Our experiences in the world can deeply shape how we see ourselves and impact the way we move through relationships in life. I aim to provide a space that is open, accepting, and authentic, where clients feel safe to explore their inner world and identity.

My approach is trauma-informed and draws from EMDR, mindfulness, and attachment-based principles to support meaningful, lasting change. In our work together, I strive to create a space that is grounded in compassion and curiosity.

Hello, I’m Makando Mutanda (She/Her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Georgia and California, based in Los Angeles, and the founder of Sela. I created Sela as a space for individuals and couples seeking care that attends to the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience. As a first-generation immigrant born in Kitwe, Zambia, I bring a personal understanding of how culture, identity, and belonging shape the way people move through the world. These experiences influence how I listen and how I approach therapy, with attention to context, nuance, and the many layers that inform a person’s internal process.

Becoming a therapist felt like a natural path for me, where my curiosity about the human experience and my desire to help others could come together. I value the opportunity to walk alongside my clients as they gain insight, work through challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives. I also believe that having a supportive, nonjudgmental space to reflect and be heard can be incredibly powerful, and it’s meaningful for me to be able to offer that to people.

I provide a collaborative, supportive, nonjudgmental space to reflect on your life and challenges - a space to deepen your understanding of how you tend to think, feel, act, react, and relate to yourself and others - and in turn, to cultivate a more intentional, wise, and fulfilling way of living and responding to life’s challenges.

I became a therapist because I know how healing it can be to have someone really listen and be with you without judgment. We all go through hard things, and I believe no one should have to do it alone. I’m especially interested in how our bodies hold stress and emotions, and how we can gently reconnect to ourselves through awareness, creativity, and compassion. Being a therapist gives me the chance to support people in feeling more understood, empowered, and at home in themselves. I’ll listen closely to your words, your emotions, and what your body might be communicating even when it’s hard to put into words.

Sometimes relationships with yourself and others can start to feel difficult, confusing, or stuck. I work with individuals, couples, and families to better understand and shift the deeper patterns that drive conflict and disconnection. My approach is grounded in attachment dynamics, which means we look at how your early experiences may be shaping the way you connect, respond, and communicate now. We focus on building more awareness, flexibility, and choice so you can move out of automatic reactions and into more intention.

Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, struggling with relationship challenges, developmental trauma, substance use, men’s issues, or severe mental health concerns.

Many of my clients are survivors of abuse. The type of abuse varies, but includes mental, emotional, sexual, and physical abuse.

I thank the individual for sharing their story because I understand how difficult it is. It is especially difficult for my male clients. My clients are looking to understand and process the abuse in the hopes of healing and to have healthier relationships.

It can help you make sense of what you’ve been carrying. My approach is warm, collaborative, and centered around you.
