Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

I offer a warm and conversational approach to support individuals and couples in the process of exploration, reflection, and healing. Working collaboratively, I will help you bring awareness to the patterns of thinking or engaging with others that may no longer be serving you. By deepening your understanding of the roots and impact of these patterns and extending compassion towards the parts of yourself that developed them initially, you can begin to cultivate some space and freedom from their hold on you and live with more ease and clarity.

Currently I work with The Feeling Space private practice and I am supervised by Lisa Jellison, M.A., LMFT 46430/ LPCC820. I provide services to preteens (10-12 yrs old), teenagers (13-19 yrs old), adults (18+) and those in the Perinatal Community and Veteran Community. I also provide a safe space for body positive discussion and LGBTQIA+ individuals.

I chose to pursue a career as a therapist because I am passionate about working with people who want to make positive changes to their lives. Therefore, I would be dedicated to working with you to improve your sense of well-being and day-to-day functioning.

I work with adolescents and adults, most are struggling to develop dynamic coping mechanisms for the anxiety or depression implicit to the demands of their lives and/or careers. My patients are racially, ethnically, socio-economically and sexually diverse. Not all of my patients are cis-gendered. I work w/athletes -- high school, college, professional, and retired -- writers, artists, doctors, investors, actors, university professors, corporate executives, lawyers, scientists, high school teachers, stand-up comedians, photographers, programmers, film directors, entertainment agents, talent managers, real estate brokers.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

A Warm Welcome & Hello! Finding the right therapist involves that certain combo of chemistry & expertise. If you’re looking to expand your consciousness, you’re in the right place. What I do is more than talk therapy. It’s more holistic & innovative and blends elements from all the things that helped me personally - EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Eastern Philosophy, Spirituality.

As a therapist I aim to foster an environment from which the client can feel safe, heard, and supported. As a trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapist, evidence based therapies such as psychodynamic therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic therapies are utilized to best support individuals in overcoming obstacles and developing emotional well-being. Together we will harness your distinctive strengths, and nurture a deeper understanding of self and movement towards your unique personal growth and healing. We will collaborate on identifying your goals and overcoming present-day challenges.

Do you feel like you don't belong anywhere? Are relationships at home or work difficult? Is someone important to you suggesting that you need help? Are you seeking more clarity in your life? Are you sleeping well? Do you wake up fearful? Does a traumatic past continue to haunt you? Are you unhappy even when thing are generally going well? Are you struggling with a lack of motivation? Do you ever just feel like saying,"What's the use?" Would you like to talk to someone who isn't judging you?

Your life seems perfect to everyone else, but you struggle daily with thoughts that you don’t feel you can share with anyone. You feel stuck, uncertain, and want to feel brave enough to make bold choices to maintain emotional wellness. I specialize in individual therapy for professional women facing career transitions, job loss, workplace difficulties, and significant life changes. I also offer infertility counseling (also referred to as reproductive or fertility counseling) to women and couples struggling to conceive.

Do you feel anxious due to your work, family issues, low self-esteem, and relationship issues? I can especially help those with anxiety/panic attacks. I make it a priority to help clients with buried feelings who have trouble speaking on their emotions. Communicating emotionally is extremely important to promote well-rounded and mature adults. I will help you enhance your self-awareness around unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build skills necessary to handle life more effectively and develop actionable steps to reach your goals.

Hi, my name is Sheryl Torres. I'm a LCSW and I have a calling as a therapist to help those in need. The client-therapist connection is a key component of a client's success in therapy. I focus on helping clients heal from traumas and reduce their any anxious and depressive symptoms. I specialize in working with Individuals (teens and adults). I enjoy working with these individuals and also encourage families to partake in sessions as needed to ensure continuity of care in the home.

I work with those wanting to find a way forward from stuckness, inner conflict, and distress, disappointment, illness, loss and grieving. I can help with better understanding and resolving your challenges, handling anxiety, alleviating depression, exploring their root causes and larger unconscious meanings. I can facilitate making sense of the imprints left by your lived experiences and help support finding ways to feel more at home with yourself, in your own unique skin, and with others.

Welcome! Do you often feel stressed, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself? Is it hard for you to set boundaries with your family, friends, or partner? Are you facing challenges with your relationships, career, anxiety, or depression? Are you getting stuck in the past, repeating old patterns or pre-occupied with the future? I am happy to help guide, support and encourage along the way.

My ideal patient is curious and open to discovery. They are willing to make changes to the way they see and do things and are willing to advocate for change. Many of my clients are motivated by a desire for reconciliation, healing, and often justice.

I have over fifteen years of experience working with clients of all ages and situations who need support navigating their stressors and finding ways to thrive. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals experiencing an array of symptoms including depression, anxiety and those who have experienced trauma. Some clients are new to therapy while others may be coming back from a break. Despite the circumstance, many can feel “stuck” while working on personal growth, improving important relationships, or healing from grief and loss. I work to help people through this feeling and find ways to move forward.

Whenever the topic of sex comes up, instead of feeling energized or inspired, you feel the weight of expectations and anxiety. Sex and intimacy are a part of your life that you feel unseen, but there’s constant pressure. Date nights start to sound unappealing because they often end in awkward moments or feeling disappointed instead of connected. Arousal feels like it’s been shut down, and you don’t know how to get it back. It's like you're constantly navigating through a maze, trying to find a way to be true to who you are, among all the noise telling you who you should be. You long for deeper connection and loving intimacy.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I hold a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and I am licensed as a Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist. I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years, both in the private practice setting as well as community mental health. My practice focuses on individuals, couples, and families who are wanting to enhance their interpersonal relationships, develop self-awareness, and foster personal growth.

I believe that everyone wants to be let off their own hook. Oftentimes, we have been taught that there is something inherently wrong with us, both in our family systems and in society as a whole. By exploring and dismantling internalized, destructive beliefs around self-worth and value, my clients and I collaborate to instill value from within. When we are able to act from a place of self-knowing, self-love, and self-compassion, we are able to show up authentically in our relationships and in the world at large, enjoying the fruits of our emotional labor by living a life we might not have always thought possible for ourselves.

Now accepting new clients for telehealth or outdoor sessions. "Ultimately it is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives" - Esther Perel. Our relationships are everything. When our connections with each are not what we hope for, it is natural to feel unsteady in the world or even sad or anxious. We often get in our own way from finding and maintaining our deepest connections with those we love. Looking to our past can give us clues to our future and how to "live our best lives" (I think Oprah coined that one!). I offer telehealth sessions as well as outdoor sessions in a local park TBD.
