Couples Counseling Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, I am Arlene Balcarcel, LCSW, a Clinical Psychotherapist and Life Coach. My devotion lies in aiding individuals and couples as they navigate the path to overcome mental health challenges stemming from traumatic experiences. My aim is to empower you in a secure setting, guiding you towards unleashing your utmost potential.

My name is Suzie and I am a trauma informed licensed clinical social worker. I specialize in trauma work, identity issues, children of immigrant issues, immigrant issues, relationship challenges, inter-generational trauma, anxiety and depression in teens, young adults, adults, and couples. I am a first generation Korean-America therapist with a sense of humor, and an appreciation for play and creativity: we’ll work together to build a connection and bring out your intrinsic strengths by practicing self compassion.

Are you experiencing challenges in dealing with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences? Do you struggle with effective communication and setting boundaries in your relationships with others? Life often presents obstacles and difficulties that might lead to these difficulties without proper tools, resources, and guidance. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and Trauma-informed care to help you manage symptoms and promote healing and growth. With a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of each client and their lived experiences, I foster a collaborative and inclusive therapeutic environment.

Whether one is suffering from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, or challenges in relationships, I am here to provide a space to explore these issues and foster personal growth. I understand that you are the expert in your life, and I am there to provide the support and feedback you need to address life’s challenges, identify barriers, explore solutions, and help you achieve your goals.

Existing can be difficult. Tolerating the pressures of personal and societal histories can leave you feeling stuck; add figuring out meaning and purpose of life, and things get overwhelming. Using a straightforward, interactive style (with plenty of humor) I will assist you in bringing a new understanding to issues from the past that limit and color the present. I create a collaborative space where we make sense of all the unknowns of life; whether you are looking to heal shame, trauma, or heal anxiety or grief, I will help you can make the changes necessary to make living a bit easier and move through life with more grace.

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.

Thank you for reviewing my profile. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families and have experience treating issues ranging from ADHD to occupational difficulties. I work especially with anxiety in all its forms, depression, and relationship challenges. My research has focused on attachment and social cognition, specifically in relation to anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I have found that the therapeutic relationship, with its strong bond between the patient and an attuned therapist, is the most consistent and powerful mechanism of change.

Do you struggle to open up to people, and let them in, but you WANT to? Is it easier to keep people at a distance, because the thought of potentially losing them is too painful? Together, we will explore old patterns and help you break free from them so that you can build a better relationship with yourself, and with others. With methods like EMDR and attachment theory, I can help you understand yourself better and see things in a more positive way. Let's start a journey to heal and discover yourself, so you can finally enjoy life the way you deserve.

Are you noticing patterns in your feelings or relationships that you want to change? You might be able to pinpoint some past experiences that are influencing life today, or maybe you just know something is “off.”. You’re noticing the same arguments with your partner or the same feelings of anxiety or depression crop up, even though you’ve tried to change them on your own. You feel like you bend over backwards for others at home or work, sometimes at the expense of your own wants and needs. You want to get back to a place of connection and confidence in life and experience the freedom and peace that’s missing right now.

Ever do something despite knowing it is not good for you? Or feel a certain way and just can't kick it? Nothing is wrong with you: you are simply dealing with life and challenges the best way you learned how to even though you "know" it is not working. Sometimes we need help translating what the mind/body is telling us. It is a language not taught in school, but I'm here to help you comprehend and heal with it, not avoid its discomfort.

Hello, I’m Lauren, and I’m passionate about people. I believe that folks have the potential to be their best selves when they feel psychologically safe and comfortable. I partner with my clients to create this space in the therapy session. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in the belief that each individual’s journey is unique and deserving of respect. I attempt to offer a comprehensive perspective that values your personal narrative. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where we work together to explore your identity, navigate life’s challenges, and foster meaningful change.

You engage in therapy because there is something in your life that isn't working. My genuine curiosity leads me to explore not just what isn’t working, but what has led up to where you are today and what we need to do to move forward with real and lasting change. I am a warm, kind and compassionate therapist but I will also challenge you when appropriate and ask you to consider new perspectives and ideas as we pursue your goals.

I specialize in complex trauma, phobias/anxiety, and chronic illness for adults and teens. Many of my clients are recovering from developmental trauma, learning to soothe overactive nervous systems, and hoping to identify and express their needs in a new way. My work is depth oriented, empowering, feminist, compassion focused, and client-centered. I work well with artists and creative types, perfectionists, high achievers, those who identify as highly sensitive, and those who suffer from chronic illness.

You don't have to face hard things alone. I believe everyone can create change. I help individuals and couples diminish distress and lead more satisfying lives. What are your patterns? What is meaningful to you? Who do you want to be? We explore your past and present to build insight and promote lasting change. I conceptualize our work together from a psychodynamic, attachment based lens. I tailor our sessions using interdisciplinary techniques, including EMDR.

Selecting the "right" therapist can be a challenging process. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist begins with the establishment of trust and a desire to grow. I value authenticity, empathy, humor, respect for self and other, and put these values to work in session. My areas of specialty include issues surrounding sexuality and gender, sexual dysfunction, childhood, religious & sexual trauma, the LGBTQIA+ population and those seeking purpose or deeper meaning in life. I aim to meet my clients where they are, holding space for exploration of self, empowerment for growth, and reclamation of their joy for life.

I am currently only providing telehealth services. I work with individuals, couples, and families to pay witness to and overcome the traumas and difficulties in their lives. My aim to empower and provide support to those who have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, and chronic illness.
