Lila Galustian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in Los Angeles, CA. Lila enjoys helping clients who have issues with emotional distress and self-esteem, which can lead to relationship conflicts or challenges at work. Her clients also find themselves unable to trust others, stemming from feelings of guilt, anxiety, self-doubt, shame, or fear of abandonment. Her clients are primarily men and women who might have received diagnoses of borderline personality disorder or can experience traits of the disorder leading them to want to find ways to improve their mental health and their overall quality of life.

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or frustrated much of the time? Are your relationships plagued by conflict and miscommunication? Or, do you feel like you’ve lost direction in life? You are not alone. The demands and stresses of modern life are challenging to navigate, and it’s easy to get off track. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I help people build healthy relationships, work through painful break-ups, improve their social interactions and reduce their anxiety. If you are looking for clarity on your situation, struggling in a difficult relationship, worrying a great deal about upsetting others, feeling confused or overwhelmed, I can help. Particularly, if you or someone in your life identifies with traits of Narcissistic or Borderline Personality Disorder, I can help you cope, whether it's you or your loved one suffering from these symptoms.

Reaching out for help is one of the most humbling experiences we can go through in life. In a world that is constantly pushing narratives on us based on race, gender, sexuality and/or dominant cultural beliefs, it is life-affirming to engage preferred narratives that support and empower our own values. In difficult times it is easy to feel misunderstood or lost, longing to reconnect with our own resources. My work aims for those reconnections. My approach is collaborative, working from a place of respectful curiosity. I am not the expert on your lived experience. You are.

In finding a therapist, it's important to feel heard, respected, and understood and to feel confident that that person has the expertise and skills to help you. I invite you to meet with me to see if I am the right therapist for you. I provide effective high-quality therapy through a multidimentional approach; this means that you will develop greater awareness of your struggles while being provided with direct and practical guidance to feel better and improve your life as quickly as possible.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut? It happens to the best of us and it certainly does not have to last forever. Feelings of stress, confusion, anxiety and depression are part of life; but when they last too long, or when they interfere with work and relationships, it may be time to get some support. Everyone can relate to the feeling of being in a 'funk' and not quite knowing how to shake it. Therapy can be a powerful catalyst to QUICKLY get your back on your feet and feeling like yourself again. Dr. Angel Faith's goal is to provide support and help you master the skills necessary to get you feeling better as quickly as possible!

I have had over 25 years experience working with children, adults and their families on both the East and West Coasts. I was born and raised in New York City, and have had professional experience in New York, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Seattle. My special expertise includes child development, populations with special needs (learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, developmental disabilities, and autism), and services for families who are engaged in high conflict divorce. I am here to help you, and if your family needs help, work with the issues life brings us.

Always client centered, I work to clarify my client's values and improve feelings of personal effectiveness. Oftentimes we get caught in a negative feedback loop that allows the past dictate our future. Or, we need help learning new tools to become our own best resource when managing life's challenges. Utilizing an integrative solutions-oriented approach to therapy, my goal is to build client self-efficacy and resources, so that they can live their own best life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with adults and couples. Within the context of a unique therapeutic relationship, you can be deeply honest and explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and experiences. This can help improve your self-esteem, relationships, work life, and creativity. Successful treatment hinges on the match between therapist and patient. I hope I can help you. Please call me for a free phone consultation so we can decide if I am the right person to help to you.

Over the past year we have experienced a pandemic, economic crisis, uprising against racial injustice and political instability. This is collective trauma. You may also be grieving the loss of a loved one, experiencing job loss, isolation, relationship difficulties or other challenges of day-to-day living that leave you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Therapy can help. Whether you need help making a change, are grieving a loss, struggling to communicate with loved ones, or are just feeling stuck, I can help you find creative solutions to not only cope and survive, but thrive during these difficult times.

I work with individuals and couples on enhancing relationships with one's self and with others. I create a warm and collaborative environment in order to foster insight and awareness about your areas of concern and to create desired change. I specialize in relationship concerns including: creating and maintaining satisfying interpersonal relationships, coping with feelings that arise as a result of the ending of relationship and healing from divorce. I also focus on developing improved communication and assertiveness skills to help achieve a greater sense of connection and intimacy in your existing and future relationships.

It can feel increasingly challenging to maintain a healthy mood these days. Much of the information we navigate is designed to goad our fear of the future or regrets from our past. Practicing Mindfulness is a bridge to the present moment. It can help rinse that fear and regret from our thinking so we can focus on what's actually happening. In this way, it can help us consider the things we actually have some control over and make better choices for our own wellbeing.

Are you a survivor of trauma? Are you a BIPOC/POC (person of color), LGBTQIA+, immigrant or 1st-generation American in your 20s, 30s, or 40s? Do you feel lost, hopeless, anxious, or isolated, like no one "sees" you for ALL of who you are? Do/did you have narcissistic or borderline parents - and trouble living up to their (or your) perfectionist standards? Do you often feel "not good enough," "bad," ashamed, guilty, or unworthy of love? Do anxiety, depression, chronic, negative thinking, or self-defeating patterns hold you back or prevent you from moving forward and living a life you want /deserve to live?

I am a licensed psychologist as well as a licensed marriage and family therapist with over thirty years of experience in treating children, teens and adults. I use a practical approach in helping people and also realize that the relationship that we create is the foundation for change. I enjoy the model of the scientist/ practitioner and I incorporate my review of the research coupled with "what works." Additionally, I find a sense of humor often is helpful in tackling life's issues.

What is it about yourself or your life that seems problematic? It may be that you are subject to anxiety or a depression that is too absorbing, it may be that you lack the sort of confidence in your abilities to find the right way to find direction: or it may be that you feel something is missing in your life, be it an intimate relation with another or the right sort of vocation.

(Individuals, Couples & Groups) My practice is a collaborative endeavor where you will develop awareness & gain insight about yourself, your relationships, and the obstacles preventing you from leading a satisfying & productive life. It is through our relationships that growth and healing take place. My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging, and meaningfully challenging setting for you to process and re-frame your issues whether they are personal or professional. You will learn how to self regulate, cultivate mindfulness, identify your needs, and gather tools to restore your capacity for intimacy, love, and happiness.

I offer therapy grounded in psychoanalysis and attachment theory. In practice, I gently and collaboratively follow clients as they explore past and present dynamics, fantasies, and manifestations of the unconscious. I do this all the while holding in the present the possibility for the emergence of an entirely new and transformative experience. Somatic expressions and symptoms in the body hold a wealth of therapeutic potential. In following the body, we work to uncover and address trauma, but also find unrecognized sources of vitality.
