Emotionally Focused Therapists in 90095

Great to meet you! I'm Dr. Alice Phang and I am a Los Angeles based licensed psychologist. I am also currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. CedarSeoul Psychological Services helps individuals struggling with anxiety, emotional pain, and relationship problems understand their issues and create meaningful change. I provide individualized, holistic counseling, aiming to bring harmony to the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of your well-being.

Current openings for new clients (telehealth only). Offering EMDR as well, at this time. I became a therapist to help people reach the life they're wanting, hoping, and deep down knowing they're meant for. I'm here to help you. I focus on helping adults with their self confidence, boundaries, communication, trauma, depression, and more. I'm here to provide a safe space for you to work through the challenges going on in your life. I work with you throughout therapy, side by side, one step at a time. I am currently accepting new clients for individual and couple's therapy in California and Texas.

Welcome! I provide holistic psychotherapy for adults and teens. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe and understood, so together we can get to the root of your challenges and find your authentic path forward. Whether you are facing significant changes in your life, struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling unsatisfied in your relationships, therapy can help you reconnect with your innate strengths to find greater clarity and ease. I specialize in supporting women and LGBTQ+ adults in their 20s through periods of change and uncertainty.

Hello, my name is Priscilla Altuve. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth services in California. My personal approach is to meet you where you are and take all parts of your life into consideration. This includes your mental, emotional, and physical experiences to help you identify ways to develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

What do you want? In therapy with me this will be the question we start with. Sometimes we know what we really want and know that thoughtful support will help us get there. Sometimes we’ve lost track of what we really want, and need support to rediscover it. I help people with both. As you talk me through what’s troubling you, I’ll help you identify and think through your feelings and experiences. I’ll help you figure out how much of your challenge is an internal one in need of processing and how much of it is an external one in need of action. With these as our guide, I’ll help you make changes that will improve your life.

Are you in a stage of life that’s filled with change? You may be starting your career or transitioning out of college and wondering “What’s next?” Maybe you’re trying to figure out who you really are, untangling what you’ve been told all your life from what’s truly important to you. It feels like there are more questions than answers, and you’re tired of this anxiety, overwhelm, or lack of motivation holding you back. You have ambitions and goals for your life, relationships, and career, but can’t seem to get out of this rut on your own. You’re ready to make a change.

Are you struggling with obsessive food thoughts, unbreakable food behaviors or body hate? Has an eating disorder or food struggle stolen your brain space, relationships, confidence and ability to function? I know how this feels. You are left physically exhausted, stuck in your self-loathing thoughts and defeated. I spent the last 10+ years specializing in working with eating disorders and supporting/educating family members because I believe no one should have to feel this way. Whether this is your first stop or you've been in treatment, I am glad you are here. One thing I know for sure, we are not meant to do this alone.

We all have emotional needs to feel understood, accepted, and validated by others. But, seeking support may be more challenging to some of us because of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, language differences, religious reasons, or other minority status. I went through similar challenges and I have a great passion toward working with people who feel isolated, misunderstood, and disenfranchised . My heart especially goes out to immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities, and international students, although I enjoy working with anyone who has the courage to seek help. I also have an expertise in helping couples and families.

You are so tired of not feeling well, but hesitate to contact a therapist: Can I trust a stranger? Can anybody really help me? On the face of it, you function well in life, but deep inside you feel you don't actually “show up,” or you don't fully “belong.” It is as if your real authentic self is hiding, sensing that “being you” might not be safe enough. Aspects of your life story might explain why you feel uncomfortable, why you feel different than others, or why you are down or anxious. I would love to help you explore such issues in therapy, and work with you on improving your daily life experience.

Stressed? Burned out? Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed by the world? Difficulty communicating? Feeling disconnected from your partner or yourself? The world is a crazy messy place sometimes (especially lately). Our past and current circumstances often create a difficult place to be in our thoughts and our feelings and we often can feel “stuck” in our current circumstances. Some of us carry really heavy burdens and keep on a brave face for those around us because for a lot of reasons like our jobs, roles at home, family, friends, keeping up with the Joneses, you name it!

Hi, thank you for being here! Working on your mental health is one of the bravest and most important things you can do for yourself. There are things in your life — from the present or, often, from the past — that might not feel great. These things can leak through —affecting your future. It takes courage to look what's not working in your life and make positive change. I want to support you in moving towards the life you want!

I am a warm, empathic, and curious therapist. I cultivate a compassionate environment in which we can explore and process the concerns most salient for you. Wherever we place our attention, we will work together to nurture your inherent resilience and address the barriers to your wellbeing.

I hold the belief that we grow and change through relationships and because of that my style is relational, trauma informed, collaborative and social justice centered. It is not my job or purpose to help create tools for capitalism. I believe there are no predetermined paths or timelines for healing, and that the best way to get where you want is to focus on what keeps you safe, allows you time to rest and helps you create the community you want and need to thrive.

No one ever said it (life, relationships, career, school) would be easy but should it be this hard? Taking the first step to explore therapy can be challenging but it can be helpful to obtain support during times of transition or difficulty. If you are still unsure, or even if you are familiar with the therapeutic process, meeting me and getting more information about how I work just takes one session, and a consultation costs you nothing.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, pressure from today's society? Maybe feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, struggling with how to help yourself daily? My therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique journey, placing emphasis on creating a safe environment that encourages open and sincere dialogue. I work with Adolescents, Teens, and women who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and Chronic pain & illnesses by introducing strategies and tools designed for you and with you. I will help inspire you to face challenges head-on and grow stronger by equipping you with practical tools to use to help you mange daily life.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds. As a licensed clinical and sport psychologist, I am available to work with people who are looking to improve their performance on and off the field. Whether you are an athlete or not, I view myself as a collaborative teammate who can help you achieve your goals. I have experience working with people from all backgrounds, including adults, adolescents, children, families, and athletes. I have also worked in various settings, such as correctional facilities, university counseling centers, and private practice.

I believe that understanding someone’s present world requires insight regarding the past and how it is impacting life now. Therapy can help you break out of old, maladaptive patterns of behavior that are not useful anymore while concurrently providing you concrete strategies for managing overwhelming feelings and challenges in the moment. Sometimes it’s difficult to even imagine your goals, understand what’s going wrong or think of solutions to overwhelming problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or just a general sense of dissatisfaction, therapy can help you grow and maximize your true potential.

As a licensed therapist, I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone’s healing and growth, where they are free to be wholly human. I recognize that seeking therapy can have stigmas attached to it among some marginalized and minority communities. I am passionate about breaking through these stigmas and can uniquely understand coming from these communities myself as a Muslim and child of immigrants. I aim to provide therapy within a social justice framework that is holistic and trauma informed. I believe that the personal is political, and therefore, that therapy can not be inherently apolitical.

Do you feel misunderstood? Do you find it difficult to explain yourself or talk about your feelings? It can be challenging trying to navigate life’s hard times by yourself. I would like to offer you a safe space where you can explore your voice, narrative, and identity.
