Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

If you're having difficulty navigating some of your relationships and feel stuck in certain aspects of your life, let's explore what's holding you back . Through a spontaneous and highly interactive therapeutic relationship, you'll discover correlations between your personal history, any traumatic events and your present reality. Combining EMDR, positive psychology and specific strategies to re-direct your neural pathways, I'd like to help you separate what was from what is, and where you'd like to be, so you can stop repeating destructive patterns and become available to live the life you love.

The sun goes down and you're desperate for sleep. Unfortunately, this is when your thoughts speed up. You're constantly thinking. You think about how much you think. Your mind replays the day's interactions with others, blaming yourself, and reflecting on how others have hurt you. Feeling like you always mess things up. Waiting for the other shoe to always drop. All you crave is a calm mind. A peaceful spirit. And a good night's rest.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating and vulnerable. Finding a nonjudgmental therapist you connect with is an important part of the process. I support adults struggling to master their emotions and get in touch with their inner strengths. Together we can overcome, workthrough or improve many issues: depression, anxiety and stress, loneliness, intimate relationships and love, low self-esteem, attachment issues, feeling stuck, codependency, life transitions and more.

Hey there, I'm Brandy. Are you overwhelmed and feel like life is a bit out of control? Do you miss the joy and contentment that used to fill your life? I'd like to help you work on the struggles you are facing; and offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings, a place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help. I have been described as supportive, caring, compassionate, laid back, and with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.

Whether you are navigating an adjustment period, relationship difficulties, ongoing depression, and anxiety, processing trauma or are looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, psychotherapy provides the medium necessary to process, heal, and grow. I’ve received training in integrative health psychology, emphasizing the mind-body connection, and believe it is essential to address our internal experiences to achieve optimal overall health.

Do you feel unsatisfied in your relationships or in your work life? Do you notice yourself facing the same issue time and time again? Perhaps you find yourself second-guessing every decision or just never feeling like you are “good enough.” If this sounds familiar, I can help. Through a relationship characterized by safety and trust, I will support you to uncover the unhelpful beliefs, underlying emotions, and past experiences that are keeping you stuck. In doing so, you will learn to make better choices, turn goals into realities, and find a greater sense of peace in your day-to-day life.

Many clients come to me depressed, grief stricken, or at a loss for where to proceed in their lives. Faulty thinking can block the ability to realize new options for thoughts and behaviors. Training, wisdom, and life experiences allow me to help guide my clients to their best therapeutic path, to personalize treatment, and to help them find their purpose. I work with trauma survivors, people with disabilities, life transitions, crises, hospice care, death, and chronic anxiety. I'm also trained to support artists through their creative struggles. That process provides them the foundation to strengthen them for any future challenges.

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.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Hi there! I'm Alison and I specialize in working with children as young as 4 years old! I am a nature enthusiast, a native upstate New Yorker, a musician, and a devoted dog mom to my pup, Doug. As an Associate Marriage & Family (136606) Trauma Therapist, and certified Mindfulness Skills Instructor, I'm passionate about helping children and adults overcome emotional difficulties and build healthy coping skills. I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing space for my clients aged 4 and up to talk about their feelings and learn practical calming tools for stressors at home, with friends, and in the classroom.

Life is difficult, and even the strongest and the most intelligent people need help at times. You should be proud of any steps you take towards challenging your fears and self-growth. Therapy is a process that offers a unique opportunity for transformation and growth by guiding you to reflect on your issues, challenge your fears, and develop a greater awareness of what is causing your problems. Overall this is what can help you heal and grow.

Dr. Tierra is most passionate about helping you heal - and grow in your healing - so that you may continue to walk in your purpose. She is committed to providing culturally relevant services so that your healing experience aligns with your cultural values and true authentic self. She is also committed to assisting you in taking your healing into your own hands which is why she is devoted to providing mental health education and advocacy support throughout the process while helping you to prioritize yourself via self-love and self-care methods. Dr. Tierra also conducts Hip Hop & Healing group workshops for $25 per session.

I work with couples and individuals. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, postpartum, parenting skills, relationship challenges, family issues, domestic violence, loss/grief, identity, race and cultural issues, or just need someone to talk to, I am here for you.

I understand that sometimes life can be challenging and can hinder personal growth, happiness, relationships, quality of life, professional success, and parenting among other things. You feel like you are spinning your wheels but not going anywhere. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, sad, and or irritated. You may be surprised to know that there are ways to cope with these feelings so you can grab the reigns and get back on that horse! You want to create meaningful change but you aren’t sure where to start.

My clients are often creative, compassionate people who are experiencing stress and anxiety, may be working through relational traumas, or are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-esteem and self-awareness. Many of my clients are new to therapy and are looking for a safer space to examine areas of dissatisfaction or distress in their lives. I particularly enjoy working with women in male-dominated industries - such as entertainment, tech, and law - and folx in relationship minorities, including poly communities.

Every human struggles, and every human deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported while finding their way to a healthy flow. Are you feeling disconnected? Your mental health may seem hard for others to understand, or even for you to understand. Maybe it feels overwhelming to question why you feel this way, or what's actually in your control to change. Maybe the things that get you through aren’t the healthiest for you, and you’re ready to try something different. I'm here to accompany and guide you, whether navigating life transitions, addiction, relationship issues, or managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar, or ADHD.

I am a straightforward and honest individual who challenges clients to make changes and set goals to better themselves. My approach focuses on exploring a client's experience, helping them identify problematic behavior, then work towards a solution. I utilize tools such as in-session exercises, take-home activities, and process time to create a holistic plan to improve overall wellbeing. I focus on creating a safe place that fosters openness and confidence.

I (and my podcasts and ebooks found on my website) will work with both individuals and partners in a relationship that is emotionally not working. I will give you the tools, even if you are not local (telehealth), in the very first session to help you to learn to stop the disastrous conflict that you are experiencing. I will tell you what is happening for you and why it is happening so that you'll be able to take responsibility for your own emotional reactions, and change your own behavior.
