Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.

Jessie Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I get it—life and relationships can be messy, confusing, and deeply personal. I work with individuals and couples navigating love, identity, and life transitions, bringing a warm, direct approach that meets you where you are. Whether in-person or virtual, our sessions are a space for insight, clarity, and a few “aha” moments along the way. I also weave in humor and real-life perspective when it feels right—because therapy shouldn’t be all serious all the time.

Todd Deutsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in your relationships or personal life can be difficult to navigate alone. As a therapist specializing in men’s therapy in Los Angeles, I’ve spent more than 20 years helping men, individuals, couples, and professionals better understand themselves, work through challenges, and build greater confidence, connection, and fulfillment.
My work in men’s therapy focuses on relationships, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, communication, emotional vulnerability, and the pressures men often carry in their personal and professional lives. I also work closely with high-functioning professionals who may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, or a sense that something is missing.
In addition to men’s counseling, I provide individual therapy and couples counseling in West Los Angeles, helping people navigate relationship patterns, improve communication, work through conflict, and develop healthier, more meaningful connections.
I'm also the author of Grounded Openness, a book exploring attachment, relationships, and how we can become more emotionally available without losing our sense of self. These ideas are an important part of my work, helping clients better understand how past experiences and relationship patterns influence their lives today.
My approach is warm, genuine, practical, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can speak openly, feel understood, and gain meaningful insight without judgment. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking to grow, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I offer in-person therapy in West Los Angeles and online therapy throughout California. If you're considering therapy and wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out for a complimentary 10–15 minute introductory call.

I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing.

Enlightened Self Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to seek the support you need.
You may be wondering who you’ll be meeting with as you begin your healing journey. I am a Tohono O'odham and Mexican American, neurodivergent, cisgender, bisexual female. My identity and lived experience are an integral part of how I show up in this work with care, humility, and a deep respect for each person’s story.
As a therapist, I am committed to ongoing learning and growth in service of my clients. Over the years in private practice, I have learned to trust my intuition while developing and refining different healing approaches. This process has deepened my connection to Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting.
At my practice, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals who are deeply committed to their healing. Our therapists share this same dedication and are equally committed to the clients they serve.
In our work together, we thoughtfully interweave these modalities to support deeper, more integrated healing.
I feel a deep commitment to the people I have the privilege to work with and walk alongside in their process.
