Fufan Chiang
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
To the rest of the world, you look like you have it all together—but deep down, you know you are struggling. You carry an exhausting weight of never feeling good enough, constantly pleasing others, and taking responsibility for everyone's feelings at the expense of your own boundaries. Even though you are trying your absolute best, your relationships feel strained, leaving you disconnected from your partner and completely disconnected from yourself. You can see the patterns, you understand the "why," but you just haven't been able to change it on your own. It doesn't mean there is no hope; it just means it is time for a different approach. If you are a driven professional ready to step past perfectionism, heal your nervous system, and finally feel comfortable in your own skin, relief is possible. Email me directly to schedule a session; initial consultations are not offered.

Taylor Lee
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space for clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and live more authentically.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
I am PSYPACT authorized, serving adults and couples via secure telehealth therapy across 40+ states — making expert psychological care accessible wherever you are.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Selecting a psychotherapist is an intimate and consequential decision. The work is most effective when you are able to be fully yourself—without self-editing, without judgment, and without pressure to perform. My role is to offer a calm, attuned, and intellectually rigorous space where anxiety, depression, and relational concerns can be explored with care, curiosity, and respect for your privacy.
Many of my clients seek support for chronic anxiety, emotional exhaustion, low mood, or a sense of disconnection that persists despite outward success. I approach this work collaboratively, creating a conversational and grounded therapeutic process designed to help you feel understood, regulated, and supported—particularly when navigating complex or deeply personal material.
I offer secure telehealth psychotherapy, allowing for seamless and discreet access to care from anywhere with internet access. Extensive research demonstrates that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person treatment, with increased continuity and flexibility for demanding schedules. For those who prefer in-person sessions, I also maintain a private office in West Hollywood.
When you contact my practice, you will communicate directly with me. Your care is never delegated. This structure ensures absolute discretion, continuity, and a highly individualized therapeutic experience from first contact onward.
In addition to my clinical work, I am an intimacy consultant for film and television, bringing a sophisticated understanding of relationships, emotional dynamics, and high-visibility professional environments.
My practice is intentionally small and selective, allowing me to provide focused, confidential care to individuals and couples seeking a refined, private, and deeply attentive approach to psychotherapy.

Hart Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Welcome, it’s wonderful to meet you and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you are someone who feels alone in a crowd or when asked how they are doing always says “I’m fine”, we should talk. If you feel stuck, I can help. You don't have to continue feeling isolated or that you're the only person experiencing what you are going through. Having someone to talk to about your issue can be a tremendous relief and is the first step towards healing. Change is possible and can happen for anyone. As an LCSW I look at the whole person and where they are coming from. I try to meet people where they are at and try to assist and guide them towards their goals. If you are tired of struggling alone, and of life being more difficult than it has to be, maybe you would like to meet, and we can just talk about where you are at and where you want to be.
I offer free consultations to propective clients.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression.

Dr. Bruce Pace
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you want your life to change in a meaningful way, but you need help determining and taking the individual steps required to meet your goals, therapy is an excellent choice. Many people expect therapy to involve sessions where there is emotion focused discussion and deep introspection. With a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, the emotions or feelings are secondary in the healing process. We focus on how your actions impact your circumstances, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we are likely a good fit.
I love sharing what I know so that you can feel and act better in your life. We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools. I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I also work with children and their families, especially focusing on ADHD, ODD, and anxiety. When a child is experiencing these sorts of concerns, I approach progress and resolution with the parents and child together. I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment.
I am also an expert in ADHD evaluation and treatment. I am very thorough in my reports and recommendations. Evolutionarily, ADHD is a strength, and I love helping shed light on how to best navigate this world with an eye to the strengths and available strategies and habits that can set you on a sustainable path.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.
