Therapists in Woodland Hills, CA

Don’t recognize yourself in the mirror? Feeling out of integrity with who you really are? Struggling to come into your identity with confidence? Isolated and hopeless, or lost in your relationships? I deeply understand how painful these challenges are, and how awful it is to be misunderstood. As a queer, sober woman I've worked through many of these challenges myself. This is why I specialize in working with young adults, adolescents and couples. My goal as a transpersonal counselor is to guide you toward self-realization and freedom from the weight of your past, expanding beyond the traditional western framework of therapy.

The result is a sense of reconnection with one's self. We have two facilities: Center and Clinic. Our center constitutes of an interdisciplinary team. Our clinic is a training facility with registered associates under the direct supervision of Dr. Karol Darsa, PsyD.

Hello, I am an Associate MFT- Art Therapist. I am of Zapotec heritage, raised on Tataviam lands, known today as the Northeast San Fernando Valley. I understand the importance of clients knowing that their therapist is aware of the way systemic issues play a role in our mental health. I attune to issues of systemic oppression such as racism/white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, ableism, patriarchy, fatphobia, and other forms of structural violence and its related traumas. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative, anti-imperialist, and I offer holistic, non-carceral support.

With over 25 years experience as a clinician, I help individuals develop insights for resolving problems and overcoming challenges that obstruct growth and healing. I tailor the therapy to fit each individual’s needs by combining a compassionate approach with expertise and direct feedback. I’m trained in individual and family therapy with an advanced degree in Depth Psychology. In addition, I specialize in dream interpretation and analyzing unconscious material to uncover the root of difficulties or blind areas that inhibit access to inner wisdom.

Is something in your life just not working for you right now? For many people, therapy is the key to improving relationships, finding joy in one's career, and letting go of patterns that keep them stuck. I provide a safe space with an experienced and supportive approach that allows you to explore your potential for positive change. If you're committed to taking the next steps, together we can find ways you can create the healthy meaningful life you desire, while identifying and avoiding the toxic connections or choices that have held you back in the past.

My ideal client is a person who is longing to find purpose and meaning in their life and who look beyond mere symptom removal to a sense of who they are, what information the symptom may offer them, and how to live a more fulfilling life, be it as an individual, couple or member of a family. In short, a person who is interested in exploring the depths of their psyche and soul and is not just looking for advice or a quick fix; someone who understands that there is profound meaning in their suffering.

Do you ever feel like you just can't quite get to where you want to be in life? Or that life can be so overwhelming that you don't know what choice is right? Do you struggle with understanding or coping with your thoughts or emotions that you end up feeling clouded from making important decisions? Our values and relationships often drive us through life, but they can sometimes be confusing or feel unattainable. Life can be a rollercoaster that leaves us feeling lost, frustrated, sad, or hopeless, but there are always solutions.

Pregnancy, birthing, and early parenting are physically and emotionally life altering transitions. For many families they can be a mix of immense joy and overwhelming suffering. If you are struggling with infertility or loss, the road to parenthood is even more emotionally burdensome. Trained in maternal mental health, I help women and couples work through the challenges of difficulty conceiving, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and early parenting. I help the whole family to develop resources, make meaning out of your experiences, transform your identity, and forge supportive and loving relationships within your family unit.

Life is blended with different stages, and we are made to challenge life in different ways. Never give up!.... With more than nine years of providing mental health services, I have had great experiences with my clients through their life transformations. Therapeutic sessions are such mutual teamwork. I hope to be the one who creates a miracle in your life....... I will help you even if you are in financial difficulties; just come before its too late!
