Psychotherapists
in California.
We integrate somatic, relational, and depth-oriented approaches to help you move from surviving to flourishing — body, mind, and soul.
Don't Suffer in Silence!
Many people walk through life carrying invisible weight. You deserve genuine support — not just coping strategies.
🌫️
Emotional Numbness
Going through the motions without truly experiencing joy, grief, or connection. A disconnection from your own inner world.
🌪️
Overthinking
Looping thoughts that spiral into worst-case scenarios. Second-guessing every decision, unable to quiet the mind.
🌧️
Depression
Heaviness, withdrawal, and loss of meaning. Depression isn't weakness — it's a signal something deeper needs tending. Healing is possible.
🌸
Eating Disorders
Complex relationships with food, body image, and control. We hold a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach to support full recovery.

Meet the Founder
Joshua — Therapist,
Joshua — Therapist,
Healer, Human.
Joshua is a licensed psychotherapist practicing across California with over a decade of specialized work in trauma, somatic healing, and depth psychology. He founded Bridge Mind Body after witnessing how traditional talk therapy alone often missed the deeper, body-held roots of suffering.
Trained in Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Joshua brings a rare blend of clinical rigor and genuine warmth. His mission is to make truly transformative therapy accessible to those who have tried everything else — and still feel stuck.
Joshua believes that the therapeutic relationship is itself the medicine — and that every person carries the seeds of their own healing, often just waiting for the right conditions to emerge.

Those Who've Healed
Real stories, real transformation. Every person's healing is uniquely their own.
Joshua helped me understand that my anxiety wasn't a character flaw — it was a nervous system response. Somatic work changed everything. For the first time in years, I feel genuinely safe in my own body.
I came in feeling completely numb — like I was watching my life from a distance. IFS parts work helped me reconnect with parts of myself I'd buried for decades. I actually feel alive again.
Brainspotting was unlike anything I'd experienced. Three sessions processed a trauma that a decade of talk therapy had barely touched. Joshua's presence and skill made it feel completely safe.
My relationship with food and my body has completely transformed. The weight-inclusive, non-shaming approach here is rare and extraordinary. I wish I had found this practice years earlier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before taking the first step toward healing.
What makes Bridge Mind Body different from traditional talk therapy?
We go beyond words. While talk therapy builds insight, many people find that understanding the root of a problem doesn't automatically change how they feel. We integrate somatic, experiential, and depth-oriented modalities that work with the nervous system and the unconscious — where lasting change actually lives.
Do you offer teletherapy or only in-person sessions?
We offer both. Teletherapy is available to anyone in California. In-person sessions are offered at our California office. Modalities like Brainspotting and Somatic work translate very well to video — we'll help you find the best format for your needs.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly, but we provide a superbill you can submit for potential PPO reimbursement. Many clients receive partial reimbursement. We also hold a limited number of sliding-scale spots for those who need it.
How many sessions will I need before seeing results?
This varies widely depending on your history, goals, and the nature of what you're working through. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within 4–8 sessions. Deeper trauma work or longer-standing patterns may take more time. We track progress together and adjust — healing isn't linear, but you will feel it moving.
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and is it safe?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) combines legally prescribed, low-dose ketamine with deep psychotherapeutic support. Ketamine creates heightened neuroplasticity — a window where entrenched patterns become more accessible to change. It is conducted in carefully controlled settings with full preparation and integration support. It has an excellent safety profile when administered appropriately.
I've tried therapy before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?
We hear this often — and it's a completely fair concern. Most therapy stays in the realm of cognition and conversation. When trauma, depression, or anxiety is held in the body, talking about it can actually reinforce the pattern rather than resolve it. Our modalities — somatic work, Brainspotting, IFS — operate at deeper levels of the nervous system. Many clients who felt "therapy-resistant" have found profound relief here.
Do you work with couples or only individuals?
Our primary focus is individual therapy. We do offer couples work as a complement to individual healing — particularly when relational patterns and attachment are at the center of what's being addressed. Contact us to discuss whether couples sessions may be a fit for you.
