Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
Sometimes all it takes is an outside perspective to be the catalyst for change. But let’s be real, change can be hard, especially when we feel we “should” be able to do it on our own. If there’s one take away message here, it’s that you do not have to do the hard work alone. I hope to be the one by your side on this journey. I aim to treat adult individuals and couples who struggle with a variety of concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety disorders and OCD, depression, mood disorders, minority group stressors, and life transitions.

As a Career Counselor with over 25 years of experience, my practice focuses on your success. Beginning your first career? Single or Married and figuring out how to navigate work? Starting a family and plan to return to work after baby is born? Re-entering the workforce after time off? Mid-life career changer? Need help with retirement career planning?
I have helped hundreds of people choose new careers, tweak current careers, and plan for retirement rather than reacting to retiring. Birth Doula and Post-Partum Doula trainings help me incorporate this important life stage of family planning and working as you raise children.

If you are reading this, I commend you for taking that first brave step in researching therapists. Finding the right fit is such an important part of the healing process. Whether you are experiencing something internal, external, or both I want to help. I work with adults in individual and couples therapy, and specialize in relationship issues, overcoming breakups, men’s issues, life transitions, exploring cultural identity, and depression. Part of this work includes exploring past experiences and relationships and how they impact us currently. I also use humor in my work; it can be such a healing tool.

The stories we tell about ourselves can be complicated. Often times, how we see ourselves is based on how others see us, on societal expectations, or assumptions rooted in the past. I work with clients to help engage curiosity and exploration, detangling behaviors and feelings that get in the way of the life and relationships they desire. I believe the problems we face can actually serve as an important catalyst for achieving the things we value most in our lives. In session, we will work together to create new meaning, generating change when needed and exploring what all is possible.

I’m Tammy Gold, LCSW, an author, therapist, and nationally featured parenting and family therapy expert who created the Care Map Method.

My name is Shelley Majors, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an office in Claremont, California. I see clients online or in person depending on their preference. I work with individual adults and couples interested in changing some aspect of their lives. I believe it’s important to find the therapeutic approach that fits for the client rather than having them adapt to a particular theoretical orientation. As a therapist who has been practicing for almost 30 years, I’ve trained on several theories but prefer a more eclectic approach which allows me to utilize whatever style seems to work for each client.

Therapy with me is about making space for all the nuance that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always honor that. My work with you is about slowing down, sorting through what's heavy, and making space for what feels real to help you find your way. Relationships, life changes, and personal challenges are harder to manage without a strong personal connection with your therapist. I'd like to help. Let's explore what the future may hold for you.

Welcome, take a look around, and see if you feel pulled to work with me, a self-proclaimed healing healer. In healing, discomfort is inevitable, but safety is co-created, and together, we create safety in your discomfort to move through narratives that do not serve your goals.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things aren’t changing despite your efforts? Looking for support? I work with adults navigating recovery, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues and patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware but feel blocked or disconnected. In therapy, we explore the deeper roots of these patterns while building insight and practical tools for change. My approach draws from psychodynamic, relational and somatic orientations, to support meaningful, lasting growth.
I offer sliding scale rates from $25-$130/session.

I am a Mindfulness and Trauma Resilience trainer who believes success and happiness result from a balanced mindset. Being stuck in unhealthy patterns, failing to accomplish the change we desire, or sustaining the nurturing relationships we deserve are all issues we expect to resolve on our own, but when we can't we feel defeated. EMDR Therapy and other somatic tools support deeper understanding, so our own best solutions become clear while increasing skills and practices that grow fulfillment.

*VIDEO & PHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE* Have your session in the comfort of your own home (or backyard, or while you’re on a walk, or …well you get the picture).

I believe everyone has the tools to feel better, they just sometimes need help learning how to access these tools and use them their benefit. Being a therapist is a privilege, and I would be honored to help you through a difficult time in your life.

Being a human is hard! Managing relationships (familial, romantic, platonic, professional) with all kinds of different personalities, feeling comfortable and confident in our careers, finding healthy and lasting love, and feeling good about ourselves through it all can feel like an impossible task. We were never given a manual on how to do this! And while, as humans, we are incredibly resilient and have somehow found a way to get this far, some of the coping mechanisms we have developed throughout our lives may not be serving us anymore. I help clients gain insight into their thoughts & behaviors to help improve their outcomes.

Perhaps you are encountering roadblocks of a happier and more satisfying life. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, and dissatisfaction as well as relationship difficulties, can leave us feeling frustrated and confused. I extend my help in a safe and supportive way. Together, we can explore your experiences to create meaning and movement towards fulfillment. Our earlier life events may have influenced us to establish unhelpful patterns in how we regard ourselves and relate to others.

Life can be tough. And, it can always be better.

If depression, anxiety, fear, addiction or any other issue is standing in the way of the life you would like to be living, please know there is help.

The clients who seek me most are those searching for meaning in the adverse events that have happened to them and their courage to live wholly and fully while suffering. I believe people who are ready for this style of rich internal therapy work are willing to leave the comfort of their suffering to live a more authentic life with grace and flexibility through radical self-acceptance.

I bring a curious and warm approach to my work with clients, where I invite a kind of exploration and awareness that can lead to deeper self understanding, compassion, and a relief from unhelpful patterns. I work at your pace to build trust and a feeling of safety in the therapy room and provide a space where you can voice and sift through intrusive thoughts and feelings that you may not feel able to process elsewhere. My practice is primarily comprised of adults, teenage girls, young children and LGBTQ+ individuals.

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.

I work with women, teens and couples to transform shame, anxiety and addictive cycles into empowerment and embodiment. I believe you already possess all the wisdom you need, it's just buried beneath confusing messages and unresolved pain. Maybe you have been through great loss and heartache that deserves to be grieved, or you fixate on externally defined standards of success. I strive to provide a nurturing space and practical skills to help you reclaim your voice and recognize your inherent worth.
