Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Trauma shows up in our lives in silent yet indelible ways. Whether it’s via dissociation, anger, self-isolation, or substances, we all have unique ways we learn to unconsciously protect ourselves, so that the past can never repeat; so that we can never be hurt in the same ways ever again. As such, the ghosts from our past continue to haunt us in invisible, unexpected ways. They are unfortunately too insidious to defeat by ourselves. Psychoanalytic therapy can help put these ghosts to rest once and for all. Let’s dream together of new possibilities for your future.
I am licensed in CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I love what I do, and I am committed to the health and well-being of everyone I have the privilege of supporting in psychotherapy. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".

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.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
The focus of my work is addictive and compulsive sexual activity. If you want to stop some behaviors, but cannot, I can help you. It is not about eliminating sex, but rather, helping you shift from objectified sex to more connected sex, strengthening your sense of personal integrity. The goal is a healthier and happier intimate relationship with your partner or partners. Oh, and you will be able to leave your phone, face up, anywhere without worry.
