Narrative
Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
I work with adults and teens 16+ navigating some of life's most challenging moments — and with women in their 40s and beyond who are reimagining who they are and what they want. Whether you're facing midlife transitions, an empty nest, the weight of caregiving, or simply asking who am I now? — I bring both clinical training and lived experience to that conversation.
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. Drawing on family systems, attachment, psychodynamic, narrative, Gestalt, CBT, and trauma-informed frameworks, I work from the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Together, we'll find the lens and tools that fit your life and your needs.
I bring warmth, directness, and humor to the work — because sometimes the most healing moments happen when you find yourself laughing through the tears. I am not an expert in your life. You are. I'm here to collaborate with you, and to help you untangle what's keeping you stuck so you can feel more hopeful, more grounded, and more alive.

Karina Rivera
Pre-Licensed Professional, APCC 14780, supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300
You're holding a lot. The worry, the grief, the sense that you should have it figured out by now. Sessions with me are honest, unhurried, and surprisingly easy to talk through. We go at your pace. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can see if we are a good fit before committing to anything.

Amanda Hagos, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PPSC
Finding a therapist that is the right fit can be hard. I partner with families to support their children and young adults through challenging times. With a focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and disordered eating, I support you or your family in developing resiliency and thriving. By partnering with families, I believe that we can work together to support your child in overcoming struggles and develop a resiliency that can benefit them the rest of their lives. I am strength-based, trauma informed, anti-racist, ally to LGBTQ+ community and Health at Every Size aligned.
I specialize in working with kids and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression or disordered eating and partner with the family to support the client in reaching their therapeutic goals.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hi! My name is Omer and I'm a licensed therapist based in LA. My expertise is in supporting my clients understand themselves on a deeper level, recover from trauma, foster joy and improve relationships. Together, we’ll build awareness around anxieties, fears, triggers, or conflicts that get in the way of connection with others. We’ll work to identify your needs and further develop skills to communicate them. We'll spend time calling attention to beliefs, behaviors, "shoulds" and narratives that might no longer serve you. My approach to therapy is integrative and rooted in a relational lens, focusing on attachments, dynamics, and narratives. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, men, creative professionals, and people facing life transitions such as coming out, starting a new career, or entering parenthood.
