Authenticity, self-acceptance, and social justice are the tenets that guide my work as a therapist. Through our work cultivating an affirming and nonjudgemental relationship, and drawing from our lived experiences, I will support you in deconstructing what is causing ongoing distress, help facilitate insight and empowerment, and foster building healthier and more authentic relationships with yourself and others.

Life can be quite challenging and stressful, and I want you to know that you're not alone. I've had my own share of challenges and severe hardships, and at times I even felt I had no control over my life. I draw on these experiences as well as my clinical training as I approach each new person to form a potential therapeutic alliance. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, traumatic experiences, or grief over any sort of loss, I have a good sense of where you're coming from, because I've been there, too.

Relationships, work, and life, in general, can be tough. Being told, "it will get better" or "time will help", although well intended, doesn't help. Being able to connect with someone who listens, connects with you, is honest and direct about challenges in order to help you navigate through the process can help.

I believe in the strength, creativity, and resilience of people. After twenty years in licensed practice, I can see more clearly than ever that people are not hopelessly stuck. I believe that people do the best they can in the face of difficult and challenging circumstances. However, it is easy to get stalled in unproductive patterns of behavior. I want to help people find new tools and new ways of relating to others. My work is to help people find new perspectives, new ways of looking at problems, so that they can approach life with confidence, assurance,and serenity.

Even though therapy can be challenging and often a painful process of self-discovery, when done in a supportive and empathic environment it can be immensely life changing. Together we will explore how the past has influenced you and make changes in the present, so you can create a more gratifying future. I have extensive experience in treating depression, life transitions, anxiety, relationship & family issues, loss & trauma and sexual abuse.

You are exhausted as you try to manage it all with your inner critic snapping at you. I help LGBTQIA+ people feel affirmed, and people in highly demanding careers. My style is warm and inviting. Figuring life out can be draining and anxiety can rise. Improve self-esteem as we navigate the journey together! I'm gay myself, so I understand how weird this world can feel. Let's work together to bring back a sense of ease and calm. You can learn how to deal with stress, overwhelm, and feelings of unease. Website: PatrickTullyTherapy.com

My name is Dr. Shushan V. Kalantaryan (I am more commonly known as Dr. K). I am a licensed clinical therapist with a Bachelors in Psychology from American Psychological Association accredited University and a Doctors in Marriage and Family Therapy from California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in Los Angeles. I have a wide range of experiences working in private practices, nonprofit organizations, and psychiatric settings as well as having served as an adjunct professor at California Professional School of Psychology.

Unlike psychiatry where medication is prescribed to prevent your feelings from being experienced, my practice is designed to make sense and make use of the sensations we are receiving from ourselves. Professionally bringing our attention to psychological symptoms puts us in direct contact with the core of our conflict(s) and sets forth a personal resolution.

Thank you for considering therapy with me. I am looking forward in meeting you. You will find me to be flexible and sensitive. I enjoy helping individuals in achieving personal growth; in a caring & safe environment. Whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief/loss, sexual dysfunction, we can work together to resolve your issue and minimize your suffering. Your natural state of being is a gift and is what I work with in psychotherapy to bring out your hidden potentials to surface.

We at APLA Health - David Geffen Center, located in Koreatown, are dedicated to serving our community, and we make working with individuals of all backgrounds part of our mission. We are here to help, whether you're completely committed to change or you're struggling with the idea.

Change is constant. Whether with work, personal relationships, or society in general, everything is always changing, evolving - moving forward. Sometimes the tools or thoughts we use to cope with the ever-changing situations are out dated and leave us feeling frustrated, fearful, or even overwhelmed. In recognizing this, it is time to update our thoughts and coping skills so we can move forward and grow away from fears, low self esteem, or "stuck" feelings. Hypnosis is a safe, effective Holistic tool, with a positive approach to overcoming the fears/challenges holding you back from the success you desire and deserve.

I come from the heart. I'm here to help you feel safe and secure. I am here to go on a journey with you to find your true self, to lift depression, to work with anxiety, and transform this time of crisis into stronger relationships and more heart-felt productivity. As a gay, Jewish man, I have an ear for all people struggling with difference and oppression. I can go deep with you into healing old trauma. Or I can help you coach you with day-to-day career and relationship challenges. If you need a therapy to jump-start new growth in the New Year, I am here for you on that quest of both self-discovery and seeing more palpable results.

I find it a privilege to be a part of people's lives and assist them with their difficulties, and truly enjoy the relational aspect of therapy. My 20 years as a therapist have allowed me to develop expertise in working with a wide range of people, cultures and clinical issues. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD, women's issues (such as postpartum depression or OCD, pregnancy loss and relationship difficulties), and in working with multicultural individuals and couples. I was a psychologist at UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services for 8 years and also specialize in working with students and their families.

Currently welcoming new clients and offering Telehealth services through HIPAA compliant video platform! Navigating through todays society is already hard enough; throw in depression/anxiety, trauma, relationship/communication issues, loss/grief/bereavement, and family conflict and now you've got a whole new amount of stress and discomfort to deal with. While we may not be able to change certain aspects of life, we can change how we process, adjust expectations, cope, improve communication skills, set boundaries, and strengthen resilience.

The clients who come to see me are adults of all ages whose lives are diminished by depression or anxiety, whether lingering or overwhelming. Such feelings make it difficult to focus on tasks or leave the house. Some clients struggle with unsupportive family members or relationship partners; others cannot shake off the impact of trauma they suffered as children or adults. Often I see young people who want to be Independent Adults, but feel they’ve lost their way, cannot find stable relationships, or establish boundaries with parents or roommates. My older adults are coping with aging; but they desire social connection and purpose.

Accepting the responsibility to change is not an easy task but it’s highly rewarding once you take the initiative. We will carefully work through your barriers in order to reconstruct your future.
