EMDR Therapists in Redondo Beach, CA
We draw on aspects of cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, psychodynamic, and biofeedback to assist patients in improving their symptoms, relationships, self-image, and coping strategies.
One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, our approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". we strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. We specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

I have used EMDR for about 25 years along with somatic therapy to help people work through traumatic experiences and find relief.
Stepfamily life is challenging. You may very well be wondering how you're going to do this. It looks like it "should" be easier than it is and that you "should" be able to figure this out. Your loved one cannot understand why you struggle. But I do. I've been there and it is why I help couples dealing with stepfamily life. You are going through challenges that simply do not occur in a first family. Learning about these dynamics and working with them creates more remarriage success. I can help you find success in your stepfamily.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and while I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, I integrate techniques like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and somatic therapy to create a treatment plan that (actually) works for YOU.
Hi, I'm Erika! I'm passionate about helping individuals (14yrs+) heal from the impact of sexual assault. Specializing in trauma recovery, I offer a safe space to explore your experiences and work towards recovery, while meeting you where you are at. Whether you're struggling with the immediate aftermath or long-term challenges like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, I'm here to help. I also work with individuals who might struggle with an eating disorder (like anorexia, binge eating, or body image concerns), or addiction. Perhaps you're a couple navigating relationship struggles (and want to disrupt core patterns that aren’t working).

I rely on over 20 years of clinical experience in private practice with hundreds of individuals, couples and groups along with EMDR, EFT and somatic experiencing to help clients gently heal painful memories, experiences and negative patterns.
I specialize in cutting edge techniques that work at the level of the unconscious mind to help gently and efficiently shift unwanted patterns of behavior. We often don't realize that the way we respond and perceive things in the present is due to past programming. This programming not only creates a blueprint for who we choose and how we behave in our intimate relationships but also determines our ability to cope with stress and deal with painful emotions throughout our lifetime. The techniques I use and teach my clients work especially well with anxiety, phobias, depression and trauma.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing ( EMDR) and hypnotherapy.
Finding a psychotherapist you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings with can seem like a great challenge. As you search, it is helpful to be mindful of what is bringing you to therapy and what you are wanting from a therapist. When you find someone you think you may be able to bond with, you can talk with them about what you are looking for and if you don't know, ask them how they envision working with you. As a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I believe that meeting the client where they are is the key to creating a safe and supportive environment conducive to change.

Using cutting edge therapies such as EMDR, along with my playful style and calming presence, healing is possible.
You feel frustrated that your old patterns keep repeating in new form. People tell you to love yourself first, but you have no idea how to get there. Maybe you have said or done things you are not proud of and can't let go of the feeling that you are "damaged" or "not good enough". You can see your past experiences with new perspective but can't shake the torment. You aren't sleeping well, eating well, or showing up as your best self much of the time.

In addition to EMDR, Mindfulness is the tool I teach to help clients regulate emotions and better cope with difficult thoughts.
Many of us have experienced trauma or adverse life events. I believe that we have the power to heal ourselves and at times we just need some extra support in doing so. With the combination of EMDR Therapy, Mindfulness skills and Attachment-Focused Therapy I help clients overcome symptoms of trauma and achieve greater self-awareness and personal growth. Traumatic material can cause blockages or an imbalance in the nervous system; leading towards feelings of anxiety, depression or despair.

I am EMDR trained.
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), I focus my practice on clients who struggle with trauma, substance abuse, and personality disorders. I want to assist you with transforming your negative coping (substance abuse, self-harm, disordered eating, risky behaviors) into positive coping that will decrease your feelings of anxiety and detachment and increase your ability to sustain long-term relationships and employ self-love. I believe that many of our negative coping skills are rooted in a history of trauma, which requires careful consideration and a gentle, loving, experienced approach to process fully.

I draw from a multitude of evidence-based modalities, including comprehensive DBT (individual and/or group therapy and phone coaching), EMDR / AF- EMDR, Somatic IFS, and ACT, in order to enhance and customize the therapeutic process for each individual client.
It takes courage to start/restart therapy - well done for taking the first step! Whether your therapeutic needs are straightforward or complex, my ultimate goal is to empower you. I specialize in treating BPD and complex trauma. Many of my clients identify as creative, sensitive, and/or neurodiverse (ADHD, Autism) and tend to struggle with some combination of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and/or substance abuse. Whatever you're facing, we will customize your treatment plan together in order to get you the best, most efficient results possible.

As a husband and father, I understand that it’s hard living up to the hype of a working professional, teen, or couple residing in the ambitious LA Southbay. You appear successful & like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. Prior to becoming an Executive Therapist & EMDR Trauma specialist, I spent years in top universities and high stress corporate environments. As a result, I understand the pressures of school, work, and family life and can provide insight, strategies, and support to help you succeed and thrive.

You feel like you're falling apart after years of "holding it all together". Maybe you've worked with a therapist before but need something different. You're anxious and feel disconnected in your relationships. You can't remember the last time you felt at home in your body, took a deep breath and sighed in relief. Maybe you've heard of EMDR therapy but aren’t sure if it can help you. If you’re ready to consider looking at the scary things you've been keeping in the lock box in the back of your mind and want to trust yourself, we might be a great fit for therapy together. It's time to reconnect, to learn to cope with stress, to heal.

As an integrative therapist, I use EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, psychodynamic, attachment, and mindfulness to support my clients in reaching their goals.
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or other challenges, I am here to support you and provide you with a space to reach your goals. The measure of mental health is not feeling happy all the time—it is the ability to move through difficult moments and continue forward. I hope to help all of my clients develop the self-compassion that they need to be kind to themselves while learning how to integrate their history with present day experiences and emotions. Major goals are often setting appropriate boundaries, self-care, managing acute symptoms, improving communication skills, and developing new identities.

Our experiences shape who we are, how we see ourselves, and what we believe we're capable of. But those stories aren’t set in stone. Together, we can explore new possibilities, break free from old patterns, and rewrite the narrative.
