EMDR Therapists in West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

When you’re experiencing the full chaos of living, it can be hard to find ways to meaningfully show up for yourself. As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, my goal is to open a space for you to pause, take a breath, and feel understood as you connect with who you are and where you are in the moment. I work across the lifespan with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults looking for a safe and nurturing environment to explore their multifaceted identities, relationships, and past/current/future lived experiences.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience working in community-based and outpatient mental health settings. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families to help them navigate life's transitions and develop skills to thrive. I specialize in depression, anxiety, panic, and relationships. I have past experience working with young children, teens, and adults utilizing an integrated approach to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and preferences.

I work from a strengths-based perspective and tailor my approach to individual needs. I am passionate about creating a safe space to help facilitate insight and understanding. My mission is to help individuals find ways to manage stressors by laying the groundwork for healing and growth.

From the outside, you appear to have it all together… Yet on the inside, you may feel like you're barely holding it together. You may feel stuck in a relationship, a job, or your own life. Hi, I'm Seema. I help clients of all ages learn to set boundaries, voice what they want and need, and work on self-esteem issues. My clients come to me for many issues, ranging from depression, anxiety, relationships, chronic dating, family issues, dissociative disorders, to painful childhoods. I strive to create an alliance where we work together so you can freely explore anything that's on your mind and transform into your ideal future self.

I utilize an eclectic approach to incorporate a combination of evidence-based practices. I understand we all learn in different way, and our journeys are all unique. My treatment approach includes providing a client centered, trauma-informed, strength based therapeutic style. I will work with you to determine which therapy models are best for you in our work together. I take a whole person approach with an emphasis on the mind and body connection to mental health.

You have the right to take charge of your life! Have you struggled with a loss of direction in life, issues with intimacy in your relationship(s), feeling down, on edge all of the time, or struggling with your identity? Let's work together to find individualized solutions to your concerns! I offer warmth, fresh perspective, nonjudgmental listening, and empathy while providing direction and attainable goals. My niche is working with individuals on identity/growth, relationships (to include ethical non-monogamy), sexual concerns, life adjustments, and confidence. I also have experience working with grief, self-esteem, and more.

You want to appear successful and confident, but deep down you are struggling with experiences that have you questioning your purpose and self worth. Toxic cycles can keep us feeling stuck and lead to feelings of overwhelm and despair. You may feel like you can't stop over thinking, or are having trouble finding purpose and meaning in your life. Life can bring us challenges, transitions, loss, and even traumatic events that can make it hard to move forward and live your best life. These experiences can lead to anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. Life doesn't have to be this way, and you don't have to navigate life on your own.

Trauma. Betrayal. Anxiety. Relationships. Discernment. These are my areas of focus. Whether you are seeking to heal childhood wounds or are facing an overwhelming challenge in present day, we can collaborate on a path forward. Change is possible and I will be in your corner every step of the way.
