Fuller Life Concepts
Marriage and Family Therapist
Our Feelings First Program for anxious children (ages 6-12) uses a CBT framework adapted for young minds. Kids learn to identify their worry thoughts, understand how those thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors, and practice new ways to respond. Through games, activities, and age-appropriate exercises, we teach cognitive restructuring, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure—all in a way that makes sense to kids. Parents receive parallel coaching so you can reinforce these skills at home

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
Here's a quality blurb for your Anxiety Therapy specialty:
"Providing anxiety therapy in Los Angeles and West Hollywood for nearly a decade, I specialize in helping individuals break free from the exhausting cycle of worry, overthinking, and anxious distress. My approach to anxiety therapy goes beyond teaching temporary coping mechanisms—instead, I help clients understand and challenge the hidden 'rules' that anxiety imposes, transforming their relationship with fear and uncertainty at its core. Located in the heart of West Hollywood, I combine psychoanalytic insights with evidence-based strategies to address various forms of anxiety, from social anxiety to generalized worry, helping Los Angeles residents uncover the emotional patterns beneath their anxious thoughts. Through both in-person sessions at my West Hollywood office and online therapy throughout California, I guide clients to recognize anxiety's false alarms, interrupt worry loops, and develop genuine emotional resilience. My goal is to empower you to live by your own rules rather than anxiety's demands, creating lasting change that allows you to face life's uncertainties with confidence and clarity.

Anxiety or Fears
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
According to research we have upwards of 70,000 thoughts a day. Most of them pass through us without so much as a “second thought”, but all are informing a sense of how we feel about ourselves, about the world we live in, about the abundance or the scarcity in our lives.
Our thoughts create our feelings and vice versa. For so many of us, “feelings” become an overwhelming, incapacitating part of our existence. What if you didn’t fear feelings? What if you had a clearer understanding of what thoughts had informed those feelings? These feelings and thoughts, which create anxiety, depression, worries, concerns or obsessions etc., can and must be dissected and understood. With insight and understanding comes relief. Situational pressures, breakups, job loss or confusion, a sense of purposelessness, become existential crisis.
In my work with individuals we closely examine the myriad of thoughts that pass through you daily. How do they make you feel? How do they inform your behaviors? It can occur in opposite as well. “I got a feeling he didn’t like me”. The feeling set up thought patterns of insecurity. Which comes first? How? Why? With empathy, insight and understanding, I work with clients to intervene in this process so that you are not just a firestorm of thoughts and feelings, but rather a mindful creation of what you want to feel. Making choices of what you want to think. What do you choose to believe about yourself? What is the narrative you have created for your life and is it accurate? Unpacking childhood memories and life experiences, understanding attachment complexities and desensitizing traumatic events that occur within our lives become primary objectives in the work. Processing in a more adaptive, healthy response with these relationships, traumas and experiences follow.
Together, with love, compassion and understanding, I gently help my clients discover how to live their best and fullest life, expressing the most authentic representation of self that one can be.

Brad Gilmore
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Key in treating anxiety is learning what messages your anxiety is encoding - what does it want / need you to know and what lies underneath the anxiety - what feelings and emotions await your attention. In therapy, you learn to process these feelings and foster a deeper connection with yourself and others.

David Andreone
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, AMFT
Anxiety is almost always rooted in the future -- thinking about the future, obsessing about the future, worrying about the future. Learning how to live in the moment, in the here and now, can reduce most outsized anxiety.
