Hello! My name is Laurissa Bustillos and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. The decision to seek therapy is a courageous first step toward change, and I want to acknowledge the strength it takes to begin this journey. If you are struggling with anxiety, weighed down by persistent sadness, or navigating a difficult life transition, you don't have to carry that burden alone. I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be truly seen and heard. In our work together, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to be your supportive guide, helping you connect with your inner wisdom and resilience. I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership, where we will explore what's not working, uncover your unique strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you move toward a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
