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

Outpatient Clinician

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.

Tristan Cook, LPCC

 Outpatient Clinician

In life we often encounter painful, overwhelming, or negative experiences that we didn’t want nor ask for. Whether it is a medical or mental health diagnosis, or trauma that we feel has marked our lives, I seek to help guide others along this path on their own terms. Despite the often frustrating nature of human life, there is always room for thriving.

Life can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and just plain hard. At times, our usual strategies to cope with life’s challenges simply stop working, or become too much to manage.

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. That’s why I started working with families with young children, the place where the mind is born and shaped. I learned that the family is at the center of our greatest highs and most profound lows…

I’m passionate about helping people. My own personal hardships as a teen with drugs and trauma lead to a significant amount of trouble (i.e., juvenile hall, group homes, etc.). I was on a dark path. I turned my life around through a lot of inner work and help, became a licensed psychologist…
