Starting therapy takes courage.

It’s hard to push forward when you’re already exhausted. Maybe for you it’s anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a traumatic experience. Regardless, we can get stuck in the same place because the change feels impossible.

However sometimes we get a glimpse of what we wish life could be like: that we could feel confident, strong, share life vulnerably with those closest to us, make clear decisions, and manage difficult feelings well.

We have Pasadena therapists and LA therapists who can help you make that change in your life.

Our therapists practice therapy in Los Angeles and Pasadena, but can also be seen virtually throughout California. Unlike most group practices, our co-practicing community is comprised of therapists and psychologists in private practice.

This means your therapist works independently, is paid fairly, and is employed by you, rather than a group. Furthermore, your therapist has freedom from group or insurance pressures, helping them to care for your specific needs.

Above all, we know that a good match between therapist and client is the leading indicator for therapy’s success. That’s why we have a care coordinator who can match you with a therapist that works for you.

Each of our therapists are quality, caring practitioners who invest deeply in the help they provide you. We can help you find your therapist today.

How Does Therapy Help?

Therapy isn’t just a conversation—it’s a catalyst for change. Think of your mind like a seed: everything you need to grow is already within you, waiting for the right conditions. A skilled therapist doesn’t “fix” you; they help you tap into your natural capacity for strength, vulnerability, and wisdom. Here’s how therapy nurtures that growth:
  • Mending Emotional Scars. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or family, therapy offers a secure space to unpack past traumas or present struggles and start healing.
  • Building Resilience. Discover practical tools to tackle life’s ups and downs with confidence and calm.
  • Unlocking Self-Knowledge. Get a clearer view of your thoughts, feelings, and habits—insights that sharpen your decisions and fuel personal growth.
  • Strengthening Bonds. By better understanding yourself, you’ll deepen connections with others, creating healthier relationships as a couple or family.
Many of our therapists approach treatment from a psychoanalytic approach. We understand how the mind is formed by past experiences, which color the ways we think, feel, and act in our daily lives. Much of the pain we experience today has roots in the ways we first learned to experience ourselves and our world. Illuminating and changing these templates can be an incredibly rewarding and strengthening process. You have the potential within you to grow into the person you want to be —let’s help you bring it to life.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?

If you’ve been typing “in-person therapy near me” into your search bar, we have LA and Pasadena therapists, as well as welcoming office spaces for face-to-face sessions. Making the trip to see your therapist in person can be beneficial to your growth—here’s why it matters:

 

  • A Safe Space to Open Up. Therapy thrives when you feel secure enough to share freely. At home, you might worry about being overheard, but our private, consistent in-person setting lets you express yourself with confidence.
  • Real Human Connection. Nothing beats the energy of being in the same room. Like catching up with a friend, face-to-face interaction flows naturally, with no lag to throw off the vibe. Research backs this up—even a tiny 0.2-second delay on video can make reactions feel off to your brain. In person, you get your therapist’s authentic, real-time presence.
  • No Tech Glitches. The last thing you need is a frozen screen or choppy audio derailing a breakthrough moment. In-person therapy keeps the focus on you, not the Wi-Fi.
  • A Mental Reset.  Our clients say stepping into the office helps them leave work and distractions behind, making it easier to dive deep and get the most out of every session.

 

Prefer flexibility? We also offer virtual therapy through a secure, user-friendly video platform, perfect for connecting with your therapist from wherever you are. Whether in-person or online, we’re here to meet you where you need us.

No Waiting Lists

You'll talk with your therapist within a week

When you’re looking for an LA or Pasadena therapist, the last thing you want is to wait days or weeks, only to hear the therapist isn’t available to see you. Many people give up and miss out on the help they need.

We know what that feels like, and have made it our goal to connect you with a therapist that can see you within a week of reaching out. That means we’ll get back to your request within a day. Additionally, if you need help choosing a therapist, we’ll pair you with a therapist you feel good about and that’s available to see you. Our counselors in Pasadena and Los Angeles can see you for in-person or online therapy.
