Relationship Issues Therapists in Miracle Mile, Los Angeles, CA

Hi, I'm Dr. Aglaed Mayorga. I am a Clinical and Forensic Latina Psychologist with experience treating individuals who identify as LatinX, Black, Native/Indigenous, and or other persons of color. I specialize in symptoms of codependency, cultural inter-generational and generational trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use a cognitive behavioral therapeutic and holistic approach in my practice.

Schyna treats patients depending on each client’s needs, she uses methods/therapeutic models including: play therapy, music, role play, and guided imagery, Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic/Person-centered/Holistic/Gestalt, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Solution-focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-focused, Family Systems, Gottman Couples. Schyna believes therapy is a healing conversation that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental, person-centered, strengths-based and eclectic place to express their challenges, and help them to rediscover their strengths, talents and resources.

I work with clients in a trusting, supportive space — helping individuals and couples fully explore the present by identifying triggers from their past. Together, we explore relationships patterns and behavior that are no longer serving you, and help to create healthier ways forward through a holistic, collaborative approach. I specialize in narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, dating, codependency, grief, and life transitions; and I approach therapy with empathy, humor, and respect for each client’s individual needs. My role is to help you create a greater sense of well-being and self-love.

Are you overwhelmed with life? Do you want to pursue your purpose with a peaceful mind without resorting to medications? I help you discover your unique spiritual path to complete, emotional healing. I help determined, purposeful women live the courageous life they were designed for. I can help you clear the ruts and unhealthy patterns so that you could live the life you were meant to live in a natural, holistic way!

Maybe you're suffering deeply with something that's been with you since you were a child or difficulties that have come up just recently. Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right in your life. Considering psychotherapy is brave and a sign of your potential to heal and grow. I work in partnership with my clients to help them explore what's going on in their lives, how they're thinking and feeling about those things, and take steps to change them.

The state of the world may have you feeling lost, uncertain, or hopeless. This is a natural response to the collective shadow work we find ourselves in the midst of. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth. I work well with people-pleasers, late-bloomers, artists seeking to expand metaphor, healers unsure of their role in uncertain times, and those needing to carve out a place for themselves in the world.

My sessions often look a little different from traditional approaches, and tend to be more direct and synergistic. I help my clients identify patterns and connections that might have been previously overlooked, which helps us uncover deeper insights. I’m naturally curious about your experiences and will ask questions to help us both understand what motivates your behaviors and emotions.

Most people struggle from time to time with issues within themselves or in their most significant relationships: family, friends, intimate partners. I can help you deal with your immediate symptoms and provide the support and tools you need to enhance your coping skills. My services include therapy for adults, couples, teens, and families. I also provide supervision for pre-licensed MFTs as well as consultation services for both licensed and unlicensed therapists.

If you’re anything like me or my clients, you’re very much aware that your overwhelming thoughts and emotions keep coming, even though it seems like you’ve done everything you can to stop them. Maybe you’re stressed and can’t relax, believing that you have to do everything by yourself...but then you’re hard on yourself for having feelings and needs! You likely know you don't want to lose your temper so easily or be controlled by your thoughts, and you know that you want more from your life than how it is now. What you likely don’t know is how to make this vision of a life worth living a reality. You're certainly not alone!

Are you a woman whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot in life, but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. A big life change—maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, change in family dynamic, or move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.

Whether you are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a life transition, I am here to offer support and help you make meaningful change. Using cognitive behavioral techniques, as well as strength-based and solution-focused models, my goal is to help my clients develop coping skills to manage day-to-day stress, strengthen their relationships and gain an improved quality of life.
