We all have issues - from just being human and from life experiences. Then add the layers of living in Los Angeles and living in the present world! Is happiness slipping away or just beyond reach?

Adolescence can be a time of intense emotional struggle affecting the whole individual and those around them. Through processing the underlying issues, whether that is trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, etc., clients can learn to embrace this unique time in their life to overcome challenges, discover their true worth, and live boldly according to their values. With compassion and authenticity, my approach to therapy focuses on providing a safe space for adolescents to address their struggles while finding hope and meaning for their future.

You are committed to your growth and to having a great life. You feel stuck in the past and find yourself circling back to the same situation, person, place, or issue. You want to break through the obstacles and patterns that have stopped you from reaching your goals and having a rich and expansive life. I will assist and support you to discover limiting experiences from your past. You will bring new insight, compassion and tools into your life today and step into the creation of a bright tomorrow.

Like any relationship, a good fit with your therapist is the foundation for getting started. In an atmosphere of safety and support, I’ll help you understand yourself in new ways, empowering you to change areas of your life that once felt stuck or overwhelming. Together, we’ll navigate these challenges while also being curious about the patterns and deeper meanings beneath the surface.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. I believe that sometimes we just need a safe place where we can share and be heard until we're able to assemble our thoughts and put the pieces together. I provide a client centered environment, offering empathy, a non-judgmental, reassuring hopeful atmosphere. I work together with my clients to support and establish their goals so that they will ultimately discover and develop their inner strengths.

As a certified psychoanalyst, I specialize in treating teens and adults who struggle with depression; intense anxiety; obsessive-compulsive symptoms including invasive, disturbing thoughts; intolerable, painful emotions; high-conflict relationships; impulsive behaviors including suicidal and self-injurious behavior; substance and/or alcohol abuse; eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Our collaboration strives to help you find internal harmony. My method of investigation of the mind is designed to help you gain clarity in your thinking, achieve emotional containment and experience self-empowerment.

I'd love to help you become the best of yourself. Together we create a safe space to expand the resources you already have to create change. Our focus is on the present day challenges reflecting earlier disruptions. We update old patterns of behavior to ground you in today's possibilities for greater satisfaction. My experience as a somatic therapist can help you to recognize the resources that already exist in your body. People I work with often suffer from relationship problems, low self esteem, shame, anxiety, depression, PTSD. I enjoy being fully present with you so you can be fully present with yourself.

Have you ever had the thought that you can’t remember what it’s like to NOT feel anxious? Does your mind continuously operate on overdrive? Are you tired of the same repetitive thought patterns? Is life feeling like one endless chore with no light at the end of the tunnel? Have you ever told yourself you know you need to make a change, but you can't muster the will power to follow through? Do you feel stuck in your relationship patterns but don't know what or how to change? If you answered yes to any of the above, we might be a great match. I believe that great therapy involves using many lenses or frameworks in order to heal.

I am here to help you learn more about yourself and to help you to improve your relationships, both with yourself and with others.

As a parenting coach and consultant, I attend to whatever needs the most pressing attention in your family. In addition to office meetings, I offer home and school visits to help determine the most expedient course of action to help your family navigate your current developmental challenge. These unique consultations are often short-term, and families may return for periodic visits to address new issues as they emerge. Consider me your parenting partner from birth until your children launch, and even beyond!

My approach is warm, compassionate and supportive. In a comfortable and nonjudgmental atmosphere, I strive to assist clients to grow and develop into their best selves.

I am a neuropsychologist and clinical psychologist. I specialize in treating and assessing thinking/memory problems and other cognitive impairments, as well as anxiety and depression, in children, teens, and adults. Whether you're experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression in this uncertain world; you can't talk to your child without it turning into an argument; your child is not performing well at school; or your parent's memory functioning is not what it used to be, I can help. Your struggles do not define you. You deserve to be happy, and you deserve to succeed.

Therapy is a deeply personal process. My approach is to help you to understand the parts of yourself that currently limit your ability to achieve intimacy in relationships, self awareness and insight. I work primarily with patients suffering from depression and other mood disorders, as well as trauma, obsessive compulsive and other anxiety disorders.

Our past presents itself in the present moment. Whether it is anxiety, panic, pain, addictions, trauma, loss or grief - we explore together what gets in the way of living a life worth living. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, NARM, EMDR, Voice Dialogue, and mindfulness practices into a multidimensional approach to discover how to help you realize a satisfying life, the life you want to live.

Life is challenging enough without being hampered by painful or unpleasant thoughts, feelings or memories. I have been in private practice since 1990, helping people overcome the emotional obstacles that prevent them from living full and satisfying lives. These obstacles include: low self-esteem, difficulty relating to others, relationship problems, unresolved grief, immobilizing anxiety, unresolved issues from childhood, maladaptive ways of coping with stress etc.. I see adults only and do not do couple's therapy. When contacting me, please briefly state what you need help with, and, your insurance, if planning to use it.

I have over 20 years experience in working with children, adolescents and families with various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. My specialty and passion is in working with parents in helping them become the best parents they can be; including managing behavior problems at home and school, co-parenting, family therapy and Child-Parent dyadic Psychotherapy. I am able to provide therapy in both Hebrew and English. To accommodate the local Jewish community, I have available appointment times on Sunday, in addition to weekdays.

The OCD Center Los Angeles is a private, outpatient clinic specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related anxiety-based conditions. Among the disorders we treat are: OCD, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobias, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (body image anxiety), Hypochondria (health anxiety), Trichotillomania (hair pulling), and Dermatillomania (skin picking). Unfortunately, traditional talk therapy has little impact on these conditions. Conversely, research has consistently found CBT to be the most effective treatment for these disorders. While treatment may last years with traditional therapy, most clients make dramatic improvement with CBT in just 4-6 months.

Are you angry, stuck, confused, discouraged and/or stressed? Are your work, play or relationships missing something? Are anxieties, bad habits or distractions preventing satisfaction in any area of your life? Are you dealing with blocks to your professional performance--writing, acting, singing, speaking, etc.? We can work together to find the source of the problem (often not in the most obvious place) and plan solutions tailored to your personal needs, inclination and comfort. I work with individuals (from older teens to seniors), couples and small groups.(stressman@att.net, 310.838.5625).
