Los Angeles, CA - Accepting clients in CA

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.

Hello, I’m DeAndra. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in your relationships, navigating identity shifts, or wrestling with anxiety about the future—you’re not alone. Life’s transitions can be disorienting, even when they seem “normal” on the outside. Whether you’re stepping into a new role (like becoming a parent or professional), redefining your sense of self, or simply trying to manage the demands of everyday life, therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with clarity, calm, and confidence. In our work together, I offer a supportive space to explore your inner world, unpack the narratives that shape your life, and develop tools that feel true to you. I believe in the healing power of storytelling, deep reflection, and intentional action. Together, we’ll examine the patterns, beliefs, and lived experiences that have shaped you—and make room for new ways of thinking, relating, and thriving.

Long Beach, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Hello! I'm Amber, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been in the field of psychotherapy for 20 years and have the honor of working with many indivudals experiencing many different situations. My theories of choice are Psychodynamic and CBT, however, I use a whatever-it-takes approach with clients to help them think, feel and do their best. Depression, anxiety and substance abuse/misuse are the areas I have concentrated on for the past 10 years. My skills include empathy, compassion and I also find, a good dose of humor goes a long way toward healing. Together we will find a way to help that will work best for you.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. I hold a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Seminary’s Graduate School of Psychology and a Doctorate in Leadership from Evangel University. Since 1994, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside women as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Specializing in women’s issues has been a deeply meaningful focus of my work, and I consider it an honor to be entrusted with my clients’ stories. Rooted in my Christian faith, my approach is grounded in both compassion and clinical excellence. I strive to provide care that is evidence-based, ethical, spiritually sensitive, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a university professor, where I have the joy of teaching, training, and supervising graduate students on their path to becoming licensed therapists.
