Whether you're facing difficult life changes, striving for balance, seeking healing from past wounds, or simply looking to deepen your self-awareness, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space allowing for the free exploration of thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I also combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques with compassion and genuine empathy, tailoring my approach to meet and honor your unique needs and life experiences.

My Interests:

Music, the outdoors, traveling, art, cooking, learning new things, spending time with family and friends, and also being a homebody.

My Philosophy:

The space I strive to create is one where people feel truly heard, understood, and deeply respected. I believe healing begins in relationship—and that relationship takes time, trust, and presence.

I build connections slowly and intentionally, with genuine care for each person’s story and the path that brought them to therapy. I approach this work with curiosity, warmth, and a deep respect for the resilience it takes to show up and begin.

Whether you're navigating a new chapter or sifting through long-held pain, my goal is to walk alongside you, holding space that is steady, compassionate, and always centered around your unique experience.

My interests:

Music, Gaming, Exercising, Travelling, Watching TV, spending time with loved ones.

My Philosophy:

I believe we all live within stories—some shaped by experience, some handed down to us, and some waiting to be rewritten. Therapy, to me, is about unpacking those stories and making space for new ones to emerge—stories that feel more honest, more empowering, and more aligned with who we really are.

Sometimes, the stories we carry about ourselves can feel limiting. Other times, our personal narratives are overshadowed by larger cultural or societal messages about who we’re supposed to be, what we should value, or how we should heal. I see therapy as a space to question those influences and re-center the parts of your story that reflect your values, hopes, and preferred identity.

I see myself as a curious companion—a fellow traveler who listens deeply and helps shine a light on the pieces of the story that may have been overlooked or forgotten.

My Philosophy:

I believe we are relational beings and thrive most when we have healthy, loving connection with ourselves and with others. Often, our stories are tangled up with past hurts, current worries, and difficult relational dynamics and we don’t know where to start to make the change we are hoping for. I see my role as supporting you as we untangle it all, helping you gain clarity, calm, and confidence as you move toward a life that feels authentic and joyful.

My Philosophy:

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in compassion and respect for the person you are, exactly as you are right now. Every individual is shaped by their own unique life experiences—both the joys and the struggles—and those experiences have helped make us who we are today. I’m here to come alongside you, to create a safe space, where you can explore and process those experiences in a way that fosters self-compassion, self-awareness, and growth toward your personal goals. Together, we’ll identify the tools and strengths you already possess, build upon them, and create new ones. This collaborative process can empower you to overcome the obstacles in your life and move toward healing.

My Interests:

Camping, backpacking, hiking, yoga, gardening, birding, photopgraphy, singing, social justice, quality time with loved ones, and parenting my two cats.

My Philosophy:

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Just bring yourself. Let’s start from there.

Therapy, to me, is a relationship—a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. Whether you’re sorting through anxiety, feeling stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, grieving something unspoken, or trying to figure out who you are and where you belong, I want you to know you’re not alone here.

I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating the in-between spaces of life—the transitions, the questions, the moments that feel tender or overwhelming. My clients often come to therapy feeling anxious, down, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we slow things down and gently explore what’s beneath the surface. We make space for your emotions, your story, and the parts of you that are ready to heal.

When I work with tweens and teens, I hold their unique experiences with deep respect and care. These are such important years—full of big feelings, shifting identities, and the desire to be both independent and supported. My approach is attuned to building trust at their pace, offering a mix of conversation, creativity, and practical tools. I also support parents and caregivers in understanding their child’s inner world and fostering stronger, more compassionate connections at home.

Areas of Focus:

Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Trauma/PTSD, Grief and Loss, LGBTQ-affirming, BIPOC, Life Transitions, Relationships/Non-Monogamy, Spiritual work, Stress, Men's Issues, OCD, Esteem issues, self worth

I’m LGBTQ+ affirming, BIPOC-centered, and committed to creating a space where all identities are honored and held with care. Whether you’re navigating panic, trauma, loss, spiritual questions, relationship shifts, or just trying to feel more at home in yourself—I’m here to walk alongside you.

Tools I Use:

ACT, existentialism, IFS, CFT, psychodynamic

My Approach:

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real relationship. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic and existential perspectives, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Most importantly, I believe healing happens in the presence of safety, curiosity, and connection.

My Interests:

Outside of sessions, I’m often moving my body through volleyball or pickleball, reflecting through journaling, or slowing down with a good book or board game. These are the things that keep me grounded and connected—and I hope therapy can become that for you, too.

My Philosophy

I believe in creating a space that is both warm and nurturing, yet firm and grounded—honoring your unique experiences while providing the support needed for meaningful growth. I approach therapy with deep compassion, meeting you where you are while gently challenging patterns that may be holding you back. My goal is to empower you to explore your thoughts and emotions with honesty, without fear of judgment, and to help you cultivate the resilience and self-trust needed to navigate life’s roadblocks. Your journey is yours alone, and I am here as a witness, guide, and unwavering ally in your process of self-discovery and healing.

I love an early morning hot yoga class, followed by lounging on the porch with my dog and a cup of coffee. Being in nature, exploring new hiking trails, playing cards at a brewery, and camping with my wife are some of the things that fill my cup!

My Philosophy -

Whether you’re taking the first steps of your journey or continuing along a path you’ve already begun, I’d be honored to join you and help create a sense of safety in the areas of life that matter most to you. My goal isn’t to walk in front of you or behind you, but to walk beside you.

I know therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re worried about not being fully seen or understood. That’s why I’m committed to meeting you where you are—with curiosity, humility, empathy, creativity, and unconditional positive regard. Together, we’ll define what this space looks like, so therapy feels inclusive, affirming, and safe.

While everyone’s process is unique, one thing always stands out to me: we already carry so much within ourselves. My role is to support you in uncovering and nurturing that inner strength as you move toward growth and healing.

My Style -

Human Centered, Trauma informed, Warm, Kind Compassionate, Relational, Collaborative and Compassionate, Somatic Psychology, Direct, Narrative, Creative

My Interests -

One of my main interests is exploring and learning about new things. For me, that looks like partaking in hobbies with my loved ones or trying new cuisines and entertainment of various cultures. One of my goals in life is to attend a concert of as many existing genres as I can, I don't believe in language being a barrier to that. When I'm not exploring, I embrace being a homebody (ex: binging tv shows, watching all my favorite sports teams, making art, playing video games) and I equally embrace being outdoors (ex: going on a nature walk, playing my favorite sports, etc.).

My Philosophy -

My practice is rooted in non-judgmental warmth, deep listening, and a genuine belief in your capacity for growth and healing. In a supportive and compassionate space, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with your strengths and inner wisdom. You are a gift, and it would be my honor to walk alongside you. Let’s bring more joy and fulfillment into your life.

My Philosophy -

I approach this work with deep curiosity, hope, and respect for what lies beneath the surface - all humans have a story worth telling. Life's challenges that inevitably catch us off guard shape us all in unique and often hidden ways. Sometimes, the walls we build around ourselves for protection ultimately hold us back, no longer serving their purpose. Together, we can explore those barriers, honor the reasons they’re there, and create space for healing and growth. There is already incredible potential within you. I welcome you to reach out and take the next brave step.

My Interests -

Outside the therapy room you can find me seeking adventure or relaxation with family, reading (95% chance it's by Dan Siegel or Barbara Kingsolver), soaking in sunshine, or spending way too much time in the kitchen.

My Philosophy:

It is a joy working with families and individuals of all ages in order to overcome obstacles and strengthen relationships. With a trauma-informed lens and cultural humility, I provide a warm, validating presence, I will work beside you with genuine support and care for the beautiful person you are already.

Therapy can be a difficult labor, but I aspire to bring humor and levity through connection and honesty. We can be a team!

You are the expert on you and your life! I am a fellow traveler of this journey and will walk beside you as we find out more about who you are, where you want to go, and how to navigate the winding paths.

My Interests:

I will read just about anything; am a huge lover of books and snacks (Cheetos, mainly!). Surfer, runner, long walker, and lifelong learner of cooking.
I am a sister, a daughter, and a friend.
Have infinite love for any and all animals, especially the furriest kinds. I dream of adopting animals in their later years.

My Philosophy:

Deciding which aspects of your life are true, beautiful, and important to you—and which are not—isn't always easy. I hope to meet you at the intersection of discovering and building upon what matters, while letting go of what doesn’t. I'll support you until you feel safe and ready to explore what you carry on your life’s journey. My singular goal is to collaborate with you, using both talk and art therapy - all to help you feel safe, heard, validated, and empowered to lead a life that brings you joy.

Don’t be intimidated by the word ‘art’! Whether you are comfortable, curious, or hesitant about creative expression, my approach prioritizes self-exploration, focusing on the process rather than the product. Clinically trained and trauma informed, I use art as a communication tool, integrating it at a pace and in a way that feels right for you, whether it’s an elaborate piece, or a simple scribble. Research shows that all art is powerful in healing and can be effectively used to navigate trauma, relationship dynamics, stress and burnout, life changes, identity exploration, hard emotions, or just being present with yourself in a world of noise. In our time together, my hope is that we are able to explore the many beautiful, scary, and hard layers that we as humans hold. You will likely find me in the therapeutic space wearing overalls and doodling alongside you, as we work through to identify and rebuild what feels like your most authentic self and life.

My Interests:

Running, going to the gym, playing pickleball, and just any type of movement is probably the closest I’ll get to meditation. I’m usually in the middle of multiple books at once. I am also in the middle of multiple art projects at once. I love to bake, but more importantly, I love to eat. I love to sit in the sun and watch my dog chase lizards. My favorite way to decompress at the end of the day is the big screen (tv), medium screen (computer), and little screen (phone) method.

My Philosophy:

I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but returning to yourself. My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in somatic practices, creating a nurturing space where individuals can reconnect with their innate wisdom. With children and teens, I blend play therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, and creative arts. With adults, I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic practices, and compassionate, body-based approaches. Polyvagal Theory shapes my work, helping clients view their emotional responses and nervous system reactions not as problems to be fixed, but as expressions of deep wisdom. I work with diverse communities, including LGBTQIA2S+ youth, neurodivergent individuals, and those navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Healing unfolds in relationships, in spaces where one can show up as their full self, met with warmth, compassion, and care, creating the conditions for recovering a sense of wholeness. I trust in the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right support, one that honors difference, embraces complexity, and moves at the speed of safety.

My Philosophy:

Now more than ever, taking care of your mental health is of the utmost importance.We face so many challenges from the smallest of inconveniences to life altering events. Most of us have had to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and over time, most of us are figuring out that this is not sustainable. Maybe you are new to therapy, or maybe this isn’t your first rodeo and you are ready for a change in perspective. My hope is by working together, we can collaborate on goals that feel obtainable for you. Coping skills, mindfulness, self awareness, learning to set boundaries, exploration into harmful patterns and behaviors are all valuable skills to learn and utilize in our everyday life. I would like to help you learn and practice these skills by building a strong therapeutic relationship that feels safe, supportive and collaborative.

From Dr. Brian S. Taylor’s Perspective:

“As a physician for over 30 years, I am dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering. Whether dealing with medical conditions or psychiatric syndromes, and in many cases, both, or interpersonal and intrapsychic conflict, your wellness is my primary concern. Patients want to be heard and understood, and I want to hear and understand my patients. Taking the time to perform a thorough psychiatric evaluation, discussing clinical impressions and making sure you understand all of your treatment options is how we begin. Together, we then work toward restoring your mental health, overall functioning and peace of mind.”

As a Board-Certified psychiatrist, Dr. Taylor provides care to both adults and adolescents ages 15 and older, who desire evaluation and treatment of their mental health issue(s) regardless of complexity. For over two decades, while working with the public sector, he has treated our most seriously and persistently mentally ill populations of the Bay Area and Southern California. Formerly with VCBH, Dr. Taylor delivered care, Dr. Taylor has delivered care to geriatric, forensic, addiction, crisis residential and long-term rehabilitation specialty populations.

Practicing general adult psychiatry, Dr. Taylor is experienced in treating all psychiatric disorders including major depression, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulse control disorders, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, neurocognitive disorders, ADHD, sleep disorders, personality disorders and substance use disorders. Office-Based Opioid Treatment (Suboxone) is also offered for those requiring medication-assisted treatment for Opioid Use Disorder. In-office Spravato (intranasal esketamine) administration is also being offered for treatment-resistant depression or MDD with suicidal ideation/behavior.

He offers a complete psychiatric evaluation, including psychosocial assessment, discusses his clinical impressions with you, provides education about mental health syndromes, and makes recommendations for you based on current, evidence-based practice guidelines. Equally important, the risks and benefits of treatment, as well as the risks of not treating are also discussed. Psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic strategies are tailored to meet your needs and relieve the distressing symptoms impacting your well-being. One-time consultations and second-opinion evaluations from a referring provider are also welcomed.

From Fernando’s Perspective:

My journey into the mental health field was sparked by witnessing loved ones grapple with their own mental health challenges. I quickly realized the profound impact that simple acts of listening and kindness could have on their well-being. However, I also recognized that there were times when professional intervention was necessary. I aspired to be that source of support for people when a friendly ear alone wasn't sufficient.

Initially, I worked as a talk therapist for several years. During that time, I often received feedback from clients about negative experiences they had with their psychiatric prescribers, which discouraged them from continuing the psychiatric treatment they needed. This insight motivated me to shift my focus and pursue further training in psychiatric medication management.

It's not uncommon for people seeking mental health services, especially medication management, to feel apprehensive initially. My goal is to provide clear information and open communication throughout this process, so that we can collaborate effectively. 

I would like to emphasize my experience working with diverse populations and highlight my commitment to providing a nonjudgmental and inclusive environment for all clients. This includes individuals from multicultural backgrounds (se habla español), LGBTQI+ communities, neurodivergent individuals, sex workers, and those in consensual non-traditional relationships (e.g., polyamory, open relationships, and individuals with asexual or aromantic identities).

BIO:

My name is Ruby Fox, from Ventura, California where I live with my husband and our 2 young boys. 

For the longest time in my young-adult years I struggled to find my calling. I worked every odd job you can think of, started different programs I thought I loved and even received my Certificate for Interior Decorating, but the passion just wasn’t there.

After an 18 year battle with Endometriosis and having my 2 miracle boys, I had a life-altering surgery in 2020 which came with a pretty intense recovery. I had to get creative with how I could be active and re-discovered yoga, which ultimately re-connected me with my true self. I knew I needed to share the gift of yoga with anyone who would let me and started my training within a month or so.

I first became a Yoga Teacher in 2022, after completing my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, and have been teaching yoga and guided meditation ever since. Through yoga, I found Sound Healing and realized sound has always been something that was therapeutic to me. Since I was a child, music was always in the background, wind chimes were everywhere and the sound of water soothed my soul. As I got older and started to really want to learn more about sound therapy and the actual science behind what sound waves/frequencies do to our entire being. 

Once again, I felt to my core, this was something I needed to share with people. I receive my Sound Therapy & Sound Healing Training in 2023 and the shift began. I was already established in a Yoga studio where I was able to start showcasing sound as I searched for different opportunities to share it. Little did I know, my neighbor owned this beautiful practice and in January of 2025, asked if I would come in and share sound with her community within VTC. I was thrilled and started weekly Sound Baths shortly thereafter.

I still teach yoga upon request/private sessions, as I believe in the power both physically and mentally it can bring anyone. However, my main focus is on Sound and Chakra Healing. My Sound Baths include sound from crystal sound bowls, koshi chimes, gong and rain stick. 

Most recently, this year (2025) I completed my Crystal & Chakra Healing Certificate and I am so excited to implement those tools into the Sound Bath experience. Energy is everything and all too often, our energy is knocked off balance. The experiences I offer will help recalibrate your energy and help you to feel an overall sense of peace, mindfulness, gratitude and sense of self. 

I strive to hold space for anyone and everyone, no matter your background, orientation or beliefs. Space that is non-judgmental, open, and full of love and light, in hopes of helping you heal, find yourself or even just to simply relax. I believe we all have beautiful Divine white light within us that we can tap into for ourselves, or to shine on those around us. I am here to help you find your light from within.

Welcome! I'm Toni Ferro, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in supporting women through life's challenges, particularly around transitions, postpartum experiences, and family and relationship difficulties. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I work with women at various life stages to navigate personal growth, reclaim their sense of self, and cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others.

My Approach

In our work together, you will find a safe, open space where you can process your emotions, explore your deepest concerns, and work toward becoming your most authentic and autonomous self. Life transitions, whether it’s a shift in career, family dynamics, or changes in your personal identity, can feel overwhelming and isolating. I am here to help you find clarity, resilience, and empowerment, no matter where you are in your journey.

As someone who specializes in the postpartum period, I understand the unique challenges that new mothers face. Whether it's navigating the emotional complexities of motherhood, adjusting to changes in your marriage or family, or managing feelings of identity loss, I am committed to helping you embrace this transformative stage with confidence and support.

Clinical Supervision

In addition to my therapeutic work with clients, I also provide clinical supervision for other mental health professionals. I support clinicians in developing their skills, fostering professional growth, and offering guidance as they navigate the complexities of their own therapeutic practices. My supervision style is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in a deep respect for the work that mental health professionals do to help others.

My Commitment to You

Whether you're seeking therapy for personal growth, to navigate a challenging life stage, or for support with family and relational issues, I am dedicated to providing a warm, empathetic environment where you can process, heal, and grow. I believe in the power of self-discovery, and my goal is to help you access your inner strength and wisdom, so you can live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

If you're ready to explore your journey and begin the path toward greater self-awareness and balance, I invite you to reach out and begin the conversation. Together, we can create a roadmap for lasting change and healing.
