Therapists in Reseda, CA

My name is Kelly Lloyd, and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses and issues, including depression, anxiety, substance use, PTSD, domestic violence, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues, and gender identity. I have worked with diverse populations, including homeless and low-income adults, survivors of domestic violence, adolescents, and families. My approach is psychodynamic, strengths-based, and client-centered. I also like to incorporate practical tools to help my clients improve their daily lives.

Hello! My name is Matthew. Thanks for visiting my profile! I am an eclectic therapist (MFT) who - depending on what it is on which you'd like to work - draws from a number of different modalities (from gestalt to psychodynamic to trauma-informed to solution-focused and more). My goal is to help you become more aware of your wholeness and your own inherent abilities to heal and create for yourself a life imbued with meaning, purpose, wonder, healthy relationships, and spiritual well-being.

I'm a therapist because therapy saved my life. Through that lived experience, and with education and training, I help clients improve their relationship with themselves and others, and navigate issues related to trauma, gender, sexuality, ENM, dating, boundaries, and self-worth. My clients are thoughtful people who have done the best they can on their own and are looking for additional support. They seek to expand their perspective, to feel differently in the world, and want lasting change. Together we'll create that change and I firmly believe in your inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift you seek.

As an trans+queer femme, I am passionate about interdependence and community psych. I believe that the societal structures inherent in our 'independence' focused U.S. culture harms all of us, creating fixed binaries and making asking for and receiving help difficult. We were never meant to do any of this alone, and resourcing folx (in a variety of ways) is at the root of all of my work. 'In the room,' I genuinely care about helping people connect to therapy work in a way that is meaningful to them, noting that this can look a little different person to person and always exists in your own cultural context.

I help adolescents and adults navigate difficulties in their lives. Some of the treatment areas in which I work relate to identity, anxiety, transitions, values, trauma, and mood. My goal is to create an open and safe environment from which to explore, process, and learn. It is an honor to get to know you and to work collaboratively to address whatever brings you to therapy. I look forward to talking with you.

Are you in your sad-girl era? Anxious? Exploring gender? Throuple trouble? Tired of therapist who judge you? If that’s you, look no further, our licensed therapists are for, and from our community. Just. Like. You. So, stop giving your hard-earned coin to unseasoned therapists who just don't get it. We are reimagining and reindigenizing therapy. More importantly, we’re giving you life with indigenous practices that are culturally appropriate, judgement free, and affirmative care.

Your mood’s been down and you’ve been feeling anxious all the time. The past and the future both feel daunting, but being in the present isn’t any easier. Maybe you’re drifting through life, dissociating, or fixating on food so you can feel a sense of control when everything feels hopelessly out of control. You feel stuck between oppressive social pressures, past experiences, and who you really are. Let’s get you back to you.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Sometimes we can start to feel overwhelmed by life. Various triggers such as identity stress, loss, life transitions, traumatic events, anxious feelings, and relational conflict can start to feel unbearable. This can make carrying on day to day activities very challenging. Whether or not you recognize these behaviors in yourself, your children, or your family as a collective, we can work collaboratively towards addressing your unique needs. You are not alone in this. Today you are one step closer to a more authentic you where you feel empowered and on a path to positive growth and well-being.

You are a product of your community. As a result, you are a Survivor of the traumas, the cultural norms, and the "rules" that you followed in order to stay alive. When you based your survival on another's expectation of you, you eventually found yourself lost in the limbo of sacrificing your authenticity and your voice for the happiness and success of your social circle, family, and/or your community.

My name is Kimetha (Kim) Petteway-Turner and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles County. I have 15 years of clinical experience, working with individuals, couples, and families. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, women's mental health, and life transitions. Frequently, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), as these modalities help clients learn to change their thinking and gain control of their emotions and behaviors.

As a queer Japanese-American, I believe the authentic self is a hard-earned accomplishment. Clients who connect with me are often similarly invested in identity work and reauthoring their narrative to reflect who they are. Together, we explore how external systems such as capitalism and patriarchy impact how they understand themselves, how they walk through the world, and how they connect with others.

If you’re looking for a therapist who shows up authentically, provides heartfelt warmth and empathy, and who doesn’t mind using humor or the occasional curse word when appropriate, I hope you'll reach out! Modern life is complex. While our shared world buzzes with relentless motion and change, oppressive systems often feel fixed and difficult to budge. Working towards healing and growth can feel daunting, if not sometimes impossible. I believe a supportive therapeutic relationship can be massively empowering while navigating life's seemingly endless sorrows, joys, and complications.

Are you feeling lost? Or maybe out of control, burned out, stuck, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. Life is hard, and finding a therapist is even harder! My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment - one where you are respected, seen, and empowered! My ideal client is Queer, Trans, Gender non-conforming, or exploring their gender and sexual identities! I am queer, trans non-binary, white, neurodivergent human who values diversity and strives to use an anti-colonial lens.

We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating intrusive thoughts, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

I work with individuals & families who yearn for deeper, more satisfying connections to themselves, each other and the earth. Self-love is an unlearning process, and by bearing witness to your gifts, spirit, and love, as well as whatever may be clouding these forces, I hope to help you come home to yourself and from a place of alignment, begin orienting your life towards what nourishes it. Capitalism leaves us with few tools beyond the punishment and blame when it comes to self-improvement. I hope to replenish your toolkit with the grace, curiosity, and connection that will actually facilitate the growth and wellbeing of your spirit

Do you feel like there's a piece of you that's foggy? Is there a feeling so destructibly comforting that it's hard to pull away? Do you ever feel like wallpaper in a crowded room? Do the screams from your dreams keep you up at night, follow you in the morning, and sing off key during the day? Is life confusing, weird, and just too painful? Let's talk about it. Scream about it. Write about it. Cry about it. Hug plushies while we laugh about it. Whatever it is that you need in order to experience that release. My philosophy is that each and every human being has a unique and powerful story to tell. Lets hear your next chapter.
