Female Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Hi there, and welcome! Are you looking for a personalized touch to therapy? A therapist with experience, expertise, but doesn't feel "stuffy" or unrelatable? Then we're the perfect fit! True Self Therapy was founded to help California residents easily access quality virtual therapy. We pride our team on being professional, relatable, warm, knowledgable, down to earth, educated, and applying research based change for our clients. Therapy doesn't have to be a chore - it can be an enjoyable part of your day. The True Self Therapy group practice was founded by Annie Kuni (Melman).

Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery that can often feel daunting to begin and my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I have always enjoyed the art of deep listening. I understood from a young age that opportunities to connect with others in these meaningful ways are a true gift are some of life's luxuries. People often gravitate towards relationships that feel safe and I've had the pleasure of being that somebody in clinic, school, and hospital settings.

Do you find yourself feeling angry? worried? sad? numb? Do you want to find peace within yourself? This is it. This is your time to make a change within yourself for a new mind and new outlook. Sometimes we tell ourselves "things will get better" and yet continue the same patterns expecting some kind of change. Change is difficult yet necessary to improve quality of life. I work with first responders and non first responders to assist with creating both a healthy mind and emotional state. It can be difficult to step out of a familiar routine but stepping into an unfamiliar routine may create peace of mind.

In navigating life's twists and turns, many of my potential clients find themselves at crossroads, uncertain of the next step forward. Some carry the weight of past traumas, seeking solace and understanding as they strive to heal. Others grapple with the hard questions, the ones that keep them awake at night, questioning their purpose and direction. In recognizing that there can be multiple truths, I offer a unique perspective that honors individual experiences and perspectives, especially for those who have felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. What sets me apart is my commitment to seeing each person as an individual.

Most people are struggling to adjust to COVID-19 life right now. Or, things have felt "off" for a while and quarantine has exacerbated some of your thoughts and feelings. Perhaps you feel confused and stressed about what the future will look like for you, your career, relationships, and life as a whole. You notice you’re unhappy, lonely, and stuck. Whether you are seeking therapy for a specific issue or to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I am here to help.

I help people who are dealing with: Job stress; heavy feelings surrounding break-ups; artists who have lost their spark and want to find it again-who are navigating between commercial pressures and the ability to have their true voices heard. Intimacy issues, trauma, and love & sex addiction issues as well as other addictive issues are a specialty. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack difficult feelings and to help facilitate emotional healing.

The PCH Psychological Testing Clinic offers comprehensive and targeted assessments for psychiatric, psychological and neuropsychological issues, learning disabilities and ADHD or ADD. Each evaluation utilizes qualitative and quantitative testing to produce a thorough appraisal with recommendations for treatment and referrals. Assessments are individualized for each client based on a developmental and psychosocial history, medication history and medical and psychiatric histories. Testing focuses on the specific, relevant problems that need to be investigated, such as psychological problems, treatment resistance or failure, difficulties in school or work, cognitive processing issues, failure to launch and treatment dilemmas.

I invite you to consider a life with self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth. Although, at this time this might be hard to envision alone. Therapy with a calm, caring, and compassionate person can help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I strive to connect the body and the mind to help create a sense of wellbeing and connection with oneself. I offer a safe space to feel, explore, and grow.

My clients describe me as easy to talk to, insightful, warm, and occasionally funny. I strive to help my clients find balance as they struggle with major life transitions, like early adulthood and becoming a parent. If mood swings and negative thoughts start to trigger earlier traumas or anxieties, I will be there to help my clients navigate a path forward to a better future. I work to help my clients heal from the past, organize the present, and grow into the best versions of themselves. I support clients in developing healthier relationships with their families, friends, and most importantly: themselves.

Are you struggling in relationships or finding it hard to connect to others? Do you feel "stuck" or have a hard time letting go of negative thoughts? Do you repeat the same behavior/relationship patterns despite wanting to change? Childhood trauma, dysfunctional family systems, grief/loss and many other factors impact how a person experiences the world. If you are looking to heal from trauma, develop healthy boundaries, improve self-esteem and feel more connected to yourself and others, I can help.

Do you sometimes feel disconnected, even in a room full of people? Are you sitting with feelings of not enoughness? Feeling unsatisfied with where you find yourself, or uncertain about where you're going? Does it feel like you're living your life on autopilot? Being human can feel really hard sometimes. You don't have to do it alone. I provide a warm space to help clients be with whatever is coming up. Through slow and gentle inquiry, we'll work together to bring awareness to the entirety of your experience - mind, body, and heart - so that you can show up in the world courageously and compassionately.

My ideal patient is curious and open to discovery. They are willing to make changes to the way they see and do things and are willing to advocate for change. Many of my clients are motivated by a desire for reconciliation, healing, and often justice.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Post Induction Therapy (PIT) to get to the root of the problems keeping you stuck, isolated and in survival mode. I'll be the compassionate guide who tells you the truth and gives you a soft place to land. It takes so much courage to begin working toward the life and relationships you want most. You are worth the work!

Hi there lovers. You want to feel understood and connected socially and personally. It's important for you to explore your raw self without guilt or shame, yet most of us don't have that luxury. The goal of therapy is self exploration and awareness, recognizing conditionings, traumas, and learned patterns keeping you looping. People feel most benefit from therapy when they are ready to put in work outside the session as much as in the session. I use humor, empathy and directness to give you a stable yet direct support system to help navigate your life towards satisfaction and feeling fulfilled.

Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised self-esteem. Through talk therapy, a perception shift and changing the narrative we tell ourselves, I believe we are all capable of having the life we deserve. We don't have to be defined by our past, our fears or that negative self talk. My approach to therapy is one of complete honesty, directness and a little sarcasm/humor when appropriate. I believe we are all capable of having the life we want, getting out of our own way, and getting closer to our goals.

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or emotional pain? Do you and your spouse fight all the time or have difficulty communicating? Do you feel like you are stuck, getting left-behind, or just not "good enough"? In therapy we will build on your strengths, helping you or your child gain confidence, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. You can learn to better express your needs to your spouse and to yourself. You can gain coping skills for managing difficult emotions and for more effective parenting. In couples therapy you will learn to create a more nurturing relationship. I am looking forward to helping!

Are you ready to begin your journey of healing? Do you feel stuck in your current relationships? You've come to the right place. It's time to uncover the source of your concerns and be unapologetic! I work with my clients to create a safe space to feel empowered, as positive change occurs, judgement-free and unapologetically. I promote positive mental health services through prevention, education, and interventions. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and adults within several demographics, including BIPOC and LGBTQ communities. I also work with couples facing relationship and sexual issues.

I hold a special place in my practice for clients struggling with eating disorders, spiritual issues, chronic autoimmune diseases, creative blocks, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and life transitions. I work with individuals, couples, and children, helping clients find the peace and balance they deserve. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space where you can gain insight into old patterns, develop new coping skills, learn to tolerate painful emotions and navigate life feeling more empowered. My approach is compassionate and gentle, but also direct, working to help you embody your authentic self.
