Healing and Growth

What Healing and Growth does

Healing and Growth is a private psychotherapy practice headquartered at 330 N. Maclay Ave., San Fernando, California, operating since approximately 2018-2019. The firm delivers in-person and virtual mental health services in English and Spanish, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and play therapy, drawing on modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, CBT, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Individual therapy sessions are priced at $130 (low SES) to $165 (standard) per 50-minute session, with Brainspotting at $168 and EMDR at $180.

A distinctive revenue stream is immigration psychosocial evaluations — comprehensive 15-20 page reports supporting Asylum, VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, Cancellation of Removal, and Extreme Hardship waiver cases, priced at $1,300 plus optional $300 court testimony via telephone or Webex. The firm also operates a clinician training business spanning an $800 self-paced course, a $1,297 three-month cohort-based group training program (limited to 10 clinicians, beginning September 22, 2026), and $100-$160 individual coaching sessions or coaching packages, creating a third B2B revenue channel targeted at licensed mental health clinicians.

The practice is led by founder Genesis Espinoza, LMFT #110254, a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-in-Training with EMDRIA, supported by three associate clinicians (Jailene Mazariegos, Jennifer Bravo, Kenia P. Martinez). The firm claims more than 600 immigration evaluations completed and over 1,000 evaluations personally conducted by Espinoza, with service delivery extending across California and Florida. The company operates as a privately held, independent small-group practice with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or funding rounds.
