Hello! I went into Clinical Social Work after a brief career in marketing and have been licensed and practicing in this field for the past 20 years. I was trained in the Strengths-Based model of social work. I consider my therapeutic approach to be Transpersonal in that I focus on mind, body, and spiritual elements in improving our mental health and wellness. I work with clients to determine their thought patterns and incorporate somatic practice and mindfulness to enhance well-being.

I am a therapist who is experienced in using CBT, COD, Brief Therapy, PTSD, Trauma, Grief and Loss, DBT, and Biopsychosocial therapeutic modalities. Understanding where you, the client, is now, in your quest for answers and help for your therapy needs, is where we start. I have experience in helping adults and older adults in identifying the real issues and finding answers that will help to allow for a more enlightened and often calmer existence.

I am a strength-based therapist working in Northeast Los Angeles. I welcome collaborative conversations regarding the preferred lives those would like to inhabit, finding myself continually curious about the inherent resourcefulness of my clients. I enjoy helping artists to align with preferred intentions in creativity. Often the trickery of circulated messages around "success" can spell us into forgetting one's values in life. As adjunct faculty at Antioch University Los Angeles, I teach numerous courses including Narrative Therapy In Practice, Postmodern Approaches to Addiction, and Group Treatment.

Seeking therapy is a brave and meaningful step forward! I have been a practicing mental health clinician for the past decade. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and mood disorders. Working together is an exciting journey inwards, where we can name and reshape patterns which drain your energy and really get under the symptoms which hold you back.

Do you feel knocked off of your center, disconnected from your true self and isolated from others? Are you heavy and lethargic from burdens and stress? Unhappy or angry, but can't pinpoint why? Are you over-worked and trying to outrun anxiety? Whether you are fusing with others, fusing with alcohol or substances, fusing with phoning, over-doing or avoiding, it might feel like you are crashing. Your pain is real and often we will "crash" in order to shift; but you don't have to crash for something to change. You can be called into your truth, peace and love now.

Accepting new Clients! You are finally ready to start therapy again and try something new. You have struggled to find a Therapist that you feel understands you and you place a lot of value on your mental health. You struggle with how you feel about yourself and feeling good in your relationships. You find yourself in a lot of one sided relationships and can't understand why. You've been in treatment before and are ready to continue working on yourself. Your friends don't seem to always understand and want you to desperately "move on". You often think the problem is you. But it isn't.

I believe that we all have the capacity to heal, despite any adversity we have faced. I hold an understanding that trauma is often at the root of unresolved issues, and I provide a safe space to unpack whatever is weighing on you. I have experience working with clients from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health.I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide resources for you to utilize in everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

I enjoy working with adults and older adults who are actively seeking healthier attachments and improvement in their relationships. My clients want to understand their early relationships and experiences in order to heal and move toward healthy attachments and interactions. These deeper changes can take more time and are longer lasting. I love working to help those who are looking for improved relationships, improved mood, and better quality of life.

Do you struggle to open up to people, and let them in, but you WANT to? Is it easier to keep people at a distance, because the thought of potentially losing them is too painful? Together, we will explore old patterns and help you break free from them so that you can build a better relationship with yourself, and with others. With methods like EMDR and attachment theory, I can help you understand yourself better and see things in a more positive way. Let's start a journey to heal and discover yourself, so you can finally enjoy life the way you deserve.

I love those moments when a client has an “Aha Moment,” saying with raised awareness, “I’ve never thought about it that way before.” Perhaps this moment is in regard to helping heal an emotional wound or recognizing how to overcome a seemingly insurmountable barrier standing in the way of one’s goals. Sometimes clarifying what those goals are, discovering a path toward achieving them, then taking small/realistic steps to do so is what the therapeutic work is about. Healing emotional wounds and uncovering or remembering your strengths will help you clarify and possibly even reach your goals.

I am passionate about working with young adults and LGBTQA+ folks who are survivors of trauma, sexual violence, and power-based harm. I work collaboratively with clients seeking growth, healing, and transformation in their lives due to trauma, distress, life transitions, identity exploration, or relationship issues. Together, we will use an intersectional lens to help you gain deeper insight into the underlying thoughts and patterns that underlie your distress.

The decision to find a therapist can be daunting, but seeking help when you’re struggling is a sign of your strength and I commend you for starting your search. When we struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, and negative thoughts, it can be difficult to manage our daily routines, maintain healthy relationships, cope with change, or simply get through our days without feeling overwhelmed. With warmth and empathy, I’m here to help you navigate your challenges, nurture your inner strengths, and develop healthy coping skills to help you deal with negative thoughts and emotions as they arise.

If you are living with anxiety, depression, or persistent negative thoughts, It can be truly helpful to have someone in your life who is objective, loving and experienced in helping people overcome life's challenges and get back on track. As a third-generation licensed psychotherapist, I am deeply passionate about guiding you toward rediscovering your innate wisdom and zest for life through evidence-based therapy.

My name is Artmiz Bahadori and I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. My hope for participants in therapy is that it is an empowering experience. I believe therapy is most effective as a collaborative process built on trust, openness, and authenticity. My primary focus is working with individuals/adults who may struggle with experiences such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship or work stress, and alcohol/substance related difficulties. Typically, I work best with individuals who are curious and open to developing a deeper relationship with themselves and exploring their perception of their inner world.

Are past traumatic experiences, being an adult child of a dysfunctional home, incest survival experiences, addiction issues, phobia, panic, anxiety, C-PTSD or depression affecting your success?

Hello, I'm Julia May, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Los Angeles and working with clients statewide via telehealth.

If you've become lost amongst obstacles on your journey, I'd like to help guide you to more happiness by offering suggestions, uncovering unwanted patterns, and leading you from the past to the present in order to heal and evolve, enhancing your happiness. Through changes in perceptions/attitudes and being willing to see situations with a new pair of glasses, you can reach your goals and evolve. My clients report that they enjoy my down-to-earth attitude and humor and my use of Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, TRM, meditation and yoga to treat mind-body symptoms. I work best with clients who are motivated to gain self-awareness and see patterns that are no longer serving them. I give homework between sessions in order to keep the continuity of healing working consistently. I feel very blessed to be working in a field that serves people who are finding their best selves and evolving into the people they want to be.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, your past, your present, or your future, you don’t have to do it alone. A shift in perspective can profoundly affect how we feel and what we are able to do, or stop doing, in our lives. Talking with someone who is both objective and 100% on your side can help you see things from a new angle and move forward in new ways, with someone who cares standing behind you.
