Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and connected in your relationships, in your body, and in your sense of self. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, sexual challenges, cultural expectations, or past trauma, therapy can be a powerful space for healing and growth. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and help them move toward deeper intimacy, emotional clarity, and self-trust.
My approach integrates trauma-informed care with a deep respect for culture, identity, and lived experience. As an Armenian therapist, I understand the weight of generational patterns, unspoken family rules, and the tension between tradition and individuality. If you come from a background or a culture where emotions or sexuality are hard to talk about, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone.
You bring the strength. I bring the tools. Together, we can create space for you to reclaim your voice, your relationships, and your sense of wholeness.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

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.
