Art Therapy in 90016

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.

Hello, welcome, and thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself. My focus is to help individuals and families heal from challenging life situations. I specialize in children, adolescents, individuals, families, and couples. As the therapeutic area of concern is introduced we can begin to work together in developing empowerment of self as we set up together healthy and achievable goals. As we establish our therapeutic relationship in empathy, communication, safety, and trust I will work alongside you to develop specific coping tools in a positive direction and further your strengths and resilience for your areas of concern.

My name is, Claudia Villierme, M.Ed., MFT, & APCC. I extend a comfortable and warm approach to therapeutic session work. While topics within our session may be complex, I believe the process of building rapport, listening, reflecting, and brainstorming our options can be simple. By offering a combination of therapies (depending on your needs), I approach most clients with a trauma-informed approach (understanding that most of us have had trauma and adversities in our past). I intend to build a rapport and a safe space where we can find a therapeutic approach for your care- as an individual.

I believe you're here for a reason, and that God has a purpose for you. Depression, anxiety, marital issues, eating disorders, and many other problems, keep us from living full lives. I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping people who are hurting, and want more out of life. I believe my greatest strength is helping people find the missing keys needed to make positive change. I believe I connect well with my clients by not judging them and by empathizing with their struggles. I am passionate about helping people find the happiness they're looking for.

Hello, there! I am Alice Hamlin-Magnusson, MA, LMFT, PPSC, and I absolutely love what I do. As a therapist, I am not working; I am doing what I genuinely enjoy which is learning about you and what you would like your life to look like. Please feel free to reach out to me in order to set up a free phone consultation. I believe that not every therapist will jive with every client, so it is important both that you feel comfortable and safe with me and also that I feel that I can meet your needs therapeutically. I look forward to getting to know you better!

My approach as a therapist is to create a safe, supportive, and accepting therapeutic relationship. I believe in people's innate desire to move towards the life that is best for them. However, sometimes life places roadblocks in our way that can make it challenging to reach our goals. When working with me, you will find that I am someone who will support you in moving towards your goals and learning new skills to manage life's challenges. I work best with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood instability, psychosis, and trauma.

I work with people from all walks of life, including LGBTQIA+ and individuals from the global majority who experience marginalization. My approach is sex and body positive, and always (and in all ways) respectful of the intersectionality of identities. I have a particular interest in working with artists and survivors of sexual trauma, single or partnered, who want to (re)connect with their sense of desire, sexual agency, and sensual vitality.
