Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You may appear composed in social or professional settings, but inside, you’re second-guessing every interaction or avoiding connection altogether. Social anxiety in high-achieving individuals is often masked by success and control. I help clients move beyond self-doubt and fear of judgment—toward more ease, presence, and authentic confidence in both personal and professional relationships.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run a group for young adult women who struggle with social anxiety. This group allows each member to learn about anxiety, to share what they struggle, to learn coping strategies, and to gain some support from other members. With the pandemic and quarantine, many clients have begun to struggle with social anxiety and I work with these clients to learn how to understand the anxiety they feel and how it impacts their daily life.

Universal City is the entertainment enclave around Universal Studios in the Cahuenga Pass, where theme-park, production, and hospitality workers power one of LA's signature destinations. Mental health needs follow the industry — precarious creative and service employment, irregular hours, and the gap between glamour and paycheck reality. The surrounding LA therapy market, including entertainment-specialized practitioners in the Valley and Hollywood, serves the workforce.
