Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

Hi there, I'm Jeanette Buller, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Jeanette's approach to therapy includes seeing you as a whole person, taking into account who you are now and the version of yourself you wish to achieve. Together, we will work on strategies to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful connections to what is most important for you. I look forward to hearing your story and connecting with you in our therapy session.

A warm hello to you! I’m glad you’re exploring the possibility of engaging in therapy. It is remarkable what can come from intentionally, regularly setting aside time to invest in healing and growth. Perhaps a transition has come upon you and you are looking to find your new equilibrium. Or perhaps you have been feeling somewhat stuck and desire to initiate a transition. Together, we can create changes towards greater peace and thriving in your life and relationships.

Many times humans hear what is being said to them, but they seldom listen to the information. I take pride in my ability to both listen and hear what you share with me. I believe attuning with my clients is important and helps foster a healthy relationship in a safe space. It does not stop at words, I find that mindfulness connects your words to what your body is trying to communicate as well. Through my work with clients, I have seen clients grow, overcome challenges, and break through walls of anxiety, anger, resentment, and stagnation. 

Are you feeling lost? Or maybe out of control, burned out, stuck, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

With care, knowledge, and passion, I help my clients achieve the meaningful changes they seek. From the first session, my clients say they feel lighter, happier, and empowered for change. I balance warmth and empathy with extensive education, experience, expertise. Focusing on solutions, strengths, and evidence-based tools, we take concrete steps to enrich lives and relationships, blending therapeutic modalities for conscious-unconscious mind, mindfulness, meaning.

Thank you for considering a new therapeutic relationship. These are unique times that have brought many different stressors to an already chaotic world. Please value your self-care at this time and feel free to reach out if you need psychological support or guidance. My clients typically include those who are seeking a long-term therapeutic relationship, as well as those who are hoping to address a specific issue in a limited time. I utilize an integrated, tailored approach. Always kind, supportive and non-judgmental, I will also provide direct feedback needed to facilitate change.

Do you yearn for change and deeper connections? Are you prepared to embrace your pain and accept the invitation to unveil a more whole, liberated, and empowered self? I'm here as your guide on the transformative journey back to yourself. In our collaborative work, we'll delve into your inner life, unravel limiting patterns and beliefs, and foster a mind-body connection. From this more present, embodied space, life's challenges evolve into opportunities for growth and transformation. Together, we'll plant the seeds for a new vision of your life.

The fabric of our lives is interwoven to create a tapestry that is unique to our experiences. At times, some of those experiences can feel overwhelming and confusing to make sense of. Therapy is a highly creative process that allows for weaving in and expanding upon parts of the tapestry, to provide a more robust and multidimensional landscape. So often, we hide parts of ourselves that feel unacceptable and intolerable to others. Together, we can be curious and inviting, creating a space for all of these parts of yourself to be present so that you can foster better relations with yourself and others.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, our approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". we strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. We specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

Establishing a trusting relationship and working collaboratively with our clients is our primary goal. My name is Samantha Markman and I have hand selected a team of excellent therapists with various specialties. We strive to create a therapeutic space of comfort and support, as we work with you to explore deep personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking. We work with a wide range of clients that are dealing with various issues including depression, anxiety, infidelity, postpartum issues, addictive behaviors, LGBT issues, eating disorders, codependency, grief and loss, life transitions, and various types of trauma.

Do you repeat the same patterns in relationships? And, why? I deal with defenses against intimacy and how these conflicts get in the way of forming deep and meaningful relationships. In the consultation room, I work with my patient to help unfold the story of what got created in the past, and how early patterns from the past get repeated in present relationships. My here and now relationship with the patient is the most important dynamic to analyze, understand and then to work through early conflicts. This deep approach to treatment allows for change and growth.

You are many things to the people in your life. You are a spouse/partner, parent, child, friend, and working professional. Who are you to yourself? Are you your harshest critic? You don’t have to be. You don’t have to be anxious, worried, unhappy, sad, depressed, lonely, or overwhelmed. You can take time for yourself without guilt. You don’t have to suffer alone and you can grow into the person you were meant to be. Let’s get to the truth of who you are and what you want in a professional, safe, and supportive environment.

Do you feel like you are at a crossroads and wondering "where do I go from here?" It can be daunting to explore the places that scare you but deciding to do so is often the road to liberation. I work with individuals and couples who are stuck and looking for a way forward. Relationships, both with ourselves and with others, can be complex and we often become complacent and used to "the way things are." If you are here, you probably have a sense that something needs to change. I encourage you to trust yourself and give me call. I offer a free phone consultation.

If you've become lost amongst obstacles on your journey, I'd like to help guide you to more happiness by offering suggestions, uncovering unwanted patterns, and leading you from the past to the present in order to heal and evolve, enhancing your happiness. Through changes in perceptions/attitudes and being willing to see situations with a new pair of glasses, you can reach your goals and evolve. My clients report that they enjoy my down-to-earth attitude and humor and my use of Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, TRM, meditation and yoga to treat mind-body symptoms. I work best with clients who are motivated to gain self-awareness and see patterns that are no longer serving them. I give homework between sessions in order to keep the continuity of healing working consistently. I feel very blessed to be working in a field that serves people who are finding their best selves and evolving into the people they want to be.
