Elevé Therapy & Co is based in San Diego and offers online therapy to clients throughout California – from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Sacramento and everywhere in between.

ABOUT US

Therapy happens over secure video, so there's no commute, no waiting room, no lost afternoon.

We work with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and the quiet exhaustion of always being the one who holds it together. If you've read the books, tried the apps, and still feel like peace is out of reach, this is where that pattern gets a closer look.

Therapy For Women In California

At Elevé Therapy & Co, it is a privilege to support women. We’re passionate about helping women connect with their strengths while questioning the cultural and societal expectations that shape how we believe we’re supposed to live. Women are often expected to succeed professionally, nurture relationships, care for their minds and bodies, and continue growing—all while carrying much of the mental and emotional load for those around them.

We often work with women who are dependable to everyone else but exhausted themselves. They may be navigating shifting expectations around career, body image, relationships, or motherhood; managing other people’s feelings and perceptions; or feeling somehow “behind” despite accomplishing more than generations before them. When you’re used to holding everything together, even admitting you’re burned out can feel like failure.

Therapy creates space to consider what you actually want. We help women trust themselves, make choices based on their values and needs, separate worth from productivity, and pursue meaningful lives without continually sacrificing themselves in the process.

Choosing where – and how – you get support matters. Here's what online therapy through Elevé looks like across California:

Why Choose Online Therapy In California?

Statewide access, one therapist.

Whether you're in San Diego, Los Angeles, or the Bay Area, you get the same licensed California therapist and consistent care, without being limited to who's local to you.

Evidence-based, not generic.

Sessions draw on CBT, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and self-compassion-based work, layered with a humanistic, relationship-focused style – so you get practical tools and a deeper understanding of what's driving the pattern, not just how to manage it.  Learn more about our approach.

No commute, no waiting room.

Sessions happen over secure video from wherever you are, which means less friction and more consistency – especially on the weeks you need it most.

In-network with major plans.

Many clients pay a standard copay rather than an out-of-pocket rate.

Same-week consultations.

You don't have to wait weeks to get started or to know if it's the right fit.

FAQs

To receive online therapy in California, you’ll need to be physically located in California at the time of your session. I am also licensed in New York and can provide virtual therapy to clients located there.


No – Elevé is telehealth-only in both California and New York, which means the same therapist and the same quality of care are available no matter where you live in either state.

Online therapy gives you access to the same licensed therapist no matter where you are in California, without losing time to a commute or being limited to who's local to you. For many clients, it also makes it easier to open up – you're in a space that's already comfortable, on a schedule that actually fits your week.

Telehealth offers flexibility, convenience, and access to specialized care without the need to commute. Many clients find it easier to speak openly from their own space. We provide telehealth services to clients residing anywhere in California.

Start with a free consultation. We'll talk through what you're looking for – whether that's support with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or the pressure of a high-achieving life – and make sure Elevé is the right fit before you commit to ongoing sessions.

Ultimately, therapy requires your active participation. Before starting treatment, spend some time truly reflecting on your goals. Think about what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past. Try to be as honest and open as you can be with your therapist- even if it feels challenging. Remember that your therapist is fully here to support you. Aim to be consistent with showing up and doing any work between sessions. Practicing the skills you learn is important for reinforcing behavioral changes. Finally, if something isn’t working- or you didn’t like something your therapist said- let your therapist know. They care about providing you with treatment that best aligns with your needs and comfort. 

Ambition doesn’t need to come at the expense of your well-being.
