My name is Terrance Flynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an ex-New Yorker based in Los Angeles. I work collaboratively with adults, exploring ways to invigorate clients who are stuck creatively, relationally, professionally, emotionally, or in some other unknown way. It could be parenting or professional malaise, writer's block, or a stagnant relationship. It could be that a client keeps responding to a past trauma in their day-to-day interactions, or has stopped growing as a result of addiction.

Hello, I am Jeremy Simpkin, LMFT (he/they). Therapy is relational work, so together, we will look at how you are relating with yourself - like how self-critical thoughts keep you from doing the creative things you want to do - and how you are relating with others - like how past traumas are keeping you from fulfillment in relationships with your loved ones. This is a deeply transformative process, and I am consistently amazed by each person's journey.

Hello, I'm Dr. Smith, I'm a licensed psychologist. I have a difficult time managing my excitement about the growth of Telehealth. It is a shame it took a global pandemic to truly launch it into the mainstream. Telehealth allows individuals to receive therapy that previously might not have been accessible. I have a particular strength in working with anger management, depression, and anxiety. I have helped many individuals overcome these challenges in the past. I also have a particular niche for working with diverse community cultures on these issues and helping them work through them.

It can feel like the sky is falling. There is more confusion, fear, and uncertainty than ever before. This can be debilitating as we struggle to get out of bed, our work performance suffers and then we find ourselves alone and isolated not knowing how to get back to our previous “normal”. We are constantly overstimulated, told what we ought to be, as we become lost with no way to cope. Talk Therapy combined with a safe place to feel heard and understood can guide us to make sense of it all and progress to a higher state of functioning.
