Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

As a culture, we are taught to suppress our emotions. We would do anything and everything to distract ourselves as opposed to diving in. I’m a firm believer that our bodies hold our emotions, experiences and traumas. If we turn within, we can find the resources to deal with any problem and we can create a life of satisfaction, love and joy. I am a Licensed psychotherapist that sees individuals and couples via telehealth in California, New Jersey and Florida. I am the founder of a CA based Group Psychotherapy Practice called The Feeling Space (www.thefeelingspace.me / 424 274 0518). Check out some of my colleagues below:

Many of us are struggling to get through the days as we deal with the stress of balancing complicated thoughts and feelings about identity, relationships, and coping with the constant pressures of living in our current situation. Whether it is the weight of the pandemic, the state of our society, personal and relational struggles, or all of the above, I would be honored to walk with you as a supportive, consistent, and helpful companion and guide in your journey towards healing and strength. I view the therapeutic relationship as an equal partnership as we work together towards the fulfillment of your personal and relational goals.

Find Your Center: Many of us today feel disconnected. Our days are filled with a steady stream of obligations and desires. We call that: ‘life.’ Directing our unique path in a proactive way can bring new meaning to our lives. Collaboratively, we'll find a path that leads to your truest self and to the person you want to become. Building Relationships: Cultivating intimacy with others requires developing intimacy with oneself. With compassion and guidance it is possible to learn to love oneself and, in turn, love others more deeply.

Wellness matters in obtaining a higher quality of life. Daily stressors and emotions impact our well-being and ability to grow. By using the mindful approach, we can process the emotions and traumas that are stuck in the body through aches, anxiety, depression, flashbacks, and triggers. We can work on increasing intimacy, respect, and affection in a relationship. I am a bilingual speaking (Croatian/English) marriage and family therapist and I work with individuals, couples, youths, adults, and families of all ethnic backgrounds, religions, and sexual orientations.

My name is Alex, and I am happy that you have found your way to my psychology today profile. I believe that human beings possess and innate ability to move toward happiness and health, but sometimes adversity, life transitions, and challenging life experiences can get in the way of leading productive and meaningful lives. Having tools to help cope with difficult emotions brought on by change and uncertainty can have a powerful impact on your mental and physical health.

Do you have a difficult time imagining what safety looks like? Do you feel like there's a disconnect that keeps you from the truest parts of yourself? If you've found your way here, it's likely because you're carrying a burden that's become too heavy to bear alone. Trauma, grief, and attachment wounds are not just about the past - it shows up in your body, in the relationships that you have with yourself and others, and shapes the lens in which you view the world. Here, you'll find a safe space to untangle the complexities of your experiences so that you can focus on rebuilding the sense of control and peace you deserve.

So many of us are misunderstood, feel the need to hide our authentic selves, or are unsure of who we even are. Old beliefs keep us stuck and afraid to live the life we desire to live. My passion is ignited when I can bridge the gap between the old stories we tell ourselves and the new ones we write together. Bring me your old stories and beliefs. I welcome all of them. Let's explore where they come from and decide what you want to keep and what no longer serves you. I create a safe holding environment through radical presence and non-judgment. I am collaborative and I trust my clients to know themselves in ways I never could.

For more than 15 years I have been helping individuals, couples, families, and groups overcome challenges in their lives. I currently work with adults to treat a variety of issues and special in helping those impacted by addiction. I have a master’s degree in Addiction Counseling, a credential as a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and am a Nationally Certified Life & Recovery coach. My approach to counseling is one of collaborating with my clients to develop their desired goals for treatment, assess their challenges and strengths and then structure a plan that works for them to achieve their goals.

Finding the right fit with a therapist is so important, as so much of the work of therapy happens in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to connect with you, help you feel understood and be a partner in doing the work that will make your life better. I am an active participant in the sessions and work to help you connect to your strengths and increase your coping strategies. I have over 25 years of experience and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

I am licensed as a marriage and family therapist in the states of California and New York.

Additionally, I provide coaching services for individuals traveling throughout the greater United States and internationally.

Welcome! Maybe you've found yourself here because you need help untangling something. Maybe you're carrying longstanding burdens; maybe those burdens aren't even yours to hold. If you are seeking holistic, intersectional, emotion focused, justice-oriented therapy, I'm here to assist you! I provide trauma and self-exploration therapy to adults, couples, and teenagers in a dynamic, compassionate container. I aim to instill self-understanding in my clients, and empower them to grow in places they've historically had to shrink.

Do you feel alone and unsupported, or stuck in a situation, feelings, or a dynamic you desperately want to change? Many of us are having relationship issues, or are overwhelmed with emotion, feeling anxious or depressed. It may feel like you are struggling, feeling powerless, and without a path forward. Despite how difficult it seems, I encourage you to reach out for help.

Living in survival mode can be a constant struggle. Considering whether to begin or continue your therapy journey is a step in which you should feel proud. As an associate psychotherapist, I serve individuals, couples, and families. My clients may be enduring the effects of long-term and short-term traumas, depressive and anxiety-related disorders, grief and loss, living with stress, chronic pain, childhood abuse (neglect, physical, sexual, emotional, smothering), personality disorders, relational problems, low self-worth, coping issues, codependency, abusive relationships, sexually related concerns, and general avoidance.

People come to therapy for different reasons. You may feel frustrated that you'll never find the right relationship, feel overwhelmed with anxiety or feel like you can't stop beating yourself up for past mistakes. You may be constantly comparing yourself to other people and feel like everyone else has things more figured out than you. You may feel disconnected and unhappy, but just not exactly sure why or what to do about it. Therapy is a way to deepen understanding and move towards healing, self-acceptance and a greater sense of well-being.

It can be painful to struggle with issues and wish that they might somehow disappear. I understand how these issues can sometimes make you feel your life is stuck and that they can prevent you from living or enjoying your life more fully. I also know how difficult it can be to seek help or talk about these issues. This is why it is my approach to get to know each client and find an individualized and unique path to addressing the issues that are preventing them from creating a greater sense of well-being and happiness.

Welcome! I am a trauma focused therapist and use an innovative therapeutic approach that blends psychodynamic principles with a more holistic mindset. It is my belief that we are multifaceted beings and the whole of us needs to be supported. My practice is a supportive space for all my clients, both individual and couples, to explore their deepest thoughts and feelings, enabling the integration of mind, body, and spirit to foster a more abundant life. Healing is a unique process and therefore treatment is personalized to meet your specific needs and goals. I would be honored to be your companion on your healing journey!
