SALLY DEL VECCHIO LMFT CA #144478 & NV #4745-R
CLINICAL SUPERVISOR & BUSINESS INTEGRATOR
My name is Sally Del Vecchio. I am a Clinical Supervisor & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of California and Nevada.
I hold a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I have worked with many different individuals, families, couples, and children. I have experience working with clients who have ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, OCD, PTSD, Self-Esteem issues, Social Anxiety, Trauma, Relationship Issues, and family of origin issues.
I believe that together in a therapeutic setting, you can learn to embrace and explore many different parts of your life that can be uncomfortable or cause distress. By leaning into these often uncomfortable areas, you also open yourself up to new solutions, new ideas, and a fuller, more alive experience.
It would be a pleasure to join you on your journey of improving your life, relationships, and overall well-being. I use a gentle, strength-based, collaborative approach to help you build insight and self-awareness and find meaning and solutions to your life’s journey. My goal is to help you create your fullest life; however, you choose to define it.
In therapy, I always say to my clients… "Take what you need and leave what you don't."

SARAH HOLCOMB AMFT #148364
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with over six years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, child welfare involvement, and complex life transitions. My background includes extensive work with foster youth, reunification services, and individuals experiencing PTSD, disrupted attachment, and emotional distress. I specialize in working with older children and teens, beginning at age eight, and I am particularly passionate about supporting clients with ADHD, postpartum challenges, trauma histories, and blended family dynamics. As both a step-parent and adoptive parent, I bring a unique, lived understanding of diverse family systems and thoughtfully incorporate appropriate self-disclosure to foster connection, authenticity, and trust in the therapeutic relationship.
My approach to therapy is warm, relaxed, and down-to-earth, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves while doing meaningful work. I integrate experiential therapy with CBT and DBT-informed practices, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs. A central part of my work, and something deeply meaningful to me, is equine-assisted psychotherapy, which offers a powerful, evidence-supported, hands-on approach for healing trauma, building emotional regulation, and improving connection. I also incorporate the presence of therapy animals in sessions when appropriate, further enhancing engagement and comfort. I strive to meet clients where they are, offering a collaborative and compassionate environment that supports growth, resilience, and lasting change.

JOSEPH MANNING-DODD AMFT #155592 & APCC #19345
My name is Joseph Manning. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist as well as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles.
After being what I now call an “industrial strength best friend” for many years, and after being told countless times that I should be a therapist, I finally took that advice to heart. I bring a feeling of safety into the therapy room, which allows clients to discuss anything that troubles them without fear of judgment or comparison. I’ve worked successfully with clients from first grade into post-retirement. I welcome individuals, couples, families, and groups.
I am a helper. While I can’t do the work for a client, I do my best to make a space in which the work unfolds naturally and at the client’s pace. My hope is that the hardest part of any client’s journey with me is finding the courage to begin the work. When our working relationship is established, we can analyze events of the past, the present, or the future, and find the connections that nurture the understanding and confidence necessary to achieve a client’s goals. Together, we can address anxiety, depression, trauma, and the relationship dynamics and stage of life issues with which they intersect.
I am at my best helping a client to understand and work with relationships. I work most naturally in Narrative and Gestalt modalities to help clients find the unrecognized meanings and connections between past and present relationships with self and others in order to make the most of their future. At the same time, I recognize the value of CBT and DBT approaches, which offer well-established techniques for achieving stability and restoring function when the present is overwhelming.

ALEXIS RESENDEZ AMFT #153587
Hello! My name is Alexis Resendez and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #153587 at Aronsen Counseling Services. I have a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I have thorough experience working with voluntary clients, as well as clients who have been mandated by the Department of Child and Family Services. I have worked with adults, children, and adolescents addressing a diverse range of issues such as domestic violence, bereavement, depression, relationship dissatisfaction, job stress, and eating disorders, among others. As your therapist, my hope is for you to see the possibilities for a more enhanced life and seek opportunities for growth at the pace you feel most comfortable. When working with a client, I place an emphasis on establishing a client-therapist relationship that is rooted in respect, authenticity, and warmth. I understand that in the therapy room, discussions may feel heavy, so I like to make space for humor and lightheartedness. I never want my clients to feel like they need to filter what they communicate or how they communicate. I work from an integrated approach, meaning the way that I conceptualize issues may vary to create a treatment plan most suitable to the issues being presented. At the foundation, my work with clients is primarily rooted in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy models. When I am not providing therapy, I am gardening, cooking my favorite meals, riding e-bikes at the beach, or attending a Pilates class. I love living life to the fullest with my loved ones and appreciating the warm weather here on the Central Coast!

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. I specialize in supporting children, adolescents and adults navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and substance use. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel fully seen, heard, and understood while building the tools to improve well-being. With a humanistic foundation, I approach therapy by centering the person, not just the symptoms. I believe in meeting each individual where they are, and walking alongside them to make sense of their experiences, develop meaningful tools, and move toward long-term healing and growth. I use an integrative approach tailored to each client, drawing from person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and somatic therapy.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Social Action from Palo Alto University. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations in nonprofit, outpatient settings, on Santa Clara County's acute crisis response incident team, and as a high school counselor. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families across a wide range of backgrounds and needs at the individual, couple and group level.
Perspective and lived experience are central to my work. I firmly believe that true healing starts with being deeply understood. That’s why I strive to see the world through my clients’ eyes, so I can support them with the compassion, insight, and respect they deserve. Whether you are struggling, seeking clarity, or simply need someone safe to talk to, I’m here to help you navigate your path and discover the strength and tools already within you.
