"I came in convinced nothing would help my anxiety. Six months later I barely recognize the way I move through the world. This changed everything."
— M.R., Anxiety & Panic
"Dr. Voss doesn't just listen — she hears you. And then she helps you hear yourself. That distinction matters more than I can explain."
— J.T., Life Transitions
"We came into couples therapy as a last resort. A year later we have a language between us we didn't know existed. Worth every minute."

Clinical Philosophy
The belief behind
the method
Science &
Story
Evidence-based methods provide a rigorous map. But your lived experience is the territory. Both must be honored. My approach integrates research-validated techniques with deep attention to the meaning you make of your own life.
Structure &
Freedom
Sessions have direction without being rigid. We work within a framework that adapts to what you bring each week — neither aimless nor scripted. Progress happens when structure creates safety, not stiffness.
Depth &
Practicality
We don't choose between insight and tools. Understanding why something happens matters — and so does having the skills to do something different. Therapy here builds both, simultaneously.
Pace &
Patience
Growth is not linear and healing has its own schedule. I don't rush clients toward an outcome. I trust the process, stay present through the difficulty, and honor wherever you are right now.

Core Values
What we stand for
Safety First
A therapeutic relationship only works when you feel genuinely safe — emotionally, physically, and ethically. This is non-negotiable and actively maintained.
Evidence Over Trend
Treatment modalities are selected based on research efficacy, not popularity. Your care is grounded in peer-reviewed science.
Client-Led Pace
You set the speed. There is no external pressure to perform progress or hit arbitrary milestones. This is your process.
Radical Respect
Cultural humility, anti-racism, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and body neutrality are not add-ons — they are foundational to how this practice operates.
Continuous Growth
Weekly supervision, ongoing training, and peer consultation keep Dr. Voss sharp, current, and honest about the limits of her expertise.
Strict Confidentiality
Everything stays here. HIPAA-compliant systems, clear disclosures, and transparent boundaries around privacy.

Contact Us
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Many clients receive partial reimbursement through their PPO plan. We provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurer directly. We also accept HSA/FSA payment.
How long does therapy take?
This varies significantly by person and presenting concern. Some clients see meaningful change in 12–16 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term work. We discuss goals and timeline together from the start.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule without charge. Late cancellations or no-shows are charged the full session fee. Exceptions are made for genuine emergencies.
Can I do therapy via video?
Yes — telehealth sessions are available for all service types. We use a HIPAA-compliant platform. You must be physically located in California during the session.
Is there a waitlist?
We are currently accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth. Some appointment times fill faster than others. Book a free consultation to check current availability.
