Therapists in Monrovia, CA

I work best with anyone who is struggling to understand what the world is all about, why are we(me as a human/person) here on the earth, what is our/my purpose, how can I be happy and fulfilled, what are people all about, etc. The most difficult thing we will all be faced with is how do we deal/cope with people!

My name is Ans Martinez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, California. I have been providing outpatient mental health treatment to adolescents and young adults for many years. My expertise includes anxiety, ADHD, adjustment, depression, parenting, substance use and addiction, trauma, and other behavioral and developmental challenges impacting adolescents and young adults. I also have extensive experience working and providing LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy and trauma-informed care to other underrepresented communities.

In my therapeutic practice, I integrate the depths of existential and humanistic therapies with a keen focus on the intricacies of racial issues, identity exploration, and the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My approach is underpinned by a commitment to understanding and nurturing the complex web of human connections, guided by attachment-based theory. This perspective enables me to support clients in exploring and healing relational patterns that have been shaped by early attachments and life experiences, fostering healthier and more fulfilling interpersonal relationships.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming.

You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

Hi, my name is David Bonfanti, LMFT. I enjoy couples therapy and working with older populations, and those who need to manage chronic medical conditions. I prefer to work with adults aged 30 and above. I employ techniques from CBT, Strength based, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic modalities. I've found that being a better listener is more effective than having something to say. I certainly do have things to say, but it really helps to hear a client's perspective of the problem(s) they are experiencing or have suffered with. I invite and guide others to decide the best course of action for their lives

Intimate relationships could be difficult to maintain and understand. Sometimes we are left confused and hurt by the behaviors and words of others. Our responses to these unfortunate behaviors might create a negative reaction which could worsen the feelings of despair. Having a personal psychotherapist with whom to explore some of these problems could be very rewarding and healing. Finding assertive ways to express our emotions using a win/win approach might assist in the healing of those injuries. Anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict could be minimized or eliminated with the appropriate interventions.
