Meet Karina di Gregorio, LMFT.

Karina works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress, helping them better understand the patterns that may be keeping them feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. Her approach incorporates CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, with a focus on creating practical, meaningful change that lasts.

One of the most rewarding parts of her work is seeing clients experience those "aha" moments when something suddenly makes sense and they begin to recognize their own resilience and ability to grow.

When she's away from the office, Karina enjoys traveling, hiking in the snow, and spending time in the mountains.

Karina is currently accepting new clients in California. If her approach resonates with you or someone you know, you can learn more at https://headlight.health/provider/karina-di-gregorio.

Visibility isn't what defines a disability.

Some disabilities can be seen. Others can't. They may affect how a person thinks, learns, communicates, processes information, manages daily life, or experiences the world. For some people, mental health conditions can also have a significant impact on day-to-day functioning.

Recognizing that not every disability is visible helps create more space for empathy, accessibility, and belonging.

Does it feel easier to keep people at arm's length than to let them get too close?

Dismissive avoidant attachment isn't about not caring. It's a pattern that often develops as a way to protect yourself, making closeness, vulnerability, or relying on others feel uncomfortable even when you want that connection.

The good news is that attachment styles aren't permanent. With self-awareness and support, it's possible to build healthier, more secure relationships over time.

Mental health doesn't exist separately from the rest of life.

Culture, family, identity, faith, language, and lived experiences all shape how we experience the world, including how we experience mental health. That's why culturally responsive care matters.

It's not about making assumptions or having all the answers. It's about listening with curiosity, understanding context, and recognizing that every person's story is unique.

This National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we're recognizing the importance of care that listens first. Because when people feel understood, care can become more meaningful.

ADHD doesn't always look the way women have been taught it does.

For many women, it can show up as constantly feeling behind, forgetting appointments, struggling to get started, or feeling mentally overloaded. Those experiences are easy to write off as personal shortcomings, which can delay diagnosis for years.

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to the story, you're not alone.

Our latest blog explores 20 often-overlooked signs of ADHD in women, why they can be so easy to miss, and what to know if you're considering taking the next step.

Most people would encourage a man to see a doctor if something felt physically wrong.

The same care and concern should apply to mental health.

Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, and other mental health challenges are part of the human experience. Recognizing them and seeking support shouldn't be treated any differently 🧡

A lot of people have heard of TMS, but many still aren’t sure what it actually is.

Some people assume it’s the same thing as ECT. Others think it’s experimental, dangerous, or something that drastically changes who you are.

In reality, TMS has been FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression since 2008 and has helped many people find relief when other treatments haven’t worked the way they hoped.

We wanted to break down a few of the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding treatment.

When people think about PTSD, they tend to picture the most visible symptoms.

PTSD can show up in ways that are easier to miss: sleep difficulties, avoiding certain situations, feeling disconnected from other people, or always being on alert.

Many people living with PTSD are still showing up to work, caring for loved ones, and managing daily responsibilities while carrying a lot beneath the surface.

Meet Claudio Cabrejos, MD.

Claudio works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use challenges, autism spectrum disorders, and other mental health concerns. His approach integrates evidence-based psychiatry with a broader view of healing that considers the mind, body, spirit, relationships, and community.

Growing up between Peru and Brazil and spending time in indigenous communities throughout Peru has shaped the way he approaches care, bringing cultural sensitivity and a deep respect for each person's unique experience.

What drives his work is helping people feel understood as whole individuals and supported as they move toward healing and balance.

Claudio is currently accepting new clients in California. If his approach resonates with you or someone you know, reach out at https://headlight.health/provider/claudio-cabrejos.

When people think about trauma recovery, yoga isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind.

But trauma affects the nervous system, and healing often involves finding ways to feel safer, more connected, and more regulated in our bodies.

Practices like yoga can support that process, and connection can play a bigger role in healing than many people realize.
