Jewish Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I have over 20 years experience in working with children, adolescents and families with various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. My specialty and passion is in working with parents in helping them become the best parents they can be; including managing behavior problems at home and school, co-parenting, family therapy and Child-Parent dyadic Psychotherapy. I am able to provide therapy in both Hebrew and English. To accommodate the local Jewish community, I have available appointment times on Sunday, in addition to weekdays.

I come from the heart. I'm here to help you feel safe and secure. I am here to go on a journey with you to find your true self, to lift depression, to work with anxiety, and transform this time of crisis into stronger relationships and more heart-felt productivity. As a gay, Jewish man, I have an ear for all people struggling with difference and oppression. I can go deep with you into healing old trauma. Or I can help you coach you with day-to-day career and relationship challenges. If you need a therapy to jump-start new growth in the New Year, I am here for you on that quest of both self-discovery and seeing more palpable results.

Inattention. Depression. Anxiety. Trauma. These are all natural responses to the challenges of life. These challenges are daunting on their own, and can feel insurmountable because of how the world treats gender, race, sexuality and learning differences.

When you are feeling depressed or anxious, you have a real reason to want to be heard. You communicate through words and body language. A child communicates through play and art. Whichever way you communicate, I am dedicated to hear what you have to say and gain a real understanding of what is going on. Together, we can explore your uniqueness and find strength in that. Whether it is a family issue or a personal one, taking care of yourself is a priority. I believe that the basic foundation of therapy is a good relationship between therapist and client.

Are you tired of being told your thoughts are the problem? Have you been labeled as "too sensitive?" If you are looking to heal the body which holds our pain and trauma and become more empowered to understand your own nervous system, then we may be a good fit. I work with womxn and non-binary clients who experience chronic pain, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I am LGBTQIA+ allied, social justice, and feminist therapist. Clients I work with come in when experiencing life transition, relationship stress, new health diagnoses, career changes, increased pain, or family-of-origin pain.

As a parenting coach and consultant, I attend to whatever needs the most pressing attention in your family. In addition to office meetings, I offer home and school visits to help determine the most expedient course of action to help your family navigate your current developmental challenge. These unique consultations are often short-term, and families may return for periodic visits to address new issues as they emerge. Consider me your parenting partner from birth until your children launch, and even beyond!

Are you having the dawning realization that you aren’t living life as fully as you could be? Are you experiencing troubled relationships, a narrowing sense of possibility, or wounded self-esteem? Or maybe you simply have the gnawing sense that it’s time for a change, but no idea how to make it happen. If so, this is a great time to step into therapy. I use a collaborative, depth-oriented approach to help individuals and couples overcome obstacles, build on their strengths, and move through a variety of challenges.

With more than twenty years of experience meeting with people struggling with anxiety and depression, I’ve come to understand just how lonely and isolating living this way can feel. I’ve also come to understand that even when it feels like the darkness is here to stay - there is a path forward to feeling hopeful and finding meaning again. I’ve seen this to be true in my work at hospitals, schools, with families, and with individuals. Everyone has the capacity for change. I believe the same is true for you.

Life today can be overwhelming, chaotic and confusing. The demands and pressures of everyday life can cause anxiety, self-doubt and sadness, which prevents you from living life to its fullest. Often, we repeat the same patterns we have learned from childhood. These feelings can cause distress and can impact our functioning as well as impair our relationships with ourselves and others.

Are you a parent seeking support for yourself or for your child who is struggling emotionally at school or home? Or an adult going through a hard time, in a difficult relationship or feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, or depressed?

I help my clients with a variety of challenges including stress, fears, overwhelm, and performance issues. Are you struggling with self-confidence or self esteem? Do you feel stuck? Are you harming yourself with a body-focused repetitive behavior? I work with hypnosis, NLP, coaching, sound healing and energy modalities to help you get unstuck and to create rapid and lasting change. If you are looking to make a change or just feel better, I can help you let go of the past and any limiting beliefs that are holding you back so that you can have more career success, better health, and more joy in your life again.

Hello and welcome! I look forward to meeting you and helping you gain insight into unhealthy relationship patterns, negative self talk and how that effects your mood and behavior, and tolerance for all of life's challenges. I have experience working with clients who are having difficulties with interpersonal relationships, families dealing with unhealthy boundaries, and individuals and couples seeking to deepen their relationships and strengthen communication skills. By no means is this an all inclusive list, so please do contact me so we can discuss what your needs are and how I can help.

You look put together, present yourself well, but are privately struggling. Your problems may not be immediately apparent to others, but internally you have a hard time with accepting yourself, being present in your life, and with finding joy. You work hard and are constantly juggling an array of tasks, but your relationships are sluggish and you feel overwhelmed and disconnected.

Most Westerners experience rushed living, lack of acceptance, anxious and depressed mood - what inevitably amounts to suffering. While pain is a universal experience, with practice suffering can become optional.

If this is your story, The Serenity Center was opened with you in mind. Reducing suffering to manageable levels is an achievable goal - and all you may need is a skillful guide.
