I have had over 25 years of experience helping people deal with anxiety, depression and traumatic experiences. Creating a safe, trusting relationship is the basis of productive therapy and healing. I am an empathetic listener who uses a variety of approaches to help people reach their goals.

Many of you will experience dramatic and sometimes shocking changes in your or your loved one's health, relationships or careers. I have over 25 years of experience helping people and their families cope with a wide variety of chronic and terminal illness, relationship changes, adjustment, grief and loss. Using your strengths, I will help you work through these difficult changes to help you adjust to their impact on you and your loved ones.

In everyone's life, some heartache will happen. Some days, the things we do to cope with stress no longer work as well as they once did; other days, it may feel like everything is falling apart. No matter what your struggle is, we will work together to understand the source of your problems and develop practical strategies to reach your goals. In your first session, we will begin to answer the question, "What would help look like right now?" and help you cultivate and develop tools you may not even know you had within your reach.

Perhaps you or a loved one struggles with anxiety, mood changes, adjusting to a new situation, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, chronic pain, stroke/brain injury, medical problems (including end-of-life), or cognitive impairment & dementia. Maybe you want to understand yourself better or chart a new path forward. If any of this sounds familiar, I’m glad you’re here. I am experienced in assessing and treating a variety of clinical presentations and have completed a 2-year fellowship in outpatient/inpatient rehabilitation neuropsychology. I am passionate about working with those coping with changes in cognition, behavior, and mobility.

I believe deeply in the transformative potential and enduring nature of psychotherapy. When we're feeling stuck, confused or alone, therapy can help us to untangle our emotions, clarify our struggles, and better understand ourselves and others - ultimately forming inroads to real and lasting change. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist: I establish a safe, non-judgmental space where our mutual exploration of your relationships, family history, career, sexuality, or whatever is troubling you currently - as well as aspects of our therapeutic relationship - will open pathways to new awareness and opportunities for welcome change, growth and healing.

Are you a victim of gaslighting and narcissistic abuse? Are you struggling with a relationship problem? Are you tired of going in circles around an issue? Do you feel stuck and not sure what to do? I provide you with the knowledge and understanding of how relationships work and how problems can be resolved in even the most challenging situations. I provide psychotherapy services for adults, children & adolescents, and families.

In your psychotherapy with me, I will aim to help you feel understood as we explore the life difficulties you have faced, and currently face. I emphasize empathy in my work, and provide a safe environment in which to help you process your painful experiences and understand how they may be influencing your current struggles. Unprocessed emotional pain is commonly at the core of the symptoms we experience; yet it is often dismissed or suppressed. We will process your feelings and experiences to help make sense out of them and reduce your symptoms.

I work to provide a supportive and client-centered space for individuals to share their experiences. Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult experience and it is important to me that my clients feel comfortable and safe. I am genuinely passionate about building a healthy, nurturing, and interactive relationship with clients, which will help foster growth and change. I earned my BA from the UCLA and my Masters in Social Work from USC. I am currently providing psychotherapy both in-person and via telehealth.

Are you stuck in the same old arguments? Struggling with communication, boundaries, thoughts of leaving, or infidelity? Or maybe intimacy feels awkward or stale? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors or relationships and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes we get stuck, and change can feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand root causes of your difficulties, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to help change your life. If you have the sense you're not reaching your potential for health, happiness, or success, it may be time to move toward a change.

I strongly believe the power to change is inside each one of us. We have the power to change ourselves, which in turn can help shape our environments, and help us feel better. Change may not come easily, but with some hard work and help, we are able to achieve our fullest potential.

Are you tired of struggling? Are you seeking someone to help you navigate life's challenges and reauthor your own story? I'm Kelly, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with a passion for helping people access their full potential. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults and LGBTQ individuals, helping them discover new perspectives and foster positive change. I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining narrative therapy, EMDR, creative arts therapy, DBT, person centered, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy to help you meet your individual goals.

Hi! My name is Britta and I am an AMFT based in Los Angeles, California. I have been working with adult individuals, couples, and families since 2020, and I aim to support radical healing and integration. My background includes working as a clinician in community mental health settings as well as in private practice settings, offering individual, family, and group therapy. My unique approach to therapy is rooted in both psychodynamic and somatic modalities, weaving various styles together to enable clients to fully identify and move through unresolved trauma in order to experience authentic healing and sustainable change.

Telehealth Available: Compassionate Practice with an Open Mind is my motto. Everyone has the power to alter upsetting or confusing feelings, thoughts and behaviors through personal exploration and insight. My aim is to address the specific issues that have led you to therapy at this time of your life. I use therapeutic approaches that are compatible with your unique personality, problems and learning style. Clients describe my approach as caring and compassionate but at the same time straight forward. I am committed to accompanying you on your personal journey towards better mental health.

We all have the capacity for healing through self-discovery, self-awareness, and community building. I guide clients on a journey to authenticity in creative works and expression, fostering relationships with their "parts" and others, and exploring compassion and empathy for parts that are out of alignment with "self energy." With a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, I create a safe, collaborative space to explore the inner self. As a warm, intuitive therapist, I'm here to witness your transformative journey.

As a therapist, I see myself guiding people on their life path by overcoming such obstacles as depression, anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, and helping them to experience instead the beauty and warmth of their inner rainbow, of claiming joy as their birthright. I love working especially with women at a major transition in their lives: whether from young adulthood to womanhood, from motherhood to 'empty nest' and, ultimately, menopause; women in quest for healthy relationships and a greater meaning in their lives. Spiritual growth, creativity, finding one's purpose - are important issues for everybody to be able to live life to its fullest. I weave my work with a variety of therapeutic approaches including Holistic Healing, Dreamwork and Art Therapy. I'll be happy to discuss any needs you might have to see which modality - group or/and individual therapy - would be the best for you.

Are you creative, a perfectionist, or do you work in a high-stress position? On paper, things look good.  But on the inside, it’s a different story. Many high-achievers and creatives can get lost in survival mode, straying far from our basic requirements and deep desires.  This can be caused by many things including unconscious unmet needs, cultural norms, or old wounds.  Fortunately, there is a safe and gentle way out.  I help people reconnect their minds, bodies, and emotions. Over time, my clients become skilled at trusting others, being proactive, and aligning with an authentic version of themselves.

I provide neuropsychological evaluations (testing) to adults with cognitive concerns, such as difficulty with memory, attention, multitasking, "slowing down," or changes in language or personality. I investigate neurological and/or psychiatric factors that may contribute to someone's condition. These evaluations allow for more precise diagnoses and prognoses (what to expect in the future). I provide services in English or Persian (Farsi), and I am well-experienced in working with professional translators for assessment in other languages (for example, Spanish or Cantonese).

As a therapist, I will act as your guide as you work to develop healthy relationships, create meaningful work, explore your relationship with society, and evolve on your spiritual path. Together, we will choose from a variety of therapeutic approaches (including imagery, dreamwork, and regression) to journey through your past life and future visions. The adventure of coming to know your authentic self will allow you to create the meaningful changes in your life that you are seeking.
