I am a Latine, bilingual, queer woman and psychotherapist based in Los Angeles. Currently accepting new clients, I work with youth of all ages, adults, and couples/relationships. I weave together somatic and mindfulness practices rooted in Indigenous and Buddhist traditions, to guide you in reconnecting with your deepest truths while navigating change. I believe people in all bodies deserve healing, and that you deserve therapy that centers your cultures.

Kati Phillips is a certified emotionally-focused therapist with advanced training in sex therapy and LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. She works with adults, adolescents, couples and folks in consensual non-monogamous relationships.

My practice is grounded in the belief that greater insight into our emotions, thoughts, and motivations can bring us closer to our highest selves. I provide a judgment-free space where clients can build self-compassion and feel that their voices are heard. I work with a wide range of clients, but my specialties include perfectionism, difficulty establishing identity and purpose, coping with effects of systemic oppression and discrimination, life transitions, and relationship conflict.

I hold the sacredness of authenticity, humaning alongside other humans. I focus on working with women, particularly women of color, to show up to the brutal, sweaty, and liberating work of tending to your life while challenging oppressive systems that want humans to stay small. Together, we examine trauma and pain with self-compassion, address avoidance, build vocabulary around emotions to expand your knowing, and work together to enrich relational bonds. I would love to hold space for you! I am licensed and available to work with residents of California and Washington.

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.

You feel overwhelmed by the pressure to succeed, yet still feel like you're falling behind some invisible measure of "real success." You are over being the giver in your relationships, whether in friendships where you initiate all of the texts or your intimate relationships where you feel more like a manager than a true partner. Your nervous system is spent because you're burned out, but even the thought of downtime gives you guilt. You're ready for something to change on a deeper level so that you can finally understand yourself, accept yourself, and trust yourself, no matter the circumstances.

When it comes to my work as a therapist, I am passionate about providing a space in which my clients feel heard, understood, and appreciated. While I have worked with a variety of clients including children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals, I feel truly privileged to provide support to each of my clients in a time of need. I believe that everyone has the capability to evoke change in their life, sometimes we just need some help figuring out how to get started.

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.

Clients describe my therapy sessions as a safe space for reflection and growth, even when life feels messy. My ideal clients are adults facing anxiety, relationship issues, depression, or life transitions. They want to understand and manage their emotions, communicate more effectively, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in working with intercultural couples, couples in transition, or couples aiming to repair bonds and foster trust.

Do you want to enjoy the present moments and be more present in your daily experiences, especially during times of change and transformation? Do you want to create a solid foundation during your current life transformation? Do you want to improve your communication and connection in your relationships during times of transition and growth? Do you seek to break cycles within yourself and overcome patterns that have been reinforced by societal, familial and personal narratives? Would you like to tap into your intuition and connection to your roots to find more balance, ease, calmness and creation in your life?

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.

Do you find yourself disheartened by the quality of your relationships? Perhaps unable to find the words to express your deepest thoughts and/or needs. Maybe you feel stuck, even dissatisfied, hoping to move forward but the overwhelm of it all keeps you frozen. If this rings true, know that there is hope. There is a way off of the merry-go-round that keeps you in this tired loop. There is a future for you. It is possible to live fully and freely all whilst feeling connected.

Is your relationship feeling hopeless, or stuck in conflict? You might find yourselves trapped in repeating patterns. You know communication should be improved somehow. Maybe you don’t spend enough time together. You could be avoiding each other because of past hurts you'd rather not bring up, or personal differences you've been struggling to address. You're likely not feeling as supported you could be. If any of this resonates with you, I'm a trained couples therapist here to help.

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.

Many of us appear to be functioning well in life, but in reality feel like imposters, often stressed and unsatisfied in our lives and relationships. I foster the discovery of genuine peace and fulfillment through "undoing aloneness," helping clients embrace their best and worst selves, and unearthing a more self-compassionate and authentic way of being. My clients are typically individuals, seeking treatment for anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and a wide variety of relational issues.

Do you feel as though your anxiety and depression are unmanageable? How about feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or helplessness like you’ve hit rock bottom and are struggling to find hope for tomorrow? Once we start to unravel the details of our past and trauma we give ourselves the ability to process feelings that we have long suppressed. I aim to collaborate with you and provide tools to decrease the challenging feelings you are currently facing and achieve a more integrated and balanced sense of self, leading to emotional healing and personal growth.

Are you experiencing relationship issues with your partner or family members? I’m passionate about helping people have healthier relationships within themselves and with others. I work with couples and families who are stuck in conflict, seeking better communication, healing from past wounds, bridging cultural gaps, or adjusting to life transitions. I also provide individual therapy to support those affected by relational issues. We can work on managing anxiety, processing trauma, overcoming people-pleasing habits, improving emotional regulation, working through codependency, and embarking on a journey of healing and well-being.
