Getting Started is Simple


  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common therapy that helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked, so changing thoughts can improve emotions and behavior.

    CBT helps with anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD. It teaches practical skills to challenge irrational beliefs, handle strong emotions, and build healthier ways to cope.

  • EFT focuses on how early attachment shapes emotions and relationships. It helps people who struggle with forming healthy bonds, fear abandonment, or carry childhood trauma. By examining past attachments and how they affect current behavior, clients gain self-awareness and healthier connections. Attachment-based therapy provides a caring, safe space to heal relational wounds and build trust in themselves and others.

  • EFT Tapping is a somatic-informed technique that supports emotional regulation by engaging the body’s natural calming response. Through gentle tapping and guided awareness, clients learn to reduce stress, process difficult emotions, and build resilience over time.

  • DBT is a practical, research-supported method that helps you manage strong emotions, handle relationships better, and cope with stress without falling apart. It combines acceptance and change, teaching simple skills in mindfulness, tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and communicating clearly—so you feel calmer, steadier, and more in control.

Evidence-Based Therapy. Real Connection.


I have tried therapy several times and never really found a therapist I connected well with and ended up quitting. I tried again and was connected with Lynzie, and this is the longest I have stuck with therapy in my life. She offers a casual, non-judgemental space for me to talk through whatever is on my heart and mind (kids of varying ages, career, marriage…). She offers practical and useful tools that I use daily to cope with anxiety and other things. We end each therapy session with a guided meditation, which allows me rejoin my family/life feeling calm and grounded. I’m very grateful ❤️.”

Meet the Therapist at Conscious Connections Therapy

Our Approach. Client-Centered, Collaborative, Connection

Our licensed clinicians and supervised Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASWs) bring extensive experience supporting adults, young adults, teens, and parents through meaningful emotional and relational challenges.

Hello, my name is Kimberly Robertson, and I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I bring experience from my work in child welfare and social services, where I supported youth, families, and communities through complex and often overwhelming circumstances. These experiences taught me the power of compassion, resilience, and the importance of meeting each person exactly where they are.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I value creating an inclusive, supportive space for clients from diverse backgrounds. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection.

I am especially passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families, and I integrate approaches such as trauma-informed care, restorative practices, and social-emotional skill-building.

Outside of work, I am a wife and mother, and I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing personal and professional life. I bring this empathy into my practice, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Brigetta Alexander an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) passionate about supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges with compassion and empathy, cultural awareness, and a trauma-informed approach. I bring experience from a variety of clinical settings, including outpatient mental health, foster care, transitional housing, community-based programs, and corrections. I have provided services to children, teens, and adults navigating complex emotional, social, and systemic barriers.

My practice is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I have supported clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family challenges. I’ve also worked alongside those involved in the foster care and justice systems, offering therapeutic support to help them navigate complex circumstances and build toward stability and healing.

Whether helping clients work through anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, or life transitions, I understand that healing looks different for everyone, and I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered, regardless of where they are in their journey. Healing happens in relationships and in environments that foster trust and dignity.

Outside of my clinical work, I believe in the power of balance and self-care. You’ll often find me at the gym, watching movies, cheering on my favorite sports teams, or spending quality time with my family. I believe that taking care of ourselves, mind, body, and soul, is essential not just for therapists but for everyone.

Like many of you, I wear a lot of hats. I’m a mom, wife, sister, breast cancer survivor, and someone who believes deeply that healing starts with connection. I’ve worked in social work for more than a decade—beginning in child protective services, then transitioning into school social work after having my son. Two years ago, I opened my private practice, and today I’m building CCT into a group practice that reflects the heart of what I value most: real, warm, human support for clients and families.

Connection has always been my anchor. My mom passed away before I could remember her, and it was the love of my grandma, the steady, soul-deep support of my sister, and the (slightly overprotective 😂) presence of my brother that shaped who I am.

Years later, I met the best guy ❤️—now my husband—and together we’re raising Paxton and Willow. When our kids were just 2 and 4, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer. It was my worst fear come to life. What carried me through it was my people—my army. The connections I’d built over my lifetime showed up with love, food, presence, humor, and hope. Their care saved me.

That experience deepened my belief in the power of relationships—how transformative it is to feel seen, supported, and held through life’s hardest moments. It’s the foundation of Conscious Connections Therapy.

Today, my work centers on supporting and supervising our Associate Social Workers as they provide meaningful, compassionate care to the teens, adults, and families we serve across California. My role is to guide, mentor, and nurture our team so they can show up fully for the clients who trust us with their stories.

CCT is my vision come to life: a place where clients feel understood, where therapists feel supported, and where connection leads the way.

Hi, I’m Lynzie Genel, LCSW, founder of Conscious Connections Therapy
