Therapists in South Pasadena, CA

Therapy is a deeply personal and challenging process. As a therapist, I aim to create a space where individuals moving through difficult periods of their lives can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and learn new ways of relating to them. I strive to be a non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic partner in your healing journey. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folks, individuals dealing with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, chronic pain, and challenging life transitions.

Many of the people who consult with me identify as artists, writers, filmmakers, educators, activists, sex workers, queer, transgender, nonbinary, polyamorous/non-monogamous, or are living in resistance to social norms in one way or another. Problems can seem to take over our lives when we find ourselves living near the edges of what's deemed "acceptable," "respectable," or even "healthy." Through our conversations, I hope to help people reimagine the kinds of responses and relationships they would prefer to have towards difficult situations or problems in their lives.

My goal as a therapist is to empower you to be your own best advocate. I want to help you identify your feelings, needs, wants, and resources- creating a space where all of you is welcome, seen, and respected. While I always attempt to approach therapy through an inclusive, intersectional lens, I am also open to critical feedback. I want to make space for you. I want to help you reconnect with your authentic self to best support your own growth and healing. See more on my website: www.samsilvermantherapy.com. I offer Zoom (or other virtual) sessions and park sessions in the echo park area.

The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. It can be hard to know how to talk to your parents. This can be a scary time filled with a lot of fear, curiosity, uncertainty, and grief; all of which can complicate your relationship with your family and friends. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.

No matter where you are in your journey, I am here for you with judgement-free, support. Whether you have a specific goal or just feel lost and don’t know what you need yet, we can start wherever you are. I am comfortable sitting with you in your darkest spaces, celebrating your victories, sifting through overwhelm when everything feels like chaos, and everything in-between. As a transmasculine and autistic person, I deeply understand the importance of creating a safe and affirming space to explore your identity and navigate life's complexities. Together, we can find what works best for you, no matter what that looks like.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step in finding ways to better support your mental health. We can become weighed down by anxiety, depression, racing thoughts and fears.

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.

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.
