Whatever your situation might be today, know that the relationship, the family, and the life you want are possible, if you are ready to untangle what is knot helping you get there.
From “tying the knot” to being “tied down,” we often think of relationships as two unmoveable units bound together. And this can be the case… but it doesn’t have to be. Relationships can grow, change and evolve but, sometimes we need to untangle things a little bit to allow for forward movement. While both you and your partner are, and will be, in this together, a successful relationship always begins with you. After all, all of your relationships with others are a reflection of your relationship with yourself. You must be able to find your truest and most authentic state, before you can ever reflect that outwards.

For me, the connection between client and therapist, as well as creating emotionally safety, are two critical ingredients in a successful therapy experience. We will collaborate to identify the specific areas about which you want assistance; such as, relationship challenges, every -day stressors, trauma and grief therapy, and mood regulation skills — to reduce anxiety and depression. Oftentimes we struggle with an inaccurate narrative, filled with shame and self-critical thoughts. Despite feeling stuck in negative patterns, we can rewrite that script and develop greater resilience.

Woodland Hills, CA 91364
Mina has helped people like you with depression, anxiety, self-worth issues, stress management, spiritual & relationship counseling, chronic illness and so on.
In order to fine liberation, in regard to any particular issue you are currently experiencing, one must bridge and synchronize the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, and that's where Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool. Mina's approach is to hold a loving space for you, while helping you reach a place of deep knowing, so that you can recognize the blockages that are buried inside your subconscious mind, move them through your analytical filter, release, rewrite, and create a bridge, where you can harmonize your subconscious programming, with your conscious decision. Once the bridge is built, liberation is experienced.

My therapeutic approach combines psychotherapy and neuro-science concepts to transform outdated neuro-belief systems, unconscious states of behaviors and unconscious wiring that often manifests in depression, anxiety, conflict, stress, and relationship issues which inhibits the power of true potential.
The current unprecedented state of our world has presented many challenges and taken a toll on mental health and wellness, triggering the body's stress response, de-activating the immune system, and putting our mind/body in survival mode. This has the propensity to escalate anxiety, depression, addiction, and disease and reactivates outdated coping skills and keeps our body in fight or flight. Let's work together to create a strong support system to manage and navigate the stress and uncertainty and minimize the toll on our mental health, physical health, and relationships, and empower ourselves for the future.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
