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.

Dallas, Texas therapist: Phillip McCulley, marriage and family therapist
MI

Phillip McCulley

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals and couples who prefer the flexibility of meeting remotely. Online therapy allows us to do meaningful, effective work together while reducing barriers like travel time, busy schedules, or geographic location. This can be especially important for clients seeking sex therapy, sex addiction therapy, or LGBTQ+ affirming care, which may not be readily available in more rural areas of Texas and California. I strive to create the same sense of connection, safety, and presence in online sessions as I do in person. For many clients, meeting from their own space helps them feel more comfortable and engaged, making it easier to stay consistent and focused on the work we’re doing together.

San Luis Obispo, California therapist: Liza Roth, MA, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
MI

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I am available for secure, telehealth sessions M-W. Many of my clients are working professionals who need the flexibility of online sessions. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in Bay Area tech finance for 20 years. I know firsthand the intense pressure, insane pace, and subsequent burnout of working in tech companies. Being high functioning only lasts for so long before your physical and mental health suffer, and you're left wondering why you just can't "get it together" anymore. You're not a failure... you're just EXHAUSTED. Let me help you figure out where to go from here.

Major life stressors often trigger flare-ups of mental health challenges. Are you feeling disconnected from friends, or working a job you don't love? Have you felt unlike yourself lately? Irritable, unmotivated, and detached? Worried about letting others down? Not looking forward to anything? Maybe you're feeling guilty for procrastinating? Finding it tough to relax or sleep restfully? Is your inner critic getting louder? Do you keep wondering if you're doing enough, are loved enough, or will ever be good enough? What if the links between trauma and achievement are playing out for you? Life is tough, and so are you.
