We're Plus by APN - a team of psychiatry, therapy, and medical providers who have come together to provide real, comprehensive, interventional care for your mental health and well-being. Traditional psychiatry involves diagnosis and medication management. And we certainly do those. But at Plus by APN, we also provide in-depth psychiatric assessments to help you determine the best comprehensive treatment plan for your needs - whether that be therapy, medication, Deep TMS, ketamine-assisted healing, brain mapping, neurofeedback, stellate ganglion block (SGB) or some combination of the above.
Being a new parent comes with many challenges and often not enough support. This group will help you feel less isolated and help you cope as a new mom. The group is virtual and serves mothers of children under age 3 in the greater LA area. Pay what you can to attend.
In my Atwater Village practice, I provide therapy for parenting couples and queer couples. My approach is warm and optimistic because I believe that therapy can guide you in finding peace and joy in your family and personal life. Drawing on training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, expertise in attachment theory and experience with parenting education, I am able to help you heal and connect with each other.
Mama Time is a support group that focuses on postpartum and perinatal mental health. Group members are either pregnant or have had a baby within the past 2.5 years. The group combines education as well as support and intervention in a safe and open environment. Babies are welcome.
Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.
I offer mommy, daddy & me parenting groups from ages 0-2 years old. I am happy to lead groups of 3 or more families and am willing to travel. Groups consist of songs, discussion topics that are developmentally relevant, Q&A, and age appropriate activities. Please inquire for more information.

Group meets in Tarzana, CA 91356
Welcome! I’m glad you stopped by. My name is Shabby Casey and I’m here to provide support wherever you are in your life. You have the inner wisdom to find the path that best serves you. Sometimes you just need someone to ask the right questions to help you connect to your own intuition. My style is very laid back and warm, engaging and supportive. I offer you fresh eyes and a new perspective to help you see your blind spots and move forward from whatever is holding you back. I also support plant medicine as an alternative healing tool.
This virtual weekly group is for new moms who can benefit from a supportive space that will help them connect with other women who are trying to "find themselves again." This group will help new moms feel less isolated, relate with other women, and provide support to others experiencing similar life changes.
I help adults make sense of their experiences in a meaningful way. People come to me who are inquisitive and trying their best, yet still feel detached and longing for a better understanding of their lives. Oftentimes they’ve been in the driver’s seat going 100 miles an hour for years and can’t quite figure out how to slow down. Together, we work to slow fast-paced life, be present, and ultimately, see the once-blurry scenes in a clearer way. Just as each road trip is unique, so too is our tailor-made therapy. If you’re open-minded, motivated, and filled with curiosity, let’s see if we’re a good match!
Rewriting the stories you have aligned with that are negatively affecting your views of yourself, others, and the world in which you live.

Group meets in Bakersfield, CA 93301
My belief as a therapist and as a person is that all people, no matter where they are in life, are equipped with the innate ability to experience mental health. I do not see people as “broken”, rather, at some point in life, all people will find themselves “stuck” for one reason or another. My focus is to create a safe environment to educate and support clients while assisting them in meeting and exceeding their stated life goals.

The techniques I have discovered and found useful on my own healing journey have become the foundation for my practice as a holistic psychotherapist. I aim to create 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.
