Encino West Psychological Services provides comprehensive psychological assessments for school-aged children experiencing challenges in an academic setting. As a parent with two children, I understand the anxiety that can come from dropping your children off at school every morning, knowing they will be out of your care for the next 6-8 hours. I have been advocating for the educational needs of children for many years and this journey has shed light on how important it is to know what a child or adolescent may be struggling with while at school.

Hi, my name is Kelsie. For many of us, the response to painful thoughts, emotions and life events is to check out, numb, avoid or shut down. To me, therapy work is not about learning to get rid of all the "bad stuff." It’s about learning how to show up and keep going DESPITE the "bad stuff." I combine a warm and accepting style with concrete skills to help you regulate your emotions, tolerate distress, identify values and goals that make life worth living and challenge thought patterns that get in the way. Above all, my approach is collaborative: we will decide together what balance of those tools will work best for you.

Everybody gets depressed or anxious and overwhelmed at times. Our relationships are challenging and our lives leave a lot to be desired. We often feel stuck in past pain and are unable to enjoy the present. Those feelings are universal, they are part of being human. It is important to see them not as limitations, but as a stimulus to change and personal growth. There is a way to feel better no matter what your situation is.

Anxiety, depression, stressful transitions...we've all been there. Communication in our relationships and with ourselves begins to breakdown and we can feel lost and confused. I can help. I listen. For over 20 years I've helped people save their relationships, their jobs, and their feelings of self-worth. My approach is humanistic and mindful. I take my hard-earned education and my long years of practical experience and I apply what I've learned from innumerable seminars I've attended and the cutting edge strategies I continue to pursue, and I share what I know with you.

As we journey through life, we find ourselves at many crossroads promising opportunities for growth, renewal and reflection. Most of my clients are looking forward to making the most of these moments and experiencing the freedom that comes with self-knowledge, compassion and acceptance. My typical client is an older adult reflecting on what they need and want for their future and gaining (perhaps a new) perspective on the life they have lived thus far.

While there are many reasons people seek therapy, one thought is central: something has to change. Considering this idea takes tremendous courage. It can also bring tremendous reward. Change is not always easy, but it is possible. Therapy can be a powerful tool in this process by helping you gain insight, support, and confidence to develop new patterns and behaviors. As a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with people to identify the source of their pain and empower them to resolve it using evidenced-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies.

Many people experience anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. Often, they feel there is no one they can trust and no one who can understand them. The impact of this emotional suffering can make daily life painful. It can put strain on relationships with family, friends, and peers. For over the past 10 years I have been specializing in working with individuals and couples, and have found that there are similar challenges that we all face while trying to navigate through our daily lives.

Listening and empathy are critical elements to creating and maintaining a trusting, safe and therapeutic relationship. This is first and foremost how I treat and hold my clients. Within this environment I work with the client to tease out and understand their issues and recognize behaviors and patterns. I assist them in accepting who they are and I collaborate with the client to determine their desires as well as find their own answers. I use a psychodynamic frame, but utilize an eclectic approach to suit the client's comfort level.

Sometimes no matter how much we try to prepare for life, things just happen and we find ourselves feeling out of control, stressed and seeking guidance. Sometimes we're too hard on ourselves, our own biggest critics and it feels like you just can't catch a break!

Together, we'll talk about what's going on and brainstorm ways to get your life back to where you want it to be. I'm on your team, ready to help you find your way!

I specialize in helping individuals and families heal from traumatic and stressful experiences, including adults abused as children, family relationships, narcissistic abuse, hoarding disorder, and family estrangement. You may not know what to expect from therapy, but you know you need to make some changes in your life so you can move forward. Stress, anxiety, and traumatic experiences are highly prevalent in our lives, and sometimes people need help and support in dealing with difficult/stressful situations. I am a trauma therapist specializing in family relationships that involve conflict, abuse, and a cycle of dysfunction.

I have been working in the field of psychology for 25 years. My personal nature combined with superior training allows me to help people manage the complicated array of emotions that naturally occur among all of us. My post-doctoral training strengthened my ability to work effectively with children and their families, in addition to helping couples and parents. I will help you understand yourself, your relationships, so that you will be able to manage your feelings as opposed to experiencing that your feelings hold you hostage. It is then that you will feel more alive and more connected to yourself and your surroundings.

Let's face its: being human is tough, and so is life in the digital age. Even the best of us can end up feeling isolated, alone, and as if no one understands us. We all have moments of desperation and fear, can feel lost and stuck, and as if all avenues have been exhausted. We may grapple with thoughts of "I'm not good enough", and when we see others lives portrayed on Social Media, we cannot help but compare our own lives to theirs. However, we don't always see the whole picture, and relationships are unfortunately not as easy as a swipe on an app.

You are looking for a therapist to understand the multidimensional aspect of who you are - on a spiritual, physical and emotional level. You’ve been listening to some great podcasts about becoming a better version of yourself, learning to be your own healer, or diving deep into “the work”. Maybe you’re toying with the idea of starting or restarting therapy because you like the idea of living a life of freedom, empowerment, and connection. I’d be honored to be your guide. I can help you deeply examine your life, better understand how you work and what you need, and develop the tools necessary to thrive.

People who come to see me are often dealing with painful life-altering changes, depression, or anxiety. Some have long-standing emotional problems that have affected relationships or progress in their careers. People who have had therapy in the past and found it helpful are seeking to learn and understand more about their strengths and vulnerabilities. Frequently couples are struggling to recapture good feelings they once had with each other. Others want to recover from discovered infidelity. With my help they seek to manage the guilt, devastation and pain of lost trust so they may create a new relationship on sturdier ground.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
