Therapists near me in Los Angeles, CA

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about the challenges you are facing. My background in marriage and family therapy, professional clinical counseling, and behavioral health has given me experience supporting individuals through a variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their individual experiences. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I’m passionate about helping clients reach their full potential and become the best version of themselves. I value empathy, transparency, and authenticity, and strive to create a trauma-informed space where clients feel comfortable showing up as their true selves. I also believe therapy can include laughter, fun, and genuine connection.

Therapy should be a safe, supportive space in which you can be your authentic self. As one human to another, I invite you to come as you are, knowing you will not be judged. My approach begins with learning about you, the challenges you're facing, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we'll set goals that align with your core values and what you'd like to accomplish. Whether it's healing past wounds, learning to manage emotions, working on relationships, or exploring your full potential, therapy is about you and I'll be here alongside you on your journey to a better life.

Therapy happens in a space we build together to nurture your growth--a space for new understanding, new experiences and healing. What brings us together? With therapy, it starts when you decide you want support because of how you are feeling, changes you want to make, circumstances you face, problems in relationships or losses you grieve. Maybe you are feeling sad, anxious, distracted or stuck. Maybe old coping patterns are causing new problems. Maybe you are burned out from work, care-giving, activism or oppression. Maybe you need more support. I have over twenty years experience helping people cope with with stress, trauma, grief, panic, anxiety, depression, relationships, neurodivergence and TBI. I work with evidence-based trauma recovery interventions (including narrative therapy and EMDR for processing and CBT/DBT for coping), Radical Therapy (internalized oppression and power in relationships) and Contemplative Psychotherapy (mindfulness and self compassion). As a cis gender, white woman, I work intentionally to be mindful of my privilege so we can create a safe space for your therapy. Let’s talk.

I believe deeply in the human capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel safe to explore their experiences, understand their emotions, and reconnect with their strengths. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you make sense of where you've been, and support you in moving towards the life you want to create. I believe meaningful change begins when we feel seen, heard, and empowered to understand ourselves more deeply.

For over 20 years, I have sat across from people carrying weight that most will never understand: the weight of service, sacrifice, survival, and the quiet battles that follow you home. Whether you are a service member navigating the pressures of military life, a veteran working through what you have been through, or a family member holding everything together behind the scenes, you deserve a space where your experience is genuinely understood. I specialize in helping the military and civilian community work through stress, trauma, relationship strain, and the moments when life feels harder than it should.

An experienced medical social worker, my niche is helping those recovering from chronic physical and emotional pain, mystery symptoms, illness and disease processes (including infertility, maternal loss, peri/menopause, terminal illness, limb loss, and caregiver role stress). My clients often have chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia, back/neck/hip and other joint pains, pelvic floor pain, EDS, POTS, dysautonomia, CRPS, IBS, PMDD, and other chronic conditions. I especially love supporting those coping with feelings of low self worth, depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, and grief. I am importantly trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and EAET -- the most current research backed methods for recovering from chronic pain that I especially love to share. Because they work! I am also trained in EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and energy psychologies like EFT (aka “tapping”). I study Internal Family Systems Therapy, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and dream tending.  My authentic approach is also intimately informed by the wisdom traditions that have healed my own life. The mother of a child with a life threatening seizure disorder, I am not unfamiliar with suffering. I often turn to my spiritual faith, Jungian Psychology, nature, and the Wise Woman Herbalism Tradition. I am a life-long meditation, yoga, and reiki practitioner, and always a student of Buddhist Psychology. I find healing in stillness, puppies, humor, art, poetry, and the sacred. I love stories.

I bring an action oriented approach to therapy in helping clients address and better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, and unfulfilled. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, anger, trauma, and compulsive behaviors. I also support business leaders and professional artists who grapple with fatigue, executive demands, and the toll their positions take on self identity and interpersonal relationships. Stepping into therapy for the first time or returning can feel like a challenging and exhaustive process as you search for the right fit. In therapy I provide a setting for self exploration, healing, and most importantly, a plan for action.

I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers a warm, grounded space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and create meaningful change. My style is relational and attachment-informed—meaning we pay attention to patterns that show up in relationships, and how earlier experiences may shape the way you cope, connect, or protect yourself today. I’m also strengths-based and practical: we’ll build on what’s already working while using CBT tools to reduce overwhelm, challenge unhelpful thought loops, and practice skills that support steadier mood, boundaries, and healthier relationships.

Over time, many people report improved self-compassion, stronger communication, more secure attachment in relationships, and an increased ability to tolerate difficult emotions without shutting down or spiraling.

I have been practicing for over 10 years, and it has been my passion from the beginning.

You may feel more readiness for new and harder challenges. A gentle exploration of trauma, which is all too often a major source for present distress, is part of the work.

Over 14-year of therapy, my goal is to walk alongside you as you face life's challenges, discover your strengths, and move toward real change, healing, and a greater sense of well-being.

I'm speak three languages, English, Farsi, and Pashto. Traveling throughout Europe and living in Asia and South America have enriched my understanding of the many ways our backgrounds, experiences, and life stories shape who we are. These experiences have taught me to approach each person with an open heart, genuine curiosity, and compassion for their unique journey. I bring this understanding into every session, honoring each person’s story and meeting them where they are. Clients often describe me as thoughtful, caring, creative, and reliable, with a calm and steady presence. I take a relaxed approach to therapy, and you lead the way. In our first session, we'll start with a quick hello and get to know each other. Then we'll talk about a few of the challenges you're facing. I'll ask open questions and listen closely so I can understand what matters most to you. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. Sometimes it takes a few sessions to understand what is really going on, which is usual and perfectly okay.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and understanding.

My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with their values.

Maybe you’ve done a lot of thinking about yourself or your relationships, but still find yourself falling into the same patterns, or feeling stuck in places you can’t quite explain. Maybe you’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or trying to hold everything together on your own. I work with individuals and couples who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal what’s keeping them stuck, and feel more connected to themselves and the people they love. My approach is warm, relational, and rooted in attachment. I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about getting curious about the patterns you’ve developed, understanding why certain things feel so difficult, and making sense of the experiences that shaped you. Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the ways you think, feel, and relate to others, so you can move through your life with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Hi there, I'm Leslie. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of a busy life? Maybe you feel like something is "off" that you cannot quite identify. You may feel disconnected and experience frequent low moods. You might be someone who has been diagnosed or self-identified as neurodivergent, or you may be raising a neurodivergent child and feeling lost in coping with your feelings about how to navigate that challenge. You might be stuck in (or exiting) a romantic relationship that does not serve you, but you are struggling to find your path forward. Whatever the source of your anxiety, I am here to help! I support individuals across a spectrum of ages and circumstances to understand how to find their footing in their daily lives. I use a unique person-centered behavioral approach that is affirming and includes action steps to access change. When you meet with me, you will hear "real talk" grounded in evidenced-based techniques. Together we will discover a path to a more manageable daily life that fits your specific circumstances. Congratulations on taking the step to seek support through therapy. l look forward to working together!

With over to 20 years of experience working alongside children, teens, adults, and families, I’ve learned the importance of meeting people exactly where they are, whether mentally, emotionally, or sometimes even physically. My “out-of-the-box” approach is flexible and adaptable to each individual's unique needs, offering creative, client-centered strategies where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore at your own pace. My journey began in community-based settings, working with individuals and families often navigating complex systems. That foundation shaped my core belief: to show up to each session with curiosity and deep respect for each person’s unique story. My approach has always been to meet clients where they are, helping them discover healthier coping mechanisms and become more effective in their daily lives. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session to your unique needs, integrating different modalities to support your growth in ways that feel natural and accessible to you. As your therapist, I show up as my authentic self, with the intention of creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore at your own pace. I offer an environment where you can express yourself freely, gain deeper insight into your thoughts and emotions, and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.

Understand, Reframe, and Navigate Human Behavior. Human behavior is rarely random. The way we communicate, react, withdraw, persuade, accommodate, or push back usually serves a purpose, even when the pattern is creating problems in our lives. I work with people navigating complicated relationship dynamics, particularly when boundaries, persuasion, control, or manipulation have become part of the equation. Sometimes that means recognizing how someone else’s behavior is influencing you. Other times, it means taking an honest look at patterns in your own behavior and understanding what keeps them going. You may have noticed that you’ve already considered change. Maybe you understand what you should do but find yourself responding the same way anyway. Maybe you keep giving in, questioning yourself, or getting pulled into interactions that leave you wondering what just happened. Therapy with me is about looking beneath the behavior rather than reducing it to a label. We’ll examine what drives the pattern, what it accomplishes, and how you can respond more deliberately.
