Find a therapist in California — covered by insurance

Hello and welcome! I'm a LMFT with a passion for helping adults and teens navigate life's challenges. Together, we can explore issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, domestic abuse, and suicidality, and work towards a brighter and more resilient future.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, being able to help individuals through different stages of life is important to me. I believe having developing our mental health is vital to living the life that you have always dreamed of.

I am a multilingual Filipino-American Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Vallejo, California, and an official external provider for faculty and staff at UCSF and UC Berkeley. With sixteen years of experience, I help adults navigate the complexities of living between cultures. My work is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. As an immigrant myself, I understand the challenges of balancing different worlds, and I honor the strengths and vulnerabilities that come with those experiences.

Therapy is for anyone and not a one-size-fits-all routine. I believe in working alongside clients to determine the best path forward. A safe space will always be provided but growth comes from discomfort and admitting to how we exist outside of what may be considered normal.

Hi, my name is Abel Blanco. I have over 15 years of experience as a Social Worker. I have worked with clients facing all different types of situations. I utilize an eclectic approach and develop a specialized treatment plan.

I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with over 20 years of experience in the field. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, relationship and family issues. I have worked with youth and adults in outpatient, community mental health, and forensic settings. I have experience in individual, group, family therapy, psychological evaluations, academic research.

I believe that the client, not the therapist, is the expert in their own life. My goal is to support and guide my clients see their strengths, increase self-awareness, and build new skills so that they can learn how to live a more satisfying life and develop healthy relationships with themselves and others.
