Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have spent much of your life being the responsible one—balancing family expectations, caring for others, and striving to succeed while your own emotional needs went unseen. From the outside, your life may look accomplished, but inside you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly alone. You learned early on to prioritize everyone else’s well-being, often leaving little room to understand or care for yourself.

Josie Valderrama

Geared towards achieving greater balance, peace of mind and effectiveness in life. As a creative writer, I am seasoned in working with fellow creatives to support their generativity and self-acceptance. Often, my work is with alt high achievers addressing everyday anxieties as well as broader existential issues. Prior sojourns in Dotcom era tech, journalism and the entertainment industry inform my real-world perspective. Well-traveled, bohemian, intellectual and transpersonal within the therapeutic milieu, I collaborate with clients in both practical and transcendent processes.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me are thoughtful and capable adults who are accustomed to managing a lot of responsibility. On the surface they appear successful and composed, yet internally they may feel anxious, burned out, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense.
My work focuses on trauma, chronic stress, and the ways the nervous system adapts to long periods of pressure. I integrate EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and mind body approaches to support individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma patterns, and chronic pain or illness.
Therapy with me offers a space to slow down and understand what your system has been carrying for a long time. When these patterns begin to shift, people often experience greater clarity, steadiness, and freedom in how they move through their lives.
I offer in person therapy in West Los Angeles and secure online therapy throughout California.
