Sherman Oaks, California therapist: Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Existential

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.

Like a volcano, 2 things tend to happen if we stuff our thoughts and feelings; we can explode or implode. We may blow up and we all know what that looks like. Other times though, we stuff what's on our mind, thinking it will just go away. It wont. In fact, doing this can lead to angst and depression. We can help you best address your needs. 30 of us here to offer specialized care. We all get stuck sometimes. You deserve support to address bumps in the road and help you through them.

Sherman Oaks, California therapist: David Eshleman, marriage and family therapist
Existential

David Eshleman

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".
