learn about OUR THERAPISTS | San Bernardino, CALIFORNIA
We’re on a mission to help you change your life (and the culture of mental health along with it).
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide authentic, curated, and innovative mental health care and training for the benefit of underrepresented, non-traditional, and contemporary groups. We aim to be the architects of new practices in the culture, community, and profession of mental health care.
We’re not your traditional therapists.
Each person at Culture of Therapy knows something special about mental health:
How to be an advocate, an educator, a therapist to a specific population, or lived experience. There are no “jack-of-all-trades” therapists here. We don’t know how to treat every person and can’t possibly provide every service, and we’re proud of that.
Everything we do, teach, and provide is focused on championing overlooked and marginalized groups, helping them get the respect they deserve in and out of the therapy room. Each provider has spent 90% of their professional career, working with underrepresented, underappreciated, or stigmatized populations.
A commitment to diversity
We are aligned with finding diversity and difference because we believe that is what makes people whole. Our services are designed with a lens of inclusivity, flexibility, and multiculturalism, to accentuate diversity so we can meet the changing needs of the population.
Every day, we’re dynamically redefining conversations about wellness and embracing new pathways of honoring mental health.

Who we serve
The women who share their stories with us often describe themselves as high performing, strong, intelligent, and decisive.
They’re seemingly non-traditional, unorthodox, BIPOC folks of color who wants to build their emotional wellbeing, generational health and wealth, and sculpt their professional lives around abundance and meaning.
They are often mothers, professional women, caregivers, educators, or helping professionals, spending their days putting others’ needs before their own. They’ve decided to seek out therapy because they want to do more in their own service, so they can give back to the world in significant and meaningful ways.
We offer them a place where they can set down all of their other responsibilities and invest in themselves.
What is
Concierge therapy?
We understand that life is already busy—therapy shouldn’t add to that. Our practice is available via phone, text, or email to answer questions, verify benefits, and make going to therapy the easiest part of your day. Your therapist will also summarize sessions and provide you with materials so you can easily begin applying what you learned to day-to-day life.
we want you to know…
Asking for help is a sign of strength.
You’re tired of saying “yes” when you’d rather say “no,” of second-guessing yourself and constantly questioning your worth (spoiler alert: you ARE worthy—no changes necessary). You want to feel like you can trust yourself, to no longer let the opinions of other people determine what you do and how you feel.
The fact is, no one can do it all.
Your tenacity has served you well in so many areas of your life, and our team understands as well as anyone that innate drive to perform, create, and invest in others. But nothing in nature works 24 hours a day—why should you?
This is a place to shed the narratives and cycles from your past that are no longer serving you, to free yourself of the guilt or shame that’s keeping you stuck, and to gain the insight + action you need to fall back in love with your self and your life.
Our Guiding Principles
Here’s what we believe about therapy:
-
All of our providers maintain a caseload of culturally diverse clients. It is a privilege to serve clients who would share with us experiences that differ from our own, so we can experience the fullness of life. Though diverse, there is a common humanity we aim to find amongst every individual we serve.
-
We are comfortable talking about the issues of race, ethnicity, privilege, sexuality, finances, motherhood, death, trauma, and more. We have done our inner work to heal personally, so we can normalize these topics and create a culture of safety around them.
-
Each of our providers has general training in depression and anxiety, as they are two of the most common issues we see. In addition, we all acquire additional training and continuing education to treat a special population, such as women, sexual trauma, or multiculturalism.
Creating space for change.
Curiosity
Approaching your experiences with curiosity, rather than criticism.
Trust
The ability to trust us, your own innate wisdom, and the therapy process.
Affirmation
Affirming the parts of you that need more representation in the world.
Consistency
Change takes time and effort. This is an investment in your long-game.
