Hello! I am licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist and have been providing clinical support services for over ten years. I have worked with at-risk populations for most of my career, including those involved in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. I also have years of experience in social work and currently manage and oversee the operations of a non-profit program that provides clinical case management services.

Have you or your child ever talked about feeling "different" or "out of place"? Maybe you struggle to identify with the people & world around you. Perhaps, as a young adult, you feel unprepared for "adulting", frustrated, and overwhelmed. These are common thoughts of my clients; pre-teens, teens & young(ish) adults who want support whether struggling with school, work stress, socializing, self-esteem, and want to learn more about themselves. My services include mental health counseling (ages 13+) and private psychoeducational evaluations (ages 7+) with an emphasis on Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism.

Hi, I'm Brent Batter, LMFT. I am passionate about helping others and I have a diverse blend of experience providing compassionate care with many different client groups. I look forward to helping you gain clarity in life and excel in the goals that you have for yourself. My lifelong passion is for people and believe we all have an intrinsic desire to move toward health and happiness. I would be honored to work with you as we discover your path forward.

The person you commit to has the power to make your life better or, in some unfortunate cases, worse. That’s why Premarital counseling is so important: This isn’t meant to scare you, but it also isn’t hyperbole. Getting serious with someone is fun and it’s also a meaningful process that you want to go well because the stakes (your futures) are so high. I can help you and your partner sort through what you need to make sure you’re the right fit for lasting love. During our initial meeting we’ll review your marriage goals and discuss the results of 3 industry-leading assessments designed to determine your compatibility.

Hello! I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English). My work as a therapist began in 2014. I provide therapy to adults living throughout the state of California (through Telehealth). My approach is tailored to each person’s individual needs so that they can make progress toward their mental health goals. Some of the support I have provided includes collaborating with clients to identify solutions, develop coping skills, increase self-care, learn how to communicate effectively, and learn how to manage/express emotions. I would love to discuss how I can support you and determine if I am the right therapist for you.

Are you tired of living each day on an emotional roller coaster, not knowing how you'll feel from one moment to the next? Do you wonder if you’re living your best Christian and/or spiritual life. Has life become so stressful that you wonder how you'll make it to the next day? Do you feel sad, tired, and anxious often? Are you giving yourself grace and embracing your spiritual beliefs to live your best life. Just know that you are not alone. Healing mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is the first step. Living and healing from the inside out is a journey of healing from old wounds. It’s a choice and takes practice.

Live your truth. Follow your bliss. Do you. Sounds simple, right? Except that, all too often, we convince ourselves that who we are is not enough, that what we want is undeserved. So we stifle our talents, ignore our truth and deny our deepest desires. Before we know it, we’re living someone else’s life, satisfying everyone’s expectations but our own. All to earn the love and acceptance we don’t feel worthy of otherwise. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In a world not created for our comfort or success, the challenges of Black, Latine/a/x, Indigenous, Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI), and People of Color often go unnoticed by others. Are you constantly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and unable to prioritize yourself? Do you feel as though your relationships are one-sided? Have you experienced microaggressions, felt marginalized, or like an impostor in predominantly White spaces? Are you ready to level up and reclaim your power?

Problems are problems, people are not problems. Thru 28 years of clinical practice, I've been privileged to companion many individuals & families facing cancer, chronic illness & distress (depression/anxiety). I provide empathy, compassion, insight & support. We stand up to problems together focusing on resilience, wellness, enhanced coping, reduced distress, and adjustment to loss & life transitions. We find your strengths & values that have been obscured by problems. I skillfully weave eclectic therapies with mindfulness, compassion & meaning-making, and justice. I offer companionship on one's quest for personal insight & renewal.

Often, seeking help is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself. We will use a collaborative, interpersonal, culturally sensitive approach to identify and address your concerns. Typically individuals work on issues such as depression, anxiety, partner and family relationships, grief and loss, work/life balance, identity, body image, career conflicts or life transitions. You may only need a brief course of therapy, or perhaps you would benefit from longer term work. We will create a plan that meets your needs and supports your journey of personal growth.

We at APLA Health - David Geffen Center, located in Koreatown, are dedicated to serving our community, and we make working with individuals of all backgrounds part of our mission. We are here to help, whether you're completely committed to change or you're struggling with the idea.

"The purpose of therapy is to remove blocks to truth; to help you abandon any patterns of belief that no longer serve you in a productive way; to implement self-forgiveness. Therapy can alleviate suffering and open the door to peace of mind. It can assist in separating illusion from reality and even reality from truth. Finally, it can help you to learn to make your decisions from internal prompts because you have created an internal locus of control." From "A Course in Miracles" Most clients start noticing change in their perspectives, outlook and coping skills early in the process.

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." (Maya Angelou) I understand that as we experience life we will inevitably encounter obstacles and stressors that challenge us to change. I also believe these moments present opportunities for transformation. I recognize that life transitions and personal experiences can sometimes be overwhelming, however they can also be valuable seasons with the potential to generate "peak and valley" experiences that can alter our life course.

Depression, anxiety, infidelity, sexual abuse and behavioral issues can lead to feeling depressed, frustrated stuck in a cycle, and experiencing difficulty finding your way. I commend you for taking the first step towards seeking assistance. As your Therapist, you will receive professional Therapeutic guidance, in a confidential safe setting. "Helping you to move forward on your journey in life is my reward". Women, men, couples and families often face tremendous stress, managing life responsibilities and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience in the field. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them get back in balance, feel and act more like themselves, to feel empowered and better able to effectively manage their lives. I help people to feel more in control over their circumstances: their own thoughts and feelings, their relationships, and their responsibilities. My approach to therapy is client and family centered, warm, nonjudgmental, solution-focused, and strength-based.

Most of us pride ourselves on our strength and ability to "get through" life challenges. Yet, there are times in all of our lives when we seem be in a 'bad space' or things just seem out of alignment. People come to counseling because they are struggling with an issue, relationship, unresolved feelings, or feeling numb and apathetic to the world. Sometimes, we need insight into our choices and behavior or the impact of family dynamics on us. Counseling is about gaining insight, overcoming challenges, reconnecting mind, body, and spirit, fostering positive connections with others, and flourishing.
