Alexander Frenkel

Therapist

Virtual • California


In my studies at Antioch, I have specialized in Spiritual and Depth Psychology with CBT, DBT, Humanistic-Existential, Client-Centered, Gestalt Theories, Mindfulness, and based on my past experiences have developed a passion for working with a variety of diverse population from 12 years old children and their families to elder adults. I also took courses on World Religions and Women Role in Religion at CSUN, studied in Rabbinical School (AISH Ha’Torah) in Jerusalem, with Buddhist Guru in Nepal and a Hindu Guru in India with knowledge of Vedic (Vedantic), Hindu, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Tradition.

For over 15 years being on spiritual path and self-discovery journey, I became a Spiritual Guide, Reiki Master, and a Minister. Lead Spiritual Retreats and trainings around the world, including, India, Nepal, Tibet, Russia, Ukraine. This experience prepared me to work with people from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures.

Worked with a vast variety of symptoms and problems providing needed support to my clients suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem. All of these issues and symptoms have a point to make for us to understand our selves better. Working with adolescents in Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Youth Living Programs, adult and veterans of all ages, there is one common denominator - if you want your life to be better, we can find your individual path and you might become your own Master. We'll apply, or challenge, your believe system, to make positive changes.

I help my clients resolve their problems, learn coping skills, and set their spiritual and/or religious path. Increasing client's understanding of self and accepting life with all the pluses and minuses, learning from the past without the judgment might be a difficult goal to achieve.

Greetings! My name is Leslie Bartholomew and I am excited to get to know you and help support your road to healing and change. Although I have achieved licensure fairly recently, I have about 14 years of therapeutic experience in a vast array of populations (individuals, teens, children, young adults, couples, foster youth, unaccompanied minors and migrant families). My passion derives from providing a safe and accepting environment to prepare clients to undergo healing and achieve a full and balanced life. I particularly enjoy giving back to the Latino community which I am a part of and an advocate for equality and a world free from discrimination and abundance of acceptance. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered to reach your personal goals.

Antonio Fidler-Woodard

Therapist

Virtual • California


Not accepting couples... fully accepting you! I work exclusively with adults in individual therapy.

If you’ve been deep in the therapist scroll spiral, pause. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, welcome.

Wondering why you feel overwhelmed all the time? Why you can't stop worrying about everything? Or why you get so frustrated over small things? Let's talk about it. You don’t have to do it all alone. I work with adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnoses, men’s issues, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting first responders, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, student-athletes, and individuals exploring open or non-monogamous relationships.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, you're not broken - and you’re not too much. Life can hit hard, and therapy can offer the space to slow down, be real, and reconnect with your strength.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health, as well as a degree in criminology. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective.

Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to move forward.
