Dr. Yvonne Love helps teens, adults, and seniors in California build emotional resilience, improve relationships, and regain a sense of balance when life feels overwhelming. Practicing at LifeStance Health, she provides compassionate, evidence-based mental health care through individual therapy and couples therapy, supporting patients across California with concerns ranging from everyday stress to complex psychological conditions. A core passion of Dr. Love’s work is helping individuals heal from trauma and navigate women’s issues, including recovery from sexual assault, partner abuse, and life transitions that affect identity, safety, and self-worth. She brings a steady, validating presence to this work, helping patients process difficult experiences, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Her approach emphasizes empowerment, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. Dr. Love also specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, with additional experience addressing ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, sleep disorders, substance use concerns, and health-related psychological challenges. She works with teens, adults, and seniors, and has particular experience supporting First Responders, Military/Veterans, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Her therapeutic style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and couples and marital counseling, while also offering additional evidence-based interventions as appropriate. She is bilingual and provides care in Spanish. Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Love enjoys yoga, road cycling, music, theatre, painting, logic games, reading, scrapbooking, and photography—creative outlets that reflect her belief in balance, curiosity, and lifelong growth.
