Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I focus on relationships and attachment issues using Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy working from an attachment based model.

I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA population and have a familiarity with LGBT specific issues gained from my clinical experience at the LGBT Center for many years.

I currently work with adults, couples, and families. I see therapy as one approach for an intentional practice of self and relational awareness. If you are feeling limited by your own beliefs, expectations or blurry boundaries with others, and/or constructs and constraints imposed by our systems, I want to help empower you to be curious about your potential and purpose in your own life and in the world around you. I like metaphors, so I'll use one now. I see therapy as a bass line, something that maintains a consistent and reliable beat in the background while you improvise, play, and experiment in the foreground.

Hello, my name is Donna Cohen Cretcher, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe life is a journey and everyone has their personal challenges. I enjoy the experience of understanding you and helping you. I am an active participant in sessions by asking questions to fully understand who you are and how best to support you. I individualize your treatment based on what you want, need and who you are. I see myself as a coach to support you in obtaining your goals and a sense of wellness in your life.

My goal is to empower individuals by helping them tap into their inner strengths and resilience. As a first-generation immigrant and a non-binary individual, I understand the complexities faced by people with multiple identities, which fuels my commitment to creating a safe and affirming space for healing and growth. I incorporate a decolonized approach that acknowledges and challenges the harmful impacts of colonization on individuals' mental well-being. By centering the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities, I aim to promote healing and empowerment.

My work enables the client to become aware of emotions and resources as they learn techniques for self-management, communication & resourcefulness. Building emotional resilience is key towards achieving a balanced life. I work with the conscious & subconscious mind, while helping gain self-awareness to understand that self-limiting behaviors are caused by thoughts, feelings & beliefs of which you may be unaware. I help build awareness & empowerment during your journey. The motivations and process of therapy are unique to each individual. My practice includes work with individuals, couples, families, children, geriatrics, & groups.

Why therapy? Why assessment? In both, my approach identifies barriers and builds bridges to success. Therapy may address personal issues (e.g., anxiety/depression/OCD, sleep problems, living one's values) or supporting a family member with neuropsychological issues (brain injury, Alzheimer's, seizures, ADHD, LD). Assessment may help answer: Why is my child struggling in school? How does their neurological history affect daily performance? Is my child gifted? What kind of accommodations can we get for ADHD/learning disabilities/autism? I had a diagnosis as a kid, what does that mean for me now? Visit:www.elizabethjerisonterryphd.com

I often jump in and challenge the client when appropriate. I actively teach new skills and tools to the client, as my style is more of a coach and motivator.

Through my clinical/personal experience, I've learned how life transitions, intricate relationships, and unresolved trauma can trigger a range of internal and external reactions that stray from our core values. I firmly believe that when our nervous system responds to traumatic events, the resulting adaptive energy sometimes remains within the body, creating dysfunctional patterns that perpetuate emotional, somatic, and psychological distress, ultimately leaving us feeling stuck and isolated. We can work together to reestablish your emotional and physical well-being, laying the foundation for healthy relationships.

If you've been experiencing increased stress or anxiety, and need support, you've come to the right place. I use evidence-based techniques, to help my clients use and build upon their strengths to improve their coping. My specialties include anxiety, OCD, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, grief, life changes/transitions, insomnia, and stress for high performers. I also enjoy working with couples in order to foster communication and enhance relationship satisfaction. Additionally, I have training in neuropsychology and work with older adults and families coping with cognitive changes and dementia.

As a clinical psychologist, my work centers on providing clients struggling with life stressors and mental health symptoms culturally-responsive, scientifically sound treatment focused on improving coping, skills and promoting positive change. I create a warm, supportive, judgement-free environment in which patients can feel safe and thrive. Using clinically proven techniques grounded in science, my clients and I work as a collaborative team to build the cognitive and behavioral skills they need to flourish.

With nearly three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in helping adults recover from symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress and clinical anxiety.

I have earned a master's and a doctorate degree in clinical social work.
