Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
I believe that even in the middle of a crisis, there is a real opportunity for profound growth. My path to understanding the human condition began in the theater and the study of Method Acting, where I learned to look beneath the surface to explore how internal experience drives outward behavior. This "inside-out" perspective remains central to my work: helping you align your internal reality with your external actions.
Over my 20-year career, my approach has continually evolved. After graduating from top universities and training programs, I was mentored by leading experts in trauma, addictions, and relationship dynamics. This foundation led me to establish a successful group practice in Orange County, teach psychology at UC Irvine, and serve on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the Professional Practice Committee for the Orange County Psychological Association.
However, my career is only part of the story. In the midst of professional achievement, I navigated a deep personal crisis and divorce that transformed my understanding of therapy. This led me on my own journey of growth—including seven years living in Asia, studying with Buddhist monks, and caring for local villagers.
What I offer today is an integration of rigorous academic training and Eastern wisdom. My decision to practice psychology grows from a sincere desire to relieve suffering and transform life's hardships into catalysts for self-actualization. I combine empirical psychological methods with the cultivation of an "awakened heart"—a state of genuine presence, nervous system regulation, and deep connection to what matters most.
What to Expect in Our First Session
Our first meeting is about more than cataloging problems; it is an opportunity to assess the "internal climate" of your life. Together, we will examine the patterns that are no longer serving you, identify where old narratives or high-pressure reactions have you "hooked," and see what is holding you back from living authentically.
I believe therapy should offer a shift in perspective from the very first hour. You will leave our initial session with practical, evidence-based tools designed to settle your "biological alarm" and transition your nervous system from a state of defense to one of openness and flexibility. By the end of our first meeting, we will begin clarifying a personalized roadmap for long-term change, leaving you with immediate skills to start shifting your life from day one.
Core Strengths & Therapeutic Philosophy
A Life Dedicated to Inner Work: I don't ask you to do work I haven't done myself. My insights stem from extensive clinical training, decades of deep meditation, and navigating my own pivotal life transitions. I bring a perspective that is both seasoned and deeply empathetic.
Creating a Foundation of Safety: True change requires safety. By blending a warm, collaborative connection with a structured success plan, I help you settle constant internal alarm systems, moving you from the exhaustion of perpetual "doing" into a grounded state of "being."
Moving Toward What Truly Matters: I help you spot the cycle of avoidance—the habits we build to run away from pain or fear—and redirect your energy toward positive growth, core values, and meaningful action.
A Strategic, Personal Roadmap: I reject one-size-fits-all, standardized protocols. By strategically blending evidence-based practices (CBT, ACT, Clinical Hypnosis, Imago, and Structural Family concepts) with Eastern principles, we build a customized success plan designed specifically for your life.
Who I Work Best With
I specialize in working with adults and professionals who feel stuck at a critical crossroads—whether navigating a major life or career transition, relationship strain, burnout, trauma, or a recurring pattern they are ready to break.
My clients appreciate insight, structure, and forward movement. They want more than a space to vent; they are ready to understand themselves deeply and take concrete steps toward lasting change.

Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Relationships take a lot of work and sometimes can use a little bit of help or third party perspective. Within my experience and professional practice I have helped many couples overcome various topics and issues including "burn out" with falling out of love or passion, communication issues, infidelity, trust issues, and intimacy issues. If you feel your relationship can use a bit of a tune up and support, please continue reading and contact me.
I also specialize in working with individuals with chronic illness support. With my own experience of receiving a lifelong diagnosis at an early age, I have learned effective copping and adjustment strategies to help support with chronic conditions.

Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in your relationships or personal life can be difficult to navigate alone. As a therapist specializing in men’s therapy in Los Angeles, I’ve spent more than 20 years helping men, individuals, couples, and professionals better understand themselves, work through challenges, and build greater confidence, connection, and fulfillment.
My work in men’s therapy focuses on relationships, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, communication, emotional vulnerability, and the pressures men often carry in their personal and professional lives. I also work closely with high-functioning professionals who may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, or a sense that something is missing.
In addition to men’s counseling, I provide individual therapy and couples counseling in West Los Angeles, helping people navigate relationship patterns, improve communication, work through conflict, and develop healthier, more meaningful connections.
I'm also the author of Grounded Openness, a book exploring attachment, relationships, and how we can become more emotionally available without losing our sense of self. These ideas are an important part of my work, helping clients better understand how past experiences and relationship patterns influence their lives today.
My approach is warm, genuine, practical, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can speak openly, feel understood, and gain meaningful insight without judgment. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking to grow, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I offer in-person therapy in West Los Angeles and online therapy throughout California. If you're considering therapy and wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a complimentary 10–15 minute introductory call.
