Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change.
Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

Kailey Hockridge
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM, LPCC
I've found that the ways we move through the world are often reflective of how we've learned to survive and do the best we can. But if you'd like to cope differently, or feel that the way you're showing up in your life and relationships isn't serving you anymore, I'm here to walk alongside you as you explore new ways of being.

Sage Grazer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You may look like you have it together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or constantly questioning yourself. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship stress, or feeling emotionally exhausted despite appearing capable to others. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping you better understand the deeper patterns behind your struggles while also giving you concrete tools to create meaningful change and feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life.

Sean Sprigle
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Before I was a therapist I was a client just like yourself. I struggled with many issues over the years and overcome most of them since becoming a therapist. Because of this I find that I usually have personal experience with at least an aspect of what my client is dealing with. My clients generally find me to be compassionate, knowledgeable, non-judge mental, and easy to connect with.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Let's work through this together.
If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, and disconnected, and your current way of living feels off course, my therapeutic approach can provide the support you need. Much of our distress originates from deeply rooted, uncontrollable negative thoughts about ourselves and the world, embedded during our upbringing. Often, we remain unaware of what keeps us stuck, making it challenging to find a way out.
I've been fortunate to assist numerous individuals whose lives felt unsustainable and unfulfilling, guiding them to uncover their truest, most vibrant selves. This process is not about making minor adjustments; it's about profound transformation. The life you desire is closer than you realize, but the path to it isn’t always clear when traveled alone.
Together, we will explore evidence-based techniques, enriched with the wisdom of philosophy, the tranquility of Buddhism, the strength of Stoicism, the practice of Mindfulness, and the insights of the mind-body connection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This isn’t just about self-improvement; it’s a deep awakening, liberating you from the negative thoughts and emotions that have held you back."

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a practicing psychotherapist in the San Francisco bay area since 1998. I am very experienced in helping adults navigate OCD, anxiety, job stress, burnout, trauma, addictive behaviors and relationship distress. I combine thoughtful depth work with practical tools for a scientifically informed, skillful, intelligent approach. I use effective tools such as EMDR, exposure and response prevention (E&RP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotion focused therapy for couples (EFT) to support you through the difficulties you are navigating. Collaborating with an experienced psychologist can be a game changer. It can dramatically reduce suffering, create clarity and build a tool box specifically tailored to help you thrive through any challenge. My professional expertise is enhanced by my personal experience as a working mother, advocate for neurodiverse children, and long term relationship partner of 20+ years.

Arazeli Wagner
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Many people seek therapy because they feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or caught in relationship patterns they don’t fully understand. Anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional reactivity often have deeper roots than what’s happening in the present moment. I work with adults who want to understand these patterns with compassion and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

Dr. Maxwell Rappoport
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that step feel safe, supportive, and worthwhile. I’m a clinical psychologist who believes the best progress happens when therapy feels like a productive relationship—built on trust, openness, and collaboration. I bring creativity, empathy, and a down-to-earth style to our work, tailoring each session to fit who you are and what you need most.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease with me quickly, which makes it easier to explore challenges honestly and discover new ways forward. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, want to perform better, or are just feeling stuck, I’ll work with you to create a personalized plan that helps you gain clarity, confidence, and momentum in your life.
If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, adapts flexibly, and partners with you every step of the way, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD providing therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples in California and Oregon. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel understood rather than judged, and where difficult emotions and experiences can be explored openly and thoughtfully.
I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I also have experience working with pastors, ministry leaders, and clients seeking therapy that thoughtfully integrates Christian faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process when desired.
I believe therapy is most effective when it helps people move beyond surface-level coping and toward deeper self-understanding, emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of meaning and direction in life.

Young people deserve therapists who understand that adolescence isn't a problem to solve, but a profound developmental stage that requires specialized knowledge and genuine respect. At Iris, our role is to provide clinical expertise, developmental understanding, and trusted relationships so they can access their own wisdom. We offer both practical skill-building and deeper therapeutic work to understand the patterns and meanings that shape relationships and sense of self. We believe families are systems: when one person heals, everyone benefits.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Therapy is a place to talk through what’s been weighing on you and start to understand it a little better. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can be hard to sort it out on your own.
In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you’re going through and finding ways to move forward that actually feel doable. I use approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed therapy, but just as important is having a space where you can be open and feel understood.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. We can take it one step at a time and go from there.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!

Jillian Luz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, ATR
I work from a non-pathologizing lens and strive to support my clients in exploring what past or current traumatic experiences, including personal/specific, cultural, and systemic, may be currently impacting their self-view and functioning.
I offer EMDR and IFS treatment to support processing past trauma (including chronic, relational, and childhood traumas) and grief & loss that may be causing current distress, unhappiness, relationship challenges, negative beliefs about one's self or abilities, and a lack of personal fulfillment. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, especially late/adult diagnosis.

Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
