Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I’ve worked in the field of addiction and mental health for over 20 years, helping to treat clients with a range of diagnosis and difficulties. Much of my work has been with those suffering from addiction and various mental health issues, as well as extensive work with adolescent clients.

Hi, I’m Kevin. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience working in the mental health field. I’m passionate about helping my clients come to a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships with others, their perception of life and the world, and discover how to move forward on their own path into an ever-expanding sense of connectivity, meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

Let's go on an exploration that will lead to lasting and tangible positive change. It takes a lot of courage to do this, but it is often in the discomfort that we grow. I encourage you to call me for a free consultation and ask any questions you have about myself or therapy. I will want to know about your goals and what you are hoping for in a therapeutic relationship. I believe in a holistic and non-linear view of life that endorses compassion, curiosity, and also getting out of our comfort zones. Once there is trust between us, I will lovingly push you.

I offer in person, outdoor eco-garden sessions (w/ indoor & phone when needed.) I laugh a lot with my clients and though the work of healing can be painful, my clients usually begin to feel better and keep coming. I work well with creative people, BIPOC, and across the spectrums of straight to queer and mono to poly. I have specializations in Psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Buddhist and Existential psychotherapy and a background in philosophy. I collaborate with your highest functioning self to support your confused, critical, scared young parts. The psyche is resilient and thrives on love and therapeutic attention.

I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently practicing in Los Angeles. I am able to work with clients in California and Connecticut. I have had the privilege of working with teens, adults, parents and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and beyond.

In life, pain and suffering are inevitable. We have all been wounded in one way or another. As your Psychotherapist and Integrative Trauma Recovery Trained Specialist, I treat the whole person—body, mind, and soul. Life ebbs and flows, and at times, we can find ourselves in the rapids of despair and confusion. It’s easy to fall into the trap of defining ourselves by our struggles, which only leads us to forget our true story and diminish who we really are. I will help you clear the fog of dysfunction and illuminate your path to develop and reveal the person you truly are and were meant to be.

Have you felt bothered or tormented by the sense of anxiety and dread? Maybe you’ve also had distressing thoughts that are difficult to manage? Anxiety can feel relentless and overwhelming. Many people have been there! You are not alone. I can help you understand your anxiety and develop a plan to help you alleviate your anxiety-related discomfort or suffering. I specialize in treating anxiety (i.e. OCD, phobias, social anxiety), but also work with other emotional concerns, such as depression and loneliness. My hope for all my clients is to reach a place of confidence, self-compassion, and acceptance of yourself.

As an openly gay bi-cultural man, I’ve spent the better part of my adult life unlearning the harmful messages our world tells us about what is means to be different - that we’re somehow broken or unworthy. I am here to tell you they are wrong. You are fabulous, vibrant and deserving of all the gifts this world has to offer. I became a therapist to share what I’ve learned and to bring healing not just to queer folks, but to anyone who knows what it feels like to be left out. When we work together, you can expect a safe, affirming, and sometimes silly space where we collaborate to find real solutions you can implement right away.

I am a therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 76693) in California with a Masters in Social Work from The University of Southern California. I’ve helped people of all ages, genders, and orientations and strive to form relationships with my clients built on trust, collaboration, and respect.

Is it difficult to trust others or your partner? Do you find yourself avoiding people or lacking energy to do the things you enjoy? Would you like a better relationship with yourself and others? I am cisgender LGBTQ affirmative therapist, my goal is to provide a sex positive environment for you to be authentically who you are, without judgment. During short term treatment I will provide you with tools to find practical solutions to your challenges.

Do you feel stuck or unseen in your relationship? Does the fighting go in circles without resolution? As a Couple's Therapist I can help your relationship grow towards harmony and understanding. Individuals: Are you tired of relentless self-criticism? Do you read self-help books only to find yourself struggling with the same things? I can help you find your stride. Many of my clients are high-functioning, creatives, women and couples. I love working with couples & people who are motivated to go deep and see change in their life. If you're ready for growth, don't hesitate to call and receive a consultation today.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California with extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I generally work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health concerns, as well as social and relationship issues causing stress in couples and family relationships. I believe anyone wanting to overcome a matter holding them back in life can benefit from therapy.

Everybody has a story to tell, and I want to hear yours. I believe you are the expert in your experience, and together we can navigate your life with more understanding and ease. My role is to help empower you to become your authentic self using curiosity and empathy. I aim to create a nonjudgmental environment where you can speak freely about your anxiety, relationship issues, thoughts, impulses, secrets, sadness, desires, happiness, work stress, ideas, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, and past/current traumas.

Are you struggling with how crazy the world has become? Do you feel lost, scared or confused? Are you looking for answers during a time when no one seems to have them? I might be able to help you. Before I was a therapist I was a client myself, struggling with addiction, PTSD and other issues as well. My journey of healing led me to becoming a therapist to help others heal. My clients find me to be compassionate, non-judgmental and informative. I tend to work intuitively, while using my training and experience as a guide. I am focused on helping my clients navigate their own healing journey as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

My therapeutic approach supports a centering of the individual to draw upon their foundational ideas of self. We all experience times when we struggle to make sense of, cope with, and bring forward our best selves. I love helping clients unpack what is most challenging in their lives. Through our past exploration of built-upon themes and skills, a different sense of presence can feel more capable with additional ways of interacting to support your goals. My clients are high-functioning individuals and families who are dealing with grief, value/identity, trauma, challenging circumstances, relationship issues, and addiction.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

Welcome! I specialize in the most evidence supported mindfulness-based therapies for the treatment of difficulties with emotion regulation. We all have those moments in life where we can't seem to get a hold of our emotions, relationships, or responsibilities. At the same time, I truly believe that we are always doing the best we can. Sometimes we simply lack the skills needed to thrive. That’s where I come in! My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I treat people not disorders. I draw on your innate strengths, while integrating skills to build emotional resilience so you can navigate life with more ease.

I conduct sessions in French & English in a caring manner to ensure couples, individuals & adolescents feel safe to explore and uncover the patterns that are impacting their satisfaction or keeping them stuck. Together we can make sense of your life, help you explore past and present hardships, learn new tools and access your strengths so that you can make better decisions, stop reoccurring behaviors and feel healthier. Your treatment will be tailored to meet your unique personality & goals. You don't need to be alone in your fears, pain, sadness, thoughts, or confusion. You can get through whatever you are dealing with- Let's talk.

Our life experiences can lead us to question our identity and purpose in the world we live in. This can lead us to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Do you want to improve how you face challenges, function in your relationships, and face overwhelming feelings? I place heavy importance on addressing trauma. Trauma disintegrates the parts that make up your whole self, which can leave aspects of who you are hidden from your awareness. Left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can worsen, which can rob you of the necessary connection that all human beings need to thrive. I aim to help you process unresolved trauma.
