Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Currently accepting new clients! I am a non-judgmental, empathetic, client-centered therapist who works with individuals of all ages, couples and families. My hope is to create a space for you to feel truly safe and supported while having your multilayered experiences honored, validated, and understood. My approach to therapy is multi-disciplinary, combining psychodynamic techniques, attachment-based, and trauma-informed therapy. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) & Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT).

Feelings, feelings, feelings. They can be complex painful, rewarding, and sometimes, confusing. Sometimes those feelings and emotions consume us, other times we avoid them either way; they affect us. In this space, I hope to help guide your understanding of what you are experiencing. To acknowledge triggers, and normalize some of your behaviors without excusing them. In all, my goal as a therapist is to create an environment where you feel listened too and important .

Hi I am Katie ! Throughout my life I've been driven by a fierce commitment to fostering positive transformations in diverse communities, advocating tirelessly for equal access to mental health resources and support. Guided by an unwavering desire to empower individuals to cultivate emotional resilience amid life's challenges, I've dedicated myself to creating safe havens where people can authentically explore their experiences.

So much of what we experience in our early life impacts who we are as adults. Whatever barrier or struggle you may be experiencing; I am here to go through this therapeutic journey of self-understanding in order to build on the strengths you inherently have and to achieve a life of resiliency and fulfillment. A motto I live by is “Hold the vision and trust the process.” It can be a hard decision knowing that you need support and seeking it out. For that I am grateful that you have taken this step in getting the support you deserve.

If you are living with depression, anxiety, or trauma, working together with a therapist provides an opportunity to process adverse experiences and combat negative feelings. My therapeutic approach consists of creating a safe space that nurtures your strengths and builds resiliency. Along with a compassionate and a holistic approach, I utilize evidence based modalities such as Trauma Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My objective is to guide you in challenging your limiting beliefs and developing empowering habits that provide stability, improved communication, and self-expression.

I help my clients find meaning behind their preferred narrative. Whether youre experiencing a life transition, find it challenging in setting boundaries, attachment wounds, or navigating your cultural/racial identity you may be thinking, "Do I even belong here? Am I not good enough?”. These experiences may bring up anxiety, depressive thoughts, or even traumatic stress. Digging deep into the origins of these experiences may uncover wounds from intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, intersectional identities or environmental triggers. I hope to provide you a safe and trusting space to be able to feel heard, seen, and validated.

Are you ready to break the painful cycles that keep you depressed, anxious, hopeless, addicted? Would you like to learn how to be alone and not feel lonely? Are you ready to leave the old story behind and realize your true potential - live the full embodied life you deserve? It takes great courage to break with ones' past story and stand alone, to learn to be reunited with yourself. Trauma lives in the body as wound. Through a client-centered, trauma focused somatic approach, as you become willing, we will take that journey together and tend those wounds that are the place where light can enter.

As a queer Black Arab immigrant, I recognize the importance of how social identities can have a great impact on someone's mental health. Even navigating the mental health system can be exhausting and at times disappointing. In my practice, I aim to provide a safe space for people who often struggle to find one due to systemic and social injustices. I assist people in the healing of their trauma and processing difficult experiences as they navigate living in a society that is in itself in need of healing. I am passionate about my work and love being present with my clients through their journey of healing and self-discovery.

Seeking help can be scary and exciting, and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to take the initial step. You may be feeling like you are depressed and anxious due to your trauma. I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

Adjusting to a life transition and new stressors bring new emotional barriers and challenges to the forefront. Those feelings often come from a place of fear, trauma, and overwhelming change. Learning how to understand yourself, emotionally regulate, increase confidence, and give yourself the agency you need to thrive will help you reach your goals. Therapy is for everyone, whether it is preventative, or dealing with a current road bump. On your journey of learning about yourself, healing, going deeper, and moving forward, we can work together to meet your goals.

Welcome. I am a passionate therapist with a sense of humor. I believe that even the saddest days warrant a laugh or a laugh with a few tears.

Whether you desire change...clarity...or growth? You have made the first step toward change just by searching for a therapist. If you are ready to begin the work, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.
