Women's Issues Therapists in Mid Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA

I believe there is a natural tendency toward growth, a desire to be more of ourselves and to enjoy the things we do. For many, that curiosity and vitality has been restricted or shut down. This may lead to feeling depressed, like nothing will change for you. Or anxious, it will only get worse. Or perhaps you sense things could be different and are frustrated, not knowing how to access that new way of being. Psychotherapy is a process through which you can understand how these feelings have come about and how to access your natural tendency toward wellness.

Taking the first step to walk through your journey to healing can be difficult. My goal is to walk the path with you, hand in hand and provide the support you need to get to the other side.

Hello, I'm Eileen Roberts and I am a doctoral-level licensed clinical psychologist (PSY21296. I believe in helping my clients see new options for old problems. We begin by getting a fresh perspective on what have you stuck. We tap into your present strengths and skills or perhaps work on learning some new ones. Together we look for solutions and small steps toward your goals. I believe in creating a safe, supportive place for my clients.

Dr. Victoria Coleman: Getting to the root of your pain, learning to deal with it, building upon your strengths then learning to act versus react to people and events is the goal of my approach. I have a long history of working with diverse populations, who have developed varied problems: Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Marital, Parenting, Occupational, grief and more My approach is to work with your strengths; help you to develop new views and skills and then organize them into a plan that works in obtaining your goals.

On the outside you have it all together, and it seems like no one knows you're struggling. But on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, detached, stuck, burnout, stressed and depleted. It takes tremendous courage to start letting someone else in. I value your trust and start by actively listening to what it feels like for you on the inside. We will explore the different parts of you longing to be heard and seen, and will also support you learning to trust your own wisdom and the ways your body may have been communicating with you all along. Whatever may be the reason for disconnection from yourself, there's always a way back.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a primary specialty in adolescent and young adult mental health, as well as extensive experience treating adults and families. As a psychologist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, I primarily treat individuals and families with various mental health issues specific to teens, young adults transitioning to adulthood, as well as chronic medical conditions. In my private practice, I provide treatment to individuals (10+) and families that emphasizes increasing overall well-being, emotional health, and life satisfaction by strengthening coping skills, positive self-image, mood and overall daily functioning.

My name is Shahnoor Khan. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, inclusive, and compassionate space for all my clients. I am here to meet all my clients where they are at and believe in taking a client-centered approach. Through this approach, I collaborate with my clients with a deep sense of empathy and authenticity to explore your concerns, trauma, feelings, symptoms, and much more. I also stand by taking a de-colonized approach to therapy and incorporate this into my sessions, if my clients wish.

Often in my practice I work with people who appear put together, but inside feel lonely, lost and disconnected. Many times these feelings are a response to experiencing trauma. We tend to think traumatic events only include extreme experiences like war and assault, but trauma can also occur through more nuanced events that break our trust in others, ourselves and the world. Both kinds of trauma trigger our nervous system in ways that can affect our health and limit our ability to have close, meaningful relationships. BUT neuroscience has shown that over time the human brain can rewire itself to new ways of thinking and responding.

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

Are you feeling stuck? Hopeless? Unsure where to turn? We have all been there. I believe therapy provides safety, hope, understanding, and a way forward. I'm committed to creating a safe, warm, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I know from experience that holding onto hope for meaningful change, even when clients can't hold onto that hope for themselves, is one of the most powerful things I can offer.

I have over six years of experience working as a mental health clinician. I am a member of/advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and I am passionate about making the world a safer place for all people. I utilize a trauma-informed, integrated approach to therapy to support people dealing with self-acceptance, questions about gender and sexuality, life transitions, and more.

Everyone deserves a soft place to land, to gather and explore themselves deeply. I hope to provide this for all of my clients. I believe everyone has a story to be told and a self to be explored. As a psychotherapist, I utilize depth psychology and psychoanalytic techniques as well as other skill building and behavioral tools to support you on your journey, and help you manage any bumps that may occur along the way. I specialize in treating general depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, cultural concerns, workplace burnout, relationship/life issues. I’d love to walk alongside individuals and couples as they embark on their own paths.

I hold a special place in my practice for clients struggling with eating disorders, spiritual issues, chronic autoimmune diseases, creative blocks, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and life transitions. I work with individuals, couples, and children, helping clients find the peace and balance they deserve. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space where you can gain insight into old patterns, develop new coping skills, learn to tolerate painful emotions and navigate life feeling more empowered. My approach is compassionate and gentle, but also direct, working to help you embody your authentic self.

Considering therapy is typically not done lightly. More often than not, people find themselves lost, alone, or out of touch with their usual selves. Seeking therapy is an effort to do just about anything to finally feel better. Are you are feeling weighed down by life's stressors, like it is impossible to be a woman in today's society, struggling to navigate the transition to motherhood, overcome with sadness, and hopeless about how to take care of yourself, your relationship, or your child? If you are searching for holistic support in embodying your role as a mother, or mood management during pregnancy and post-partum, I can help.

My goal as a psychologist is to help you realize your best possible self. I focus on helping people build skills and capabilities in order to live happy, meaningful and successful lives. In our fast paced, productivity obsessed culture, it's easy to get off track and one day wake up to realize you're not living the life you wanted. There are so many forces at work on us, including systemic oppressions and their effects (fear, anger, perfectionism, self-judgement, imposter syndrome, etc). Therapy can be a bolster and a support - a means to explore values and goals, reconnect with your best self and create the life you want.

Seeking support is difficult for anyone. Whether it is for an individual, family, or there is support. Over 15 years experience working in a variety of environments. People just want to get some relief and feel supported when navigating difficult circumstances. I have several years working at the University level, Behavioral Health, schools, and in the private sector. My focus is private practice and there is support for whatever is going on in your life currently. I am a referral source for several local companies, doctor offices, schools, as well as a consultant for TV/Film, and professional athletes.
