Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

I am all about developing peace and joy in life, but that can seem beyond reach when you're going through difficult times. Current stressors could affect your sense of wellbeing. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or some other discomfort, there might be underlying issues and remote memories, triggering you. Your relationship or career could be affected and you might be ready to do something about it. If you need to move on from problematic childhood events or heal unprocessed trauma, psychotherapy can offer relief and a (much) better life quality.

Learning to manage and reduce symptoms may be the first step in enhancing your quality of life as day to day demands can lead to stress, anxiety, interpersonal and relational issues to maladaptive behaviors and more. As a wellness advocate, I understand both the challenges and opportunities of taking the first step to mitigate the effects of emotional distress. I take a holistic and objective approach grounded in mindfulness partnering closely with you to enhance therapeutic outcomes by tailoring interventions to your individual needs.

Rebecca Moreno, LCSW. Emotional disorders which acquire anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma disrupt lives. I specialize in offering supportive therapy to believers in search of an objective point of view and conceptualizing occurring problems or issues. I am comfortable working with a diverse population and a diversity of presenting problems. I commonly work with depression, anxiety, and women's issues.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Using customized eclectic approaches; mindfulness, music, solution focused, neuroscience, trauma-informed care, EMDR and group therapy, I help clients discover their innate, creative potential resulting in a more satisfied, productive and meaningful life. I encourage self-expression, communication, and problem solving. With young children, I utilize play and art therapy to help them express and understand their feelings thus reducing their internal/external conflicts. With teenagers I often teach mindfulness and coping skills. I'm dedicated to helping each client fulfill their potential and achieve peace, well being and happiness.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Hello! My name is Alina Mikolaitis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in the field of mental health and psychology since 2000. My approach in therapy is to focus on building organic relationships, process and resolve identified issues, and ultimately support you in reaching your goals to live a more positive and fulfilling life. I mainly work with adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, postpartum, addiction, an array of mental health issues, familial and relationship issues.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

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.

As a compassionate integrated therapist, I provide an empathic and direct approach to sessions in order to collaborate with my clients and empower them to successfully achieve their goals. By collaborating together, my clients can exit treatment with skills that help them move towards change. Clients may become skilled in managing their own lives and relationships. I am availlable to see clients in person in at my office in San Pedro. Looking forward to meeting you!

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, OCD, depression and anxiety. I strive to create safety with each person I work with so we can explore what is going on emotionally, physically, cognitively and spiritually. Trauma and stress live in the body and, in my experience, an integrated approach is most helpful, where we pay attention to feelings, physical sensations, thoughts, behaviors and images that arise during sessions. I also utilize mindfulness, and inner child healing. We will work together moving towards your goals, so that as you feel better, you will have more freedom to become the person you want to be.

Are you struggling with relationships, life transitions, and/or getting your life where you want it to be? Are you trying to solve all your problems internally but end up going in circles? Do you turn to friends and family yet feel misunderstood? There is incredible usefulness in talking through your beliefs, problems, and feelings with a psychotherapist who has experience and expertise to understand what you are going through and to help create space for change and growth. Beginning therapy is an empowered step for self and to achieve your goals.

Hello and Welcome! Thank you very much for visiting my page. I am Shiori Lange, a bilingual (Japanese/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#81730) based in Long Beach, CA. I specialize in helping older adults and their families with caregiver/dementia issues, stress management and overall end of life issues. I have a deep admiration for those who seek to heal and create a meaningful life. My name Shiori in Japanese means "Weave Aspirations and Goals" (it also means bookmark or a guidebook). Life gives us challenges sometimes, maybe more than we want. I hope that my contribution to your life will help you embrace life fully.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy, peaceful and progressive life. I have worked with many diverse populations, I recognize that your circumstances are unique and I can assure you that we'll approach this process in a way that is comfortable as well as incorporates your individuality and your strengths. I am color, race, religion, diagnosis, age and LGBTQ friendly. Whether you're struggling with mood symptoms, anxiety, self-esteem, work/life balance issues, family and "significant other" relationship issues, parenting concerns or something else entirely, we will work together to create realistic goals.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

As a psychotherapist I work from a compassionate and practical perspective. My work is holistic and includes a creative exploration of the client's life experience, building awareness and mindfulness, reconnecting to the cues the body gives, and reinforcing positive experiences. I help clients to identify undiscovered potential, create change, and work through a myriad of issues. These issues range from depression and anxiety to questions about where to go next in career and, "Why do I keep dating the wrong person?". Clients come to me to work through trauma, eating disorders, substance abuse, low self-esteem, loss of meaning, and relationship issues.
