Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
Hi there, I'm Fabiana! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I have been doing counseling for over 30 years. My passion for counseling started in 6th grade when I was nominated to be a peer counselor and I saw the power of how communication, active reflective listening, and conflict resolution could shift relationships. I grew up in a chaotic household and studying psychology helped me to develop compassion, empathy, and understanding when there was profound pain. Let’s get started today in writing the next chapter of the rest of your life.

Well, well, well, looks like you stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. Welcome, my dear nerdy friends, to the lair of a therapist who understands your love for all things geeky. I'm not your typical therapist. I won't ask you how you're feeling and nod along like a bobblehead. No, no, no. I'll ask you what you’re currently playing, your favorite Disney movies, and if you think Star Wars is better than Star Trek. And if you don't know the answer to either of those questions, don't worry, we'll figure it out together.

You made it here which means a courageous part of you is seeking understanding, meaning, and healing. As a psychoanalyst, I am trained to listen for the soft whispers of desire and hope living beneath the mountain of fears, disappointment and despair accumulated through a lifetime of heartbreak. Through deep listening, exploration, and a little play, we will come to know the various ways your pain story continues to speak. We will examine the unique self-protective behaviors you developed to keep you safe and how these feelings and behaviors may be getting in the way of the intimacy, connection and internal freedom you are seeking.

OCD is a debilitating condition that consists of irrational or excessive fears and concerns that become obsessive and manifest as intrusive, unwanted, disturbing thoughts, images or impulses. These obsessions are accompanied by repetitive and time-consuming mental and behavioral acts called rituals or compulsions that are done to prevent bad things associated with the obsessions from happening. Avoidance is the third component of OCD, which involves deliberately staying away from things, people and places that trigger or worsen obsessive fears and concerns, or to avoid the risk of some dreaded event.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” (Helen Keller) Everyone goes through changes throughout their life. Sometimes these changes can be overwhelming and create uncomfortable experiences, but together we can explore ways to move through change.

It is true that each psychotherapy has its own life. The unique personal qualities that you and I bring to the table necessarily become interwoven to build a rich, trusting relationship. Together, we will go towards the underlying meaning of your symptoms. I have learned that many "symptoms" are actually inroads to the hidden away, injured, vulnerable parts of self that are waiting for an environment where there are resources for repair, healing, and growth. I am constantly surprised by the human potential to grow and I strive to provide an environment that gives life to the healing process.

I know that living with the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety and grief can feel hopeless and exhausting. I also know that beginning psychotherapy can feel scary.

More importantly, I hope that my training and skill set can provide you with relief from what you have been living through.

I believe childhood experiences create the template for adult life. Early losses, separations and trauma define the choices of strategies or defenses we use as adults. Pain and suffering can be caused by these early experiences. It is my job as a therapist to join my clients in their journey of discovery of these templates and help them to gain a more fulfilled life. I provide individual, couples and family counseling services in both English and Spanish in a safe, comfortable environment. My approach is tailored to each client, to meet them on their journey of discovery to finding a more fulfilled life.

Are you ready to work at a deeper level?
Patients start healing when they are in a position to face themselves. For this, I am available to listen very carefully to what my patients say because experience and training have taught me that it is the patient's words which must lead the way. The focus is on the patient's speech, often on dreams, in order to guide an experience, which wants to restore meaning to the symptoms and thereby allow for healing.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

Being human is messy and hard, and all too often, you can feel alone in facing your suffering. You feel isolated, cut off, like nobody else gets what you're going through–whether that be grief, depression, systemic oppression, trauma, or any other human affliction. While the original experiences were hard, your sense of aloneness makes them worse; they stick with you and shape the way you interact with the world, like tightly-wound knots that never get a chance to loosen.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change.

It is possible to feel happier, more capable and have a kinder relationship with yourself and others. Neuroscience has revealed we can make positive changes at any age. We all experience loss in our lives from everyday disappointments to the loss of a loved one. Even the most fortunate among us sometimes feel anxious, depressed, isolated and afraid of what’s to come. Most of us have had less than ideal experiences we haven’t been able to process alone. That definitely includes me too. Believe me, you’re not alone. It’s the human condition. There is no happily ever after, but you can have more love, fun and ease in your daily life.
