Stephanie Salgado

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Stephanie Salgado, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Women and Teen girls across Los Angeles County and throughout California through online therapy.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving women and teen girls who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and the pressure to always hold everything together. Many of my clients appear successful on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly worried about making mistakes or letting others down.

In our work together, my focus is on helping you slow down, gain clarity, and better understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck in anxiety or self-pressure. Therapy becomes a space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, develop healthier ways of responding to stress, and begin building a stronger sense of confidence and balance in your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with extensive experience working in residential treatment, sober living, and private practice settings since 2010. My career began as an intern in an eating disorder residential program, later expanding into adolescent dual-diagnosis treatment. Alongside completing my doctorate in clinical psychology, I launched my private practice, where I continue to work with clients through Telehealth. Currently, I also work in a sober living facility, supporting adults facing addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious about your current life situation? Do you wonder if you can build a meaningful life, a life worth living? Are you grieving the loss of someone you love, or the loss of something you hoped to achieve? Are you in the middle of a life transition such as graduation, retirement, becoming a parent, or changing professions? I help people in these situations get in touch with what they really want so they can move forward with confidence.

Richard Granstaff

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor (CATC-IV) with over 16 years of experience in behavioral health and substance use treatment. I was certified in 2012 for addiction treatment and licensed in 2022 for mental health. I work with adults navigating substance use and recovery, co-occurring anxiety and depression, and life transitions that impact emotional well-being.

I have particular experience supporting men and members of the LGBTQIA+ community in building sustainable recovery, strengthening emotional resilience, and improving relationship health. My work is grounded in a deep respect for the recovery process and the courage it takes to pursue change. I understand that growth is rarely linear, and I approach each client with patience, steadiness, and practical support.

I provide structured, virtual outpatient therapy for adults managing mild to moderate symptoms who are seeking stability, accountability, and meaningful forward movement. At the heart of my work is a commitment to clarity and care to help clients better understand themselves while feeling respected, supported, and empowered throughout the process.
