Career Counseling Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

On the surface, life seems to be going smoothly. On the inside, it's a different story. Anxiety, depression, and stress quietly chip away at your well-being and relationships. What once proved effective might now fall short as circumstances shift, and your life and goals evolve. Perhaps you're mid-career, grappling with the elusive balance between personal and professional life. Maybe you've ticked off the milestones on your "roadmap to success" yet yearn for more depth and meaning. If this narrative resonates with you, and you're here in search of a solution, welcome and congratulations on taking this pivotal first step!

I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space to collaborate on your goals. With an integrative therapy approach tailored to your unique needs, we would work together to build a connection where meaningful change can occur, allowing you to live with more ease and move forward in life empowered by strengths, both old and new. I approach our work with cultural humility and an anti-oppressive framework that supports intersectionality, particularly for those who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or queer, women, creatives and artists, and birthing parents in all stages of their perinatal journey from preconception to postpartum.

My results oriented approach is derived from a commitment to each individual’s conscious process of development. Gaining deeper insight into yourself and what you what you want is the groundwork for manifesting your goals in career and relationships.

Are you feeling alone, unheard, or stuck? Are you experiencing anxiety, fatigue, and excessive worrying that impact your relationships and career?

In sessions, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify ways to incorporate positive changes for your negative thought patterns. Thus, you will learn to become better equipped in maintaining your personal or professional goals. I am committed to helping my clients decrease anxiety and manage healthy relationships.

My name is Michelle Lee and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (145797). I have been working with children, teens, adults, and families since 2015 and I am passionate about mental health. I support individuals to understand that they are not their symptoms and focus on empowering them to meet the unmet needs behind these symptoms and realize strengths, on their journey to creating more life satisfaction. My therapeutic approach is centered around the belief that each individual is unique and therefore has a unique set of underlying needs and values that deserve to be nurtured.

Distressing symptoms, whether they be depression, anxiety, a sense of meaninglessness, addictions, or behavior problems can be painful and debilitating. As your therapist, I consider it my job to help you understand and utilize such symptoms as opportunities for growth. With the help of effective therapy, in fact, periods of stagnation and despair can serve as catalysts that allow us to discover previously unknown levels of happiness, prosperity, and inner peace. As your symptoms diminish, together we will work towards expanding your capacity for work, love, and creativity. I offer a free initial consultation period for all new patients.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with 9 years of experience, and believe that therapy should be a custom, collaborative journey tailored to my clients goals and challenges.

It can feel like a full time job to manage demanding family members, work commitments, and being a good partner. If how you've dealt with it all isn't working any more, I can help you to create space and deeply enjoy life again.

I offer therapy ($290: individual, $345: couples) and assessment for ADHD, learning disorders, mood & neuropsychological testing ($3,500+). I empower my clients to take the next personalized, informed steps towards lasting change. As you learn coping skills in a warm, relational setting, we'll alleviate your symptoms by identifying and challenging your maladaptive thought, emotional or behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we'll identify your strengths and apply them towards achieving your goals. My goal is to enable you to achieve a meaningful life of purpose, connection with others, and fulfillment with yourself.

I'm Dr. Dakari, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with expertise in treating a variety of mental health concerns with early/mid career professionals.

Most of us pride ourselves on our strength and ability to "get through" life challenges. Yet, there are times in all of our lives when we seem be in a 'bad space' or things just seem out of alignment. People come to counseling because they are struggling with an issue, relationship, unresolved feelings, or feeling numb and apathetic to the world. Sometimes, we need insight into our choices and behavior or the impact of family dynamics on us. Counseling is about gaining insight, overcoming challenges, reconnecting mind, body, and spirit, fostering positive connections with others, and flourishing.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.

Making a change takes an act of courage. Congratulations on deciding that you want something different.

I have committed to keeping up with evidence-based practice and constantly growing in multicultural humility to ensure that you can feel supported and valued and also can achieve the needed change to be your best self.

Life keeps moving and you are overwhelmed and unsure of the best decision to make. Let's connect.
