Studio City, California therapist: Dr. Mazmanyan and Associates, psychologist
MI

Dr. Mazmanyan and Associates

Psychologist, Ph.D
Struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed? You don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dr. Mazmanyan & Associates, we provide attachment-based and relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. We believe emotional healing and a sense of self develop through relationships and are shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural contexts. Therapy focuses on understanding how these patterns formed, honoring how they once served a purpose, and gently reshaping them to better support current relationships, emotional well-being, and self-trust.

I am available for secure, telehealth sessions M-W. Many of my clients are working professionals who need the flexibility of online sessions.

You're not a failure... you're just EXHAUSTED. Let me help you figure out where to go from here.
