Therapeutic Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

About

My main priority as a clinician is building trust and creating a safe space for my patients. I use a strengths-based approach to help reflect my patients’ skills and a person-centered approach to explore your past that led you to who you are and help build toward self-compassion and self-love. I help with dysfunctional family dynamics, life changes, self-esteem, and codependent relationships. I have always wanted to work in mental health because I believe that everyone needs to be seen and heard. I enjoy reading, watching TV, and spending time with my family, friends, and dog, Willa.

About

Laura has over seven years of experience providing mental health care. Her patient-centered approach ensures that treatment is structured and adaptable to each individual’s needs. While she provides guidance and support, she prioritizes meeting patients where they are in their journey. If a patient feels ambivalent about change, Laura works collaboratively with them to explore barriers and identify achievable, sustainable steps forward. Understanding where a patient is emotionally and mentally allows her to offer the right support and encouragement to create meaningful progress. 

Laura was inspired to pursue mental health work through her own experiences with intergenerational stress. She has witnessed firsthand how limited access to mental health services and societal pressure to manage stress independently can impact family relationships. Laura believes in empowering individuals to take an active role in their mental health, ultimately improving well-being at both personal and community levels. She has experience in school-based programs and private practice.

About

Ellie’s clinical approach is trauma-informed, relational and centered in critical, liberatory, anti-racist philosophies and disability justice praxis. She considers the whole person within the many systems of power that can make us sick as well as the cultures and relationships that heal us. Within a holistic lens, Ellie uses narrative therapy, internal family systems, and somatic techniques. Her strengths are interpersonal warmth, humor, flexibility, spirituality, and creativity. A lifelong learner, she is always eager and willing to learn new therapeutic techniques.

Ellie’s first experience in mental health was working as a volunteer art teacher at a homeless shelter in L.A. She was deeply inspired by the resilience of the skid row community, which eventually led her to housing justice work and wraparound case management. Prior to earning her MSW, Ellie considered teaching as a profession but soon discovered her true passion was supporting students’ emotional and social learning. As a queer therapist, she especially values working with LGBTQIA+ young adults. Outside of work, Ellie enjoys writing, making music, and swimming.

Additional treatment areas and modalities: academic issues; self-esteem; self-harm; sexual assault; technology addiction; solution-focused; attachment-focused
