Therapists in Brentwood, Los Angeles, CA

I teach couples powerful tools and give homework. My background is in Positive Psychology. People describe me as warm, down-to-earth and they say I have a good sense of humor. I think couples therapy should be uplifting -- and show results. I help all kinds of couples: married and unmarried, straight, gay, and couples soon to marry. I'm dedicated to helping couples overcome their problems. I'm even-handed and I find solutions. (And on a personal note, I've been happily married for 30 years). I combine Positive Psychology, CBT, mindfulness, Gottman, and the best of contemporary psychology. I taught in the medical school at UCLA.

Right now you may be in need and suffering? The body has a deep intelligence and sometimes our attention is required to feel well again. Take a moment to notice that you're breathing. When you're ready take two or three long deep breaths. You have more control than you think.

Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every client is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where clients can attain new insights, experience new feelings, and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

Life can be very difficult and relationships can be the source of much joy, but also of much pain. Talking about your problems with a non-judgmental, understanding, caring, and well-trained professional can help with life's questions, pain, and problems. I enjoy using a collaborative approach to help people find their own meanings. I specialize in working with young adults facing life's transitions and the accompanying feelings, fears, and decisions. I will work with you to process challenges with relationships and work through feelings of fear, uncertainty, and loneliness.

I've been guiding patients and couples toward emotional well-being for over 25 years. Kindness, compassion, and a capacity for deep listening allows for the co-creation of a secure therapeutic alliance, and an emotionally satisfying relationship. Together we'll identify interpersonal difficulties and negative emotional patterns. Building upon your unique individual history, we'll construct a coherent personal narrative that brings meaning and understanding to your life. This enriching relational process enables you to adapt to life's challenges, become emotionally resilient, and deeply connect with yourself and others.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, a life transition, family/parenting concerns, or other mental health issues, we are all trying to better understand ourselves and break free of our limiting patterns and beliefs. My approach to therapy involves a strong foundation in formal therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, family systems, and others, while at the same time recognizing that you are the expert of your own life, and it is through the therapeutic process that you will come to gain valuable insights, recognize your potential, and enhance your capacity for self-love.

I appreciate your interest in psychotherapy and commend your effort in finding a therapist. It is an important step to take towards feeling better.

I work collaboratively with my clients, and am supportive and dedicated to their increased well being. My approach to therapy is to be genuine, open and honest, supportive, and curious.

The toll of trauma, stress, anxiety, & depression builds over time, things that once seemed manageable turn into a life that's not our own, because we're stuck in survival mode. It's exhausting. As a therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you to safely navigate your inner landscape and put pieces together so you can uncover your unique abilities and create a mental health toolkit that will carry you through a lifetime. I am here to support you in working through unresolved feelings and conflicts and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

I use an integrative approach including attachment-based work, DBT, CBT, IFS, and mindfulness, bringing in each as needed. Above all, I strive to hold space and empathy for your life experience.

Are you grappling with anxiety, depression, OCD, or attention-related challenges? I’m a nationally recognized expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), the research-based treatment of choice for quickly and effectively treating depression, anxiety, and related problems. If you're in search of a personalized and collaborative therapeutic journey, I'm here to help you. My commitment as a psychologist is to understand your unique needs and collaborate with you to provide you with the most effective therapy science has to offer.

I know that finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and I hope to help you along that journey. My name is Tannaz and I am deeply passionate about all things mind-body wellness. My practice focuses on working with young adults, health professionals, and couples and my work is centered around improving emotional and relational health. I strive to provide high quality therapeutic services that are holistic and individualized and I specialize in challenges relating to anxiety (i.e. OCD, panic attacks, social anxiety), self-esteem, professional identity development, and dating.

I provide a safe and secure environment to explore experiences, gain insight and awareness to reach your goals. I believe that we all possess the necessary tools to overcome the challenges, difficulties, or changes in our lives. Often we struggle to find the tools we need in challenging times. I can assist you in recognizing and creating your tools in order for you to be successful in your life’s journey.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

Being a human is hard! Managing relationships (familial, romantic, platonic, professional) with all kinds of different personalities, feeling comfortable and confident in our careers, finding healthy and lasting love, and feeling good about ourselves through it all can feel like an impossible task. We were never given a manual on how to do this! And while, as humans, we are incredibly resilient and have somehow found a way to get this far, some of the coping mechanisms we have developed throughout our lives may not be serving us anymore. I help clients gain insight into their thoughts & behaviors to help improve their outcomes.

I treat several types of people: those with Depression (especially the treatment-resistant type); Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); Substance Use Disorder (SUD); and those engaged with existential considerations (meaning, purpose, drive). In many cases - even including those with SUD - the addition of Ketamine can bring about successful changes many have found elusive.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or uncertain? Are you feeling unhappy in your relationships? Are you feeling stressed? No longer have clear vision of what you desire? Feeling unable to cope? Are you feeling there is a lack of focus in your life? Do you feel that your career or relationships are stagnant or disintegrating? Are you feeling uncertain about your future? I offer a full range of psychotherapy services to meet your unique needs. Finding the right therapist is an important part of reaching out for help.
