Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
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. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hi! My name is Omer and I'm a licensed therapist based in LA. My expertise is in supporting my clients understand themselves on a deeper level, recover from trauma, foster joy and improve relationships. Together, we’ll build awareness around anxieties, fears, triggers, or conflicts that get in the way of connection with others. We’ll work to identify your needs and further develop skills to communicate them. We'll spend time calling attention to beliefs, behaviors, "shoulds" and narratives that might no longer serve you. My approach to therapy is integrative and rooted in a relational lens, focusing on attachments, dynamics, and narratives. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, men, creative professionals, and people facing life transitions such as coming out, starting a new career, or entering parenthood.
