Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Santa Monica, California therapist: Daniel Lazar, marriage and family therapist

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
I believe people with anger issues deserve empathy. Because their anger isn't about whatever set them off. It's about something deeper -- forceful emotions like fear, grief, and PTSD. I know this because I used to struggle with my own anger issues. Then I went to therapy. With some hard work, I finally learned to manage my temper, communicate more effectively, and repair relationships. Was anger therapy a cure-all? Of course not. But it gave me the insights and skillset I needed to keep my anger in place. And that's what I want for you. Together, as partners, we build the wisdom, skills, and perseverance to get your anger back where it belongs. It's a challenging journey. And I stand by you shoulder-to-shoulder until the end.

You're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and drained by the pressures and demands placed on you. You try to make others happy and work as hard as you can, yet you never feel like it's good enough. You never feel "good enough" and you are reminded of that daily. You feel disconnected from your own life and trapped in a cycle of anxiety that can leave you feeling like you're watching your life from the outside, unable to reach in and make a change. In your relationships, this gap widens, leaving you longing for a deeper bond. Yet, as you try to analyze and solve these feelings as if they were mere problems, the solutions become more elusive.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, marriage and family therapist
Narrative

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent. I’ve been there. Therapy is a resource that helped me feel less alone as I navigated the immense changes that came with becoming a parent. I’m a queer, neurodivergent mother of twins and my lived experience with perinatal loss, birth trauma, NICU parenting, being postpartum in 2020, and perinatal mental health disorders drew me to this work.
