Optum Therapists in West Hollywood, CA

NOT ACCEPTING CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. We know asking for help is not an easy thing to do. We also know that finding a provider you trust to help you navigate mental health care can be a challenge. That's why we're here and we're doing things differently. As a patient at Bonmente, you enjoy comprehensive treatments customized specifically for your unique circumstances, convenient telemedicine appointments that allow you to see your provider from the comfort of home, an online patient portal that lets you communicate directly with your provider, and a highly trained support team that makes becoming a patient as simple as it should be.

Accepting New Clients! I am a bilingual therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families thrive, my journey informs my approach. I was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq, and moved to the States at the age of 17. This unique perspective allows me to bring empathy and understanding to my work as I understand the ebbs and flows of life's transitions; I've been there, I understand! I know that each person's story is different, and I’m here to listen to yours and help you find your way forward. Together, we'll embark on a voyage of self-discovery and transformation—a journey fueled by courage, curiosity, and compassion.

I work with couples, groups, and individuals. Do you isolate, feel misunderstood, or have difficult connecting to others? Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try - you can't catch a break? Have you been told you are "too sensitive" or "too intense"? Do you want to hide parts of yourself? Do you want to build more connection in your relationships? Do you find you and your partner continuing to argue about the same things? You are not alone. Often times our old wounds and experiences get in the way of living.

As non-binary and trans folx we often find ourselves wondering "where do I belong in this world?" and "why can't I just be myself?" It seems like we've tried everything but we dont feel like we belong or we are in a safe place to live & work. We often wonder when its going to get better? When can I just live my life fully how I am? Sometimes we feel sad and it can be a very lonely place. We can even forget just how special and unique we are because we are so different and surrounded by those who just don't get it. We really want someone who can connect to us &make our experiences feel validated, reminding us that we are beautiful.

Offering Face-to-Face or TeleHealth (online video in real-time) psychotherapy. With over 30 years of clinical experience helping people change, I can appreciate the challenge of searching for the right therapist. You want a caring, professional but most of all an EFFECTIVE therapist. The point of all therapies is to do one thing- HELP YOU TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES, You're seeking a therapist because whatever was working up until now isn't working as well. You've come to a crossroads on your path. My task is to assist you in choosing the right direction. I specialize in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral and Hypnotherapy to address:

Dr. Terry Oleson received his PhD in Psychobiology from the University of California at Irvine in 1973. He has been licensed as a Psychologist in California since 1977. Dr. Oleson served on the faculty of the California Graduate Institute for 35 years and was Chair of the Department of Psychology for 20 years. His private practice is located near West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, where he offers individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, and hypnosis. Dr. Oleson's style of psychotherapy integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Jungian psychoanalysis to assist individuals seeking to alleviate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem.

I help people re-take ownership of their lives. If you've had fear, depression, or out of control behaviors keep you from living your life, I'll help. Regardless of the challenge you're experiencing, I'll create a safe space in which you can talk about it, and we can safely find answers and direction. I'll give you tools to reduce the stress in your life & in your relationships. I help people find different solutions looking at their lives from a different viewpoint...a viewpoint of acceptance, without judgment, and finding the answers together.

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I understand how anxiety and low self esteem can be unrelenting companions, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom. The weight of sadness can be suffocating, draining your energy and leaving you in a constant state of emotional numbness. Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness and we will find it together.

I have maintained a private practice providing individual, couple, and group psychotherapy in the Los Angeles area for the last 21 years. Life is not easy, and sometimes it gets really hard. But the measure of success is how we cope with life's challenges.

Establishing a meaningful therapeutic connection is the foundation for learning how to improve one's quality of life, develop healthy relationships and cope more effectively with life stressors. Through the therapeutic relationship, I work together with my clients to address and resolve various psychological symptoms and underlying concerns to help them lead healthier lives. I specialize in treating individuals who may be having difficulty coping with present life problems or trying to manage living with the impact of traumatic experiences. I believe that developing healthy coping skills and processing underlying issues leads to a relief in symptoms and an ability to re-engage in life.

Clients I see are often experiencing feelings that are disrupting their lives. You may be one of the many people who has a hard time acknowledging, asking for & accepting assistance. Therapy can help with many problems life presents such as relationship difficulties with partners, family & friends; death of a loved one; job loss; caring for someone ill; assault; rape; witnessing a crime, & other life issues. Others come to gain insight into how to make their lives better, more productive & happier. For over 20 years I have helped people "get out of their own way" and see how they unknowingly sabotage themselves & relationships.

Unlike psychiatry where medication is prescribed to prevent your feelings from being experienced, my practice is designed to make sense and make use of the sensations we are receiving from ourselves. Professionally bringing our attention to psychological symptoms puts us in direct contact with the core of our conflict(s) and sets forth a personal resolution.

As a psychotherapist with 30 years of experience I have treated individuals like yourself. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative and active relationship between you and me. We will explore your feelings and beliefs in a safe and trusting environment.

I have a wide range of experiences working in private practices, nonprofit organizations, and psychiatric settings as well as having served as an adjunct professor at California Professional School of Psychology.

I work with individuals and couples from a compassionate, non-judgemental, client-centered perspective.

My approach is highly collaborative in that we work together to identify problems and creatively find solutions that work for you.
