I specialize in working with children with emotional or behavioral challenges. That means children of all ages, both those of chronological age, and the children that still exist within all of us. I use a whole person, whole family approach, which includes sessions with the child, as well as coaching and discussion sessions with the parents or occasionally the entire family. For children's behavior to change, the behavior of the caretakers must change as well.

Dr. Taji Huang PhD is an Individual, Celebrity and Adult Psychologist in West Los Angeles. Dr. Huang is a dedicated Life Coach who helps individuals through difficult periods of their lives. She helps to maximize her patients potential to enjoy a successful and productive life.

Past failures, poor decisions and missed opportunities result in feeling unforgiving towards ourself and cynical about life. Drug abuse, alcohol or other problematic behaviors may have been a source of coping but we have realized that the original problems are still there and sometimes get worse. Learn about your depression and addiction and you will learn about yourself. Making changes in our life begins by recognizing that changes need to occur. Working with the right therapist can help you learn and apply new and adaptive coping skills to identify and maintain a life worth living. HIPAA compliant Telehealth services available.

THERAPY WORKS. IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Will it work for you? It depends. Y'ever wonder why you're not where you want to be in your life - why things aren't turning out as planned? Image that changing. I have opinions and theories, and I'm willing to share them with you fairly early on. I'm not just going to watch you make the same mistakes over and over again without saying something to you. I won't make your decisions for you, but I will help you examine consequences and encourage you to make better choices.

People usually call a therapist because they're struggling, and often they've already been struggling for a long time. With that in mind, I work to help my patients feel better as quickly as possible. One thing I emphasize is developing a warm relationship that enables us both to speak honestly-even though that honesty can sometimes be challenging. But I don't believe the whole purpose of therapy is just getting rid of symptoms. Ultimately, therapy is about opening up new possibilities for living. It's about feeling more connected to oneself and others, and developing a richer experience of life.

Rather than list my technical skills or present a diatribe about my approach to psychotherapy, I will tell you a few significant facts about myself and the work we will do together. I have been providing treatment for 30 years. My clients improve, they recover, and they heal. I assist people who suffer from anxiety and depression through insight and introspection focused on the analysis of a patient’s deep-seeded fear-related trauma and how that fear impacts the NOW . I focus on channeling the energy that can be harnessed from fear, a powerful human emotion that can rob us of our life energy.

Life can be challenging at times. During the therapeutic process, I look at how our environment, life experience, and current relationships have an impact on the decisions we make.

As your therapist I help you identify and break down the barriers that are in the way of your happiness. I am here to work with you to find new ways around those barriers. I work with you to identify what does work, what's not working and what keeps you from doing what works. I help you to discover new coping tools that you can take with you and use for new challenges that you face.

Do you feel disconnected from living a vibrant and engaged life? Do the simplest tasks stand before you like an ocean? Are relationships a source of emotional pain in your life? Our ability to make sense of our emotional experiences can be the key to releasing emotional pain and suffering. Often times, our own cultural perceptions of mental health can prevent us from seeking the help that we need. My personal and professional experiences have influenced my understanding of the value of promoting mental health and how simple changes can have a profound effect on our lives.

Life can be complicated, full of change and challenges. Although we have all come up with ways get through these times or cope, sometimes challenges persist, resurface or feel overwhelming. Significant change requires deep personal examination, something difficult to do on our own. Psychotherapy is an effective way to help us understand our behavior and its connection to our inner emotional experience. It helps to resolve common problems that often impact our daily functioning including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, bereavement, and difficult life phases. Psychotherapy is a supportive process promoting exploration, growth and change.

Today, our coping strategies are being stressed as never before. We’re forced to face questions about ourselves, our unhealthy habits, and our place in the world. In this intense self-reflection, we feel trauma, depression, and anxiety more acutely. I help clients discover that this sense of desperation may actually be a unique chance for self awareness and spiritual reemergence. In those instances, I offer a haven for grounding, reassurance, and encouragement. For those exploring psychedelics to treat their mental health, I also offer risk reduction and integration support.
