Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
There are seasons in life when we feel lost, a relationship changes, a loss reshapes us, or a long-held identity no longer fits. We find ourselves in unfamiliar territory, uncertain of who we are or where we are headed.
Sometimes these threshold periods are sparked by an external life event. Other times they emerge as depression, anxiety, persistent relationship struggles, or the lasting impact of childhood experiences that continue to shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
In our culture, these experiences are often viewed as problems to solve as quickly as possible. Yet many of life's most meaningful transformations begin in periods of uncertainty, darkness, and waiting. Just as seeds germinate beneath the surface before they emerge into the light, something new may be taking shape within you, even when you cannot yet see it.
I offer a place to explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion, and depth. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we listen for what is seeking expression, make meaning of life's challenges, and cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, your relationships, and your own unfolding path.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity, purpose, and meaning. Together, we create a space where healing and growth can emerge in their own time.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.

Dr. Vanessa Bell
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Psy.D., LMFT
Navigating life’s complexities or relationship strain can often feel overwhelming. We all carry experiences from our past that shape how we relate to ourselves and others today. My goal in therapy is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, break free from self-defeating patterns, and build meaningful, supportive relationships. Together, we will create a safe, confidential environment to foster deep emotional healing and personal growth.

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.

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.
