Hello, my name is Cheryl Babb and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCS27383).
Change is hard. Asking for help is hard. Transformation is worth it!
Therapy is about relationships - and about helping you to uncover your internal processes and patterns to understand how you relate to yourself and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to collaborate with you to meet your goals.
I have a warm, supportive style with a healthy dose of directness, swearing and humor. You will be accepted as an extraordinary individual with unique experiences and strengths that will guide the change process. Real change happens when we accept and honor ourselves as we are right now. I will challenge your current narratives so that you can discover new ways of showing up in your life as the one and only you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that whole heartedly believes in my professional ethic of the right to self determination. I believe we should all strive to live the life that suits us as individuals. I have spent years in the entertainment industry first as a performer then behind the scenes. I have worked with multiple artists and creative types and I really enjoy thinking outside of the box. I enjoy the outsiders, the rebels, the straight shooters. I am a working mother and I have experienced my share of heartache.

My skills and experience have allowed me to deal with various diverse cultures who are reluctant to seek treatment due to stigma. Having been raised as Armenian and Greek, I have experienced the multicultural and societal pressures firsthand. In the face of a person experiencing a challenging life event , even the most competent person may need extra support or guidance. Everyone has problems and there is no shame in seeking help. It is my goal to create a safe Christ Centered environment for you to navigate through issues of acculturation, emotional scars from the past that prevents you from pursuing Gods purposes.
For the past 14 years I have dedicated my life to improving the psychological health of families including adults, adolescents and children in the Greater Los Angeles Area. My expertise is with children, adolescents, adults , couples and families who present with various mental disorders (i.e., mood, anxiety; behavioral), addiction and history of trauma.
My strengths are my ability to transcend into my clients world without any bias or discrimination using my own testimony as empowerment. It is in the authentic therapeutic-client relationship that change occurs as one is guided to self reflect and explore. I am certified in multiple evidenced practices such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Hi there, my name is Arielle Penn and I have been a licensed clinician for over 30 years, specializing in mental health issues of women. If you are looking for a therapist who is authentic and skilled, I am your person. Many certifications.
WOMEN FACE MANY ISSUES DAILY AND IF ANY OF THIS RESONATES WITH YOU, I THINK WE WOULD BE A GREAT FIT:
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, raising kids and your health?
Are you a PERFECTIONIST ? and nothing is as good as it should be? Do you demand to much of yourself and of others?
Do you have difficulties relinquishing CONTROL?
Are you in a same-sex relationship and struggling with families or others?
Do you find yourself struggling with being discriminated in the work arena or are you dissatisfied with your CAREER?
Is MENOPAUSE. playing havoc with your body?
Have you been cheated on in your relationship and keep choosing unhealthy patterns? TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
Are old patterns and behaviors being replayed from past trauma?
Do you find yourself struggling to stay afloat?
Are you having difficulty getting your teens off the internet?
My clientele is fairly high-functioning women who are struggling to get it all done or feel that they have done everything right ( gone to college, married the ideal husband, live in the right neighborhood, and have risen up the corporate ladder but feel
discontentment in their life. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I start where you are and look at you as a whole person.
In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.
