Therapists in Silver Lake, CA

People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe and understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are, and yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling numb or disconnected, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning the direction we are heading and need to find some hope or clarity. Self compassion & radical self-acceptance are cornerstones of my work. I'd like to explore these concepts with you and help you make meaning of your life and sense of self.

My focus as a therapist is to help clients work through old behaviors and thought patterns that are no longer serving them. I work with clients who are seeking personal growth, healing, and would like to develop a greater sense of personal agency. I provide support with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life changes, as well as isolation and loneliness. I also welcome clients seeking therapy for the first time.

You know that you have the skills, creativity, and passion to have the career and life you envision for yourself. And yet, you feel overwhelmed and a little lost when it comes to trying to balance both. I offer immersive wilderness retreats, which are different from individual therapy. Wilderness retreats are a place where you can slow down and reset your intentions. Take a break from the demands of life and get in touch with your own voice and what you need, so you can return to your work, relationships, and life feeling calmer and more grounded.

I have helped countless people grow, heal emotional wounds, improve their relationships, and overcome anxiety, depression, sadness, and anger. I have had the privilege of engaging in work that has helped individuals, couples and families, who are struggling with various interpersonal challenges, to make choices that will support increased self-confidence, as well as fortify healthier, fulfilling relationships.

Welcome! We all experience struggles from time to time where we need more support. Coming to therapy will help you gain a better understanding of who you are, where you come from, and how to cope with and respond to life's challenges. I offer a personalized approach to therapy designed to help you discover new insights into yourself and your relationships. I work to create a space where you have the freedom to express yourself without judgement, and leave having felt heard and understood.

In this time of unprecedented uncertainty and stress, my clients have expressed new feelings of grief, isolation, exhaustion and burnout. They report difficulty concentrating, motivating and making decisions; and of course, they worry about what the future holds. I specialize in anxiety, panic, OCD, high-stress careers, the entertainment industry, relationships, and life transitions. I work with my clients to build coping skills, manage day-to-day stressors, and find a way to move forward even in the most challenging of circumstances. The way we work and live has changed, so we must change. I'm here to help.

I bring a mindfulness approach to psychotherapy, emphasizing an open, accepting, and non-judgmental awareness of oneself in the moment. By bringing awareness and compassion to your thoughts and feelings, you are able to deepen your understanding of yourself and create more meaningful relationships in the world. My style is gentle, patient and honest, having deep respect for the nature of the human condition and pace of meaningful growth. Our work together will encourage and challenge you in finding your way through fear and pain.

Hello and welcome! If you are struggling with identity issues, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, life transitions, and/or relationship difficulties, I believe that we can work together towards healing, resolution, and growth. I work psychodynamically with individuals and couples who want to heal past traumas and pain in order to achieve greater self-awareness, acceptance, and freedom. I believe we are all greatly affected by childhood experiences and relationships, and by examining these we can create the space for greater clarity and growth both on an individual level and within current relationships.

I work with young adults experiencing anxiety & self-doubt as they attempt to navigate dating, marriage, and career in their modern-day lives. I guide clients who feel overwhelmed juggling the demands of societal expectations on a path towards personal fulfillment and self actualization. Discovering how your past is affecting your present-day can help you get in the driver’s seat of your own life. Teaching radical acceptance towards all parts of you, I help you free yourself from the exhausting anxiety cycle & uncover the answers I believe lie within you.

I work with adults, helping my clients gain a deeper awareness of their experience, their history and their current circumstances. I work collaboratively and compassionately with my clients to make sense of their feelings, thoughts and behaviors and develop a sense of comfort and value in being who they are. Together, my clients and I explore their hopes and desires, and experiment with new possibilities and expanded ways of viewing themselves. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with past trauma, experiencing critical feelings about themselves or feeling challenged in their relationships.

I work with all populations but primarily adults, couples and adolescents. My work is to help you in meeting your potential and increasing abundance in all areas of your life. Working together in learning how to navigate in these difficult times with grace and ease. Healing, recovery and renewal.

My goal as a therapist is to help you examine your lived experience in a safe and inspiring way. In addition to my clinical experience I provide an environment that can be humorous and fun as well as vulnerable and challenging. We will identify the desired and undesired aspects of your habits and beliefs and attend to them with compassion and accountability. I am an active therapist and will help you connect the patterns and themes present in your psyche, in addition to your past and present actions, so that you can experience your life with increased self-compassion and gratitude.

People come to my office with a variety of concerns related to relationships, identity, spirituality, career, self-development, or life purpose. Others may be seeking relief from trauma response patterns, anxiety or depression. In a rapidly changing and tumultuous world, people often feel comforted by the presence of a therapist who can provide a safe enough space to understand themselves, resolve conflicts, and live with more coherence and freedom from unfulfilling relational patterns. I listen with an intuitive and compassionate heart and give you tools to navigate through stressful times with greater resiliency and embodiment.

It takes courage to understand the need for healing. My mission in psychotherapy is to help you learn how to help yourself. It should be emphasized that psychotherapy is far from "one size fit all." Therefore, the art of change in psychotherapy is achieved through a thorough psychological assessment in order to apply the precise remedies to your specific challenges. As a result, healing is often achieved by re-conceptualizing your past and presence, but most importantly is to improve your outlook on the future. I have been practicing as a psychologist for 26 years, on three continents.

Hello, I'm Dr. Thomas Duke, an experienced licensed Psychologist located in Pasadena. I provide therapy for adults, children, teens, and families.

Does anxiety make it difficult for you to navigate through your day, leaving you unsure as to what to do with yourself? Or, are you feeling sad or even depressed? Are uncomfortable with loosening restrictions and feeling a bit socially awkward right now? Are you having difficulty focusing and you're wondering what's going on there? Is there a big life decision that you would like to make and you need to talk through? Do you need some time and space to figure out what you'd like to do with your life and how to find your way there. We can work together to determine what feels right for you, and create the change you're looking for.

My priority is to help clients lead a valued, fulfilling life. I work well with creative or insightful individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life decisions or transitions. In addition to working through specific challenges, psychotherapy is an opportunity for you to gain insight into why you act the way you do, explore who you want to be in the world, and better understand what you need in order to thrive. I feel privileged to do this kind of work with people.
