Therapists in McLaughlin, Los Angeles, CA

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling with anxiety, depression, or addiction? Seeking support for navigating complex family dynamics, couple’s or men's issues? You're not alone, and I'm here to help. I'm Chris Calandra, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) dedicated to guiding individuals, couples and families towards healing and growth. With years of experience in the field, I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families, facing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, men's issues, family dynamics, and addiction.

I'm a licensed MFT in practice since 2008. I am fully trained in EMDR; I obtained EFT Externship certification for couple therapy; I also received DBT and CBT training for anxiety at BECK Institute. I'm familiar with intercultural issues affecting mental health. I have treated individuals and couples from many different backgrounds. I'm fluent in Taiwanese, Mandarin, and English.

I can’t tell you what will happen in therapy. The best therapy will surprise us both. I consider therapy an adventure. It will be challenging at times, but also bring insights, wonder, and joy. Along the way, I encourage play, delight, and humor. If therapy doesn’t feel good, we won’t want to keep going. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, particularly among highly creative individuals. I also see couples, often those exploring nonmonogamy, or repairing infidelity. I don't have a map, but we'll face the unknown together. And as we tap into spontaneity, creativity and our connection, you will find your way.

The relationship we have with ourselves is the root to our well-being and is often impacted by early traumatic experiences that affect the way we move in the world and relate to others. I work with people dealing with attachment related trauma that continues to impact their life. When people experience disruptions in attachment relationships it can make it difficult to live a fulfilling life that is not weighed down by a feeling of emptiness or thoughts of unworthiness. These unresolved traumas tend to show up in our life in the form of depression, anxiety, addictions and somatic issues.

As a compassionate guide and ally, I am here to support and empower women who find themselves navigating the challenging landscape of overwhelm. Many women today have multiple challenges having to do with working a stressful job, maintaining or finding a romantic relationship, and at the same time you may also be a parent or caretaker for an elderly parent. Life can become overwhelming, leading to anxiety and depression, engaging in destructive behaviors, and using addictive substances to numb the pain. My mission is to provide a safe space where you can explore these feelings without judgment and find healthier ways to cope.

Relationships are essential to a rich and meaningful life. Often these connections are filled with many confusing and conflicting emotions. In the quiet of my office you can begin to understand the impact these relationships have upon your view of yourself and others. Thoroughly we will understand how your mind interprets and reacts to events and people. Knowledge brings awareness, and awareness creates opportunity for positive change. I have a calm gentle approach that gives you the space you need to explore your full range of emotional experiences.

I am a psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience providing quality mental health care for clients of all ages. Are you experiencing symptoms of depression such as feelings of hopelessness, tearfulness, or an inability to enjoy daily life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, or intermittent panic attacks? Do you have a history of trauma that haunts your dreams and affects your relationships? Has your child experienced trauma that is impacting his or her mood or school performance? Has family stress taken a toll on your children, your marriage, or yourself?

I am the Founder and Director of Root to Rise Therapy, a boutique psychotherapy practice that provides couples therapy and individual counseling in a warm, accepting space. As a highly trained psychotherapist and relationship counselor located in the heart of Culver City, California, my passion is helping individuals, couples, and families to create relationships and lives that they love. I believe that healthy relationships start with you and that in order to serve the people that we love most, we first have to learn to take care of ourselves!

Often times we get stuck in patterns related to our thoughts or behaviors that get in the way of us getting to where we want to go. These patterns can worsen symptoms of anxiety, depression and at times, interfere with our relationships and overarching goals. Through a collaborative approach, I aim at helping you explore your own motivation to take meaningful steps in creating the life you want to live by examining these patterns.

Hi, I'm Sari! I'm originally from New Jersey and moved to California in 2009. My past life experiences have driven me to become a therapist. I enjoy working together with my clients and listening to what they want to achieve. I support my clients by providing them with the skills they need to manage their daily struggles and ultimately reach their goals. My approach to therapy is person-centered as it allows clients to gain their own understanding of their experiences to help them with their personal growth.

I'm happy you're here! Life can be challenging, and it's normal to feel lost, discouraged, or in need of support at times. As an EMDR-trained Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with trauma, grief, anxiety, identity development, and relationship issues. I believe our past experiences interact with one another to create a beautiful mosaic of our identity. I focus on healing past wounds to improve present day experiences and support my clients in creating fulfilling relationships with healthy attachment. I’m curious and passionate to learn about the pieces of your life that contribute to who you are today.

Whether we're struggling with crushing anxiety, disordered eating, self-destructive patterns, or are looking to get into (or out of) a relationship, this work is about liberation from the noise in our heads by transforming our relationship to it. Through a therapeutic lens, I work with clients to alchemize original wounds into assets, challenge cognitive distortions, identify core confusions and intervene unconscious, fear-based belief systems. No mind hacks, no mantras, just compassionate straight-talk that will demand your grit, your courage, and most likely a sense of humor.

Hi, I am Dr. Hailston, a licensed Psychologist that also practices as a Forensic Psychologist based in Central California and working with clients statewide via telehealth.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a deep understanding of mindfulness, the significance of culture and language, and the intricacies of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, I aspire to help you explore yourself, maximize your wellbeing, and cultivate tools and practices that propel you to lead a life you love living.

Scanning through this website trying to discern which therapist will be a good fit from a photograph and a blurb is tricky and also a sign of the times. Ideally less time is spent searching the web for answers and more can be spent with a person whose sole intention is to understand the complexities of your point of view, your experiences and facilitate you getting to where you want to go, while walking right along side you. Depression, anxiety, trauma, distorted relationship with food, difficulty being productive; these are all areas I feel confident I can help you with.

The quickest way to solve problems is by seeing them in a new light. For some, this is as easy as having someone just listen and understand. Nancee offers virtual and in-office sessions.

Seeking support requires plenty of courage, strength, and determination. Taking the first steps toward change can feel both invigorating and nerve-racking at the same time. I aim to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to share your life experiences. One of our most fundamental human needs is to form connections, and I strive to utilize our therapeutic relationship as a guide for growth and healing. As a partner in your personal journey, I hope to empower you to gain the valuable insight and practical skills essential for overcoming obstacles, achieving your goals, and living a well-balanced, self-fulfilled life.

Together, we'll work on reshaping your relationship with yourself, processing past experiences and discovering how they impact your current story, rewriting beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and deciding how to move forward intentionally.

I believe in the healing power of connection and community. The decision to engage in mental health services is a radical act of self-care and hope for a better future. When we work towards understanding and healing ourselves, we also lay the foundation for understanding and healing our relationships and communities. My primary goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are and utilize my skill set to collaboratively work towards achieving your goals. Think of me as your emotional and psychological guide helping you discover, map, and interpret your inner landscape to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
