Molly Schmidt
Therapist
I am passionate about helping people step more into their true essence. I help adults navigate the mountains and valleys of life by exploring what brings them into a state of aliveness. We explore past traumas and limiting beliefs by inviting all the inner ‘parts’ to come forward and be heard. Through exploring one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual world, we work to bring greater awareness to what is holding them back from living their most authentic and fulfilling life.
I lead with compassion, authenticity, and curiosity in session. My approach weaves together these healing modalities to effectively address the mind, body, and soul. Healing is complex and non-linear, which is why I bring patience, acceptance and curiosity to sessions as we traverse these landscapes together. I believe we are always moving towards greater wholeness and we all already hold the wisdom within that is needed for change. Sometimes we just need the presence of a compassionate witness to undertake the journey.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I am a somatic psychotherapist and approach therapy holistically, focusing on the mind-body-spirit. My background and training is in early childhood development, mindfulness and meditation practices, and somatic psychology. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with the body and what is coming up in the present moment using body-oriented techniques and mindfulness. I also use ancient yogic practices and approach healing considering your subtle body energy system if you are interested (e.g. chakra health, breathing techniques, movement, etc).

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
I believe therapy can be deeply transformative, and that healing is possible at any point in life. My practice focuses on trauma therapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and support for chronic pain and anxiety.
Therapy with me is a space where sensitivity is honored rather than dismissed, and where the tender parts of you that have felt overlooked can finally be welcomed. You are invited into a space that feels safe enough to let go of the pressure to hold it all together and begin imagining new ways of living that feel more authentic, grounded, and free.
Sessions are available in person in West Los Angeles and through secure online therapy across California.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist, CHT
Have you ever come out of a therapy session feeling like all you’ve done is talk yourself in circles without getting any deeper? If so, you're not alone. Most of my clients come to me because they've already 'done the work' of therapy, but it feels like there's another layer they just can't reach by talking alone. This is why hypnotherapy can be an amazing new direction, because it helps you go beyond your conscious mind and into the spaces where real change can finally happen. I offer hypnotherapy and coaching for sensitive, thoughtful people who are often seekers at heart. Together, we can find a path through some of life’s hardest moments: anxiety and trauma, chronic illness, relationship challenges, infertility, career transitions and more.
