Emotionally Focused Therapists in Glassell Park, Los Angeles, CA

Whether one is suffering from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, or challenges in relationships, I am here to provide a space to explore these issues and foster personal growth. I understand that you are the expert in your life, and I am there to provide the support and feedback you need to address life’s challenges, identify barriers, explore solutions, and help you achieve your goals.

I believe the pathways to healing are through our intimate relationships with each other. But because few of us have experienced what it feels like to reach toward the soft embrace of another, and also be held, loved, and received just as we are, how we see and what we tell ourselves in response to life's struggles can become distorted. We develop false senses of self and of others; we wrestle with depression, anxiety, and obsessional thinking. We fall prey to addictions, and we struggle in our relationships, finding ourselves in patterns that bring conflict and disconnection.

Hi! I'm Resmine and enjoy working with couples, individuals, families and teens! I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples and Family Therapy. Do you feel you keep having the same fight over and over again? Are you afraid to bring something up because your partner, friend, child might criticize/blame/shut down or yell at you? I can help you become aware of and stop the negative cycle that keeps you feeling stuck and misunderstood by the person you love.

Do you feel like the weight of past experiences, secrets, or questions about your identity are holding you back from living a fulfilling life? Are you struggling with sexual trauma, childhood abuse, or other forms of trauma that have left you feeling overwhelmed & powerless? We're here to help. As a feminist therapist & board-certified expert in treating trauma & PTSD, I have extensive experience in helping people just like you regain control of their lives. Whether you're dealing with sexual, gender, cultural identity issues, or any form of abuse, I offer a safe and empowering space where you can work through your issues & heal.

Hi, I'm Zoë. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with over ten years of experience in mental health. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking a deeper relationship with themselves and with each other. I find that with acceptance of your true self, the more confident you will feel in communicating openly, making hard decisions, setting boundaries and making desired changes in your life. This holds true in our relationships as well. When we learn to accept truths about ourselves, we can then learn how to communicate these truths to a partner. I would love to help you find deeper connection with yourself and your loved ones.

I’m dedicated to guiding my clients through grief in the many ways it can appear - whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or an unfulfilled dream. As someone who has experienced loss first-hand, I show up from a place of genuine understanding of the toll these challenges can take on us. I also recognize that complicated family dynamics and lack of social support can amplify these experiences and make us feel more alone. My clients are adults and couples who seek insight and healing from past traumas, while remaining open to their part in affecting change and breaking negative cycles.

I help individuals and couples who struggle with intense internal experiences, whether from being a deeply feeling person or having ADHD. Together, we'll build a compassionate and tailored therapy that provides a haven amidst stormy times, offering support and understanding while working to quiet the internal chaos you're currently experiencing.

Life can be difficult to navigate. We accumulate invisible scars and wounds over time. Balancing your personal needs with the expectations of others, while essential to developing healthy relationships, can make you feel lost and without direction. You shouldn't walk that path alone. Psychotherapy can help you understand your place in the world and how to be in relationships with others without losing yourself.

Are you interested in exploring personal relationships, identities, or sexual issues from an open-minded and culturally sensitive perspective? Do you have past sexual traumas, toxic relationships, or codependency patterns that you would like to discuss in an objective and nonjudgemental space? When you allocate time to speak freely about these issues, you empower yourself to navigate any negative patterns or relationship dynamics from a place of curiosity instead of criticism. We will collaborate on the best way to unpack and understand your story from a growth mindset that is sustainable + strength-based.

Hopeless, lost, depressed, overwhelmed, anxious? Maybe you feel like it's all your fault. It's easy to feel like there's something wrong with us when we need help, that we're not supposed to be vulnerable, that we're supposed to tough it out. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is ask for help. There may be no perfect point where we can land on spectrums of intelligence, sexuality, gender, personality, or any of the identities we use to define ourselves. But our ability to move across these spectrums may make the difference between us feeling stuck in our day-to-day lives and being able to grow and change when we need to the most.

Do you want to change your life story, reclaim the narrative, and overcome life challenges? Do you want to increase your self-love and acceptance? If you’ve felt life is becoming too much to handle on your own, or if you’ve lost emotional connection with your partner, experienced increased conflicts in your family, or struggled to communicate with your teen, I can help. I believe we all have what we need to be happy and prosperous inside of us. But sometimes we need someone to help us find it. My goal is to help you uncover what you already have within you.

I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years, working with a wide range of clients and issues, including grief, anxiety and trauma. I believe when a client feels safe and has guidance they can work through pain and difficulty feelings and begin to heal.

My clients usually express experiencing conflicts, inside themselves or with others, and are looking for empathic, flexible, culturally competent, and dynamic clinician to provide support and guidance. My clients have challenges with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, grief, self-esteem, self/body image, interpersonal relationships (family, platonic, romantic), work-life balance, life transitions, racial trauma, racial identity, challenges with boundary setting, and assertive communication. I provide them an empathetic and supportive environment to explore these challenges, and develop goals and interventions to grow and heal.

Are you struggling or feeling stuck in your relationship? Relationships are tough, and couples therapy can be an effective way to navigate relational challenges and improve relationships for better. I'm passionate about helping relationships recover and thrive. Together we will uncover the underlying issues that contribute to an unhealthy dynamic in your relationship, learn skills to improve communication and navigate conflict, and strengthen your connection.

Living with a marginalized identity means becoming familiar with the space in-between. As a neurodivergent Black female therapist, I know just how creative you have to be to exist in a world that was not created with you in mind. My work recognizes the systems that you are up against & leverages the healing powers of art, community and humor to help you process big emotions, facilitate deeper self-awareness, strengthen your relationships and navigate life’s transitions in creative, holistic ways. My mission is not just to hold space, but to also provide tools to help you make sense of the gray areas & live the life you truly want.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience working as a clinical social worker. I am also a registered art therapist (ATR). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, family conflicts, domestic violence, military trauma, caregiver-fatigue, and loss and grief. I am eclectic in therapeutic modalities, but my core principle is grounded in psychodynamic and insight-oriented therapy. I believe that clients are the experts of their lives, and my role in therapy is to be their ally and assistant.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Many of my clients come in seeking relief from anxiety and stress or to find support when relationships, school or jobs are overwhelming. I love supporting you in your journey and believe we all benefit from telling our stories and finding new ways to understand them. My therapy style is strengths-based and compassionate. Research shows that clients who trust and feel comfortable with their therapist report better outcomes. Knowing this to feel all too true in therapy, we'll create a collaborative relationship using curiosity, understanding, and humor in order to find growth and healing for you.

I hold space for individual adults, couples, children, and adolescents. From depression and anxiety, to life transitions, addiction, identity and relationship problems, I start wherever the client is and work collaboratively towards understanding. Whatever the obstacles between a client and their sense of meaning, purpose, authenticity or alignment, I help them move towards growth and change. I bring awareness and sensitivity to systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect us all in different ways, and I respect the inherent wisdom of my clients' psyches to strive towards wholeness.

Trauma, shame, depression, grief, anxiety, OCD, a lack of meaning in life - these are some of the issues that I strive to help people work through. My goal is to create a safe container in which you can explore your emotions and relationship issues without judgment. I am deeply committed to supporting you on your journey toward self-awareness, healing, and growth. I work with adults, couples, teens and families from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and collaborate with clients to tailor our sessions to their unique needs.
