Temenos Well Psychology, Inc
With Kiel MᶜFarland, PsyD
In-person & online therapy in California
KIEL MᶜFARLAND, PSYD
our Monrovia therapy room
Therapy starts with building real trust.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still struggle with anxiety, relationships, identity, or past experiences that show up in the present.
Together, we create room for everything that comes with being human: your fear, anger, grief, joy, and hope.
We’ll work toward shedding old patterns and building a new sense of clarity and confidence.
You deserve to live in a way that feels honest and grounded.
Clients have often said that my work with them helps them in ways no prior therapist has been able to, calling our work truly life changing.
While we will explore difficult topics, sessions with me are strength focused and celebratory.
This work is hard but we will laugh along the way.
My Therapy Specialties
-
Complex trauma is layered, lived, and active in your day to day, with deep and complicated origins. We will look at how your past is shaping your present, while building skills you can use to help soften trauma’s effects.

Organizations that are supposed to help have betrayed trust, harming many people. Whether you want to stay in your faith, leave it, or find something new, the goal is not to push you in any direction, but to help you find what is true to you.

I bring together lived experience with expertise as a transgender man and psychologist, combining hard-won lessons from my own journey with extensive, in-depth training in LGBTQIA+ therapy.

Therapy with me is about connecting the dots so your life makes more sense, and change becomes possible.
Kiel MᶜFarland, PsyD
Hi there! I’m Kiel.
I studied to be a psychologist and I also completed advanced theological work. I bring both lenses into therapy.
As a transgender man trained in a Christian institution, I understand what it means to live at the intersection of different systems and expectations.
Outside of therapy, I have been married for 24 years and have a college-age child, and many — perhaps too many — pets.
Therapy With Me Is:
Active and direct
Collaborative
Strength-focused
Honest
A safe place for complexity
Grounded in lived experience
Serious, but never heavy
Always at your pace
