Christy Linder
Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker
So many of us struggle with life's challenges on our own until it starts to interfere with our joy and sense of purpose. What you're experiencing is real and there is a way through it. I'm passionate about providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients facing the inevitable challenges life throws at us.
I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and work within a strengths-based and trauma-informed perspective. I work with clients navigating stress management, anxiety, relationships, transitions and identity. Having spent much of my life in athletic spaces, I bring particular understanding to athletes who have tied their worth to how they perform. I also focus on betrayal trauma, the disorienting pain that can follow discovering the betrayal by someone close and trusted, and I help clients find their footing and rebuild trust in themselves and the world around them.
Wherever you're at in your healing journey, we'll start there and discover sustainable, lifelong solutions for creating the life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
Christy will begin seeing clients in July, offering in person sessions in Ventura, CA and telehealth throughout California. Join her waiting list to be contacted as soon as appointments become available.
Keily White
Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker
You don't have to walk this path alone. I believe everyone deserves to live authentically, and my passion is working with people who feel caught between life's demands and their own sense of self. I would love to help you rediscover who you truly are beneath the weight of expectation. I believe that healing happens in relationship and connection, where you can show up and fully and truly be seen.
In our work together, I draw on trauma-informed and anti-oppressive principles to create a therapeutic space that honors your experience. Recognizing that no two people are alike, I adapt my approach to fit your unique circumstances, experiences, and therapeutic goals, ensuring that your therapy truly reflects and responds to your individual needs.
Change is possible even when it feels out of reach, and I'm here to support you through that journey. I'd be honored to hear your story.
Keily is currently accepting new clients and offers in person in Santa Clarita, CA and telehealth throughout California.
