Life Coaching Therapists in Mid Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA

My approach blends years of experience with natural compassion, humor and insight. I'm not a passive therapist. I'm interactive in sessions, using a holistic, relational approach with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamic and narrative. I've spent twenty years working with adults and adolescents with issues from anxiety and depression to bipolar and PTSD. I help individuals and families develop emotional strength, clarity and confidence. I join with you to explore patterns, identify goals, and learn skills to facilitate growth and recognize potential for change.

You've taken the first step in addressing the barriers preventing you from living your life to the fullest. Individual therapy can be a beneficial experience as we navigate difficult times in your personal life including work, home, and family. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment to embark on self exploration and the development of individual techniques used to overcome depression, anxiety, trauma and life adjustments.

We believe the role of a therapist is to help you achieve clarity and balance so that you can move forward through life with strength, joy, and purpose. ​We have a team of therapists that are interactive and relational in sessions. Drawing on clinical expertise and individual life experience, we join with you where you are right now to help guide you through to where (and how) you want to be.

Anxiety, depressive feelings, afraid of where the future may lead, or trying to figure out how to get over initial humps are common, but may also feel emotionally and physically draining. Therapy should be thoughtful, supportive, and provide a sense of safety for you to be yourself. This is the environment I look to create so that you can gain a deeper sense of self, and explore old thinking patterns and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. I can offer a fresh perspective to help you re-frame those negative thoughts in a more productive direction.

We use to have hard times whenever faced by difficulties that challenge our ego. Most of the time, we tend to avoid coping with these challenges, or we do deal with them in destructive ways, mainly because of not having learned more assertive functional ways to take care of ourselves, relationships and circumstances in life . My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the ways you do, supporting you to take advantage of your own potentials, improve skills and guiding you on taking good care of your core needs and expectations.

Hi, I'm Marissa Guerrero. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. More importantly, I am someone who can help guide you on your journey of healing and ignite change. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I support individuals and families to learn new skills that have been triggered by their traumatic life experiences. I am also equipped to support you in learning how to recognize, identify and manage your emotional responses to stressful circumstances. I wholeheartedly believe that our life experiences give us the opportunity to learn new tools to help us become our better selves.

Do you feel like there must be more to life ? Do you feel stuck, frustrated, detached, or uninspired? Work, caregiving, or other life stressors have you feeling burnout? Somehow, despite the persistent demands on you and your time, you feel bored. You feel drained and exhausted but can’t sleep. You are working so hard but feel increasingly cynical about the impact of your efforts. Maybe you can identify the kinds of things you'd like to do, that next professional step you’d like to take or that healthy habit you know will make you feel better, but are having trouble acting on those desires.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I graduated from Antioch University, Los Angeles, with a Masters's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy. I help individuals, children, families, and couples dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, life transitions, and other debilitating situations.

If you are seeking help through counseling or therapy, I offer individual and couples therapy to older adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy is to help clients feel safe and supported. While providing a welcoming and confidential space, I collaborate with the client to explore current life stressors and events to work toward achieving greater understanding and working through areas of feeling stuck.

It’s hard to find a therapist when you feel stuck, isolated, anxious, or frustrated.

Bi-lingual: Korean-American Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles County - Just minutes from Koreatown and Hancock Park area. Although looking in the mirror may not seem so difficult, looking beyond what is on the surface and into our souls - it can be. What everyone sees on the outside may not be how it feels inside. What seems small to others may be life changing for you. How do you cope with what life brings to you? How is it working for you?

Have you had sleep disturbances due to nightmares? Do you have memories of a terrible event in your life that you can’t seem to get rid of no matter what you try? Do you have anxiety, addiction, and depression? Trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that won't go away. It can leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people. It can also cause your brain to remain in a state of hypervigilance, suppressing your impulse control, and trapping you in a state of strong emotional reactivity.

Speak your heart, live your truth! Are you feeling overwhelmed with the direction of your life ? Is your job not emotionally or financially satisfying? Do you find yourself having difficult, short-lived relationships, or worse - none at all? Is depression and/or anxiety wearing you down? It is my experience that our difficulties and problems are primarily determined by reactions to how we think and feel. I can help you understand how your thoughts and feelings prevent you from getting what you want, and then help you find ways of creating more success in the areas you desire to change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life ? Do you feel exhausted from anxiety, depression or constant worrying? Do you struggle with food-related issues such as a healthy relationship with food, body image, and obsessive food thoughts? My goal is to assist clients in coping with emotions and stress, changing self-destructive behaviors, and connecting with others. My therapeutic approach involves compassion, exploration, and insight. I offer a comfortable space and relaxed environment where we work together to find solutions to your problems and offer new ways of thinking and doing. I believe in living as your best and most authentic self.

There are countless stories and ideas we're told about who we can and should be! More successful, more actualized, richer, taller, thinner- with all that noise around us, it is often hard to hear our own voice telling us what we value, what makes us feel alive, what is worth our energy and attention. When we feel stuck or weighed down by trauma, depression, anxiety, or systemic injustice, it’s especially hard to access our preferences, inner resources, and community. Our voice gets lost or neglected. This is my commitment to you in our work – to make space for your voice.
