Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
One of my favorite things about being a therapist is being able to support people in reclaiming power in their lives. I value the privilege of holding a safe space for people to process their deepest fears, struggles, and pain, but also to bear witness to their celebrations and victories, no matter how big or small. Diagnoses and labels can be helpful flashlights to help us find our way, but ultimately, therapy should be about having a safe place to come where you can be your full authentic self.

Taylor Lee
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP, Ed.M., M.A.
I create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space for clients who are ready to make meaningful changes and live more authentically. I specialize in working with people who have spent much of their lives people-pleasing or prioritizing others, and who are now ready to reconnect with their own needs, values, and voices. As an Asian American woman, I bring lived experience and cultural humility into my work, and am deeply committed to creating a safe, affirming space for people of color and members of marginalized communities.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Selecting a psychotherapist is an intimate and consequential decision. The work is most effective when you are able to be fully yourself—without self-editing, without judgment, and without pressure to perform. My role is to offer a calm, attuned, and intellectually rigorous space where anxiety, depression, and relational concerns can be explored with care, curiosity, and respect for your privacy.
Many of my clients seek support for chronic anxiety, emotional exhaustion, low mood, or a sense of disconnection that persists despite outward success. I approach this work collaboratively, creating a conversational and grounded therapeutic process designed to help you feel understood, regulated, and supported—particularly when navigating complex or deeply personal material.
I offer secure telehealth psychotherapy, allowing for seamless and discreet access to care from anywhere with internet access. Extensive research demonstrates that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person treatment, with increased continuity and flexibility for demanding schedules. For those who prefer in-person sessions, I also maintain a private office in West Hollywood.
When you contact my practice, you will communicate directly with me. Your care is never delegated. This structure ensures absolute discretion, continuity, and a highly individualized therapeutic experience from first contact onward.
In addition to my clinical work, I am an intimacy consultant for film and television, bringing a sophisticated understanding of relationships, emotional dynamics, and high-visibility professional environments.
My practice is intentionally small and selective, allowing me to provide focused, confidential care to individuals and couples seeking a refined, private, and deeply attentive approach to psychotherapy.

We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. My work is grounded in community care, growth, liberation, joy, resilience, healing, and justice.

My approach is rooted in liberation, relational, and psychodynamic work through an anti-oppressive lens, and includes modalities such as somatics, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and I find it incredibly fulfilling to continuously build relationships through empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

Vesna Cvetkovic
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
I believe in therapy and the potential for change. I also believe in the importance of finding support when you need it. As a therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and try to show up for each client fully and take on the responsibility for their progress. Also, as a therapist, I always try to find potential avenues for growth, whether it's getting a certification in cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, I believe that growing my skillset and sharing it with you is essential. I also encourage you to think deeply about your life and to take actions to create changes that you want to see.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
I am PSYPACT authorized, serving adults and couples via secure telehealth therapy across 40+ states — making expert psychological care accessible wherever you are.
