Therapists in El Segundo, CA

Have you or your child ever talked about feeling "different" or "out of place"? Maybe you struggle to identify with the people & world around you. Perhaps, as a young adult, you feel unprepared for "adulting", frustrated, and overwhelmed. These are common thoughts of my clients; pre-teens, teens & young(ish) adults who want support whether struggling with school, work stress, socializing, self-esteem etc. I offer counseling for mild/moderate Anxiety, Depression & specialize in providing neurodiverse affirming mental health support (ADHD, Autism) I also provide psychoeducational assessments for ADHD, Autism, & Learning Differences

I am committed to helping individuals learn how to develop healthier relationships with others, increase self-esteem, and work through past traumas that continue to resurface in their current relationships. My approach to therapy is strength based, solution focused, and trauma informed.

Do you find yourself struggling with Anxiety, Depression, gender or sexual identity, grief/loss, or acute/chronic medical illness? The desire to feel better about ourselves is a part of our intrinsic being. I can be there as a support and sounding board for you, your loved ones & family. With the goal of accepting your perfectly imperfect self, we can work effectively with each other to find your joy, or at the very least, how to make it through each day to the next.

We know asking for help is not an easy thing to do. We also know that finding a provider you trust to help you navigate mental health care can be a challenge. That's why we're here and we're doing things differently. As a patient at Bonmente, you enjoy comprehensive treatments customized specifically for your unique circumstances, convenient telemedicine appointments that allow you to see your provider from the comfort of home, an online patient portal that lets you communicate directly with your provider, and a highly trained support team that makes becoming a patient as simple as it should be.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming, or we feel stuck, or maybe we just wish we had more enjoyment in our lives. Perhaps it seems like everything "should" be okay but there's a nagging feeling that something is wrong. Therapy can help address these issues. I believe we all have the desire and capacity for positive change and growth. My approach builds upon this belief and incorporates creative and practical tools tailored to your unique circumstances.

With over 20 years of professional experience and after years of private practice, I left the therapy world when I discovered the opportunity to advocate for individual and families. As a Therapeutic Consultant, my primary goal was to help individuals find the best fit for interventions for mental and physical health care. I soon discovered that the best fit can't happen without good diagnostics first. A team approach is the heart of our program, uncovering what is truly wrong, or right, about your body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle. Our concierge evaluation program provides one-on-one diagnostics and world-class care and support.

I am accepting new clients - teens, romantic partnerships, adults, and families. You may know exactly what you want, or you may have no idea what brings you here. All I know is that it feels really good to finally get help, and yet, it can still be hard to accept that you deserve it. Wherever you are in this process, I’ll meet you there. Bring your hopelessness, anger, anxiety, and questions, and we can take a closer look together. With a collaborative and authentic approach, I'll both challenge you and honor your pace. I’m not a fixer, but I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed care to help you help yourself.

Accepting new (in-person and telehealth) clients. Welcome, I'm Taylor! I have had a passion for healing from a very young age. It all began with the healing journey of myself, through which I explored countless modalities. I found that the most profound growth came from combining both eastern and western practices. This is why I focus my work in merging east and west. My approach is integrative as well as eclectic. While my practice is grounded in traditional depth psychotherapy, I incorporate spiritual healing elements such as intuitive therapy, energy clearing, yoga nidra & guided meditations.

I work with clients who are seeking change in their life. My goal is to help you identify and alter specific aspects of your life that are not working, as well as amplify the parts that are. I am energetic and active with my clients in not only exploring underlying emotional issues that are perpetuating presenting problems, but also to find and use effective solutions to these issues. The goal is to better improve your life and increase the health and balance of your mind, body, and soul.

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression due to family and work stressors, personal relationships, stage of life transitions, or trauma? Life is filled with challenges and there are many reasons you may find yourself looking for support. Researching therapists is an important first step towards actualizing your highest and best self. Isn't it time to step into your power? Using somatic interventions and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, I will work collaboratively with you to implement easily practiced wellness skills into your everyday life that promote a sense of connection and well-being.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples find and maintain healthy and happy relationships. This includes: healing from sexual trauma, addiction/codependence recovery, sex/porn addiction, grief/repair from infidelity and/or betrayal, conflict resolution, communications skills, finding healthy partnerships, building healthy intimacy and sexuality in your relationship, and so on.

As a therapist, I am committed to empowering clients to live their best life, have meaningful and loving relationships, and most importantly, in the words of Virginia Satir, "help them have stars in their eyes and truly feel their own value." At times, as we move through the different stages of our life, we find ourselves stuck due to our unproductive internal dialogue of shame and guilt, the need to be perfect, and the daily attempts to be who the rest of the world wants us to be. This leads us to feeling broken and unable to love ourselves or truly connect with others.

Starting in childhood, we each have experiences that determine what we believe about ourselves and others. Based on those experiences, we develop a story about who we are. Sometimes the very beliefs that enabled us to survive childhood begin to hold us back in adulthood. HYPNOTHERAPY uses hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, mindfulness, and other tools to overcome homeostasis. HYPNOTHERAPY enables the powerful subconscious mind to transform limiting personal beliefs and automatic emotional responses to create lasting change!

Life is an amazing gift. It brings excitement and adventure but also can be quite frustrating and overwhelming. My approach to therapy is transparent, curious, and compassionate. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, relational issues, and pre/postnatal maternal mental health. I use a combination of different therapeutic approaches which depends on needs. If you are struggling with an eating disorder/or unhealthy relationship with food or exercise, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, restricting, binging, purging, and/or other destructive patterns, you have come to the right place.

I believe in a collaborative and non-pathologizing stance that centers people as agentive in their lives. My therapeutic approach is guided by Narrative Therapy, Feminist, and Poststructural Theory. I am a poly-friendly and LGBTQ+ affirming provider. I aim to cultivate a respectful and dignifying environment for one to feel witnessed and supported.

I view therapy as a safe space where clients can feel empowered to share their stories as they experience them. My primary goal as a clinician is not to “fix” you, my goal is to support you on your internal journey as you cultivate the skills necessary to grow and heal in a conducive manner. My function as a clinician is to help clients navigate and dissect their stories as a way to help them understand the meaning behind their experiences. I always encourage my clients to come to therapy as they are and we will begin the therapeutic process from there. I DO NOT work with MINORS, COUPLES, and FAMILIES.

I help my clients walk onto paths and lives that align with their own values. As a therapist and healer, my job is not to fix you, but to walk alongside you. I work with my clients to define what an aligned life looks like for them, then equip them with the tools to achieve it. No two clients are the same, and I use an eclectic approach, incorporating client feedback, to find what works best for each person. With every client, my goal is to eventually build a foundation of self-trust and emotional resilience that allows you to graduate from therapy. After working with me, my clients report a greater feeling of daily wellbeing.
