About

I have almost 20 years of experience helping adults with anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns, addiction, career and academic issues, health and lifestyle issues, and relationships. I collaborate with patients to understand the reason and scope of symptoms about what brings them to therapy and their lifestyle, culture, social relationships, and barriers to their fulfillment. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and evolutionary psychology. In my free time, I enjoy trail running, my friend’s dogs (since I don’t have one yet), philosophy, art, music, and meditation.

About

I foster strong and collaborative relationships in therapy. You will find a real person in me: genuine in our interactions, caring, nonjudgmental, and encouraging.

I help with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also help students with relationship concerns, stress management, self-esteem, family difficulties, identity and diversity issues, life transitions, academic concerns, and learning disabilities.

About

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a focus on the process of therapy. My approach is patient-centered, holistic, and insight-oriented, knowing that the mind and body are intertwined. I incorporate an eclectic mix of cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies and mindfulness.

In my free time, I teach yoga and enjoy hanging out with my loved ones, friends, plants, cat, Moana, and large puppy, Mando. Getting out in nature is one of my favorite pastimes – but I won’t say no to a good Netflix binge either – it’s all about balance!

Therapeutic Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

About

I am a psychiatrist treating anxiety, mood disorders, and suicidality. In addition to medication management, I use cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. My journey to the West Coast started after finishing medical school in Ankara, Turkey, in 2010. I completed my residency in psychiatry at Mayo Clinic. At Mayo Clinic, I researched quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) methods and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate the neurophysiological markers of suicidality in adolescents and develop novel interventions to prevent suicide in this age group. My research has been published in more than 20 peer-reviewed articles, and I have given national and international presentations on my research work.

I use a holistic, patient-centered approach to understand my patient’s lived experiences and support them. We will work together using cognitive restructuring tools, psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused interventions to help you achieve your goals. Through positive and negative life experiences, we develop awareness and resiliency that can sometimes be challenging to tap into.

About

Hello! My name is Jessica Preciado, and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

he/him/his | #PMHNP-BC95010503

Areas of Focus

Medication Management, LGBTQIA+

Therapeutic Approach

Supportive, Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Trauma Informed

About

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who provides psychiatric diagnostic evaluations and medication management. Originally from Tennessee but culturally identifying as a Californian, I blend my Southern hospitality, West Coast inclusivity, and home-grown empathy to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free atmosphere. I use a flexible, modern biopsychosocial approach to authentically connect with people to fully understand their unique selves, journeys, struggles, and goals. We will collaboratively develop a holistic, whole-person wellness plan tailored to your individualized needs and goals.

Unlike the old-school authoritarian model of psychiatry, I will share information about risks, benefits, preferences, and values in exploring different options and finding what best makes sense for you. If medications are part of our plan, it will be guided by science and evidence-based practice, combining my knowledge and experience in neurobiology and psychopharmacology.

I enjoy spending quality time with my family, including our Boston Terriers, Lilo and Stitch, the beach, traveling, sports (disclaimer: despite my newfound identity, I do not claim any West Coast team – go Titans!), Lego (this is my newest hobby! Ask me about the therapeutic benefits), and true to my multicultural roots, good food from coast to coast.

Katie Cruz

I help with anxiety, family conflict, first-generation student challenges, identity and self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. In our sessions, I take a strengths-based approach because I believe you know your life better than anyone else. We’ll explore techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, and I will serve as a support guide, emphasizing your inherent strengths and talents you naturally possess to help you face challenges and grow. Together, we will work toward overcoming difficulties and making meaningful, positive shifts in your life. 

Beyond being a therapist, I am an avid reader, museum enthusiast, yoga practitioner, and amateur ceramics maker. As a Santa Barbara native, it is in my nature to love walking on the beautiful beaches and mountains. My downtime is best spent with my family and friends and attempting to perfect a yummy charcuterie board.
