Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

*Hi! I'm Accepting new clients online*. I specialize in treating people from underrepresented communities. This includes women, LGBTQI, People of Color, and more.

Have you ever reached a place in your life where you have felt stuck and unable to get out of a rut no matter what you do? It's a common occurrence across race, culture, class, gender or whatever other categories we like to use. Things such as anxiety, hopelessness, depression, and lack of ability to navigate interpersonal relationships can serve as roadblocks that keep us get to a place where we feel fulfilled. In a nonjudgmental and safe space, I will work with you to identify these barriers and build the tools and skills necessary for you navigate life and stay on the path toward your personal goals.

I see therapy as working towards a new improved and more empowered you. I view and treat my client as the expert in his/her life. I view myself as a facilitator of emotional healing and change. I provide a non-judgmental environment where my client can explore relationships and other aspects of his or her life and decide upon changes or adjustments he or she can implement. Therapy is a safe space where perfection is not required or expected.

My name is Megan Moore. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I received my Master of Social Work from California State University, Fullerton in 2015. I have over 10 years of experience providing social work services in group homes, child welfare agencies, hospital settings, and outpatient mental health clinics. I am passionate about what I do and hope to continue to help others. I specialize in grief, major life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, prenatal/postpartum, Dependency Court issues, and life coaching.

I work with couples, families, and individuals to help them reduce conflict and increase satisfaction in their relationships and day to day lives. The goal of our work would be to alleviate emotional distress, control anxiety, and feel more in control of one's choices and reactions. In addition to attachment, we would explore values and ideals to create a strength-based concept of oneself. Significant life changes, good or bad, can also add to interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts and create anxiety. Therapy can help.

Let’s start with right now. Let’s pause long enough to invite awareness. Let’s get curious about what matters to you and expand what is possible. The work is solely focused on the changes you want to make. My approach is pragmatic, strength-based, and non-pathologizing. My style is warm, conversational, and direct. My intention is to help you create your preferred life. I collaborate with my clients to adopt healthier coping skills & more flexible ways of thinking about themselves and their situations. So tell me, what’s going on in your life? What are you up against? How do you cope? What’s working and what’s not?

I believe in a holistic, strength- based, individualized approach to therapy. I believe we are all multifaceted, and that our mental, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health are all interconnected. I work with each of my clients to better understand and integrate those aspects of themselves to best approach challenges and changes in their lives. I work with clients to uncover and build on their own unique strengths, and my philosophy is that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is a key factor in successful treatment. My goal is to help each person feel empowered to thrive in all areas of life.

Every person is unique, and at the core of any successful therapy is a therapist who helps you to be heard, seen, and understood as you learn to empower yourself. I am a licensed therapist with over five years of experience treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, adjustment disorder, self-esteem issues, trauma, self harm, ADHD, family system issues, grief, and other issues. My treatment philosophy is a non-judgmental, warm approach focusing on utilizing evidence-based interventions while providing compassion and empowering clients through a strengths-based lens.

Are you interested in exploring personal relationships, identities, or sexual issues from an open-minded and culturally sensitive perspective? Do you have past sexual traumas, toxic relationships, or codependency patterns that you would like to discuss in an objective and nonjudgemental space? When you allocate time to speak freely about these issues, you empower yourself to navigate any negative patterns or relationship dynamics from a place of curiosity instead of criticism. We will collaborate on the best way to unpack and understand your story from a growth mindset that is sustainable + strength-based.

Do you feel misunderstood, isolated, and distressed? Have you experienced trauma, discrimination, or have chronic illness and pain? These common experiences are frequently ignored, but I am here to support you. Often times, our life experiences contribute to how we react and relate in the world, which can be isolating and invalidating causing mental, physical, and emotional pain. Whether your issues present internally or externally, I am happy to work with you to unpack and restore your whole self that creates resilience, empowerment, and self-care to HEAL, GROW, & THRIVE together!

You're tired of feeling this way. You want to break the cycle and start living your life to the fullest. But you don't know where to start.
