Dr. Smith's genuine, grounded and integrated therapeutic approach allows for a connection to her clients where through modalities such as EMDR, IFS (parts work), and attachment-based talk therapy, there is a focus on insight shifting to somatic integration and actionable change, discovering and healing the core self, learning to regulate emotion and express needs in healthy ways, adapting internal dialogue, core beliefs, and reinforcing coping resources. Dr. Smith believes in building an authentic therapeutic relationship based on respect, empathy, challenge and change while creating a renewed sense of self, empowerment and hope.

Before I came to America I worked with soccer teams helping their players deal with anxiety, something I still do. Twice per year I return to England so therefore clients who are relatively independent and not in crisis are the best suited to working with me. Consequently, I do have a network of excellent support therapists who work with some of my clients while I am away. Many of my current clients are not sports people, they often have to cope with big work and home pressures. I try to help them locate their inner resources while maintaining a supportive stance throughout our meeting.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY27345) providing Individual, Group and Couples psychotherapy in a private practice setting in West Los Angeles. My approach to therapy is Relational. I find that the exploration of our interpersonal relationships, including the relationship between the therapist and client, can be helpful in overcoming internal conflicts we face in our lives. Furthermore I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative process which brings something unique to each patient-therapist relationship. Working together, we can uncover your personal needs and internal struggles, in real time, to better understand how to acknowledge and express these needs in your everyday life.

If you are looking for long-term change and a team of highly effective therapists, look no further. We believe that therapy begins with finding the right fit with the perfect therapist who takes a collaborative and holistic approach. Our team incorporates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and motivational therapy. Please contact Shannon Kalberg, LMFT to book a free 20-minute phone consultation.

I work with clients of all ages, helping them cope with symptoms related to Dual-Diagnosis, Addiction, Mental Illness, and those suffering with Psychogenic Pain (TMS). They want to live day-to-day with out the burden of their mental health condition, preventing them from engaging in a full and productive life.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and young children and their parents. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand the root of their symptoms and suffering so they can move forward in building the life and relationships they envision for themselves. Incorporating mindfulness and acceptance, I work to help individuals change relationships with painful thoughts and difficult emotions so they can fully engage in what is meaningful to them.

It may be hard to name: sadness, nervousness, frustration, loneliness, shame. Maybe a mix of those + more. Life maybe brought losses or hardships, causing grief. You’re curious if therapy can help. The therapy relationship is a powerfully healing tool. Feeling safe, heard, + valued can be transformative. I’m Angela, and I’m compassionately curious how your lived experience, including relationships, social forces, and world goings-on, has brought you to this place. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs; no cookie cutter treatment. Consider me an emotional escort lending support as you make your way through an unsure time.

Being in the presence of another individual who is accepting, non-judgmental and compassionate allows room for our best self to surface. As a therapist, my goal is to create an environment that is supportive of self-exploration and growth. We will work together to create a safe space for reflection on your experiences in the world. We will derive insight and trace meaning from your experiences, enabling true growth and change.

As a psychotherapist, I know that initiating change can be exciting and extremely challenging. I am dedicated to supporting you through the challenges that come along with the excitement of growing and changing. My commitment is to help you understand and accept all aspects of yourself, and to feel more connected to those around you.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and families from a strength-based approach. I frequently work with neurodevelopmental and life-adjustment challenges. This includes executive functioning issues, like ADHD, moodiness and depression, or anxiety due to high academic pressure, life stress, or divorce. I also work extensively with technology-related issues: Healthy-mind balance, boundary setting, as well as mindfulness practices for relaxation and expanding frustration tolerance.

I became a psychotherapist because I wanted to be "that someone" I always wished I had in my life. Someone who believes in you when you lose hope in yourself, and get stuck in what seems like perpetual darkness. I feel that my job is to help shed the first stream of light into the darkness, so together, we can see the bigger picture. Collaboratively, we'll explore your hopes, dreams, and goals. I will help you navigate, and walk by your side, until you reach them, or you are confident enough to do it alone.

Are you trapped in exhausting loops of negative thinking about your life and relationships? You think about getting help, but you keep putting it off. You are tired of the nonstop thoughts about the job you want to leave, wanting a romantic relationship, enjoying the relationships you have and feeling good in your own skin. What kind of life do you want to live? How much longer will you wait for the life you have dreamed of? Change is possible and it starts with therapy. Whether you are just realizing something is wrong or you are clear about what you want to change, now is the time to receive the support you've been craving.

Therapy can help you overcome challenges and heal different types of wounds, both old and new. I will incorporate different models and approaches to best fit your personal needs. We will work together to uncover your hidden strengths, to overcome your obstacles, and to find your unlimited potential. I will help you gain insight to your current and past relationships to help you change repeating patterns and behaviors. I am committed to establishing a safe environment to explore ways to shift and create change and take charge of your life. Healing the past will allow you to move forward.

Are you stuck or unable to get what you want out of your life? Do you feel disconnected or that you can't maintain good relationships? Are you tired of trying to make things better on your own? When you feel like you can't get where you want to be in life or are struggling with your mental health, it may be difficult to understand that your life can get better. However, you can move forward and become the person you want to be. You can change. In therapy, we will confront the issues holding you back. You will learn skills and coping techniques to apply to improve your everyday life.

I am an Associate MFT with a specialization in Art Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to support identifying personal values, strength and knowledge to live those values, and re-authoring “stories” they have developed about themselves. In sessions I am warm, casual, and conversational. Clients say they feel safe and open to talking about anything without judgment. I take notes during sessions to help guide identification of patterns and stories, which clients comment makes them feel truly cared about and understood by me. I work mostly with adolescents and adults individually, as well as with families and couples.

The parts of us that require healing are often sites of trauma, fear or shame; my therapeutic approach creates a safe space for exploring this often painful territory, with emphasis on providing you with tools and techniques to maintain that sense of safety in both other therapeutic settings and in day-to-day life. My clinical work, is based in expertise and a passion for empowering you to meet and overcome what is holding you back.

I utilize a client-centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions.
