FINDING A THERAPIST
​​​​​​​​
Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change. Because of this, I believe it’s important to choose a clinician who genuinely feels like a good fit.
​
That may be me, or it may be someone else. The referrals below are offered as a resource to support your search. I encourage you to do your own research and schedule consultation calls as needed.
​
I’m based in Los Angeles County, and the referrals reflect that. I do not receive compensation for referrals and am not responsible for the treatment or services provided by the clinicians listed.​
