Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

We all encounter experiences in our lives which will challenge us, and sometimes cause us pain. Sometimes we are challenged by our relationships, previous trauma, bad experiences, depression or anxiety. We can make the choice to work through these events and grow even when things are hard and confusing. Our goal at Thrive Therapy Collective (TTC) is not only to provide a safe place for you to explore your struggles, but also to give you objective feedback and guidance to help you improve your life. Our trained therapists will work with you to create an approach to help you with your unique situation.

For many, life plagued with overwhelming thoughts and seemingly uncontrollable feelings can become draining and hopeless. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with a wide range of populations to increase insight to overcome the “stuck” feeling we can so easily fall into. Whether it is a recent challenge or long-standing difficulties, I will provide a space for you to feel understood and supported. My approach to therapy is often laidback and welcoming of humor. My goal is to incorporate as much "realness" as possible so that our work feels meaningful and progress feels attainable.

I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 117039 ), working under the supervision of Cristy Pareti, PsyD, LMFT. I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University and received my Bachelors Degree from Emerson College. My Clinical experience includes working with individuals whom struggle with anxiety, depression, life skills, substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma and interpersonal relationship difficulties.My modality is a mixture of of many psychological techniques as well as creative skills. This includes a blend of existentialism, mindfulness, humor, art and behavioral skills.

We are all doing the best we can and sometimes, we need help. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where you can safely and confidently explore what has happened, what is going on, and what you want. Awareness is power! Awareness = Choice = Change. I see individuals and folks in relationships. I work with most therapeutic concerns and am particularly passionate about assisting those whose issues and existence are often excluded from the dominant narrative, particularly Black women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and those in Interracial/Intercultural and/or Polyamorous/CNM relationships

Are you ready to create a life worth living? I can help you work through trauma and addiction and help you learn to manage anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders that may get in the way of your dreams. It can be difficult to share our deepest fears and injuries with others. I offer a safe, respectful space where we can work together to help you improve your daily life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy issues, infidelity/betrayal, addiction, and alcohol/substance abuse disorders. I am a sex-positive therapist who works with clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which can assist with resolving lingering effects of past traumatic memories. It can also lesson the hold of negativity and limiting beliefs and move you to a much healthier self-concept and higher self-esteem.

Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery that can often feel daunting to begin and my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I have always enjoyed the art of deep listening. I understood from a young age that opportunities to connect with others in these meaningful ways are a true gift are some of life's luxuries. People often gravitate towards relationships that feel safe and I've had the pleasure of being that somebody in clinic, school, and hospital settings.

Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future. Or perhaps you desperately want to be a good parent, but it seems like everything you have tried hasn't worked. If this is you, I would be honored to come alongside you and offer my assistance. It takes wisdom to recognize when a problem exists and courage to do something about it.

One of life's biggest challenges is living a life you want. I am trained in working with you to identify what that life looks like and to support you in making the necessary changes you need to get there. I believe that my role as a psychotherapist is to provide you with awareness into patterns in your life that no longer work for you but also be sensitive enough to your life and cultural experiences whereby you feel heard, understood and supported

No matter how hard you try to relax and stop worrying, you can't stop yourself from replaying the past and imagining "what-if" scenarios in the future. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my job is to help you find relief from the repetitive thoughts and overwhelming feelings that are sucking the joy from your life. We will work together to identify what is causing your distress and help you find more effective ways to cope.

The issues in life often leave us feeling alone, isolated, frustrated, and empty. By using mindfulness, I help you learn to cope and live a life that is centered and grounded in healthy choices; which, help mitigate these painful feelings. Make the call. Change your life. This is not an easy process, I agree, however, it is well worth it. Investing in your mental health is the single best choice you can make.

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, high sensitivity, loneliness, or life’s challenges, you don’t need to manage alone. My main priority is to offer hope, compassion, and to facilitate your desired growth. Let me help you gain insight and understanding, improve your relationships, learn ways to alleviate stress and anxiety, and experience a renewed enthusiasm for life. I work with all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for kids, teens, and young adults who are looking to better understand themselves. It would be my honor to collaborate with you or your child and help make this therapeutic journey one of meaningful change.

Do you find yourself mixed with emotions? Are repeating a cycle in your life and feel stuck? Often times people find themselves lost in unpleasant thoughts and feelings and it can become overwhelming. Therapy can be a journey of self-discovery and awareness that can help people overcome the challenges they experience.

I'm a licensed MFT in practice since 2008. I am fully trained in EMDR; I obtained EFT Externship certification for couple therapy; I also received DBT and CBT training for anxiety at BECK Institute. I'm familiar with intercultural issues affecting mental health. I have treated individuals and couples from many different backgrounds. I'm fluent in Taiwanese, Mandarin, and English.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, as well as interpersonal relationship difficulties. I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can explore what it means to heal. I believe this process takes time as childhood trauma, loss of self, and grief are often the sources of our pain and integrated into our ways of coping and sense of security.

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 am here to support you in life transitions, difficult times, feeling "stuck," unmotivated, and anxious. I understand the importance of being heard and validated for who you truly are. I am very eclectic in my approach and believe in "thinking outside the box" and listening in a nonjudgmental fashion. Let's work together! I enjoy working with people who are survivors of child abuse, suffer from low self-esteem, depression, PTSD, anxiety, relationships, going through life transitions and work stress.
