Therapists in Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA

If we have learned anything from the pandemic, it is that we all need and thrive in relationships. Therapy is an important tool for developing and nurturing positive relationships, both with others and with yourself. Using my training as a marriage and family therapist, my life experiences and love of people, I foster a safe, warm, non-judgmental environment. I believe that it is not the challenges or traumas that form us, but how we respond to them. Collaboratively we can build resiliency as we discover and heal the obstacles that interfere with you having a deeper, more meaningful life.

We all get scared sometimes - scared things will change, scared things won’t change, scared of who we truly are or who we might become. Life can really throw us for a loop. It takes real bravery to face the things that scare us. And only through that bravery can we actually accept ourselves for who we are, what we truly want and what part we’ve had in creating the thing that scares us. Once we can accept this, we can begin to create a life reflecting truth, authenticity and integrity.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Accredited Parenting Coach, and Founder of The Modern Parent. Through my deep healing work with families, I have learned how vital it is to fully understand yourself in order to show up in alignment with whom you want to be. The clients I work with are ready to better understand how their current and past stressors, relationships, and concerns are getting in the way of living life fully and enjoying it. We peel back the layers and story that we have been told about the "problem" or how we view the "problem" and shift this narrative to one that allows us to function in a way we deserve.

You can contact me at 323 875 9501 for a free phone/video consultation, to see if I would be a good fit.

I believe the pathways to healing are through our intimate relationships with each other. But because few of us have experienced what it feels like to reach toward the soft embrace of another, and also be held, loved, and received just as we are, how we see and what we tell ourselves in response to life's struggles can become distorted. We develop false senses of self and of others; we wrestle with depression, anxiety, and obsessional thinking. We fall prey to addictions, and we struggle in our relationships, finding ourselves in patterns that bring conflict and disconnection.

My specialty is in helping people heal their relationships. My clients have typically come to a crossroads in their relationship, such as experiencing infidelity or a betrayal, or are preparing for a significant life transition, like entering marriage or parenthood. Sometimes these experiences can bring up feelings of overwhelm, or a nagging feeling to tackle it all "perfectly". I'm here to tell you these are normal, human experiences that deserve the care and attention to process and experience. I'm here to support you on this healing journey to create the happy, healthy, fulfilling life you deserve.

The therapeutic relationship allows for awareness, healing, and growth.

Your mood’s been down and you’ve been feeling anxious all the time. The past and the future both feel daunting, but being in the present isn’t any easier. Maybe you’re drifting through life, dissociating, or fixating on food so you can feel a sense of control when everything feels hopelessly out of control. You feel stuck between oppressive social pressures, past experiences, and who you really are. Let’s get you back to you.

I work with individuals and adolescents as well as couples, providing a safe space for an exploration of inner distress. Through an eclectic mix of theories, I have watched my clients move from depression, anxiety, addiction and other difficult patterns toward a newfound sense of peace and harmony. This doesn’t come without its own brand of sacrifice, it takes a lot of self-honesty, self-acceptance and courage.

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. Therapy tends to work best when there is a strong relationship between you and your therapist. My goal is to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, cared for, and understood. Processing your experiences in therapy helps to deepen self-awareness, and can positively impact your mood, functioning, and interpersonal relationships. The therapeutic process can be both challenging and rewarding, so the ideal client is one who is up to the challenge.

Hi there, I'm Daniel (Dan)! I have experience working with many different populations. From the most impoverished to the most successful. One common theme among people is how our emotions can affect our behavior in unpredictable ways. Most people already know the answers to their problems. By talking about themselves in a safe environment, and with appropriate feedback and questions, they start to solve their own problems.

Whether you are 5, 18, 35 or 85, there are sometimes obstacles that get in the way to living our lives to the fullest.

I have over twenty years of clinical experience working with individuals and families who are dealing with a variety of mental health issues including, depression, anxiety, trauma, Mood Disorders, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, sexual abuse and substance abuse.

Craving a reconnection to life, nature & your authentic self? Cultural pressure, learned defenses, grief & attachment styles serve as guides to a deep story about your origins, unique needs & true desires. Rather than condemn symptoms & pain, let's get curious and engage creative exploration to mourn loss & build a meaningful relationship with your goals & your identity to take ownership of personal narratives. Together, we will unearth ingrained beliefs that do not serve your true purpose & desire to grow, discover tools to thrive, & reignite your authentic self expression, hopefulness, connection with others, & your life force.

Welcome. I foster a safe space to explore areas of self-identity, self-esteem and other existential matters. With an empathetic and caring approach, I support clients experiencing grief, anxiety or depression. I also work with clients looking to heal trauma wounds, kick an addiction, navigate difficult relationships and codependency, or overcome challenging life events. I enjoy working with first-time dads, providing a space for dads to navigate this significant life transition. What's bringing you, or as a couple, to therapy is unique as is the journey we'll take to reach your therapeutic goals.

We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating intrusive thoughts, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.
