Stress Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I help high achieving, highly anxious individuals struggling with burnout, work and academic stress , and perfectionism. This may be due to the impact of developmental trauma, childhood overt or covert bullying, or the impact of family upbringing. If you are exhausted from having it all together constantly and feel like you are losing touch with your authentic self, therapy is a great place to start in order to shift away from patterns that are no longer working for you. I can support you as you challenge yourself and grow in ways you thought were not possible and make it less scary by not having to do it alone.

I am often able to identify emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing people from achieving the quality of life that they desire. I strive to assist people with personal, professional and work related concerns to achieve goals that will improve the quality of their life. I seek to facilitate self-respect and build on existing psychological strengths to assist people in developing a more empowered and confident self image. The overall primary goal of treatment in this office is to assist people in making choices that will increase the likelihood of their achieving more satisfying personal and professional success.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut? It happens to the best of us and it certainly does not have to last forever. Feelings of stress , confusion, anxiety and depression are part of life; but when they last too long, or when they interfere with work and relationships, it may be time to get some support. Everyone can relate to the feeling of being in a 'funk' and not quite knowing how to shake it. Therapy can be a powerful catalyst to QUICKLY get your back on your feet and feeling like yourself again.My goal is to provide support and help you master the skills necessary to get you feeling better as quickly as possible!

We all experience life’s challenges as part of the human condition, yet sometimes our symptoms of stress , worry, or self-criticism stand in the way of living the life that we want. Working with a clinician can help you reconnect with yourself and your strengths. Therapy often helps us to make useful connections between our actions, our thinking, our emotional reality, and patterns in relationships that we have developed over years. When we understand ourselves better, we can put into practice useful tools and coping skills to tackle problems that once defeated us.

I work with highly motivated adults utilizing evidenced based therapy with a special attention to mindfulness. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space to provide support to you as we explore better ways of coping, strategies to manage stress , and improve communication. Through reflection we are able to set goals and problem solve together as we increase insight and awareness of your experience. Together we can work to find an improved life balance, satisfaction and greater sense of well-being.

My name is Sandy Hagan, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialized in treating depression, anxiety, and stress management. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.

We all go through different phases of life that may cause grief and stress . If you are feeling worried, on edge, experiencing sadness, or encountering roadblocks in relationships, you do not have to go through it on your own. Therapy is a supportive, objective resource and a safe space to process these emotions, explore identity, challenge patterns of thinking, and gain tools and stability. Applying your strengths to support growing edges, I hope to reaffirm your connection with your intuition, assist you in embracing self-acceptance, offer varying perspectives to gain awareness, and foster cognitive flexibility.

There are all times when we need a new perspective, someone to hear us and help us sort out life’s issues. Perhaps you are grappling with blocks in the way to accomplishing what you know you can or just need less anxiety as you do it. Some of us know what to do but not how to get there, others know how to get there but lack motivation, structure, or wisdom for a particular aspect of our lives. You may have tried to figure it out on your own, read books, gone to workshops and even been in therapy. I work with people using a practical yet gentle collaborative approach. For 30 years I have helped people get clear and move forward.

My goal is to help you live your life fully; no longer feeling bound by the experiences in your past. Our experiences change our brains. Family, relationships and trauma all affect how we perceive ourselves, others and our world. But just as trauma and other negative experiences can create patterns that can lead to anxiety, depression, anger, unhealthy relationships, addictions or underachievement...new experiences can change those patterns. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place to work with your memories, feelings and thoughts in new ways.

You’re a millennial individual or couple and finally ready to explore therapy. I help you articulate what’s most important to you: What do you value? How is your life currently aligned with those values and what is getting in the way? I help you better understand yourself, your needs, and how to get those needs met. It is important to me that the space we create is compassionate, open, curious, reflective, and interactive. Common issues that I work on in therapy include life transitions, managing stress /anxiety, building your sense of Self, relationship concerns, and improving communication.

Many are on a journey to find themselves, and this journey can be difficult and arduous. Especially when growing up in homes without feelings of safety and security. Many children have never received the message that they are true miracles. I am here to help you restore your inner peace, face your challenges, accept who you truly are, and to help heal internal wounds. If you are on this journey, you are not alone. You do not have to forget about your past, but together, I would like to help you heal from your past and move forward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY-21412) with 20+ years of experience. I am expert in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and related conditions. I specialize in social anxiety, panic disorder, depression, OCD, GAD, phobias, and PTSD. I am Associate Director of the UCLA Anxiety and Depression Research Center and a Clinical Associate Professor at UCLA.

My name is Ursula Buxton and I am a therapist licensed in California, License No. 49881. I help clients thru various difficult situations in life, successfully coping with stress in daily life and any relationship issues that our life brings to us. Our life can be more rewarding and bringing us a sense of accomplishment and therapy helps us refocus on just that.

I am a female immigrant psychologist who helps individuals experiencing self-doubt, anxiety, and stress to create room for joy, confidence, and wellness. I am very gentle in my approach, even when we work through painful and uncomfortable issues. It is important to me that I respect my clients’ pace in the journey. That’s why I actively look for feedback and adjust if needed. My clients usually seek me because of my cultural background, ability to connect beyond their preferred language, and commitment to their wellbeing.

Maintaining a healthy mood can be a challenge these days. Much of the information we navigate is meant to hijack us with fears about the future, or regrets and resentments from the past. Mindfulness practice is a bridge to healing and nourishing elements available in the present moment. It helps us look deeply at the underlying traumatic sources of those intrusive fears, regrets and resentments, so we can really understand where they came from, and let go of the internal power struggles they perpetuate. This practice allows us to observe and let go of unhelpful thinking and expectations, and live more fully in the present moment.

I have significant experience working with youth that have complex needs ranging from Mood Disorders to Post Traumatic Stress . While the majority of my work is with children and youth, I am available to support the entire family system with concerns that may include family conflict, parenting, and couples.

Anxiety and stress are making it hard to fully enjoy your life. You may feel stuck in the same looping thought patterns and feel constantly "on edge." You have difficulty remembering a time where your anxiety or stress wasn't bothering you. It may feel daunting to connect with friends and family. Your personal faith may struggle. It can feel really lonely and isolating to experience anxiety. It can feel like no one really understands you. You want to be able to enjoy your life again. You don't want to be stuck any more!
