Surbhee Mehta, LMFT
Virtual Outpatient Clinician
It was through my own personal experience of crisis at a young age that led me to therapy, and in turn, to become a therapist. I know what it’s like to be on the other side, and I know how to reach kids. Always with a compassionate approach, I see their uniqueness and strengths and work collaboratively with them and you to find what works best.
Raina Lawler, LMFT
Clinical Operations Coordinator
I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including high schools and junior highs, family homes, and at nature camp in the Bay Area regional parks. My past clients include teen girls with anxiety, LGBTQI youth, and youth on the Autism Spectrum. This experience has given me a variety of skills that I use when seeing kids at Family Spring.
Jon Stenson, PhD
Outpatient Clinician
My inspiration for becoming a therapist stems from my own struggles as a child and adolescent. I experienced a great deal of confusion and emotional pain and began to gain an understanding of the untreated mental illness that existed in my community largely due to the traumatic events that myself, family, and friends were exposed to.

Tori Roca, LMFT
Virtual Outpatient Clinician
We each come from different walks of life, and our experiences can shape who we are and how we connect with the world around us.

I believe that good therapy requires trust and that building trust requires that I meet you where you are and allow you the time you need to feel safe.

Morgan Hong, LMFT

Regardless of our circumstances, we are all capable of healing. I know this because I have experienced it myself, and because I have witnessed and accompanied people in untenable conditions to deepen awareness about their patterns and access the agency and choice necessary to change.
Mica Gonzalez, PhD
COO / Clinical Director + Cofounder
Early on in my therapy training I realized that to help people, I had to understand where they came from.
