Hello, my name is Monica Cooley and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have a diverse background of client populations including children, adolescence, adults, couples, and families facing issues of trauma, anxiety, depression and personality disorders. It is common for clients to initiate therapy reporting challenges with self-esteem, motivation, seeking life purpose and relationships.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I have been working in a counseling field since 2010. I have experience working in Child Welfare, non-profit and private practice settings with individuals, couples, families and groups who are experiencing a wide range of challenges.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 19 years of experience helping adults, teens, couples, and families facing a variety of issues including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, work stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive and safe space for you to explore your challenges and seek meaningful change. Together, we can navigate life's complexities, improve your well-being, and help you build stronger relationships.
Hello! My name is Melanie Lapeyrolerie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California. I offer in-person therapy in West Los Angeles and telehealth services to clients throughout the state. I work with a diverse range of individuals, from young adults to seniors aged 18 to 71. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and alcohol and substance use disorders. To support my clients in enhancing their daily lives and overall well-being, I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness, among others.
It's hard to find non-judgmental therapy, especially when dealing with subjects that evoke shame. That's why I collaborate to create a therapy that meets you as you are. I hold an affirming space for marginalized orientations, neurotypes, and relationship styles. We can work to navigate major issues like trauma, sexuality and life changes, or an ongoing condition like depression or anxiety. I am also passionate about supporting people through their gender journeys. My therapy is not just inclusive, but is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming. I also enjoy working with couples or relationship groups as they navigate challenges.
Hi, my name is Alo. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of "Am I Trans Enough?" I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/non-monogamous, and kink communities. I've been a therapist for the past 10 years and often help people work through questions around their identity, relationships, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Are you experiencing persistent anxiety, rumination, panic symptoms, or perfectionistic self-criticism? Are you feeling like you are "too much?" I help clients navigate these feelings and build skills to cope. I can help you if you're experiencing difficulty with identity, purpose, or meaning in life or gender and/or sexual identity, coming out, or navigating relationships and family stress. I help clients experiencing grief from change — lost roles, relationships, identity shifts or life transitions. If you're experiencing stress related to college, academic pressure, or entering adulthood, I would love to work with you.
Hi, I’m Erica Thurlow, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in mindfulness and evidence-based practices like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals, honoring their unique wiring and building lives aligned with their values.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly 20 years working as a grip/rigging grip in the film industry. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for creativity, high-pressure environments, and the importance of meaningful human connection. I earned my M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Hope International University, where I also trained as an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. Whether you're seeking emotional processing, relationship repair, or making peace with your past, we'll work together in cultivating acceptance, empowerment, and change.
Thank you for choosing to embark on your healing journey. It takes strength and self-awareness to seek support, and that courage marks the beginning of a meaningful transformation. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, growth, and healing.
