Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Welcome to the psychotherapy world! I work in a collaborative and compassionate style to help further understand and address the concerns that led you to search for some relief from the way you are currently feeling. We all try to use the best coping strategies but when excessive worries, valid or not, obsessions, depression or life stress begin to overwhelm these strategies, it is often a time to seek professional help. We work together to conceptualize the problem and provide you with tools to reduce your current distress and facilitate recovery.

Hello, I am Dr. Harel, and I would like to commend you on your courage of taking the first step toward transformation and growth. Your acknowledgement of the need for change makes you into an excellent client. My clinical experiences shows that we are our own biggest obstacle on the path toward the life we truly want, whether it is deeply fulfilling relationships and marriages, satisfying and exciting careers, vibrant health, etc. The moment we totally commit to our own wellbeing with intention to do whatever it takes to live our best life, we have completed 50% of the journey. It is that simple.

Dr. Wagner utilizes therapy approaches that have been thoroughly studied through scientific research, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), biofeedback, and mindfulness-based methods. She also takes into account each client's unique needs and preferences and will collaborate with you to reach your therapy goals. She is currently taking new clients for both short-term and long-term individual therapy, and has a variety of scheduling options including daytime and evenings.

Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process where the feedback between the therapist and the person is without any sense of judgement or agenda.Therapy is about what works from the perspective of each person's unique personal experience. It allows for a fluid perspective to be understood and worked through. I am an active participant, providing descriptions along with mutually agreed upon insights and interpretations. I believe that the essential process within oneself and in a therapeutic setting should always contain compassion, understanding, respect and empathy. The goal is to develop a positive relationship with oneself and with others.

Change can feel impossible. No matter how badly we want it, we feel stuck in a loop trying the same things over and over again. We want a sense of relief and for things to feel easier, but feel hopeless, constantly fighting the same battles. Despite this, I do believe we are all inherently resilient. We possess unique strengths, but they get shielded from our view because societal expectations and past experiences box us into how we think we ‘should’ be or act. We no longer see ourselves as who we actually are, but rather who the world has told us we are. We want to hold more hopeful beliefs about ourselves and the future.

My primary function as a therapist is to provide space for you to cultivate self-exploration & understanding. Whether you're ready to heal from past experiences that hold you back or are seeking more growth/satisfaction in your life, I’ll work with you to develop treatment goals to suit your specific needs. I also believe in an integrative approach to mental health & therefore approach therapy from a holistic perspective wherein mind & body are seen as inextricably linked. If desired, we can incorporate body-based practices within the talk therapy space to aid in building a stronger connection to self & increase life satisfaction.

I have been in practice for the past forty years helping individuals overcome problems and issues so that they may live a fuller, happier life. Whether one is suffering from deep rooted issues, or going through a difficult period of life, we are able to work through the hurdles that prevent growth and to provide tools needed for a higher quality of life.

Do you want to be empowered, find fulfillment, or heal from trauma and let go of the past? A warm welcome! I start by creating a safe space to guide you on a journey of self-discovery. I treasure that our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships are fastened together and are affected by one another in a close manner. I'll address each of those personal facets to help you emerge holistically with a therapeutic style drawn from various approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP) and Jungian Sandplay Therapy.

I am a eclectic therapist who believes in treating the whole person. My motto is “ One size does not fit all”. Making the choice to attend therapy is often difficult no matter the reason. However, it’s also the first step in putting you first. No matter the reason that lead you here I will work with you to achieve your goals and develop skills needed to maintain your progress. On the other side of Hope there is happiness.

If you have tried ECT, ketamine, various medications and have not seen the improvement and relief you are seeking for your anxiety and depression, reach out to find if you are a good candidate for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I use EMDR with clients that suffer from treatment resistant depression (TRD) and/or pervasive anxiety to treat the root causes of the depression and anxiety that other treatments have not been able to resolve. I also work with clients who have been raised by a narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parent and struggle with self esteem and unhealthy relationships.

Distressing symptoms, whether they be depression, anxiety, a sense of meaninglessness, addictions, or behavior problems can be painful and debilitating. As your therapist, I consider it my job to help you understand and utilize such symptoms as opportunities for growth. With the help of effective therapy, in fact, periods of stagnation and despair can serve as catalysts that allow us to discover previously unknown levels of happiness, prosperity, and inner peace. As your symptoms diminish, together we will work towards expanding your capacity for work, love, and creativity. I offer a free initial consultation period for all new patients.

I have over 9 years of experience in the mental health field, working with a wide variety of individuals and assisting them in overcoming their struggles. My topics of specialty are depression, anxiety, communication, relationships, and anger. I utilize different modalities depending on the person and situation. Making sure that a therapy plan is individualized is highly important to me, as no two individuals are the same. I hope to make you an active leading role in your own mental health, in order to create the kind of life that you want to live and find happiness in.

Having relationship issues? Not feeling as good about yourself as you'd like to? Experiencing a lot of negative self-talk that undermines you and keeps you from accomplishing more in your life?

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Authenticity and trust are the foundation of that process, so it's important to find someone you feel comfortable working with. Uncovering your inner strength and actuating your emotional intelligence begins with exploration of the psychic house you live in.
