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.
Trinh Reyes, LCSW
Virtual Outpatient Clinician
Like a lotus flower, sometimes it can feel as though we come from the murkiest water, but, we can grow into our best selves. Growth is possible. My strength as a therapist is empowering individuals, helping them draw on their strengths and heal holistically. With over a decade of experience, I am confident I can support you in achieving your goals.

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.

I’ve been a clinician since 2015 providing therapy to clients across the lifespan in various settings (in crisis, in jail, in home, etc.).

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. The family is at the center of our greatest highs and most profound lows…
