Union City, California therapist: Elena Duong, psychologist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Elena Duong

Psychologist, Psy.D.
You might be here because you’ve been called “too sensitive,” feel easily overwhelmed, or aren’t sure where you fit—especially as someone who is queer and/or asexual. You’re seeking connection with people who “get it” and a therapist who doesn’t need you to explain your culture, sensitivity, or identity just to be understood. As a Highly Sensitive therapist, I enjoy working with asexual, gray‑ace, demisexual, questioning folks, and sensitive introverts. My style is warm, collaborative, and validating. In our work, we’ll create a gentler space, where your boundaries are honored, your quirks are welcomed, and you’re treated as enough exactly as you are.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Timothy Weymann, licensed clinical social worker
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

Timothy Weymann

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
What makes my therapy practice exceptional is the balance I bring between heart and science. I don’t believe therapy should feel clinical or distant—it should feel human. I create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and respected, while also drawing from research-based approaches that are proven to create meaningful change. I am intentional about building genuine relationships, because I know healing happens in connection. At the same time, I stay grounded in evidence-informed methods so our work is focused, practical, and effective. My clients aren’t just supported—they’re empowered. They leave with insight, tools, and a stronger sense of themselves. Part of what makes my practice great is that it is not one-size-fits-all. It’s thoughtful, compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Elaine Skoulas, marriage and family therapist
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

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.
