Female Therapists in Pacific Palisades, CA

Hello, Certified EMDR and Telehealth is available. I believe that no matter what your situation, challenge, and/or history is that you have the ability to overcome obstacles. You have the ability to rise above what is challenging you. My approach is very conversational. Through our conversations, healing happens, confidence is built, and lives are restored. I would like to help you reconnect with the best parts of yourself. In my private practice, I offer a variety of services including psychotherapy, comprehensive or specific neuropsychological evaluations and assessments for Federal, State, or private agencies.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Struggling to find meaning or feeling lost? You’re not alone, and I’m here to help! As your therapist, I’ll create a non-judgmental, warm, and nurturing environment where you can embark on a journey of self-exploration toward greater self-awareness, growth, and healing. It’s important to me that you look forward to our therapy sessions and leave with a sense of clarity and confidence in the positive changes you’re making. You deserve to live a meaningful and peaceful life, and I want to empower you and help you get there.

In short, I love my work. I get to help individuals grow and become more of who they are. As they are better able to cope with obstacles such as stress, anxiety, and depression, I watch them find greater fulfillment in their relationships, career/academics, and overall wellbeing. In my practice I treat a breadth of concerns ranging from psychiatric symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, eating disorders) to relationship issues, family issues, low self confidence, trauma, and grief.

I assist teens who are lagging in their developmental skills to boost their self-esteem, perform better in school, and prepare for college environments. I help parents to identify and support their teen’s needs, so they can better reach their maximum potential.

To everyone around you, it looks like you've "got it together." But deep inside, you feel like an impostor. Even though your life looks great on the surface, you feel chronically anxious, as if it could all fall apart at any moment. You'd like to be more authentic, but you worry about what would happen if other people knew the "real" you. Sometimes, you wonder if you've spent so much time faking it that you've lost sight of your true self altogether.

I am a neuropsychologist, and I work with children and adults. I provide therapy and neuropsychological assessment. THERAPY: I help individuals struggling with anxiety, stress, behavioral difficulties, and school/work issues. ASSESSMENT: I assess individuals experiencing a variety of issues including ADHD, learning disabilities, academic difficulties, attention issues, thinking/memory problems, and those seeking accommodations for school or standardized tests (SAT, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT...).

Hi, I'm Erika! I’m passionate about supporting individuals (ages 14+), couples, and families navigate many of life's challenges. My areas of focus are anxiety/depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, addiction, or past trauma. Maybe you've experienced sexual assault, or struggle with an eating disorder like anorexia, binge eating, or body image concerns. Perhaps you're navigating relationship struggles (and want to disrupt core patterns that aren’t working), or addiction (including substance use, sex addiction, or porn addiction). Whatever your battle, I offer a safe and supportive space to heal and rediscover yourself.

Neurofeedback works best supported by Somatic Therapy. Parvin's multifaceted somatic approach with hand-on sacrocranial work and background in clinical psychology is a perfect preparation and compliment to Neurofeedback. The focus of her work is on facilitating a more balanced, wholesome state in the brain. With a new level of functioning, clients have a chance to develop new habits and accomplish new goals. Typical training sessions last 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter 50 minute sessions with only neurofeedback are warranted.

Therapy seeks to address the patterns and unresolved material unique to each of us which hampers our ability to connect meaningfully with others and limits our capacity for joy. I work with couples and individuals looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and work collaboratively to cultivate curiosity, authenticity, honesty, self-compassion, and the ability to tolerate difficult feelings. I use a combination of gestalt therapy, psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, EMDR, and somatic interventions when working with individuals. My couple’s work is mainly inspired by family systems theory and imago therapy.

I help clients develop self-compassion and empower them to create meaningful lives informed by their values.
