Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

I work with teens and adults in all stages of life. I work with clients experiencing a wide range of clinical and life issues, including depression, bipolar, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, OCD, ADHD, grief, and trauma.

My approach is eclectic, diverse, and action-oriented. I use each client’s frame of reference to foster increased connections and understanding.

In psychotherapy, I, Jarrad Malamed, an LGBTQIA-identified therapist, prioritize diversity and inclusivity. Through an integrative approach blending interpersonal, relational, gestalt, experiential, and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT), I aim to customize healing and growth experiences for my clients. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on relationships' impact on mental well-being, emphasizing communication, conflict resolution, and healthy boundaries. Relational therapy explores past and present relationship dynamics, aiding clients in understanding attachment styles and fostering authentic connections.

Life is messy, relationships are difficult, and struggling alone is overwhelming. We need supportive relationships to get our needs met and we need awareness of our own relational style to build those relationships. This includes how we engage with others, the assumptions we make, and how we manage ruptures. I believe we are only as happy and healthy as the communities that support us, so seeking additional community connections is an important part of my approach. We all need support to integrate the frequently demanding and often competing parts of their lives.

My goal is to help you not only experience clarity, but begin to define the parts of yourself that you want to embolden & bring to life. The most important part of our work together will be the relationship we build & that is why I make it my priority to help you feel safe, connected, & understood. We all want to feel better, but understanding what makes us who we are, what values we hold, & what we want most in our lives can make our life-journey so much more satisfying.
