Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
I approach psychotherapy as a co-creative alliance between client and therapist. I seek to create a safe, humorous and collaborative space for clients to explore their own ability to access greater insight, clarity and self-awareness. I gravitate towards humanistic, psychodynamic and in-depth psychology (Spiritual) approaches - while also tailoring each session to my client’s particular needs and strengths.

Clients that have had therapy or indulge in self help practices are great clients. Building self esteem, dealing with addiction issues, couples and family issues, single/ dating issues and mood disorders are areas i have worked in for many years. Additionally, i work with families and individuals dealing with autism. I prefer clients that are looking for interactive therapy with the therapist and are open to homework which helps embed what is being learned.

Do you feel pulled in too many directions? Are there times when you feel invisible, unheard, under appreciated or overwhelmed? You deserve some restorative stillness - a moment (or an hour) to tune in, to connect and be compassionate with yourself. Often, the experience of psychotherapy - reflecting on your life's events; establishing and nurturing your true self; discovering your hidden patterns - is a radical gesture of self care that can change the course of your life.

You don't have a knowledge problem. You know your patterns, you can name them, trace them to childhood, and explain your attachment style better than some therapists. And you're still stuck on a Tuesday night, doing the exact thing you swore you understood. That's not a failure of insight. Self-understanding and change run on different tracks, and the space between them is where I actually work.

You are smart. You've been working with these issues and if you could resolve them on your own you would have. You need a witness, an experienced guide to get you through this with compassion, empathy, clinical knowledge and a dose of good humor. Most clients are brought to therapy by some kind of transition that has arisen. A death, the loss of a relationship, a child going to college, artistic or professional challenges and blocks, a late diagnosis of ADHD/Autism, even anxiety and depression that are seemingly without reason. Consider me your Sherpa - I'm familiar with the terrain and I can get you to the other side.

My passion has always been people—deeply listening to and understanding the person in front of me. I have learned that each person comes to therapy with a unique set of experiences, feelings, strengths, and fears. Therefore, I use a variety of techniques tailored to each person’s specific circumstances. But what is always the same is the safe, non judgmental space that I seek to provide my clients. I value a collaborative approach in which we will explore your fears, anxieties, hopes, and dreams. Together we will identify unhelpful patterns, gain insight, and develop healthier coping strategies to achieve your goals.

Anxiety that won't shut off. Body image wounds that started in girlhood. Grief that doesn't follow a tidy script. I specialize in working with high-functioning people in California who look fine on paper but feel like something's quietly unraveling underneath.
You're spiraling at midnight because someone left your text on “seen,” sucking in your stomach when your partner spoons you, or crying in the frozen aisle at Trader Joe's because Fleetwood Mac came on and you suddenly miss your mom. My PhD research focused on women's relationships with their bodies, and I've spent 14 years sitting with clients in exactly this kind of mess.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
