Our past experiences can shape how we feel and act in the present. What was once an adaptive strategy to survive can now leave you stuck and miserable. You might feel like, even though you know better you continue to engage in the same patterns. I can help you develop insight into how your past shapes your present, and I can help you interrupt destructive patterns to feel more at ease, authentic, and agentic. In addition to helping folks understand the origins of their suffering, I also help people build the capacity to turn toward struggles with compassion. I believe that as we tend to our wounds, profound healing can occur.

I can help you understand the value of words when we are trying to communicate our needs, to find constructive ways to deal with the inevitable disappointments we encounter, and to attend to the effects of addiction and recovery in our lives and relationships.
I’m Neysa, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing virtual therapy in Los Angeles and in-person support in Basalt, Aspen, and beyond.

Therapy can bring back pleasures in life you once found enjoyable, improve communications with your spouse, family members, or colleagues, and help you experience a more productive, satisfying, and healthier lifestyle.
I bring 27 years of dedication to this industry, providing clients with a warm, safe, non-judgmental space. My expertise includes addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss.

I’m thrilled to work with anyone eager to view life from a fresh perspective, whether you're a couple, a family, or just ready for a new outlook.
I firmly believe that while we can experience feelings and emotions, they don’t have to define us. How we handle these challenging moments often determines our success and inner peace. When you feel stuck and unable to see your options clearly, an outside perspective can be invaluable. Together, we can rewrite your story and forge new paths that suit you. In essence, we will work together to help you become the main character of your narrative once more.

My specializations for individuals and couples are varied and include anxiety & depression; perfection-seeking & self-esteem; recreational substance use/abuse; addiction & recovery; the pleasure & perils of social media; body image; sexually compulsive behavior; externalized & internalized homophobia; career stress; and unaligned libidos within couples.
While some clients seek therapy for a “cure,” I offer care. I am often in awe of clients’ willingness to look inward, as this allows us to discover what defenses are no longer serving you—and what may be demanding your emotional attention. Finding the right therapist can seem daunting; I remember feeling confused and overwhelmed in my 20s when I began my own therapy. Also, health insurance coverage can be confusing: I am an "outside provider" which means I do not work directly with any insurance companies. Yet I will walk you through the insurance process to make certain that you receive the reimbursement you are entitled to.

Once we have safety in our relationship, I will gently push you to go deeper and look where you might not be seeing.
I primarily work with men who feel stuck. This "stuckness" often relates to a life stage, a a search for meaning, a difficult relational moment, or a loss that needs to be carefully worked through. Shame, which most men are socialized around, often stands in the way of getting support in these moments. Shame is often the wall that I help dissolve with my clients so that insight, joy, and adventure can naturally happen.

Having both degrees in medicine and psychology helped me to create a holistic approach which incorporates science, soul, and body. During our work together I will gently guide you towards the goals you want to achieve as well as explore and release all the difficulties you have on the way. My mission is to show my clients that everything they want is possible and there is always a way to feel happy and satisfied with your life. It is true that sometimes we go through a lot of challenges that can make us feel hopeless or desperate, and we think it is impossible to get better.

For greater than 20 years, I have enjoyed working with a number of culturally and diagnostically diverse adults and couples to address their specific needs including acculturation problems, relationship distress, anxiety, and depression, and have integrated a variety of interventions that would best serve them.
As we all have heard, "Life is a journey." Therefore, as with any "road trip," once in a while we may need to stop, check our path, and refuel before continuing onward. As a practicing clinical psychologist, I am committed to working with my clients to help them explore a variety of life paths and detours in order for them to reach their destinations and achieve subjectively important, and oftentimes difficult to achieve goals.

There are many pressures from society to perform a certain way, to achieve certain things by particular time frames, and to think like the group. But what if we don't? Does that mean we can't be a part of society? We all feel lonely and marooned on weirdo island sometimes. Truly understanding ourselves and how we want to live our lives can sometimes feel like a far-fetched fantasy. However, figuring out who we are isn't something that we have to do alone.

If you locate yourself within polyamorous, kinky, queer/trans, or anti-capitalist orientations, then you already know the ways normativity disciplines bodies, desires, and relationality. The costs of stepping outside dominant scripts are often high, especially when your modes of embodiment or intimacy are cast as deviant or disordered. At The Normative Exit Clinic, we recognize that “health” is not synonymous with “normal,” and that freedom is rarely granted—it must be authored.
Living at the edges of what’s socially sanctioned isn’t a pathology; it’s often a deeply conscious and courageous stance.
