CARES Mental Health Team
David Irving, LMFT - CARES Coordinator
David Irving (he/him/his) is a licensed marriage and family therapist that has been providing therapy to Alameda County for over 10 years. I use cognitive behavioral and relational therapy techniques to support students with anxiety, mood disorder, or issues with trauma. I incorporate cultural humility into my work with all students. I am very passionate about supporting college students and I am especially skilled at working with sexual and gender minorities as well as students of color. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA and I enjoy good food, good community, swimming, and self-care.
Juztino Panella, LMFT (on sabbatical 23/24)
Juztino Panella (he/him/éll) first came to Chabot in 2012 to play flute and percussion for a Loss & Grief ceremony, and shortly after began working in mental health at the college. He started the Rootz2Rise men’s group where self-identified men could have “real talk” about things like dysfunctional families, violence in the community, toxic masculinity, and relationship issues and get support and guidance. He also co-founded Justice Arts Collective where students could create music to express their pain and their resilience, to challenge oppression and to support one another in the preciousness of this life! Juztino works with Cultural Humility and supports students in gaining greater insight to develop tools and practices to support the transformation they desire. He provides therapy in English and Spanish, and occasionally Italian. When he is not working, you may catch him playing congas in the park or making some good Italian food!

Dr. Lee Porscha Moore (she/her/ella) is a Jackie of all trades; college professor, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), certified yoga instructor, DEI trainer, lifelong student, to name a few. As a sunny SoCal native and beach bum, Porscha's communication style honors cultural humility by inviting those she serves to unpack their thoughts and feelings with laughter and grace. Outside of supporting the amazing human beans of Chabot College, Porscha's wanderlust spirit is always ready to catch a flight and eat some sweets (mmm cupcakes & ice cream).
