Feminist Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I believe that therapy works well when it is a collaborative process. Finding a therapist you trust is key, as I see the relationship between therapist and client as the foundation for positive change.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, to sort things out, especially when you're confused or feel stuck. I offer a safe place for you to get to the bottom of what's going on and get clearer about what you want, who you are and who you want to be.

If you are struggling with people pleasing, perfectionism, chronic stress, work-life balance, dissatisfaction in your relationships, and a deep sense of emptiness or wanting more, I may be the right therapist for you. I specialize in working with femme and queer millennials from alcoholic, narcissistic, and other dysfunctional family systems. As an attachment trauma specialist, I help those who grew up in dysfunctional families to break out of toxic family patterns, create more secure partnerships and friendships, and reconnect with their passion for life.

I work with all types of clients, from "Type A" women who are intensely driven, but often feel exhausted from perfectionism-to individuals who have gone or are going through infertility and feel a loss of control-to postpartum women who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety. Most of my clients are seeking something deeper than just "talk therapy." They are interested in how their past traumas show up in their bodies and want to mobilize their pain, so that they can create new narratives and harness their innate power.

As a first generation Indian-American therapist, I offer a unique perspective that takes into account the cultural nuances of growing up in an immigrant family and how this can shape so much of who we are. By integrating my experience with traditional therapeutic approaches, I provide you with the tools to empower yourself and build self-trust. Together, we can work towards uncovering insights, foster healing, and enhance overall well-being.

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.

Therapy is a deeply personal, multifaceted journey inward in an already complex world. To those who choose to venture down this road, the process can leave one feeling emotional and vulnerable, but it will also be healing, enlightening and enriching. Taking steps down this path is a virtuous act and I am here to honor you and your process. Together we will gently explore what may be causing you pain. Healing is at the heart of my practice - what you will experience with me is empathy, non-judgmental compassion, and authenticity. My therapeutic style is warm, energetic and engaged.

Are you willing to be honest with yourself and try to trust me? If so, I'm ready to see if we are the right fit and to get to work to help you meet your goals. If you're experiencing anxiety, be it in social situations, about existential fears like the climate, or generally in various facets of your life, let's manage it together. I am also familiar with the heaviness and seeming intractability of depression and have successfully worked with clients to find a path through it. I have personal experiences with grief, and I feel honored to accompany anyone who finds themselves in the trenches of loss.

I am a proud queer femme first-generation Oaxaqueña residing in Los Angeles. I'm a sex worker rights organizer, a reluctant PhD student, and an abolitionist social worker. There is a special place in my heart for providing affirming, informed services to sex workers of any kind! My greatest issue with traditional therapy is approaches that merely train people to cope with harmful systems with little acknowledgment of the crushing weight of racial capitalism. Therefore, my approach to treatment is based on harm reduction, relying on community networks, and allowing care to start from within.

My name is Jasmine Perkovic, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I specialize in working with adults struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality disorders. With the knowledge that each client is on their own unique journey toward mental health and wellbeing, I ensure that I individualize my therapeutic approach to fit the needs of each client I work alongside. As such, I find the following therapeutic approaches to be of significant use including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and Client Centered Therapy.

No matter where you are in your journey, I am here for you with judgement-free, support. Whether you have a specific goal or just feel lost and don’t know what you need yet, we can start wherever you are. I am comfortable sitting with you in your darkest spaces, celebrating your victories, sifting through overwhelm when everything feels like chaos, and everything in-between. As a transmasculine and autistic person, I deeply understand the importance of creating a safe and affirming space to explore your identity and navigate life's complexities. Together, we can find what works best for you, no matter what that looks like.

Change is rarely easy and we shouldn't have to do it alone. I offer a collaborative space to uncover what may be holding you back from living the life you envision. Together, we'll understand your unique potential and explore all aspects of the conscious and unconscious mind, body, and spirit. My style is warm, engaging, and non-judgmental while also offering honest and direct feedback when appropriate. If you're looking to tackle issues like anxiety, depression, your relationship with your body and food, or are just looking to become unstuck from old patterns, you're in the right place.

Research indicates that the most important factor in psychotherapy may be the alliance between client and therapist. It makes sense that any individual, couple or family would reflect heavily on this aspect of their search. Initial consultations are about providing a uniquely safe, private space for the client(s) to share thoughts, questions, feelings or concerns. Specialization in ADHD, symptoms related to individuals and couples, as well as its impact on work/life balance, sex/uality, friends & family members, as well as co-occurring disorders.

I believe that a profound desire lies within each of us to thrive and live to our highest potential. I view therapy as a collaborative journey which encourages self-awareness and self-acceptance through the process of being present. In my work I seek to help my clients bring compassionate attention to the various dimensions of their emotional experience, may it be boundless joy or deep sadness. As we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we are better able to navigate through struggle and uncertainty.

Hello! I offer my clients extensive experience and specialized training to assist them in their healing journey. I am strengths-based, client-centered, trauma-focused, culturally curious and humble, and knowledgeable about how oppression operates. Having worked for many years with thousands of different people in settings such as individual, community, and hospital levels of care, my practice is grounded in evidence-based paradigms, including neuroscience, sensory-motor therapies, Mindful Self-Compassion, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction.

Therapy is an opportunity to rediscover what it feels like to be at home in yourself. It is a process of making the road by walking—of taking step after step to explore your experiences, beliefs, inner knowing, pain and hope in order to create a more meaningful and authentic life. My aim is to support you on this path through grounded presence, honesty and deep care.

Our past presents itself in the present moment. I treat my clients, not apply a model or theory on them. Whether it is anxiety, panic, pain, addictions, trauma, loss or grief - we explore together what gets in the way of living a life worth living. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, NARM, EMDR, PACT, Mindfulness practices and Voice Dialogue into a multidimensional approach to discover how to help you realize a satisfying life, the life you want to live.

Trauma can impact your ability to trust yourself, relationships, individuals, and your general ability to function. Whether you're having panic attacks, or struggling with trusting your intuition, we can develop resources to nourish you, identify triggers, and get you to a place of LIVING. I have experience and enjoy working with diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, from adolescents to seniors, whether in crisis, or looking to better self regulate on a consistent basis.
