Relationship Issues Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Relationships are essential to a rich and meaningful life. Often these connections are filled with many confusing and conflicting emotions. In the quiet of my office you can begin to understand the impact these relationships have upon your view of yourself and others. Thoroughly we will understand how your mind interprets and reacts to events and people. Knowledge brings awareness, and awareness creates opportunity for positive change. I have a calm gentle approach that gives you the space you need to explore your full range of emotional experiences.

Navigating challenges around sex involves more than what happens between the sheets. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame and is shaped by cultural norms and societal expectations. These influences can impact our perception of what's deemed acceptable or “normal”. When issues arise, the fear of judgment often keeps us silent, trapped in a state of quiet desperation rather than seeking help. I am committed to creating a secure and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their sexuality, reshape it according to their desires, and affirm their true selves.

I have been in practice for over 30 years, helping clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Life often challenges our ability to maintain equilibrium. Whether it's in work or love, choices are often linked to experiences or emotions that have not yet come to light. As we reflect on experiences, anxiety is lowered or becomes easier to bear. This leads to a greater ability to meet life goals--when we tolerate anxiety well enough to sort out true needs from a desire to escape a bad feeling, we tend to move toward those goals.

My ideal client would be someone who is open, willing and ready to begin work on healing and is dedicated to the process of change. This includes any individual, couple or family who has relationship, familial or faith issues. peoples of all ethnicity, cultural/sub-culture backgrounds, of diverse socioeconomic status, of any faith or agnostic/atheist, any sexual orientation or political affiliation. I work with many individuals from the music, acting, modeling and the entertainment industry as well as young professionals, people in the medical, STEM (science, technology and engineering and mathematics) and health fields.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

Change is hard, especially when we feel stuck in old patterns, challenging relationships or unsatisfying careers . It can feel like a really lonely place to be. But you don't have to experience this alone. Therapy can help you make the changes you've been struggling to make on your own. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the past and present, to understand the patterns that may be making you feel stuck on a loop. We will work to gain awareness and insight into barriers that may be standing in your way and preventing you from achieving your goals, while also identifying your strengths and how to use them.

I love those moments when a client has an “Aha Moment,” saying with raised awareness, “I’ve never thought about it that way before.” Perhaps this moment is in regard to helping heal an emotional wound or recognizing how to overcome a seemingly insurmountable barrier standing in the way of one’s goals. Sometimes clarifying what those goals are, discovering a path toward achieving them, then taking small/realistic steps to do so is what the therapeutic work is about. Healing emotional wounds and uncovering or remembering your strengths will help you clarify and possibly even reach your goals.

Hello, I'm Arthur Binder and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 34 years of experience. I like working with adults of all ages and backgrounds who seek to tackle their problems head-on, who have some curiosity about themselves, and who respond to the idea that problems themselves do not need to be a source of self-blame, shame, or guilt and who want to work in this effort to overcome them. I specialize in areas including anxiety, depression, grief, aging, family conflict, and relationship issues, amongst others.

Most people seek a therapist when they feel stuck in some way. My goal is to help you find the tools and resources to get answers. Hopefully, with answers, come solutions. This can help a person feel motivated and empowered to move forward in their life. I try to provide a space that allows for improved happiness, self esteem, and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

You might be grappling with a crisis, feeling inexplicably stuck, or simply seeking a new perspective. Perhaps you are finding yourself caught in the same conflicts, engaging in the same harmful habits, or at a loss for connection. Whatever brings you here, I assure you will be met with curiosity, warmth, and genuine care. I offer a safe and contained space for you to freely and fully explore your inner world. My aim is to be more than a listening ear - it is to guide you in uncovering meaningful insights in service of lasting, life-enhancing change. Ultimately, I hope our work will help you find a sense of clarity and momentum.

Do you struggle with anxiety and depression due to your childhood trauma? Are you having problems with your partner or family members due to life transition issues? Are you experiencing increased stress, fears, and doubts around the future? I believe that we all have the capacity to heal our emotional wounds and create meaningful changes. My goal as a therapist is to offer you a safe place in which you can process insights, concerns, and emotions associated with trauma.

Are you experiencing challenges in dealing with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences? Do you struggle with effective communication and setting boundaries in your relationships with others? Life often presents obstacles and difficulties that might lead to these difficulties without proper tools, resources, and guidance. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and Trauma-informed care to help you manage symptoms and promote healing and growth. With a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of each client and their lived experiences, I foster a collaborative and inclusive therapeutic environment.

My approach focuses on helping individuals achieve not only relief from distress, but to develop more flexibility and clarity of thoughts and feelings. This awareness opens up a greater capacity for joy, self-compassion, and groundedness. I seek to create a safe atmosphere while encouraging open exploration. This process fosters lasting growth and internal change that can free you to live a more rewarding life with deeper connection and meaning. I work at Silver Lake Psychotherapy, a private practice setting near Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater, and Downtown LA.

Clients seeking to change need to have a new EXPERIENCE in session; talking is not the same thing as changing. We will use a range of strategies to create a new experience of yourself. I am an EMDR certified therapist and using EMDR, can address long-term difficulties such as relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem. EMDR is also used with great results for individuals who have had a recent distressing incident such as a car accident, break in, assault, etc. I use a variety of out-of-the-box strategies to create new possibilities in how you experience yourself and others.

It helps to have a safe place to process feelings, work on relationships, and better understand patterns of behavior when feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Together through exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences we can work through obstacles and develop new coping skills that allow you to move forward in a healthy happy manner.
