Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I am a specialist in grief, loss and trauma encompassing the entire spectrum of women's maternal mental health. I help women(and their partners) with healthy pregnancies, postpartum depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss, terminations and infertility - whether through stillbirth, miscarriage, late term loss, IVF/IUI failures, selective termination or pregnancy releases (aka abortion). Sadly, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and 1 in 8 will have trouble with conception. I blend psychology, ritual, spirituality, reiki, energy healing, guided meditations and more to help facilitate and support women, couples and families.

Are you ready to explore the blockages that may keep you stuck in maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns? What is keeping you from your life purpose? I am an EMDR Trauma informed therapist who believes in creating a collaborative space for healing, growing trust in self, and confronting the obstacles that block your path to peace, creativity and joy. In a supportive environment we will create pathways to access and fortify your uniqueness, unexplored talents, and healing, allowing you to blossom into the person you always imagined you could be.

Are you struggling with a poor connection with yourself? Are your inner thoughts around shame, guilt, judgment, and self-doubt affecting you physically? Therapy has played a crucial role in helping me gain self-awareness, confidence, and trust in myself. It has enabled me to identify my truths, embrace my authentic self, and step forward with courage. As my self-compassion increased, my mind and body connection started to harmonize, and self-regulation became easier. I believe that everyone has the potential to improve their mind-body connection, leading to a more fulfilling life and making more room for joy.

My name is Kendra, and I have a very informal approach to therapy. I enjoy laughing and commiserating with my clients and believe that they are best supported by a nonjudgmental therapist who truly cares about their well-being. I work from a strengths-based approach, and as a university professor, I love to connect science and research to help understand everyday issues. I hope to cultivate a space in which people can be their authentic selves and feel safe and supported as they do so.

My ideal client is one who is ready to do the work! Yes, if we do the work then life becomes an opportunity to love, live, and live life. One of my former clients who just happened to have been an Emmy and Tony award winner stated, "Siri has the formula." I have humbly bowed my head at the feet of several masters. Now is the time when I am being called to lovingly share what I have learned as I hopefully elevate others in the process.

If you have experienced trauma, you may feel that you "should be over it" by now, but are still struggling with the long-term impact of trauma, such as anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties. I work with people who have experienced all types of trauma, from big single events like an accident or a nature disaster, to stressful, repeated events that can cause life long emotional damage, like bullying or emotional abuse.

Therapy is all about self-acceptance and rediscovering yourself. In therapy with me, I will learn about you as you are your own self expert, you know yourself best. From there, we learn what has been working and not working for you. The relationship we build in therapy is essential to the effectiveness in your treatment. I also have experience in multicultural and biracial issues.

I believe everything in us, biologically, psychologically, and spiritually, is oriented toward survival. Survival of our surroundings, communities; survival of past experiences and present circumstances; survival of what might be. Survival is an awesome force constantly at work on our behalf. It's a resource working in our favor that deserves honor and respect. But here’s the thing- surviving is not thriving. Surviving is not necessarily healing. So many of us feel a call towards a better quality in our everyday experiences, relationships, and within ourselves and communities. We feel an internal movement towards thriving.

My approach is gentle but direct and I place importance on honesty and accountability. My work is focused on addressing current thoughts and behaviors through underlying issues as well as exploring how past experiences affect you and your current relationships. During our session, I work from a psychodynamic perspective while including Existential interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, and Family Systems concepts. My goal is to provide a safe space that facilitates change and growth, and a place that encourages healing. My hope is to leave you with skills that will better serve you in dealing with current life events and relationships.

Life is not without its challenges, including the challenge of finding a therapist who works best for you. I bring my authentic self into the room so you may get more in touch with yours. Utilizing empathy, humor, and compassion, I hope to foster a supportive environment in which you and I can develop a trusting, non-judgmental relationship. By doing so, we can work together to face issues such as: depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life’s many other stressors. I look forward to both of us getting to know you, and working collaboratively to confront whatever challenges bring you to therapy.

I work with all types of clients, but primarily "Type A" women who are familiar with the desire to control aspects in their lives. They long for deeper meaning in their careers. They want a true intimate partnership with a spouse/partner. They are tired of doing life alone. They are afraid time is running out and wonder if marriage and/or motherhood will be a possibility. They are seeking greater balance and peace within themselves, while at the same time, harnessing their innate power.

Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes, it can be confusing to even know why you feel this way or what's causing it, but you know that something just doesn't feel right anymore. Whether it's due to relationship issues, work stress, other life issues, or a combination of any/all of those, therapy can help provide relief and get you back to who you were/would like to be. This can mean looking to your past to help explain the present or identifying outdated roles and narratives that you are living by, which no longer serve you.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families live a life that affirms their values and aspirations through helping my clients understand how they are the way they are, how their pasts may continue to impact them, and what stands in the way of change. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, addiction, anxiety, and depression, and consider my clients’ interactions within relationships in order to help to foster meaningful connections with themselves and others. I look forward to speaking with you.

The healing process and journey towards an integrated self begins within the structure of a safe and trusting relationship with your therapist. I provide a non-judgmental therapeutic environment in order to facilitate your self-exploration and help you return to vitality. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, with a focus on emotional distress, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life transitions (i.e. divorce, new baby), trauma and substance abuse. I utilize a pragmatic yet holistic approach which integrates empathy, psychodynamic theory, mindfulness as well cognitive behavioral therapy to promote change towards wholeness and authenticity.

My name is Sheena Bergeron, LMFT. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy with children and adolescents using different modalities including TFCBT, EMDR, and DBT. I have primarily worked with youth with complex trauma leading to diagnoses such as PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Some common symptoms addressed have been suicidal ideation, self-harm, defiance, and high levels of irritability. I come from an attachment-focused approach when working with youth, as well as being client-centered.

It is truly my honor and privilege to work side by side with individuals as they overcome challenges and create the lives they desire. I utilize a friendly, collaborative, and down-to-earth approach in developing relationships with my clients. It has been proven that one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist. I lead with compassion, warmth, and humor and prioritize ensuring clients feel comfortable and at ease during sessions.
