Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California (USC). As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and inclusive space where individuals from diverse backgrounds feel heard, valued, and respected. My approach is rooted in cultural competence, recognizing and honoring the unique experiences and perspectives each client brings to the therapeutic relationship.

I am a helper. And I help people who are currently struggling with depressive, anxious, and other mental illness-related symptoms. I help them expand their mindfulness, improve their assertive communication skills, and view themselves, and, consequently, the rest of the world, as living beings worthy of love and respect. I don't merely believe in therapy, I know first-hand the beneficial power it can provide. Before seeking mental health services for myself, not only did I suffer from low self-esteem and other depressive symptoms, I also suffered from severely disturbing panic attacks. I am grateful each and every day that I no longer suffer from those symptoms. This is just one of many reasons why mental health is the greatest passion of my life.

I bring many years of life experience to my work as a therapist: Knowing the pain and difficulties of maintaining a relationship, working on a career path that sometimes frustrates us, experiencing the stuck feeling of anxiety or depression, feeling the loss of a loved one, speaking different languages and understanding cross-cultural issues, wanting more out of life without knowing exactly what that is. I worked in a lot of different fields - along with my work as a psychotherapist.

Hi There. My name is Mimi. I am a licensed Psychotherapist. I am here to help you grow, identify and resolve emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing you from achieving the quality of life you deserve and desire. My integrative approach to therapy combines a variety of techniques to accommodate different individual needs to assist you in making choices that will help you achieve a fuller and happier life in a non judgmental, compassionate, warm, and safe environment where you will be heard and accepted. You may feel lost, empty, anxious, alone, with no place to turn to, but as we work together, I will lead you to explore those wounds and emotions that are creating the pain you feel. Clinging to old patterns and emotions is familiar and safe, but it does not serve us well. However, as we walk together, your life will begin to have the purpose you are seeking and deserve as you let go of old emotions and experiences. Taking the first step to self understanding can be intimidating and it takes courage to embark on a journey for change where you will be in control of your life and to all issues overwhelming you with anxious feelings and overwhelming thoughts. You are not alone, you can do it, and I will support you all the way as we work together!

I help manage the depressions or anxieties that come with life, cope with a crisis, or move into the growth and evolvment that are ours to have. I practice tele-therapy daily. If you see an open slot you are welcome to take it without any advance notice. Thank you, Dr. Robert Lusson

My passion is helping people heal from past trauma or unresolved issues, navigate life's challenges, and heal from the past and move toward a healthier future. As a Christian therapist, I provide support to help clients explore crises of faith due to past trauma or other spiritual issues by integrating faith-based principles upon the client's request, which can foster personal and spiritual growth.

I provide direct, compassionate care with the goal of helping you to find clarity, build practical coping strategies, and confront difficult topics while honoring your experiences.

As a Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for 45+ years, I am experienced in helping my clients deal with issues such as Loss and Grief Recovery, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Crisis Counseling, Stress Reduction, Depression and Anxiety. I provide a calm, empathetic, and nurturing environment where you will feel heard, and most importantly, understood. Together we will work on ways to help you understand your feelings and compulsions. My grieving clients experience closure through writing letters to their loved ones who have died. This letter writing is effective for all forms of loss. Reading the letters aloud is very healing as it encourages acceptance, and permits moving on to build a life filled with love and laughter. I've dealt with my own grief, loss and growth by writing a book series, "The Adventures of the Angel Oleo," as well as "The Dog Bible for Humans - Advice from Dogs to Humans of All Ages." I hope you have an opportunity to read one of my books and that I get to help you, and someone you know.

Hello! I am a Los Angeles based psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, collaborative, culturally inclusive, nonjudgmental, LGBTQ+ affirmative and trauma-informed. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic therapies to address a variety of problems including depression, interpersonal conflicts, difficulty with intimacy and relatedness, self-destructive or self-sabotaging behaviors, repeating painful life problems with little sense of control, life adjustments and transitions, grief and loss, and anxiety disorders. I welcome explorations of the intersectional impact of race, class, gender and sexuality on mental health. As a cancer survivor I am especially interested in the relationship between physical and mental health and supporting those living with chronic health conditions. As a lifelong learner, my recent areas of interest include sports and performance psychology. I completed a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University, a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley, and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from The New School. I have specialized training and experience treating Post Traumatic Stress in military veterans and survivors of sexual abuse. In addition to my work as a therapist I provide training and clinical supervision at nonprofit housing programs in Los Angeles. I have served as a field instructor for social work graduate students from Cal State LA and USC.

I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working primarily with children, teens, and young adults through a wide range of challenges. My specializations include working with individuals experiencing issues related to self-esteem, mild depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Additionally, I have substantial experience in addressing concerns stemming from traumatic experiences, having received training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Moreover, I proudly identify as a clinician of color, specifically of Asian Pacific Islander heritage, and I am committed to offering therapy and access to individuals from diverse backgrounds. I hold a BA in Psychology from Dominican University of California, an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco, and a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

I have worked in various environments, which have included community mental health and medical settings. Throughout my time as a clinician, I have provided services to individuals, couples and families. My cultural background as well as my personal experiences have given me an awareness and a sensitivity to the vast cultural and social identities that exist. I am committed to leading with warmth, empathy, and a fundamental curiosity that reserves assumptions.

Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+, adults, couples, and families. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well.

You are here for that sense of belonging & connection, especially when multiple global crises have left communities hopeless, and in a constant state of vigilance. While some anxiety/depression is a normal response to the hyper-violence we are facing as a collective (on screens or in reality), it can feel extremely overwhelming to experience this every day, on top of expectations from work, family, and other relationships. As a child of the Lao Isaan/Southeast Asian diaspora, my passion is working with fellow children of refugee/immigrant diasporas to feel seen + heard + validated through an anti-oppressive framework.

Have you been managing a chronic illness on your own and feel exhausted and in need of some support? Did you also experience medical PTSD? Are you struggling with substance abuse and feel the time has come to re-evaluate its role in your life? As a woman, are the daily challenges of life starting to feel overwhelming? If you are experiencing anxiety, are you ready to let that go and explore a world of more peace and less fear? I empower people to build a life that holds meaning and purpose regardless of past setbacks and negative experiences. Together we will work to identify and overcome challenges that are specific to you. I love asking the right questions to help change the way you are thinking about a problem. It’s important to me that we work together, through talk therapy, to get to the heart of your pain and resolve it so that you can move forward.

Families often come to seek more information on how to establish and produce healthier habits that benefit their well-being and self-esteem.

Thank you for visiting our group practice page, No Limit Trauma Specialty Group. We appreciate you in advance for taking interest in our supportive services. I am Christine, owner and lead clinician of our practice. I am a licensed clinical social worker that specializes in treating trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, integrative medicine, and other modes of therapy that support each individual in reconnecting with the loving person within. Aside from my personal and familial experiences with mental health, I have worked in the mental health field for 16 years, have had the pleasure of working in various settings with client's of all ages at different stages of life. Through all of my experiences working with client's, the one commonality I have observed amongst them all has been the need to address unresolved past pain that seems to continuously show up in the present day for people, causing disfunction, a lack of self love, and unending unhappiness. I am not a healer, I am simply a person who supports people to discover their own power, inner wisdom and strengths. I help people get the barriers out of the way so that they can love themselves no matter what their pain or circumstances may be. I utilize a humanistic approach (striving to help people uncover, address, reprocess, and heal from their trauma to meet their highest protentional); while seeing healing through a holistic lens (working to help individuals heal by reconnecting mind, body and spirit). If you are ready to heal the wounded inner child, who we like to call "the little", our supportive services may be the best fit for you. To ensure we are a good fit, we require a consultation call prior to finalizing appointments. We look forward to connecting with you and discovering your needs. ​

Hi, I'm Dr. Alysha! Are you ready to Empower your Mental Health? By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change. When we internalize or suppress our emotions and experiences of adversity, we may be faced with lasting emotional trauma that impacts our entire well-being. However there is power in validation and relatability and that is why I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based method, with consideration for relational, intersectional, and social justice contexts. I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead, I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself. My objective is for you to feel empowered by reducing emotional burdens, developing coping strategies, identifying resources, and enhancing your strengths. You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance.
