Hi, I’m Rachel! Do you ever wonder why your kids struggle so much in school, have a hard time making/keeping friends, or have a difficult time following the same daily routines that are expected of them every day? Have you received multiple evaluations of them, but still feel lost in how to parent them? I get it. I’m not only an Autism and ADHD Specialist for both kids and adults ages 5-65yo, but I’m also a mom of neurodivergent kiddos. I work with children/teens/adults with varying presentations, who almost always have some level of anxiety, depression, trauma etc. I’m here to help support you and focus on what matters most. I also work with children and teens who do not have neurodivergent brains, but rather may have behavioral difficulties at home/school; issues with school refusal, significant degrees of anxiety and/or depression, overuse of social media and struggle in their parent/child relationships. I provide both individual and family therapy and believe that rapport with my clients and understanding their personal goals is what will make the most progress. I also specialize in life transitions, assisting teens in moving toward independence and the next steps in young adulthood. This includes career counseling, which I provide to adults of all ages.

I bring a lot of humor into my sessions because sometimes you need to be able to laugh at the dark.

My name is Deems and I'm an LCSW. I am heavily CBT and DBT based but as with most therapists, I draw from a lot of places depending on the situation.

I like art, the gym, reading, and going overboard on a new hobby every 6 months.

My goal as a therapist is to make my clients feel seen. Authenticity, language, and empathy are the three tenets in my therapeutic work. Our lived experiences shape the way we interact with others and, as a result, old patterns may resurface. By creating dialogue in the room, my clients and I are able to foster a space for healing work to begin. As a growth-oriented clinician, I value the growth that comes from the therapeutic process and want to help my clients reclaim their power and be the change they wish to experience in their lives.

My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around anxiety and depression. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.

Hi! I'm a psychotherapist practicing in the LA area for 15 years. I went back to school when my youngest was in kindergarten to get my LMFT license.

I use deep listening and a sense of humor to fully support those i work with.

I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My interventions tend to be inclusive and can involve one, or all of these methods depending upon what would be most beneficial for you. The fields of humanistic and Adlerian psychology have also greatly influenced my approach as a therapist. As a result, when I am asked what my theoretical orientation is, I identify myself as “eclectic.” My experience has taught me that there is no singular “best” approach. Only what would be best for the individual seeking help. The benefit of my diversified training is that I am able to cater my interventions to meet your unique and specific needs.

Hi There! I’m Paul Remmele. I am a Licensed Mariage and Family Therapist who is highly motivated to help clients navigate through challenging current situations, heal from past trauma, discover their true voice, and overcome obstacles that allow them to attain their full potential. I believe in clients’ innate wisdom regarding their inner lives, so I work with people in a collaborative way to identify and achieve their therapeutic goals. Progress can best be achieved by a combination of 1) thoughtful discussion leading to cognitive insights, 2) the processing of emotions, and 3) efforts to change ineffective behaviors. All three approaches are important, but I have witnessed the deepest degree of healing and growth through the expression of emotions in a safe and supportive environment. I strive to provide an environment for clients that feels safe, supportive and non-judgmental. Too many of us have felt overly criticized, shamed, misunderstood, neglected and/or abused. These troubling experiences often lead to feelings of mistrust, isolation and loneliness. To begin to reverse this negative condition, I believe it’s essential that clients feel fully heard, supported and empathized with through all stages of therapy.
