    Meet the Team

    Hi, I’m Riley! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#124044) who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I attended UCLA, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Developmental Psychology and English. I then went on to Pepperdine University, where I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the early childcare and education field. I am passionate about working with young people, giving them the tools to succeed and live a fulfilled life. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for all anxiety-related disorders. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, walking my dog on the beach, and reading. If you have any questions regarding my experience, feel free to reach out. I look forward to getting to know you better in our work together!

    Madeline Park

    Hi, I’m Madeline! With deep reverence for the human experience, I approach therapy as a compassionate and collaborative space for growth, healing, and self-discovery. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families of all backgrounds and identities, believing each child deserves care that honors their individual strengths and lived experiences. I earned my undergraduate degree from New York University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University in Santa Barbara in 2024. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in photography production, over time feeling a clear calling to weave my creative instincts with my natural care for others. I bring three years of experience working with children ages 5–12 at a local elementary school. My work is grounded in a strengths-based, holistic approach, incorporating somatic techniques and evidence-based practices. I love tailoring sessions to each individual by integrating art, play, music, or nature. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for anxiety-related disorders including OCD and phobias, and grief tending is also close to my heart. My therapy dog is often present in sessions, offering comfort and grounding. I am currently a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #152043) under the supervision of Riley Ellis, LMFT #124044
