Hi! I'm Eric Hamm, LCSW. I earned a MSW from Loyola University Chicago in 2005 and have been working in the Social Work field for well over a decade. I am a compassionate and goal-oriented therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life transitions, new challenges, and long-standing barriers. With years of experience in various social work settings, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique stresses people face when managing change, whether it's in their personal, professional, or relational lives. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and supportive techniques. I work collaboratively with clients to help them build practical coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and develop a greater sense of empowerment in managing stress and anxiety. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals facing life transitions, such as career changes, relationship shifts, or other personal milestones, as well as those who feel stuck or overwhelmed by long-standing challenges. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns while working towards meaningful, sustainable change. My goal is to help you feel more confident and resilient, equipping you with the tools and strategies you need to cope with life’s difficulties and move forward with clarity and purpose. Sessions are conducted online, offering flexibility and convenience for clients navigating busy lives.

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

Hi! I'm a licensed MFT based in Pasadena, CA (but practicing via Telehealth.) I received my masters from the University of Southern California in 2014 and cut my teeth working with young people and their families around LA. My education, training and experience have taught me more than just how to treat relationship issues, emotional disorders, and behavioral problems; I'm also acutely aware of the cultural contexts that shape my clients. I practice from a lens that is social justice-oriented, anti-racist, and affirming of all identities, and recognize that systemic issues like discrimination, racism, and oppression significantly impact mental health. I am comfortable treating many issues, but specialize in working with ADHD, "people pleasing," the "inner critic," and parenting.

I’m a first-generation, Vietnamese, transgender, and queer therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to the work. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. In my practice, I often draw from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process trauma and experiences in a way that feels restorative. EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing by using bilateral stimulation—like eye or auditory movements —to reprocess memories and reduce their emotional intensity. I also use Narrative Therapy, which invites clients to explore the stories they’ve been told or have come to believe about themselves. Together, we uncover how those stories were shaped—by culture, relationships, systems, or past experiences—and work toward reclaiming narratives that center resilience, agency, and authenticity. I understand the importance of creating a space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and safe to show up as their full selves. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity exploration, or simply seeking to reconnect with yourself, I’m here support you in that process with care, collaboration, and accountability. Are you looking for a mental health letter for gender-affirming surgery? I write those! Feel free to reach out for short-term therapy services to complete the letter assessment process with me. My practice uses old fashioned, human-generated tools and information methodically accumulated over years of community and evidenced based research. I do not use AI programs at any point in the therapeutic process. *I am not currently accepting family, couples, or group counseling inquiries* *My evening appointment spots are full* *Pls inquire about my reduced rate spots at $150/hr*

Do you overthink, replay conversations, revisit past decisions, predict problems, spiral, or get stuck in patterns that create conflict or keep you avoiding what needs to be addressed? You are thoughtful, observant, and more capable than you may currently feel. But the same mind that notices details, thinks ahead, and considers different possibilities can go into overdrive. You may feel on edge much of the time, dwell on the past, get irritated by small things, feel flat, or disconnect from things you once enjoyed. You may be going through this on your own or in a relationship with someone dealing with some of the same things. You may avoid difficult conversations, put off issues, or end up in the same conflict. Shame, fear of rejection, or trouble communicating can make it difficult to say what you really think or need. We can work on skills to communicate better, explore the expectations you bring to relationships, and recognize roles and patterns you keep replaying. Those roles may have served you long ago, but they may need revision now. I am Ramy Danon, a USC-trained Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 20 years of experience. Therapy with me is a real conversation. I listen carefully, ask questions, and tell you honestly what I see. I work with men, women, and couples, and I adapt the work to what is really bothering you and what you actually want to address. I also taught university and college students for 19 years. I love helping people recognize their abilities and expand what they believe is possible. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone, especially if you struggle to ask for help.

Together, we explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion while developing practical tools to support healing, clarity, and growth. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I meet each client where they are, moving at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 30+ years of experience. with children, families, adults, and veterans. Many of my clients have been challenged with OCD, Anxiety , Depression, Grief, Chronic Illness and Bipolar Disorder and addictions. In addition I have worked with children and adults in the autism spectrum (mainly high functioning/previous Asperger's disorder). I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with supportive and psychodynamic techniques to help clients develop a new skill set that can be helpful in their lives. You can experience less anxiety and increased confidence and self esteem. CBT can strengthen your ability to take charge of persistent negative thoughts and reframe their negative perspective taking by substituting a healthier understanding of their life. I implement a strong Cognitive Therapy Approach because research has shown the benefits and success of "CBT" as a framework for treatment planing in threading. I use worksheets, supportive therapy, talking therapy, and book reviews for you to better understand your journey are helpful avenues in counseling. Therapy can be an intimidating thought if you have never experienced and received the benefits of developing skills to work through the issues that are bringing you to therapy. In working together we can find the tools that are helpful to you for successful therapy.

You may be used to being the person others rely on, the one who keeps things moving and pushes through even when you feel anxious, exhausted, or unsure of yourself. Perhaps your mind rarely slows down, you are hard on yourself when something goes wrong, or experiences from the past continue to affect your relationships and how you feel about yourself. You may know that something needs to change but feel unsure where to begin. I’m Alessandra, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDRIA Certified Therapist™. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, and the pressure of holding everything together. My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible. Together, we can slow things down, understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and work toward helping you feel more grounded, trust yourself, and make room for your own needs.
