Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Whether we're struggling with crushing anxiety, disordered eating, self-destructive patterns, or are looking to get into (or out of) a relationship, this work is about liberation from the noise in our heads by transforming our relationship to it. Through a therapeutic lens, I work with clients to alchemize original wounds into assets, challenge cognitive distortions, identify core confusions and intervene unconscious, fear-based belief systems. No mind hacks, no mantras, just compassionate straight-talk that will demand your grit, your courage, and most likely a sense of humor.

So happy YOU are taking the first step to improving your life! Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Having relationship issues? Are you unhappy and unsure why? Ready to break unhealthy cycles? Or do you just need a safe place to process your thoughts and emotions? I work with individuals and couples experiencing stress, anxiety, postpartum, trauma, depression, family or relationship conflict, anger, communication, self-esteem issues, and cultural systemic oppression. I also provide Parenting Therapy to moms, dads, couples, and expecting parents.

In my practice at Onetara Counseling, I unite cultural empathy with clinical expertise to support individuals grappling with identity stress, cultural transitions, and trauma. I help clients reconcile their multicultural narratives, enabling them to thrive authentically. Join me in crafting a path to wellness that honors your unique life story.

Anxiety, depressive feelings, afraid of where the future may lead, or trying to figure out how to get over initial humps are common, but may also feel emotionally and physically draining. Therapy should be thoughtful, supportive, and provide a sense of safety for you to be yourself. This is the environment I look to create so that you can gain a deeper sense of self, and explore old thinking patterns and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. I can offer a fresh perspective to help you re-frame those negative thoughts in a more productive direction.

As a Certified Hypnotherapist, NLP Coach and Time Line Therapy Practitioner, I believe that everyone has the answers they are seeking inside of themselves. I gently guide my clients in their self-discovery journey to create permanent, positive shifts in thinking at the subconscious level. I uniquely offer a 4-hour Power Breakthrough Session, employing a combination of proven Hypnotherapy and NLP Coaching techniques that enable you to surface and release years of emotional pain in a secure and relaxing environment. I invite you to reach out to set up a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to discuss your specific needs.

As a Ph.D. clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I have worked with children, teens, and adults to help them overcome an array of clinical issues. While I specialize in identifying and managing psychological disorders, and performing evaluation and treatment programs, I help my clients manage issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and general relationship conflicts. In addition, with experience in private and public practice assessing clients from all areas of Los Angeles, my cross-cultural perspective allows me to build a trusting relationship with persons of diverse backgrounds and circumstances.

Hello and welcome! I look forward to meeting you and helping you gain insight into unhealthy relationship patterns, negative self talk and how that effects your mood and behavior, and tolerance for all of life's challenges. I have experience working with clients who are having difficulties with interpersonal relationships, families dealing with unhealthy boundaries, and individuals and couples seeking to deepen their relationships and strengthen communication skills. By no means is this an all inclusive list, so please do contact me so we can discuss what your needs are and how I can help.

How we live every moment of our personal and/or professional lives is a matter of CHOICE. Feeling shameful, fearful, anxious, unworthy, low in mood, bitter, snappy, moody, lonely; or working towards feeling and being lively, caring, friendly, free, assertive, productive and joyous. The work is hard, but easier than being stuck in misery. Artificial constraints weighs us down, dragging us into the dark places of hopelessness, helplessness, powerlessness, victimhood, and many other negative feelings and behaviors (anger, depression, meanness, worthlessness, isolation...) blocking our way to sense of wellbeing and JOY.

Life is a delicate balancing act – sometimes we need a little guidance and support to maintain it! I completely recognize that each person is unique and I ensure that every individual is empowered and feels comfortable and safe.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

Are you struggling with obsessive food thoughts, unbreakable food behaviors or body hate? Has an eating disorder or food struggle stolen your brain space, relationships, confidence and ability to function? I know how this feels. You are left physically exhausted, stuck in your self-loathing thoughts and defeated. I spent the last 10+ years specializing in working with eating disorders and supporting/educating family members because I believe no one should have to feel this way. Whether this is your first stop or you've been in treatment, I am glad you are here. One thing I know for sure, we are not meant to do this alone.

As wonderful as life can be, reaching your goals, coping with everyday issues, handling relationships, finding purpose, and staying inspired can be challenging. At times, embracing who you are and what you believe can be difficult. Even with your best efforts life can be stressful, and things don’t always go as planned. Connecting body and mind; using creative expression to destress, heal, dig deeper, and express what you are going though when words aren't enough, may be what you need to help guide you through challenges, make healthy decisions, feel better, and enjoy life. Would you like to understand the healing of your story?

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.

The individuals who I work with in private practice are often feeling stuck, or unsure of their next steps. They may be in need of healthy coping skills, and have difficulty regulating emotions. They may have trouble maintaining abstinence from alcohol and drugs, or other addictive behaviors. They also may simply need support around their activities of daily living. I have found that as human beings, we long to feel empowered to reach our full potential. My goal is always to help folks connect to their highest self in order to grow.

I believe childhood experiences create the template for adult life. Early losses, separations and trauma define the choices of strategies or defenses we use as adults. Pain and suffering can be caused by these early experiences. It is my job as a therapist to join my clients in their journey of discovery of these templates and help them to gain a more fulfilled life. I provide individual, couples and family counseling services in both English and Spanish in a safe, comfortable environment. My approach is tailored to each client, to meet them on their journey of discovery to finding a more fulfilled life.
