Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I strive to help people uncover their strengths, while also learning how to adapt and adjust to difficult situations. I'm an interactive therapist who believes that the most effective therapy offers a balance of non-judgmental support with concrete tools and direction that will help you live a more fulfilling life. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and other psychological issues.

The techniques I have discovered and found useful on my own healing journey have become the foundation for my practice as a holistic psychotherapist. My passion lies in creating a sacred and compassionate space where individuals can embark on a transformative exploration of their inner worlds, healing past trauma or negative beliefs so that they can fully live in the present moment. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy, recognizing the uniqueness of each person's experience and honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

Are you struggling through a tough transition in your life? Do you feel alone, confused, or defeated? Maybe you have recently lost a loved one, or are grieving your own illness. Maybe you feel depressed or anxious because of a major life change or lack of change, feeling stuck in your situation. Whether you are family, couple or individual searching for a trusted person to listen and guide you, I am here to help you develop your inner strength and reach your full potential.

Keeping your head above water, let alone thriving while navigating work, relationships, parenting, infertility or postpartum journeys is HARD. We’re often set up for what feels like an impossible task, with a shocking lack of a village to hold the struggle with. There is an old Celtic saying, "It is in the shelter of each other that we live". I work with many parents and those on the journey to parenthood to help form their village and bring some more intentionality, ease, and joy on that journey. I'm enthusiastic about collaborating with you to explore practical coping strategies while also fostering a sense of self-compassion.

Are you finding the transition into motherhood challenging or overwhelming? Whether it be infertility, miscarriage, peri-natal/postpartum depression and anxiety, or simply the challenges of maintaining a sense of self as you care for your family, the most important thing you can do is seek support through this transitional time of your life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients through each stage of transition. Whether it be a new job, a child, a relationship, or the loss associated with life transitions, I provide a safe space to explore one's feelings and get unstuck.

Let's face it- Whatever you are going through and whatever is bringing you to seek a therapist, it is probably not fun. Whether it is a break up, a divorce, a job loss, a death of a loved one, you have come to the right place. Seeking therapy and gaining self awareness can be life changing. Whether it is a current life crisis or the desire to change old ugly repetitive patterns, my style is nurturing, directive and fun. I work with you as a team getting to the core of the problem, and to help you move forward, hopefully with a fresh and new perspective.

My practice is grounded in my firm belief of the transformative power of therapy. I feel that the role of a therapist is to help empower you to change. I work with clients towards self-understanding, growth, and finding their path to their authentic self.

Infertility is a journey that no one signed up for. For those who want children, it’s simply devastating to be unable to expand your family as planned, while others around you move forward with their lives. Yet 1 in 8 couples experience infertility and many others experience barriers—systemic, financial, and biological—to pursuing their family-building dreams. In my practice, I focus on issues related to fertility (delayed parenthood, egg-freezing, pregnancy loss, donor-conception, surrogacy, IVF, and other forms of family-building). I understand the intense stress these issues can place on your relationships and mental health.

Hello and welcome. I would love to help you feel more present and connected. I use attachment-based, trauma-informed approaches that address the root sources of distress.

Welcome! Therapy can be a profound journey of transformation. It is my goal to create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where my clients have the opportunity to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to gain the insight needed to make lasting changes. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing in the mental health field for over 15 years and have acquired formal training in a variety of settings, including community mental health centers, outpatient psychiatric clinics, Community-Based Adult Services programs and school settings.

I'm Cassandra, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I've worked with people struggling with relationship issues, women's issues, infertility, marital/pre-marital issues, spirituality, and more. My ideal client is someone who is struggling with knowing what to do next. They are likely overwhelmed but are also tired of inaction and are trying to find a way out of the mess. My top modalities are CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy. I also like to practice faith-based counseling but that is something that a client would have to request.

Many people are hurting in their day- to- day life. Sometimes the hurt is a personal one like depression, anxiety, poor self- esteem, grief and loss and other times it is a relational challenge within marriage, with children or teens and or with family or friends. Healing is possible though often times not easy to know where to start. I am here to help you take the first steps on your personal healing journey and guide you to navigate the process throughout. Don't let unspoken fears hold you back from getting help. You can thrive and not just survive but it all starts with the first step.

Do doubt, worry, fear, judgment and isolation plague your thoughts? Does it feel like family/friends do not understand your choices? Are you struggling to see a way through grief and loss? Does the burden of infertility feel hopeless? I believe we all have a story to tell and sometimes we need guidance to move between the chapters of life.

My desire is to help you live a full life, to listen openly and without bias and to understand you outside of your problems; to help you see that you have strengths and resources that will help you get through this difficult time or the challenges you face. My goal is to help you feel hopeful again. As a couple's therapist, (I also am a collaborative divorce therapist, mediator, coach, and parent coordinator) my goal is to help the couple heal or learn how to move forward in a positive manner. I am passionate about women's issues, including peri- and post-partum, loss, infertility, and grief and work with military and their families

My name is Sharon Halimi. I work with adolescents and adults to help each client become connected with their 'true self' while addressing core issues on deep levels. I work with clients within a psychodynamic framework, and focus on each client's unresolved or unprocessed issues and conflicts that he or she may not be consciously aware of. Focusing on the unconscious aspects of each client helps he or she develop increased understanding of their thoughts and feelings.

My goal is to collaborate with you to achieve your personal and professional potential. By making the decision to begin therapy, you may discover new options for creativity, career or relationships. I can help you recognize negative thought patterns, identify and value your strengths and transcend emotional barriers. Life transitions can be challenging -- yet also provide the opportunity for insight and change.
