If you’re stuck right now, we can help.
What do Olympic superstar Simone Biles and octogenarian actress Jane Fonda have in common? They’re both phenomenally successful women who have spoken out about the benefits of therapy. That’s because therapy is one of the most powerful tools in the professional woman’s toolbox.

- or improve your overall mental health,
we can pair you with a Stella Nova therapist who is a great match for your goals.
Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are normal responses to the pressures and challenges of our hectic lives. But when they get in the way of the things and people that we care about, it’s time to get extra support.
Therapy can help you build tools to stay grounded in the face of life’s ups and downs. Sleep better, reduce worry, and feel more calm and relaxed in your body.
Relationships
Healthy relationships are central to a happy, meaningful life for most of us. But things like past trauma, communication problems, social anxiety, and boundary issues can all get in the way.
Whether you need help navigating complex family relationships, or building more fulfilling friendships or romantic relationships, we can help. We offer therapy for individuals and couples looking to build their relationship toolkit.
Burnout & Professional Issues
We spend a huge portion of our waking lives at work. So when our professional life isn’t going well, it can take a huge toll on our mental health.
Your therapist can help you manage the symptoms of burnout, build your professional self-care plan, and get unstuck if you’re not sure about your next steps. We can also support you to heal after a workplace trauma like harassment, discrimination, or abuse.
Trauma
When you’ve been through a painful experience, you just want to move on with your life. But trauma often makes that feel impossible.
Stella Nova offers evidence-based approaches like DBT and Somatic Therapy that can help. You’ll learn tools to cope with triggers and symptoms in your daily life. And more importantly, you’ll learn how to heal the trauma response itself.
Inclusive, Intersectional Support
We are enthusiastic about supporting the mental health needs of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. And we strive to be a space where you can show up as your whole, authentic self, because that’s where healing can happen.
At Stella Nova, we specialize in inclusive, intersectional support for a wide variety of common mental health issues and challenges.
Therapy should be tailored to you.
When you first meet your Stella Nova therapist, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask about your goals, your story, your strengths and challenges. Together, we’ll develop a plan for how we can work together.
Great therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Stella Nova, we know how important it is to connect with a therapist who is a stellar fit for your needs and preferences.
Our therapists can work in a variety of different ways. For example, at times we might be more active and directive. At other times, we might step back and let you lead the way. And we’re always open to feedback about what works and doesn’t work for you.

We know, therapy feels kind of weird at first.
Talking to a stranger about private or painful parts of your life seems somewhere between awkward and impossible. It’s totally normal to have mixed feelings about meeting with a new therapist.
But we think you’ll find it’s worth pushing through some discomfort to get to the other side.
So consider this an invitation to get out of your comfort zone. At Stella Nova, we promise to do our best to take great care of you as you’re getting started.
Effective, Online Therapy Throughout California
The first step to get connected with a therapist is to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation with our Intake Coordinator, Cami.
She’ll ask a few questions to learn more about what you’re looking for, answer any questions you have about therapy or our clinic, and help you match with someone fantastic.
We’re a small, boutique practice, which means that Cami knows each of us personally, and can recommend someone who will be a great fit for you. Sessions start at $150 an hour, and we also offer affordable group therapy options.
There’s absolutely no obligation or pressure — if we’re not a great match, we’ll make some recommendations to help you connect with someone who is.
