Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.

G. Safina
Therapist, MA, MS, NCC
People often turn to therapy when their usual ways of coping no longer seem effective. The habits we form in childhood can become deeply ingrained, influencing how we respond to life's challenges as we grow. These coping mechanisms may serve us well at first, but when life becomes more complex, they can fall short. This often manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck in a way that doesn’t quite make sense. My role is to collaborate with you in creating a new, fresh approach—one that fits your unique Self and addresses the specific challenges you're facing right now.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Psychoanalyst, LCSW
My name is Sam, and I'm a psychoanalytic therapist who is passionate about helping adults and kids navigate life's complexities. Whether you're an adult seeking deeper understanding of yourself or a young person embarking on your journey, I offer a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
My approach is rooted in contemporary psychoanalysis and attachment theory, which delve into the unconscious mind. We'll work together to uncover patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping your current challenges. This can include chronic behaviors, relationship difficulties, or simply a feeling of being stuck.
The therapeutic process can be quirky and surprising, just like life itself! I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where curiosity can be powerful tools for self-discovery. At its core, my practice is built on empathy and a genuine desire to see you thrive.

Sarah Farnsworth
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFA, RPS
In life, we travel through the present moment while simultaneously being influenced by the past. At times this may feel confusing, jumbled, frightening or damn-near impossible.
Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going?
These are just some of the questions we ask ourselves -- the ones that keep us up at night. While I cannot answer these questions for you, through Psychoanalysis I can offer you the space to explore these deep questions and support you through your journey into yourself -- with all its twists and turns.
This is a collaborative process. Together we will take the plunge into your history, wade through experiences and relationship dynamics that have shaped your world, and dream of new possibilities and potentials that have until now remained out of reach.
Psychoanalysis is not easy, but nothing that touches the soul is. To quote Neville Symington, "Psychoanalysis is not for the person who has had a breakdown and just wants to start functioning again, because as the analysis proceeds he may have to revise his whole life and alter it radically. I think that psychoanalysis is for those who have a curiosity about life, but also wish to live it inwardly" (from The Psychoanalytic Experience).
If you wish to explore yourself in-depth and exist as your truest self, I invite you to contact me. I am accepting Clients virtually and in-person in Los Angeles, CA.
