Female Therapists in Mid Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA

My practice is grounded in my firm belief of the transformative power of therapy. I feel that the role of a therapist is to help empower you to change. I work with clients towards self-understanding, growth, and finding their path to their authentic self.

Are you overwhelmed with life? Do you want to pursue your purpose with a peaceful mind without resorting to medications? I help you discover your unique spiritual path to complete, emotional healing. I help determined, purposeful women live the courageous life they were designed for. I can help you clear the ruts and unhealthy patterns so that you could live the life you were meant to live in a natural, holistic way!

Would you like to let go of concerns about your weight and body image? Is emotional eating one of your primary coping mechanisms? Many women , across the life span, struggle with issues around food, their bodies, and self confidence. Stress, all-or-nothing thinking, and perfectionism, among other issues, can all get in the way of living more fully. I work holistically with women , as I believe that all aspects of our lives, from sleep and nutrition to relationships or past trauma, are integrally related. We will work together to develop the insight, skills, and tools you'll need to achieve your goals.

I work with a variety of individuals in private practice in a collaborative and creative manner to find new language and meaning in context to clients' lives. In an always respectful, compassionate and often times lighthearted manner, I aim to find strengths and supports to weave new narratives. Though I work with a diverse population, at present I'm interested in: -Men, especially men who may not have experienced many platforms to discuss their internal world and its complexities - POC Couples -Immigrant stories (children of immigrants, adults that were immigrant children, etc) -Step parenting- 30s/40s age range

My approach to therapy focuses on establishing a warm, trusting relationship with my clients to help us explore deep personal issues. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, trauma, addictive behaviors, co-dependency, and life transitions. In my approach I use psycho-dynamic and solution-focused approaches to help dislodge old behavioral patterns and emphasize the importance of how our previous relationships impact our present. In therapy we will look to find meaning in our present-day challenges, experiment with new ways of thinking and seek resolution.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, to sort things out--especially when you're confused or feel stuck. I offer a safe space for you to get to the bottom of what's going on and get clearer about what you want, who you are and who you want to be.

Always client centered, I work to clarify my client's values and improve feelings of personal effectiveness. Oftentimes we get caught in a negative feedback loop that allows the past dictate our future. Or, we need help learning new tools to become our own best resource when managing life's challenges. Utilizing an integrative solutions-oriented approach to therapy, my goal is to build client self-efficacy and resources, so that they can live their own best life.

If you identify as Poly/Non-monogamous, Kinky/fetishistic, Queer/Trans, or Anti-capitalist you already know the tyrannical way normativity polices “others” who deviate from conventional cultural scripts. Even more so when your preferred expressions of intimacy and embodiment are deemed “problematic”. I do not equate “healthy” with “normal”, nor aim to be prescriptive about how you “ought“ to experience being in this world. Living along the fringes of normativity isn’t an easy choice. But it can be a worthy choice, fulfilling and purposeful! Yet it may also be accompanied by high costs that feel compromising to dignity & self-worth.

I specialize in working with trauma survivors. For the past ten years, I have been providing therapy to survivors of abusive relationships/domestic violence, sexual abuse, and adult women and men who were molested as children. I am certified in EMDR, an integrative psychotherapy treatment for processing of traumatic memories and adverse experiences and bringing them to an adaptive resolution. I am curious about who my clients are and what each of them needs; I see them as experts of their experiences and I feel honored to be a part of a mutual exploration of their self.

As a proud member of a large family of powerful women , I have come to believe that investing in women means investing overall in community wellness and wholeness. I consider it a part of my higher calling to provide high quality mental health care for all genders, and especially for BIPOC women . I support clients navigating challenges such as Anxiety, PTSD, Women ’s Issues, and Minority Stress. All at the same time we are individuals, partners, family members, neighbors, employees and employers, community members, etc. Our work together is to help integrate your individual healing with your lived experience navigating the real world.

I have a passion to help women succeed in all aspects of their lives. If you would like to find a good-fit career, or develop your personal and professional skills, and would like to lead a more enriching life, a career counselor/life coach can help!

As a queer Asian woman , I know how difficult it is to find a therapist who just gets you and doesn’t give you the burden of educating them about your already marginalized culture. I’m here to make that process a little easier for you and your loved ones. I work with couples who come from LGBTQIA+ and/or Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, especially those who struggle with sex, intimacy, trust, and communication issues with their partners. I also work with individuals who have experienced relational trauma and/or religious trauma due to queer identities or other life events.

I see you over there, checking me out. Hi! My name is Lisa. My passion for helping people kicked into high gear after experiencing Alzheimer’s of a grandparent and meeting families with ill children when volunteering at Children’s Hospital of L.A. We all need a little help now and then and nobody should feel ashamed to ask for it. I love meeting clients’ “furry children” since pets are a wonderful emotional support – I have two. I enjoy sweets (guilty pleasure – we all have one), I believe in self-care (yoga, meditation, walks outside and playing music) and love comedy since laughter helps!

I work with women who are deeply challenged by their emotions, lack of balance in their lives, are stressed out. Some feel like outsiders, feel alienated or like no one understands them. I love first timers to therapy. I enjoy working with "empaths", "introverts", highly sensitive people, artists, professionals, caregivers, entrepreneurs, other healthcare and healing arts professionals and women from all walks of life. They often seek self compassion, want to know themselves on a deeper level, and want to learn self love. We focus on uncovering and shedding light on their strengths, wellness, and their true, authentic selves.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are. My priority is creating a safe space where authentic and vulnerable collaboration can nurture positive change. I believe that while all individuals possess the ability to be healthy and happy, sometimes life events, obstacles or unhealthy patterns cause us to lose confidence in our ability to achieve our goals. The right support can elevate hope and get us back on track.

My mission is to empower girls and women to face life’s opportunities and challenges in ways that foster resilience and enrich their interpersonal relationships and communities. I work with adolescents, young adults, pregnant and new parents, and early career professionals as they face social and academic pressures, navigate difficult relationships, and develop an identity that is authentic to their values and beliefs. I help clients learn to handle painful thoughts and emotions effectively, and I walk alongside them as they clarify what’s truly important and meaningful to them.

Hi, I'm Melissa! I help creatives and women of color understand themselves and others better, achieve a higher quality of life, and level up, both personally and professionally.

 I love helping my clients move from feelings of fear, self-doubt, and hopelessness to power and self-love. Together we’ll identify your goals, then, at your own pace, we'll go deep to investigate conscious and unconscious patterns of behavior and ways of thinking that may be keeping you stuck. I also once struggled with imposter syndrome and perfectionism, so my motivation to see you evolve, grow, and live abundantly comes from a personal place.

I help capable and caring gen-z and millennial women and couples to exchange patterns of anxiety, codependency, and burnout for more joy-centered, aligned, and connected lives. You care a lot and can handle a lot. But you are finding all of the roles, relationships, and expectations are overwhelming. From the outside it looks like everything is okay, but you know that you are disengaged, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself and your relationship, and on the edge of burnout. It may even feels like your life isn’t even your own, just run by expectations. I help you to move from disengagement and overwhelm to connection and ease.

Exploring your life in partnership with a dedicated therapist can be a remarkable gift to yourself. I can help you gain insight into unhelpful patterns and difficulties in your life, and support you in realizing your hopes and goals. I view symptoms not merely as problems that need to be “fixed”; instead I seek to help you uncover their deeper causes. Problems then become opportunities for renewal and positive change. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of a successful therapeutic outcome. My goal is to provide a safe and collaborative environment in which lasting change and healing become possible.
