Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
We are all capable of greater joy and intimacy in our lives. Partnering with the right therapist can be an important step towards that personal growth. Whether you're struggling with marital issues, lack of intimacy, infidelity, parenting concerns, the grief over the loss of a loved one, or feelings of depression, anxiety or despair, you are not alone. My intention is to help you develop clarity about the nature of your experiences, awareness of your strengths and challenges and empowerment in your daily life. Through this process of exploration you can move towards an enhanced sense of self and more gratifying, loving relationships. I am excited to invite you on this journey of healing and self-discovery.

Sara Gillooly
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPCC
As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Alan Hanft
Psychiatrist, M.D.
I’m a board certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and also a board certified Adult Psychiatrist, seeing young children, teenagers, and adults. In general, my approach is to listen carefully, empathetically, to try to understand your situation as well, thoroughly as possible, and then work with you to develop a safe and effective treatment plan in a supportive environment. I believe a comprehensive plan is best, and not to rely solely on medications, although medications can certainly be very helpful in many situations. The goal is to help you with your problems, relieve distress, and thus improve your quality of life.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Many of the people who reach out to me have spent years holding everything together and often to themselves. They are thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring. Other people might depend on them. Externally, their lives often look successful while 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.
