Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me are thoughtful, capable adults who are used to managing a great deal 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.

Kailey Hockridge
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM, LPCC
I've found that the ways we move through the world are often reflective of how we've learned to survive and do the best we can. But if you'd like to cope differently, or feel that the way you're showing up in your life and relationships isn't serving you anymore, I'm here to walk alongside you as you explore new ways of being.

Dr. Stefanie Tweedly
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My goal is to help individuals move toward better being; to grow and be healthier. To this end, I assist individuals in improving their emotional well-being through warm, genuine, non-judgmental exploration of their experiences. In this exploration, I work with the individual in a collaborative process to guide them to heal their core wounds and struggles. This process not only helps improve current symptoms and distress, but also provides the individual with skills that help them navigate future challenges.
In addition to using more traditional therapeutic interventions, I also incorporate a holistic approach; generally in considering all aspects of the individual, including mind, body, and spirit, and specifically in using interventions such as mindfulness, meditation, body awareness work, and yoga.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.
