Existential Therapists in Chinatown, Los Angeles, CA

GPS tells you what to do, where to turn, or tells you how long until you get there. I don't give advice as you could get from family, friends, coworkers, or classmates. I create a confidential, non-judgemental, and collaborative space for you to explore your options, address barriers and obstacles, and help you feel confident about making decisions and changes. We work on building on what you know of yourself and being open to learning more and trying something new. We learn to stay calm and grounded so we know what to do when we're lost or get cut off, and you'll get to know you like your area so you won't need to rely on that GPS

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.

I help lawyers reduce anxiety so they can make courageous changes in their lives. Sometimes it feels impossible to slow down. You want to enjoy close relationships without worrying about work, and set boundaries so you can actually enjoy time off. Maybe you look around and wonder how other people seem to do it all. You feel heavy, anxious, and exhausted. What you need is a better way to manage difficult emotions so you can feel like yourself again.

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.

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.

My name is James Milner. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from the San Francisco Bay Area. I have extensive training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe in helping people live better lives.

Feeling like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough? Self limiting beliefs such as this can generate anger, guilt, sadness, fear and other feelings that can lead to anxiety, depression, or other symptoms of mental and physical distress. They can impact our identity, relationships, health, and ultimately prevent us from self-actualizing and becoming our true self. Together, we will explore your feelings and beliefs, use curiosity to cultivate understanding of them and ultimately, unburden the parts of you holding these self limiting beliefs so you truly be you.

Hi there! My name is Darrin Dennis. I am a registered associate professional clinical counselor who believes that people reach out for help because they're experiencing some kind of pain they can no longer manage on their own. As a therapist, I come alongside my clients, building a personal and authentic relationship so I can walk with you through your first steps toward growth and onto helping you understand, face, then manage and heal from that pain. I am a firm believer in the power of transformation, inwardly and outwardly, and I believe this is the key to living one’s life to the greatest and fullest potential possible.
