimley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy in the state of California. I began working in the field of social work, specifically in homeless services, in 2014, earned a Master of Social Worker degree in 2018, and transitioned to overseeing a clinical team in 2021.

I have experience working with adults between the ages of 18 and 86 living with hoarding disorder, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, and interpersonal challenges. Additionally, I have experience working with formerly unhoused individuals, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, veterans, and individuals with unique abilities.

I was drawn to a career in therapy to support individuals in coping with the emotional toll of societal expectations, norms, values, and stressors of everyday life. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space to explore the distress you experience, deepen your self-awareness and self-compassion to lead a life that is meaningful to you.

I have 40 years experience in the mental health field in multiple roles, I believe listening and believing in the person is the most important way to practice therapy.
