Teletherapy for Los Angeles, CA

I believe in working collaboratively with clients and building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, honesty, and openness. I see my role as a curious, caring human being first and a clinician second. I encourage feedback and work diligently to tailor treatment to meet a client's needs, ranging from achieving short term specific goals, symptom reduction, and crisis management to long term growth work focusing on personal development, relationship patterns, and wellness maintenance.

We all tell ourselves a story about who we are, where we come from, and what we believe. Understanding our story unleashes the power to influence it in new and constructive ways. What’s your story? I use thought-provoking questions and empowering perspectives to gently guide my clients through the process of exploring and understanding how they tell their story. With over 22 years in the field of mental health and wellness, I apply a customized and collaborative approach, to help individuals and couples navigate transitions, resolve internal/external conflicts, and restore balance.

The desire for healing is a natural part of the human experience that is felt at all stages of life. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story with your unique goals and needs in mind. Through an integrative yet family systems-oriented approach to treatment, I am passionate about serving as a fellow traveler on your journey towards growth. My therapeutic background consists of assisting children, adults, couples, and families both in person and virtually. I offer teletherapy services to adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples while being located in a confidential and quiet environment.

Because I've been blessed with life-changing mentors in my life, I can pass the sum of their wisdom on to you, along with my own. Therapy is a healing process that happens through our shared connection and your expanding awareness. It requires a safe place, where truth is expressed and pain is transformed. Typically we meet suffering with distractions, intoxication or denial. When we find a way to experience emotional sobriety, our relationships with ourselves and others can heal. Loss, trauma, emotional intoxication and shame are common issues that breed secondary problems. We’ll approach them with skill, compassion and courage.

I work with all types of clients, but primarily "Type A" women who are familiar with the desire to control aspects in their lives. They long for deeper meaning in their careers. They want a true intimate partnership with a spouse/partner. They are tired of doing life alone. They are afraid time is running out and wonder if marriage and/or motherhood will be a possibility. They are seeking greater balance and peace within themselves, while at the same time, harnessing their innate power.

Life can be difficult, and we all find ourselves at times struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings. Past traumas or current stressors can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, or disconnected from ourselves and others. As a psychotherapist, I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore with curiosity their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and how they serve them and where they would like to bring in change.

I work with motivated adults and adolescents to help them cope with transitions in their lives where they feel stuck and in emotional pain. My clients usually want tools they can use themselves as well as a healing environment. I work collaboratively with clients to cultivate their strengths as well as support them in overcoming inner obstacles. They want a more positive relationship with themselves and others and to move forward in healthy ways behaviorally. They want better boundaries and joy in their lives.

As a therapist for 30 plus years I have experience working with individuals and couples with varied backgrounds, cultures and ages. Many years working with people in Recovery (12 step and alternatives friendly) . Hsp's (highly sensitive) , women and men in transition.. challenged by depression, anxiety and panic, people in creative fields corporate professionals, LGBT. My experience as a cancer survivor, adoptive parent, artist/writer, and meditator enhance my work. I work with mindfulness. stress management and CBT . Very experienced with loss, grief and pet bereavement. I have advanced training in Trauma Resiliency Model

I do this work because I genuinely love it. I am very honest and direct with clients and encourage openness from each of us. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down, get reacquainted with ourselves, and engage in vulnerability and playfulness that is too often not accessed. I offer a supportive, completely non-judgmental space where everything and anything is on the table (trust me, as therapists, we’ve heard it all). Trust and comfortability take time, and I respect clients’ pace and readiness to travel in difficult directions. I also promise to (compassionately) hold you accountable to promote growth and healing.

“Imperfection is not our personal problem – it is a natural part of existing.” (Tara Brach). I understand that life can be challenging and has its “faults” but it's simply how we choose to manage it. We might often beat ourselves up for lack of follow-through, discipline, or motivation. As Tara Brach stated, we are humans, and being imperfect is a natural part of life. We might fail to realize that being human means making mistakes. While working closely together, I intend to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself, and not worry about the “shoulds” in life.

Are you hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma, preventing you from expressing your authentic self? Do you find yourself trapped in navigating challenging family and relationship situations? Every minor issue now feels incredibly overwhelming, reopening past wounds and creating new ones. Despite attempting to bury the pain, it persists, leaving you feeling isolated and tormented. The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself. I aim to assist you in achieving a more integrated and balanced sense of self.

Whatever you are going through, it helps to have someone to talk to, who is only there for you. Lowering your symptoms, gaining skills, and insight, can bring you lifelong peace. Most people know what choices to make, the hard part is doing it. But if you can't see what benign rules you are living by, which is the rule-especially in family systems, then you can't heal. This is really the reason to talk to an insight oriented therapist. If you have watched Couples Therapy, that is exactly what therapy is utilized.

Hi there, I'm Tim Connely, LMFT. I work hard to create a safe and secure environment in order to support my clients in doing the work of understanding their thoughts and the effects they have on our life. I work with people across the lifespan encouraging them in any way I can. I have worked with clients across the lifespan. I have worked with people as young as 4 all the way to people in their 70's and 80's. I am most comfortable treating people that have experienced trauma, dealing with life events, depression, anxiety, and many more.

I practice general psychology and works with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, prenatal and postpartum issues, anger, parenting challenges, and couples issues. I also have a concentrated interest in the family of origin trauma.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and I attended Humboldt State and helped the campaign to expand Redwood National Park by 46,000 acres in 1976. I worked in the rehabilitation of injured workers on the North Coast, I graduated from St. Mary’s College of California, and I secured my therapist license in 2000, 21 years ago. I’ve been at the Calif State Department of Rehabilitation for the last 14 years helping the mentally disabled get an education and employment.

I combine a warm and direct approach with evidence-based practices (and a splash of humor) to help you unpack, examine, and rewrite the narratives in your life. Drawing from modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, we will work to align your thoughts and actions with your values so that you can lead the life you want. I view relationships and identity development through the lens of attachment theory with the goal of helping you draw clear connections from the past to the present and into an expansive and joyful future.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.

Life can be difficult, whether you’re working on trauma or wanting to work on goals to improve yourself in general. With a therapist, you won’t have to face it alone.
