El Caris Camarillo-Gibbs is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). He approaches therapy through relational, person-centered, and narrative lenses, creating a non-judgmental space for self-exploration and healing.

Mandy Kellogg is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree in clinical psychology (somatic psychotherapy concentration) from Antioch University. She provides individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as family therapy. Her therapeutic style is person-centered and draws from attachment theory, family systems, somatic and expressive arts therapies, and is focused on meeting clients where they are at. Mandy believes the relationship she builds with clients acts as a blank canvas upon which new ways of relating to others can be learned and practiced. She also views the therapeutic relationship as a safe container where clients can express, explore, and more fully understand their feelings. She is certified in the evidence-based modality, TBRI-Trust Based Relational Intervention® that was created to treat children and adolescents with a history of trauma by empowering families and caregivers with the relational tools they need to support children from hard places. In addition to assisting clients in their journey of emotionally processing traumatic experiences, Mandy is passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and their families. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community she strives to provide the understanding and care that she and her family know from experience are so important. 

Mandy has experience working with adults presenting with moderate to severe mental health symptoms as well as children, adolescents, and families involved in the child welfare system. Mandy has enjoyed getting to know the uniqueness of each of her clients and the special spaces they hold within their families and communities, assisting them with working towards their goals, improving interpersonal relationships, and strengthening their overall mental wellbeing. Her clinical experience includes treating clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and trauma symptoms. She is supervised by Linda Farhat, LMFT.
