Veterans Therapists in Glassell Park, Los Angeles, CA

Hi there, I'm Jeannine! My name is Jeannine Colwell and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ( LMFT) based in San Diego, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with teens, adults, law enforcement, military, and veterans and specialize in anxiety, depression, anger management, substance use addiction, sports, coaching, etc. using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, coping skills, coaching, to help my clients make progress and start feeling awesome again. My focus is all about you and meeting you where you are at! Looking forward to meeting you!

Anxiety, trauma, shame, depression, grief, a lack of meaning in life - these are some of the issues that I strive to help people work through. My goal is to create a safe container in which you can explore your emotions and relationship issues without judgment. I am deeply committed to supporting you on your journey toward self-awareness, healing, and growth. I work with adults, couples and teens from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and collaborate with clients to tailor our sessions to the unique needs of each individual.

Our clients are smart, capable people struggling despite their best efforts. They have held themselves together just well enough for years, but then they reach a tipping point and know they need the help of an expert. We help them better understand themselves and how to get what they need out of life. We offer in-person and virtual sessions for individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and ADHD assessments.

I primarily work with artists and creatives struggling with stress, worry, sadness, or painful histories. We explore how unique professional and personal experiences intersect to create a complex past and present. By working through the past and clarifying the needs of the present, we can help you reach a more fulfilling future - one in which you feel more connected with your creativity, the important people in your life, and most of all - with yourself.

Welcome, time traveler. Does anxiety throw you into the future (and it is never a future you actually want)? Do you find yourself catastrophizing, mentally preparing for atrocities that are not likely to occur? Do shame and guilt, pull you back in time with old negative beliefs that weren’t yours to begin with? Do hyper vigilant parts of you, show up as flashbacks, nightmares or dissociation? Do these too keep you in the past? Kurt Vonnegut’s famous science fiction novel, “Slaughter House-five,” describes a soldier in the war zone becoming “unstuck in time.” This is what trauma feels like for many people, HSPs and non HSPs alike.

I hold space for individual adults, couples, children, and adolescents. From depression and anxiety, to life transitions, addiction, identity and relationship problems, I start wherever the client is and work collaboratively towards understanding. Whatever the obstacles between a client and their sense of meaning, purpose, authenticity or alignment, I help them move towards growth and change. I bring awareness and sensitivity to systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect us all in different ways, and I respect the inherent wisdom of my clients' psyches to strive towards wholeness.

Struggling with relationship or dating anxiety? Do your own needs take a backseat for others? Maybe you're exhausted from the whiplash of ADHD - or maybe you're in a mix of all of this and looking for grounded, compassionate guidance to help you navigate? Helping people find pragmatic solutions, sharpen their intuition, and cultivate insight and emotional clarity is my passion; and ADHD, relationship anxiety, and codependency are my areas of expertise.

Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time. Balancing your personal needs with the expectations of others, while essential to developing healthy relationships, can make you feel lost and without direction. You shouldn't walk that path alone. Psychotherapy can help you understand your place in the world and how to be in relationships with others without losing yourself.

I am a queer nonbinary therapist who specializes in working with three niches of clients. 1) trans kids & teens and their families. 2) adults struggling with grief around chronic illness, pain, & disability and 3) queer couples counseling. Art therapy, EMDR, somatic work, and psychedelic-assisted-therapy (with the adults) can be game-changers. I offer mental health counseling & art therapy in WA, OR, and art therapy in California. Contact me for more infor on EMDR and KAP or read my website.

I’m passionate about serving women seeking love-love of self, love of others, and knowing it in their bones. I love helping women to learn to nurture themselves, accept they are important and that caring for and healing themselves is a political act of resistance and decolonization. I often work with First Gen women. Exploring what parents (from around the world) brought with them- traditions or practices, ways of thinking, or maybe intergenerational trauma can resonate. With some people we'll do a deep dive into changes to your lifestyle. Seeking therapy is a strength, an act of courage, a journey inward, outward, and forward.

Through individual therapy, couples therapy, and ADHD testing, I can you help you connect with what matters most to you. If you're feeling lost in your own life or have prioritized others over yourself for too long, let’s tackle the roots of how you got here, learn to value your worth, and develop strategies to improve the quality of your connection to yourself and others.

“I have a deep belief in treating the whole human being and not just the symptom whether it be physical, psychological or spiritual. Both my skill as a therapist and my knowledge of East/ West Psychology aids me in providing essential knowledge and techniques for clients to affect change. I have been in the fields of therapy and mindfulness meditation for the last 20 years and in that time I have focused on integrating what works for those clients I have served. My work is informed by over two decades of exploration into the heart and mind. From the monasteries of Asia to the lecture halls of cutting edge American Universities.

Hello! My name is Christine Perry, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe treatment should be as unique as each individual, therefor my approach is very client/person centered and strength based. This gives us the opportunity to utilize your needs to create a space in which you can heal and grow. I have experience working with young children, adolescent, adults, families, and caregivers with a variety of concerns ranging from stage of life to severe impairment of daily life.

Life comes with daily challenges, hurdles and changes that can sometimes be tough to get through. There may be times that you begin to lose control. This is where I step in; to help you figure out and get through this thing called life. The care that I take with each client is to ensure that you feel that you are in a safe and nurturing environment always. My genuine empathy for every individual has afforded me the privilege of guiding my clients through difficult times in their lives and seeing them through the not so bright days.

Relationships our the bedrock of our existence. I believe they are why we get up in the morning. I work with individuals, couples and families to restore and transform relationships with themselves and each other. When we aren't feeling enough, anxious or down our relationship with ourselves and others suffer. Together we look to create meaning and understanding of our feelings as well as learn ways through our therapeutic relationship to be truly yourself, a person or a couple or family with greater intimacy.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in Trauma focused CBT and Functional Family Systems,for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems therapy.

"With almost 20 years clinical experience, I specialize in providing treatment tailored for individuals and couples who recognize that there is something interfering with their ability to function or enjoy their daily life. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I help my patients identify their immediate needs and their long-term goals. I work with both the first-time therapy patient as well as with those that have experience in the therapeutic process. I believe that we desire purpose and connection. I assist in exploring life's choices to improve clarity, relationships and an overall state of well-being."

Are you looking to solve the problem you have been having within your family? I am here to help you get the support you’ve been looking for to improve your relationships. Help with the fights at home about homework. Help getting your child to do what they are told the first time. Help with a transition to a new stage of life. I've always gravitated towards working with youth and young adults with the highest needs because that is where I have seen I've been most effective as a therapist.

Most people need help at various times in their lives navigating difficult experiences. My approach is collaborative, action-oriented and positive with individuals and couples. When relevant, I incorporate somatic (body) approaches, including EMDR and Brainspotting modalities to working with anxiety, phobias, trauma and other issues. My practice also includes the option of "walking and talking" outdoors. I am influenced by IFS / IFIO (parts work), self-compassion, feminist, and polyvagal approaches. I help clients connect more deeply with the past and address barriers to well-being in the present.
