Teletherapy for West Hollywood, CA

Hello, my name is Steven (Ivan) Cospewicz; I'm an LCSW licensed in California, Nevada, and New York. I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and a foundation in Motivational Interviewing, as well as Socratic Questioning. I focus diagnostically on mild to moderate anxiety and depression, as well as have experience in the more traditionally persistent diagnoses.

As a psychologist, writer, and trauma survivor, it's my passion and privilege to help others overcome life-changing tragedies. I'm dedicated to helping people make sense of the painful experiences that have shaped their lives. Over decades of education and personal exploration, I've had the good fortune to put together some of the essential pieces in life's puzzle. My new book, "Daddy" —which the The San Francisco Chronicle calls "“a thoughtful and expansive biography of PTSD” and “a compelling narrative of familial history"— draws from these experiences to explore violence, identity, and personal and collective trauma in America.

I value helping to foster a secure space and use an integrative approach to help clients feel empowered to reach their personal goals. Intersectionality has been paramount on my own personal healing journey and I have had the opportunity to work with clients who benefit from the same lens.

Do you often feel anxious and worried? Or maybe you experience restlessness, and have a hard time settling down? Perhaps you find that your anxiety causes you to struggle with setting boundaries or forming meaningful connections with others? I feel you. I really, really do. That’s why I’m here to help. Therapy with me is more than just ‘therapy’ – it’s a lighthearted but intelligent way to transform those feelings of anxiety, restlessness, and worry into something meaningful. Together, we’ll blend intelligent and deep conversation with guided, deepening meditations, and intuitive body-mind connection exercises.

Korbi Ghosh Biggins is a licensed clinical psychotherapist who specializes in helping people dealing with depression, anxiety, pregnancy/postpartum/early parenting, substance abuse, self esteem and relationship issues. She provides clients with hope, and a safe environment to discuss the areas of their life which they are ready to work on and change. Korbi recognizes the significant influence that every person's past has on their present and the therapeutic benefits in exploring this, but she is also committed to assisting her clients in finding concrete and practical solutions to their current struggles and challenges.

The longest relationship you’ve ever had is the one you have with yourself. Understanding who you are to your core is life’s greatest adventure. Identity and expression of that identity is what makes you, YOU.
 Many people have never had the chance to dissect their desires and learn about their authentic selves. You may not be happy with the way you feel about your body, your gender or identity expression, or maybe you feel inexperienced and nervous about the topic of sexuality; There is room for all of these feelings to be explored. Sexuality is a spectrum, and all of the colors of the wheel are welcome and deserve therapy.

I work with individuals and couples who present with a diverse collection of strengths, challenges, and goals in life. I provide a space, whether in person or telehealth, that allows for people to feel accepted for who they are without judgement or shame. I work along side each individual or couple to define goals of treatment so we know when to celebrate or to redefine our objectives. I like to explore values, emotions and thoughts to identify opportunity for positive change. In addition to these qualities of my practice, my perspectives are grounded in feminist principles, Buddhist philosophy, and attachment theory.

Struggling with unresolved trauma, persistent anxiety, or depression? Coping through substance use or feeling overwhelmed by your emotions? Your journey matters, and I'm here to guide you. With over a decade of experience in trauma and addiction therapy, I offer a compassionate, integrative, and holistic approach to healing. My personal battles with trauma, addiction, and life's challenges have deepened my empathy and expertise.

When you work with me, you are welcomed into a safe space where you can explore your inner world, experience growth, feel comforted, supported, and challenged. I believe that YOU are in possession of the answers to your questions.

I grew up in a small steel mill town in Ohio. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in the nascent field of Psycholinguistics. Upon graduation I moved to West Hollywood and became an activist in its inception as the “first gay city in the US”. I’m proud to have been a catalyst for inclusion in a business operation that had been a bastion for exclusivity where I opened doors without regard to race, sexuality, gender identity, or abledness. My Practice reflects that inclusivity. I see primarily Adult Individuals; as well as young adults & teens; ranging in age from 14yo thru + +; and Couples .

I enjoy working with clients who are looking to explore new ways to understand themselves, their relationships, and the reasons for their distress. I think that most of our depression, anxiety, or trauma responses come from a place of protectiveness and if we can learn to have empathy for ourselves in these reactions, we can learn to choose when to double-down and when to let go.

Now accepting new clients including couples and individuals. Most of us are not born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand and manage our emotions or process our traumas. Many things throughout our life influence us and how we react and behave in different situations, however that doesn’t mean we can’t grow and develop as individuals. My goal is to help clients become confident in who they are through discovering their own self-worth and practicing self-compassion. We can work together to create a space where you can find the tools and support you are looking for during this period of your life.
