Dr. Amy Balete, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist #PSY-24979
With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, I bring clinical expertise and personal experience to help you heal, grow, and move forward. When life feels overwhelming, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice or sense His presence. Whether you are navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, burnout, relationship issues, challenges as a new parent, or a season of uncertainty, you do not have to carry those burdens alone. Using proven therapeutic methods from a faith-based perspective, I help clients process painful experiences and develop a customized treatment plan for lasting healing and growth beyond our work together.

Catherine Galindo, LCSW, PPSC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker #LCSW – 127393
With more than 10 years of experience, I am passionate about helping people create meaningful change in their lives through genuine relationships, practical guidance, and faith-informed support. My work has included serving culturally diverse communities, including young adult and adult individuals, families and children, first responders and their families, and active-duty and veterans and their families. Clients often appreciate my honest and approachable style, as well as the wisdom, insight, and humor I bring into the counseling process. Together we will identify practical steps that support your goals, build on the progress made between sessions, and create lasting growth as you pursue the healthiest version of yourself, with God’s help and direction.

Dr. Sheri Thompson, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist #PSY-23864
As a Christian Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I offer both psychotherapy (therapy) and counseling services. Although the focus and methods overlap considerably, counseling tends to be more problem-focused and shorter duration (adjusting to a destabilizing life transition or loss, making important health changes, or improving communication skills, for example). Therapy can address deeper, broader goals and clinical conditions, such as gaining insight into one’s purpose, breaking a pattern of unhealthy relationships or recovering from major depression or anxiety disorders. As a supplement to traditional therapy, many of my clients have also benefitted from relaxation and stress management training and/or health counseling.

Dr. Cyndie Claypool de Neve, D.Min, LMFT, CCTP
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #LMFT-138446
As a Christian Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I love being used by God to bring healing and hope to those who are hurting. I enjoy working with school-aged children, teens, college students, families, couples, and adult individuals and am experienced working with high-risk clients struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, self-harm behaviors, anger, dysfunctional relationship/communication patterns, life transitions, abuse, and more. I also work with military families and creatives who feel stuck.
