Courtland McPherson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You’re feeling stuck, disconnected, burned out, or just not like yourself. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe work consumes everything. Maybe you’re wondering, is this really it?
Many of the folks I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re functioning. But they’re carrying stress, loneliness, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or a growing sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
I help folks like you navigate that stress, depression, those relationship challenges, life transitions, parenthood, and the quiet loneliness that often comes with modern life. My approach is straightforward, practical, and jargon-free.
Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and help you build a life that feels more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you want to be.
Stop scrolling, stop second-guessing, and take the next step. Schedule your free 20-minute consultation today. The life you’re looking for won’t change until you do!

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me have spent years holding everything together. They are thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring. Other people depend on them. From the outside, their lives often look successful. Inside, they are anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering why they cannot seem to relax, even when life is going well.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain and illness, addiction, and the long term effects of living in survival mode. My approach integrates EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy to help address both the emotional and physical effects of trauma and chronic stress.
Therapy offers the opportunity to understand the patterns that developed for good reasons, while creating new experiences that allow those patterns to begin changing. I provide secure online therapy throughout California and in person in West Los Angeles.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I am a somatic psychotherapist and approach therapy holistically, focusing on the mind-body-spirit. My background and training is in early childhood development, mindfulness and meditation practices, and somatic psychology. I believe in processing and healing past wounds, while also working with the body and what is coming up in the present moment using body-oriented techniques and mindfulness. I also use ancient yogic practices and approach healing considering your subtle body energy system if you are interested (e.g. chakra health, breathing techniques, movement, etc).

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
I believe therapy is a tool to self-actualization. In a society where doing is valued over being, I help people discover who they really are without the labels, titles, and neatly wrapped boxes we like to categorize ourselves in. My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-esteem issues, or navigating major life transitions, I am committed to guiding you towards lasting healing and self-discovery.

Psychodynamic
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have spent much of your life being the responsible one—balancing family expectations, caring for others, and striving to succeed while your own emotional needs went unseen. From the outside, your life may look accomplished, but inside you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly alone. You learned early on to prioritize everyone else’s well-being, often leaving little room to understand or care for yourself.

Dr. Lori Lynn Mann
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Psy.D.
Ever feel stuck? Maybe you are bogged down with thoughts, memories, or uncomfortable feelings. Or maybe you are just itching for a change in your life. I am a licensed psychotherapist with an additional doctorate degree. I help individuals, couples, and families throughout Orange County & LA County. My approach is one where I aim for you to feel comfortable from the very beginning. No cookie cutter model here...I will find a way to meet you where you are at and work toward your therapy goals. I'm an accomplice toward helping you feel heard and validated in your journey...because life, after all, through the good and the bad, is a journey, isn't it? We will work together through the highs and lows, the conflicts internally and externally, re-group when thought processes get us in a rut, and focus on full mind-body health. I walk the walk in wellness in that it is my life mission to help better the lives of others. I am a semi-professional marathon runner and creator of the mind-body wellness brand, TIER Wellness, that encourages others to reach the next TIER in their lives.
