Couples Counseling Therapists in Chinatown, Los Angeles, CA

In my experience, suffering thrives in isolation. That’s why it can be so helpful to talk about your experience with someone. As a trained professional, I'll work with you to process your anxiety, grief, shame, and depression. I want to help you trust your feelings and body, grow your self-acceptance, and learn how to be both creative and flexible in the face of the inevitable hardships of life.

Personal growth, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, issues surrounding sexual orientation or gender identification, life transitions or everyday life impediments are my primary focus for treatment. I draw upon your own personal strengths, talents, and desires to identify the options you have to move past the challenges you've identified and create alternative outcomes. Whatever the need, growth is a process that is worked on collaboratively in treatment. When the challenge exists between you and a loved one, treatment highlights the development of clear, honest, and respectful communication so that all parties may gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the person next to them.

Dear fellow traveler, do you want to find calm amidst anxiety and stress, claim inner peace from past wounds, rekindle love and affection with your partner(s), seek peace with food, discover pleasure with your body, or get more clarity and acceptance about who you are? As a seasoned trauma/ relationship/ sex specialist, I help highly motivated humans like you to create the life you've been waiting for. Together, we navigate the challenges you face, not only transforming your life, but also breaking generational cycles, and fostering healing for future generations (if you choose to have them).

A person most often seeks therapy when a part of his/her life feels unmanageable. Often past skills used to cope are no longer effective and one may feel vulnerable and alone even in the presence of others. Sometimes these feelings occur after a recent transition in a relationship, career choice, or a recent move. At other times, someone may experience diffuse feelings of anxiety and sadness without a specific stressor.

We will work in a confidential space, where we thoughtfully,carefully, and intelligently reflect on your emotional life. We can gently explore the origins of your feelings and work through how they show themselves. Our work will be focused in the here and now: by exploring who you are right now, change in your outlook or actions becomes possible. Generally, I use ideas firmly grounded in psychoanalytic theory and technique that are informed by my personal practice of Zen meditation of over ten years. Paying attention to what you do and how you feel can reveal the source of discomfort.

IN EMOTIONAL PAIN? RELATIONSHIP IN CRISIS? Therapy is a unique opportunity to transform whatever pain or dissatisfaction you may be experiencing into clarity and a sense of well-being.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals and couples use their struggles to grow and achieve a happier, more fulfilling life. My style is warm and intuitive, thoughtful and engaged. I welcome a call to talk about the issues that are motivating you to consider therapy right now.

I work from a psychoanalytic perspective with children, adolescents, and adults struggling from a variety of issues, including difficulty with intimacy and relatedness, recognizing and expressing emotional needs, feelings of loneliness or emptiness, self-destructive or self sabotaging behaviors, or repeating painful life problems with little sense of control. Since children and adolescents have not yet fully developed the capacity to talk about their emotional experience, difficulties tend to show in their behaviors, such as opposition, defiance, poor grades, or turning to drugs. In my work with adults I offer individual or couples therapy in a safe and nonjudgemental atmosphere.

I am interested in your story - where you have been and hope to go, what you have done and dream of doing, and who you are and have yet to become. My clients are often highly intuitive and high achieving adults, creatives in the art and entertainment industry, helpers, parentified adult children, entrepreneurs, executives, couples, Asian American professionals, and parents. Common issues include: relationship issues with loved ones, dissatisfaction with current life/direction, work/life balance stress, burnout, codependency, self-neglect, complex family dynamics, performance/creative blocks, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Welcome. I work with children, adolescents, and adults coping with relational, attachment, and anxiety disorders. In my practice, therapy often entails exploring the impact of early attachment experiences on our views of self and our ability to form close, meaningful relationships throughout life. In our work together, you will be treated with warmth, empathy, and openness. The most important part of our work is the development of a trusting relationship. This relationship creates a thoughtful, safe space to explore your strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach to clinical work is largely relational and psychodynamic.

When you're not getting along with your loved one(s), everything is harder. Whether you're in conflict with your spouse, partner(s), child(ren), parent(s), sibling(s), friend(s), or coworker(s), relationship distress is consuming and painful. If you're struggling in your relationship(s), it can take a toll on your physical + mental health, your work performance, your parenting, and your overall wellbeing. If you've gotten to this point, it's essential to devote focused and compassionate attention to YOU: what you're needing and how to get your needs met, so you can enjoy your life again.

I am passionate at helping mothers, individuals and couples redefine their lives on their own terms.

In these moments of change, I offer my clients expertise and therapeutic support to help you navigate these unfamiliar transitions.

Hello. I'm Bradly Long, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. From personal and professional experiences, I believe in a psychodynamic approach to learning about ourselves and where we come from while also improving upon our daily functioning. We are all works in progress. From my personal therapeutic experience as a client and then as a therapist, my focus is exploring and learning where we come from. What were we taught? I'm most comfortable with clients who aren't afraid of confronting what isn't working for them and talking about the elephant in the room.

I am a psychoanalytic therapist who works with repetitive relationship problems, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression and men's issues. These often show up as poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and disconnection, false-self, obsessions and addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Sometimes people feel that something isn't right, but they aren't sure what. When friends, family and self-help aren't enough, I take the time to get to know you and listen for what repeats itself in your thoughts and actions.
