Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Culver City, CA

I am passionate about the resiliency of the human spirit in healing from trauma , creating and nurturing engaging relationships, and finding our way through life’s transitions. I view therapy as a tool to create a safe space to show up authentically and work toward living the life you seek. My work is with children (10 & up), teens, adults, & couples who are healing from trauma , working on identity, body image, and self-esteem, experiencing anxiety, depression, & stress, recovering from narcissistic, sexual, or domestic abuse, having difficulty with dating & relationships, & working through divorce, co-parenting, & blending families.

Welcome, I know it takes a lot of strength to begin your journey towards healing; people need one another through both good and challenging times. I provide a number of specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with a variety of life challenges. I work with many individuals from all walks of life and work with a variety of presentations including trauma , depression, anxiety, mood disorders, identity conflicts, grief and loss, phase of life concerns, etc. Our goal together will be to increase insight, quality of life, navigate future uncertainties and recover from past experiences."

My approach is grounded in the belief that each person has the innate capacity to heal, grow, and access inner resources to change. My role as your therapist is to create a safe space for your healing and change to unfold, and to help you address barriers that prevent you from living life fully. I have witnessed that when we experience growth and healing, we are able to engage in life more authentically, experiencing more joy and less suffering.

We all have untapped resilience. As a therapist my goal is to help unblock the powerful resources that lie within you so you can live a happier, healthier life. Growth is possible for any human being at any stage of life. We are all life-long learners and therapy can be a great resource to build insight and develop coping skills that allow you to overcome the challenges you are currently facing, as well as future life stressors that may come your way. I take an active stance in therapy to work collaboratively with my clients, using modern and integrative interventions. A bit of humor helps too.

Do you get stuck in cycles of negative thinking? Does it sometimes feel like your mind is working against you? Do you find it tough to turn off damaging self-talk and self-blame? This perpetual self-punishment can give rise to and worsen already challenging conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as sustain the effects of trauma . Wouldn’t it be a relief to break these patterns of destructive thinking? To improve self-esteem? To feel confident and worthy of engaging with others? I can help.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in EMDR and Functional Family Systems for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems.

In my work with clients, I create a safe and nurturing environment for you to find your way back to a sense of wholeness and fulfillment in life. It's not about fixing what's broken or changing your identity but helping you remember what it's like to feel in balance and connected and supporting you in letting go of what's blocking you from finding that core, creative and joyful self within. My specialities for treatment include: addiction, trauma , grief processing, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, stress management and codependency.

I sought therapy to heal and break free of the trans-generational cycle of trauma . My passion is working with trauma survivors to help them heal and break the trans-generational cycles in their lives. I enjoy working with Bipoc, queer, and neuro-divergent individuals. My specialities are racial trauma , identity (sexual, personal, and cultural), sex therapy, relationships, and life transitions. I want to help you communicate more effectively, become more vulnerable, gain a better understanding of who you are, increase your self compassion, let go of fear, decrease your anxiety, and embrace your strength and power.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide psychotherapy to individuals coping with both chronic mental health struggles and difficult life transitions/stressors. I am experienced providing treatment and support to people of all ages managing depression, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma symptoms, grief and loss, adjustment stressors, parenting issues and relationship and attachment issues. I value the opportunity to support my clients in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves through process-oriented work in order to grow their ability to practice self-acceptance and self-compassion in place of self-judgement.

I am Licensed in California and Texas so I can see clients virtually from either location. My specialty is working with adolescents and women of color specifically due to my professional background and personal experiences which I use to guide my practice. I am an expert in helping adolescents navigate the difficulties and challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood such as: identity formation, sexuality, family issues, peer pressure, and developing short and long term career goals.

I bring mindfulness and somatic tools to my clients to help them find balance and create the shifts that they need while exploring the pain that brought them to therapy in a meaningful, healing way.

Have you experienced depression, loneliness or trauma ? My name is Shelly Keller and I've been practicing as an LCSW for the past 12 years. I have extensive experience working with trauma , grief, adoption, depression, foster care and relationship issues. My personality is positive and empowering. My personal philosophy is not to judge but to empower people. I have been working in the field of social work for over 22 years and have been involved in empowering people from different life circumstances during this time.

Dr. Rebecca Suchov is a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma , life transitions and relationship difficulties. Dr. Suchov works with clients across the developmental lifespan, and has expertise in providing evidence-based therapies to individuals and families. She believes in a collaborative approach to empowering her patients to explore their strengths, values, and interpersonal skills, to confidently adapt to any situation life hands them.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or recently gone through a significant hardship, I'm here to support you. I love working with individuals that are driven to create meaningful change and willing to learn how to form new more adaptive ways of thinking. We certainly don't need to stay 'stuck' in old patterns or feelings of complacency-yet we find ourselves accepting it as our norm all the time, allowing it to rob us of our joy. There are practical tools that we can learn to change these unhelpful patterns of thinking, and I'm passionate about helping others to learn the tools to feel happier overall.

I provide my clients with a safe and professional environment in which to explore areas of concern, difficulty, and strength. It is my belief that there are times in life when we feel stuck, or are experiencing suffering, and need support in order to move through and/or change patterns that are no longer of use. Sometimes it is necessary to access guidance from a professional outside of the current situation in order to assist in gaining perspective. Through this collaboration, it is possible to gain insight and awareness that allows one to move forward with awareness and options.

My work is informed by the idea that in order to change, we must first cultivate self-acceptance. I believe that we all possess an inner strength and resilience that, with support and increased self-awareness, can empower us to live authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful lives.

I have worked with clients in English/Spanish helping adults with co-occurring disorders, at-risk youth, children, adolescents and veterans, with exposure to trauma , neglect, abuse, and parents with parenting issues. Working with these clients early on in my career motivated me to help those who cannot help themselves. Working as a therapist is a rewarding experience as well as a privilege to be invited into another person's life. I find that in joining clients on their journey to make changes and overcome the difficulties in their lives it enables them to discover their best self.
