Anxiety Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

For people who are looking to take the leap into therapy, but feel intimidated by the expectations of sharing their deepest fears with a stranger, I am the therapist for you. Taking a client-led approach to each session, I provide my clients the space to explore their feelings and experiences in a low-pressure, non-judgemental environment so they can come to their own conclusions about how to make change in their lives, then go out and do it with confidence.

There are times in all of our lives when we experience challenging emotional situations. Sometimes, when these situations arrive we can benefit from the support of a person outside of our inner circle of family and friends. Whether you are struggling with an acute crisis, change, or loss in your life, or even if you are just feeling mildly but persistently upset, it can take a toll on all aspects of your life. Everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. No problem is too minor, common, severe, or unusual to be explored and healed.

My name is Maythal Eshaghian and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at University California Los Angeles (UCLA). I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, and other related anxiety disorders including body-focused repetitive behaviors (Trichotillomania and Skin-Picking Disorder) in children, adolescents, and adults.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who places greatest value in establishing an empathic, warm, & respectful environment (while modeling firm, healthy boundaries) for clients & their families. Over the last 7 years I've treated adults, children, teens, couples, families, & groups in a private practice setting. My strength-based, collaborative approach drawing on numerous techniques (CBT, DBT, Fam Systems, etc.) helps clients get the most from therapy & allows tailoring our work to your needs. When beneficial and appropriate, I work to foster a "team approach," encouraging good communication w/other members of a client's daily life (i.e. other practitioners/physicians, family, teachers, etc.).

"When we close ourselves off, we're not just closing ourselves off to other people, we're closing ourselves off from ourselves and impeding ourselves. When we open up, you allow yourselves to be who you are" - Amy Cuddy. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for individuals on their journey of self-discovery and help facilitate change through restoring hope for children, young adults, and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, grief, and loss. I work on helping individuals access their inner world and assist them in self-awareness.

In my approach to therapy I view individuals as whole, complex entities. Together, we will develop a safe and non-judgmental place for self-exploration and reflection on personal values, beliefs and actions. We will work as a team to adjust behaviors and emotional responses that are no longer useful. We will create healthier and more thoughtful ways of living to support inner balance and promote personal grow.

Our emotional struggles can leave their residue in the mind, body, and spirit, yet they don't have to be a life sentence. I believe that every human being has the innate capacity for healing and wholeness and can transform even the most difficult life experiences, patterns, and beliefs, into sources of embodied wisdom and empowerment. ​ My approach is integrative, culturally-sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based modalities. I collaborate with you to create an individualized holistic treatment plan rooted in understanding how the human nervous system is wired.

Thank you for considering therapy with me. I am looking forward in meeting you. You will find me to be flexible and sensitive. I enjoy helping individuals in achieving personal growth; in a caring & safe environment. Whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief/loss, sexual dysfunction, we can work together to resolve your issue and minimize your suffering. Your natural state of being is a gift and is what I work with in psychotherapy to bring out your hidden potentials to surface.

With a strong foundation in mental health care, I am dedicated to assisting individuals and couples as they navigate life’s ups and downs, including struggles with anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. My approach to therapy is dynamic and personalized, weaving together cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques to nurture resilience and encourage healing. My goal has always been to create a relatable and supportive environment where my clients can feel understood and empowered to make positive changes.

You are many things to the people in your life. You are a spouse/partner, parent, child, friend, and working professional. Who are you to yourself? Are you your harshest critic? You don’t have to be. You don’t have to be anxious, worried, unhappy, sad, depressed, lonely, or overwhelmed. You can take time for yourself without guilt. You don’t have to suffer alone and you can grow into the person you were meant to be. Let’s get to the truth of who you are and what you want in a professional, safe, and supportive environment.

Most of us strive to feel at peace and confident in our daily lives, but painful past experiences and future anxieties can make this challenging. Our self-worth can be affected by these influences, and our love for ourselves can become conditional. By processing our past experiences and changing our relationship with our emotions, we can begin to form a more stable, loving connection with ourselves and the people around us. Feelings of peace and confidence can become less affected by external “successes” and “failures,” and we can courageously step out into the world as a healthier and happier version of ourselves.

Therapy can be a rich and powerful experience of growth and change. I work with individuals and couples, families, and teenagers to successfully reduce stress, anxiety and depression; strengthen friendships and relationships at work and at home; resolve grief, past traumas, and internal conflict; modify negative thinking and self-destructive behaviors; build self-esteem; enhance intimacy and sexual well-being; foster self-discovery; and help improve one’s overall quality of life experiences.

Life’s journey can be overwhelming, laden with worries, stress, and self-doubt. Navigating the complexities of life’s transitions may leave us feeling exhausted, confused, and disconnected. I am dedicated to supporting you during both times of change and times of stagnation. Together we will explore your emotions, embrace your strengths and values, cultivate healthier relationships and connections, and empower you to excel in life.

I believe successful therapy needs to begin with a trusting, compatible relationship between you and me. If we can establish this foundation for treatment then we can move forward to identify your strengths as a unique individual, and work to uncover and resolve the elements in your life that are preventing personal growth and a gratifying lifestyle. I provide an initial free phone consultation, and offer phone sessions. I work on a sliding scale, and am a provider for Medicare, Blue Shield, Magellan, and Humana. I am NOT a provider for Medi-Cal. I can also bill your insurance company excluding your co-pay.
