Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
At a personal level, I value substance over presentation, meaningful connection over polished appearances, and honesty delivered with care. I am curious about people, loyal in my relationships, and rarely interested in the easy or rehearsed answer. I appreciate intelligence, humor, directness, and the kind of conversation that makes time disappear.
My life has made me attentive to what people carry quietly and to the distance that can exist between how a life appears and how it actually feels. I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to question what we have inherited, live with greater intention, and build something honest from the experiences that have changed us.
I am committed to showing up thoughtfully and consistently, honoring the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s inner life. This work matters to me because it offers the possibility of greater clarity, connection, and integrity, both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. I believe there is something quietly powerful about understanding yourself well enough to make choices rooted in truth rather than fear, expectation, or approval.

Dana Fogel-Stark
Therapist, M.S., LMFT
Welcome to my profile. My name is Dana Fogel-Stark and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder and Couple/Relational Issues. I have been licensed as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and in full time private practice in the heart of Calabasas. My therapeutic approach is eclectic focused on both helping clients gain insight and awareness as to the origin and cause of their struggles as well as helping clients gain the tools and coping mechanisms needed to overcome their challenges. I believe that therapy is most effective when the therapeutic approach is tailored to the specific presenting issues that the client is facing. I create a personalized treatment approach with every new client based on their specific needs. I use Evidence Based Therapy to treat obsessive worries and ruminations, physical manifestations of anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, and struggles with perfectionism/performance anxiety. My passion for using CBT is that I get to witness significant improvement with clients in a short period of time. In addition to CBT I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention as well as teaching emotional intelligence in my work with clients. I look forward to working with you.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
You might look like you have things together on the outside, but underneath, you can be left feeling stuck, low, or quietly unfulfilled. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same painful dynamics in your relationships, wondering why you can't seem to break the cycle. As a relational psychoanalyst, I listen to what lives beneath your words: the unspoken feelings and unconscious processes that run the show, behind the scenes. Whether we are untangling relationship dynamics or treating dreams like a "Jungian spelunking" expedition into your psyche, the pace is always collaborative, gentle, and anchored entirely in your real-life experiences.
I absolutely love what I do. I learn from my clients every single day. I practice in person in Los Angeles and am licensed in the states of CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I offer free Zoom consultations.

Patricia Alba
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You can’t bring yourself to face your past trauma. You’ve been to countless self-help programs and created a self-care routine, but the past still torments you. Deep down, there’s something you can’t confront, a darkness that won’t relent. You’ve been isolating yourself from your friends and family because you’re afraid you’ve become a burden. You feel alone, tired all the time, and annoyed at yourself for not being “over it.”
Sometimes, we need to look backward in order to move forward. I can be your guide, bringing over 20 years of experience resolving past traumas. Using DBT, IFS, EMDR, Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy and psychodynamic treatments, we will explore why the past is still present for you, and through this exploration, we’ll find a new path forward. Find the path to peace you’ve been searching for. Learn how to build resilience and establish healthy connections with your loved ones. Call today for a free consultation to free yourself from the pain of the past and look forward to a better future.

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.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I most often support empathic, caring, sensitive people who are used to being the “go-to” person for others, while feeling overwhelmed and depleted themselves. This is how it has always been and feels aligned with your values, and you know this way of existing is not sustainable and doesn't make you truly happy. If you’re ready to begin working toward making some shifts in life, or even ready to think about what that might look like, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable identifying and working toward your dreams, in order to move toward a life that you love more.
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!

Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe that everyone is capable of change. However, we must believe in our worth and treat ourselves with kindness in order to create that change. If life feels hard right now, that's because it is! The bodies and brains that we have were not built for the world we currently live in. Everyone grows up in an environment where their needs were not perfectly met. The ways we dealt with those unmet needs as children become unhealthy coping strategies in adulthood. With conscious effort, reflection, and practice, we can heal those wounds and learn better strategies. That's what therapy is for and I am here to help!
