Relationship Issues Therapists in Mid City, Los Angeles, CA

Your needs and goals might include how to find balance in daily life, resolving relationship or family conflicts, questioning gender, processing trauma, or how to best navigate any of life's transitions. I allow what comes up in the room to guide how we will work together--which might mean we look at and process the past, or stay in the here-and-now, or a combination of both. I approach each client anew, drawing on a number of modalities with the understanding that each person's needs are unique.

You want to open lines of communication in your relationship. You know that one of you experiences strong emotions like anger, or you withdraw during conflict. You are rekindling the flame. There's been a wound in the relationship and you need to learn to trust again. You are worn out from parenting. I have several years of specialized experience in relationships - intimate, familial, professional, etc.. Whether you are working on yourself, wanting to address your trauma, or seeking couples therapy, together we can work on learning practical solutions that will improve your relationships, and reduce other stressors in your life.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Does it feel like you keep getting caught in the same fight? Do you love your partner but feel disheartened and disconnected due to conflict? The longing you have for deep connection and closeness is a basic human need. Are you experiencing any kind of issue with sexual functioning? Pain with sex is common, yet commonly misunderstood. Chances are, you want to feel seen, heard, and believed in your experience with pelvic pain and maybe your support system doesn’t quite understand. You may have great medical support, but mind-body integration is critical for lasting pain relief.

Hello and welcome! I view mental health and its importance the same way that I view getting my car serviced; sometimes you go in just for a tune up and other times it requires more serious work. Either way, the service is beneficial and things start working a lot smoother afterwards. My goal is to create an environment that is safe and non-judgemental so clients feel comfortable disclosing whatever is on their hearts and minds. Clients come to me with a variety of concerns/needs ranging from relationship issues, stress, anxiety to simply needing a sounding board. Whatever the concern may be, you are welcome.

People enter into therapy for many reasons. Often the catalyst is difficulty with a relationship, a job, or a way of coping. Anxiety and depression can provide the stimulus to seek help. When they intrude into everyday waking consciousness they are indicators that something is out of balance and needs to be addressed. Areas of particular interest within my practice are parent-child difficulties, especially the early stages of parenting; relationships; finding one's voice and inner authority; creativity; grief and loss; and the struggle to live one's own life.

Do you feel useful and fulfilled in life? Are your relationships deep and meaningful? Are all your dreams coming true? Or are you overwhelmed by life? Do you doubt yourself? Are you disappointed with the people closest to you? If you are experiencing difficulty coping with the realities of your life and find yourself sinking into negativity, I can help you. In a compassionate, safe environment we can work together to overcome your problems. We can address the issues that are limiting your enjoyment of life and holding you back from happiness as your authentic self.

I come from the heart. I'm here to help you feel safe and secure. I am here to go on a journey with you to find your true self, to lift depression, to work with anxiety, and transform this time of crisis into stronger relationships and more heart-felt productivity. As a gay, Jewish man, I have an ear for all people struggling with difference and oppression. I can go deep with you into healing old trauma. Or I can help you coach you with day-to-day career and relationship challenges. If you need a therapy to jump-start new growth in the New Year, I am here for you on that quest of both self-discovery and seeing more palpable results.

I offer in person, outdoor eco-garden sessions (w/ indoor & phone when needed.) I laugh a lot with my clients and though the work of healing can be painful, my clients usually begin to feel better and keep coming. I work well with creative people, BIPOC, and across the spectrums of straight to queer and mono to poly. I have specializations in Psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Buddhist and Existential psychotherapy and a background in philosophy.

What's standing in the way of you having a healthy relationship? Relationships are challenging. Finding one and maintaining a healthy one can feel even tougher. Whether we didn’t learn the skills to do so or our past hurts are getting in the way, we often find ourselves stuck or unsure how to form lasting and meaningful relationships. Let’s work together to uncover unconscious beliefs holding you back and heal past traumas impacting your ability to love yourself and be content in your relationships. Together we can discover effective ways to express your inner most feelings, unmet needs, and rekindle love.

My aim is to create a caring therapeutic relationship with you that is founded in empathy, trust, and respect.

Previously employed at SpaceX as their in-house psychotherapist, I provide step-by-step guidance on how to stop wasting valuable time and energy on things you cannot control. Through the latest neuroscience research, I extend knowledge and concrete exercises that build healthy and resilient neuropathways. I tailor each session to practice how to be present to each new experience, instead of holding onto the past and focusing too much on the future. I create a comforting space for deep introspection and self awareness for you to reinvent yourself for ultimate success in all areas of life.

I strive to create a warm, supportive therapeutic environment where you feel heard and understood. I believe the safety of the therapeutic relationship allows you to engage in meaningful exploration of the issues that are impacting your wellbeing. I offer emotionally-focused therapy to help you increase insight and awareness, strengthen relationships, and gain the confidence and skills you need to live well. Therapy is a collaborative process and my role is to empower you to achieve your goals. I have experience helping clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression/sadness, self-esteem, relationships, difficult transitions, grief and trauma.

I have been a mental health practitioner for 24 years and while I generally practice within a psychodynamic framework, I strongly believe in treating the individual and appreciate the uniqueness of each client. Therefore, I employ a variety of techniques and tailor my treatment in accordance with your needs. My style is integrative, interactive, and collaborative. I treat clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career dilemmas, distressing life events, loss, and a desire for growth/self-exploration. I work primarily with individual adults and couples.

If you’re reading this, that probably means that you are in a place where you have tried a lot of things to feel better, or help your loved one feel better and just don’t know what else to do. I would love to help support you on this journey. Therapy is a collaboration between two individuals (therapist and client) and when successful, truly amazing things can occur within this space. I use the relationship between my clients and I to help them build insight and awareness into the way they show up in the world.

For over 25 years I have help individuals address complex problems and/or attain significant goals by examining what is going on right now, discovering what your obstacles or challenges might be. Perhaps you feel at odds in your relationship, having difficulty communicating, struggling with your children, or a doctoral candidate preparing for an internship interview, an entrepreneur looking for a creative breakthrough, looking to change careers, or you just want to figure out how to have more fun. I can guide you with setting realistic goals regarding your individual needs and take the appropriate actions toward reaching your goals.

Despite your best efforts, are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Unfulfilled or stuck? Are you struggling in your current relationship or longing to find one that's meaningful and loving? Whether or not your childhood was traumatic or unsupportive, the coping and relational skills you learned back then may be holding you back today. I'll work with you to help you shed those self-defeating thoughts and habits, even if you have lived with them a long time. Sometimes just a few sessions will get you through a rough time in life - and lead to growth and healing.
