Psychodynamic Therapy
Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

I very much feel therapy is about my clients journey and I like to help assist their heeling in the most prudent fashion. I have a very direct, but empathetic and compassionate approach.

I understand that every situation is unique, and taking the next step can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your needs and work toward meaningful solutions together. If you feel ready to take that first step, I’m here to listen and walk with you on your journey toward positive change.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic human relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Alan Hanft
Psychiatrist, M.D.
I’m a board certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and also a board certified Adult Psychiatrist, seeing young children, teenagers, and adults. In general, my approach is to listen carefully, empathetically, to try to understand your situation as well, thoroughly as possible, and then work with you to develop a safe and effective treatment plan in a supportive environment. I believe a comprehensive plan is best, and not to rely solely on medications, although medications can certainly be very helpful in many situations. The goal is to help you with your problems, relieve distress, and thus improve your quality of life.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
I most often support sensitive, empathic people who are often used to being the “go-to” person for others, yet feel overwhelmed and depleted themselves. If you’re ready to begin working toward making shifts in life, but it feels like a lot, I’ll provide a warm, supportive, non-judgemental space where you feel understood, and where you can feel comfortable identifying and working on your goals, to move toward a life that you love.
I offer online therapy for people throughout California and Maryland. Contact me for a free consultation call to have your questions answered. I look forward to connecting!
