Family Therapy in 91011

Hi there, I'm Hillary! Welcome to a transformative journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through a holistic approach that honors mind, body, and spirit. My therapeutic philosophy centers on empowering clients to unlock their true potential through exploring and working through how your personal life experiences have shaped you. We can find and navigate where old wounds can be healed in order for changes to be made.

My mission is to empower you to achieve your most fulfilling life. I provide client-centered & trauma-informed services to adults, adolescents, couples, families & teams. If you are struggling with sadness, worry, anger, intrusive thoughts, loneliness, chronic pain, career or work/life balance issues, or family or relational challenges, I can provide support. Our work together will be collaborative & will focus on achieving your individual goals. You will develop further awareness of your barriers & strengths, & learn & rehearse new skills toward increasing satisfaction, success, & connection with yourself and others.

"If you are interested in changing and enhancing your life, then I am happy to work with your problems, even if it be a personal issue, family, marriage, handling the pressures of what is going on in our lives today. I work with professional relationships, who are attempting coping with the major" stressors of anxiety and feelings of being unsettled, and living under very different conditions than a few years ago. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we can unearth longstanding patterns; help change behavior patterns that may holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I love what I do, and I deeply believe in the power of this work. I’ve seen it alter the lives of many, including my own life. My job is not to change people, but to offer people a space where change can take place. Together we will walk through the messiness and hardships of life to foster hope, insight, and lasting changes that heal.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a primary specialty in adolescent and young adult mental health, as well as extensive experience treating adults and families. As a therapist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, I primarily treat individuals and families with various mental health issues, young adults transitioning to adulthood, as well as gender affirming care. In my private practice, I provide treatment to individuals (6+) and families that emphasizes healing, emotional health, and life satisfaction by strengthening coping skills, positive self-image, mood and overall functioning.

I tend to lead with creativity, humor, and compassion in all the work I do. I am passionate about walking alongside those on the brave journey of counseling: seeing marriages and families thrive when it doesn’t seem possible, for the individual who feels so different, stuck or out of place, for the artist struggling with the industry pressures, and for the new mother in need of processing your beautiful and difficult role. I provide a space that is authentic and sacred, where growth can truly happen.

Don't you sometimes wish you knew what "normal" adolescent behavior is and what is not? How to talk to your teen about drugs, sex, and your own issues in parenting? Worried about your adolescent and think he or she could benefit from professional help? I have worked with teens since 1992. If you are concerned about what's really going on inside your teenager's head, perhaps I can help. You can contact me (and learn more about me) at: Leda@teentherapylosangeles.com

Our team at Teen Translation, Inc., is expert on adolescent development, using treatment modalities that align with the teen’s developmental tasks. We love to “get preventative” by 1) joining with the adolescent to create a healthy identity and narrative, 2) connecting the teen to the family, drawing upon their greatest resource - you!, and 3) empowering the family to put the bumpers around adolescent exploration, while creating space for the teen to fall down, get back up, and discover their own capability and resiliency. There are a few factors, which I call the “fab five,” that contribute to adolescent behavior:

I primarily treat sleep problems and mood challenges in babies, children, teenagers and young adults. I am flexible and collaborative in my approach as I try to provide your family with the best experience possible.

My work is my passion and I consider it a privilege to provide mental health support to my clients. Through my experiences working at UCLA, Caltech, Fuller and Pepperdine universities, I have gained a rich understanding of emerging adulthood and life transitions. I offer individual and group therapy (telehealth/in-person) through my private practice in Pasadena, CA.

Hi, I am Estel! My specialties are marriage counseling, parenting, traumas, and issues relating to multigenerational family dynamics and cultural identity. Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed, a sense of belonging, and connection with others? Do you want to improve communication with your loved ones? I help couples and families recognize negative cycles and resolve conflicts so that they can build trust, connect, and restore relationships. Together, we will explore how one's family and childhood impact current relationships, restore connections & support systems, and reclaim a life of hope, meaning, and purpose.

I desire to work with individuals on their journey towards healing by creating a safe space through empathetic listening and humility. In our time together, I will walk alongside you towards the true freedom that comes from being honest in your relationship with others and yourself. I have seen the deep healing that comes from facing struggles head on, addressing the wounds of the past to move forward towards wholeness.

As a warm and curious therapist, I work with you to explore the inner dynamics of your personal story and to instill a renewed sense of hope. We look closely at self limiting patterns of belief and behavior which are often routed in culture and family- of- origin relationships, and we focus in on your strengths and resiliency. In a compassionate environment we address your specific goals and help you rediscover your authentic and vibrant self so that you may connect more deeply with the loved ones in your life, and with the work and activities that give you your sense of life's meaning.

Are you confused about why you do what you do? Are you ready to make lasting change? This small group practice works on a sliding scale.

Additional therapeutic interests include: childhood abuse recovery, domestic violence recovery, divorce recovery, parenting, and adjustment to disabilities. We provide outpatient psychotherapy for both men and women, both gay and straight. Family and couple therapy are also available. Treatment approaches vary to fit with the presenting concerns.

I am an experienced psychologist specializing in the treatment of adults, children, teens, and families. With adults, I help with life transitions, improve relationships with loved ones, overcome worries, sadness, and destructive habits, and build confidence. I am up-to-date with the research in treating depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, and adult ADD. With children, I help with ADHD, behavior problems, self-esteem issues, coping with major life transitions, and fighting within the family. If your child acts-out, seems distractible, or needs someone to talk to during difficult times, I can help.

We all want to be understood and feel like we are making progress towards our life goals. My approach is comforting, humorous, humble, creative and lovingly direct. Everyone needs connection and in my experience the benefits of connecting and being seen by someone in therapy are many.

I specialize in working with dually diagnosed individuals and their families with severe and persistent mental illnesses, such as Polysubstance Dependence, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, Bipolar Disorder, and Acute Anxiety Disorders. I have always had a special interest in working with family and couples, especially where one or both suffer from severe mental illness. I am on staff at several local inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities, and help facilitate hospital admissions in a sensitive and professional manner. I offer individual and family community interventions as needed. I also help professionals coping with workplace stress.
