Hi! Thank you for considering me to be your therapist! I really enjoy helping my clients meet their goals. I'm an experienced therapist who is kind, creative, non judgmental and resourceful. I'm an LPCC and an art therapist and I am trained in EMDR. Most of my clients are coming to me to work on feeling less anxious, shift negative thought patterns, tackle rumination, overcome depression or learn how to navigate symptoms of ADHD. I'm a fellow ADHDer and have extensive training in all things neurodivergence including RSD, PDA, burnout, executive functioning skills and common co-occuring medical issues.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me have spent years holding everything together. They are thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring. Other people depend on them. From the outside, their lives often look successful. Inside, they are anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering why they cannot seem to relax, even when life is going well.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain and illness, addiction, and the long term effects of living in survival mode. My approach integrates EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to help address both the emotional and physical effects of trauma and chronic stress.
Therapy offers the opportunity to understand the patterns that developed for good reasons, while creating new experiences that allow those patterns to begin changing. I provide secure online therapy throughout California and in person in West Los Angeles.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!
