About
Therapy
“At the root of so much suffering is one simple yet insidious cause: self-doubt. As we reclaim our inner knowing, many of our mental health concerns begin to heal and self-liberate.
Our goal is to help you find clarity, purpose, and strength as you reconnect to your intuitive wisdom and cultivate an unshakeable resiliency that you carry into every challenge you face.”
- Brooke Sprowl, Founder
Therapy Works
My LA Therapy Philosophy
As more and more research is conducted, one thing becomes increasingly clear: therapy works. Independent researchers continually find the benefits of psychotherapy not only endure but increase over time. Even more compelling is the finding that the indicators of emotional health for recipients of psychodynamic therapy equal and often exceed those of medication. To see the research for yourself, click here: The Efficacy of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
Effective therapy actually alters the chemicals in your brain and rewires your neural pathways, transforming the way you process information about yourself and the world. In fact, therapy has even been shown to have a powerful impact on physical diseases. In one study, patients with metastatic breast cancer who received therapy lived an average of 18 months longer than those who did not.

While some anxiety is a normal part of life (sigh), when it’s accompanied by feelings of hopelessness or loss of control—or when it starts to interfere with your everyday functioning—it’s time to seek help from a professional therapist.
Scientifically speaking, anxiety is just your body’s natural response to stress.
Sadness is a normal part of life, but when it’s accompanied by hopelessness, worthlessness, or numbness, it’s a sign that there’s something more serious at hand that requires professional attention and care.
These feelings may indicate that you’re experiencing depression, a common mood disorder that can stem from trauma, learned behavior, negative thought patterns, and biochemistry–or some combination of all of the above.
Love can be one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences in life, but at times it can also bring us more pain than joy. Can you relate?
For so many of us, intimacy is what we most long for and what we most fear. While relationships can be challenging, they can also serve as a profound crucible for our transformation.
Dating can be as intoxicating and exciting as it is painful and destructive. And sometimes we find ourselves in relationships that hurt us or just aren’t right for us, but we still have a hard time leaving.
If you find yourself in relationships that often bring more heartache and pain than they do support and love, you may be experiencing unresolved trauma or unconscious patterns that we can help interrupt.
From somatic experiencing, CBT, and DBT to OCD, family therapy, and panic disorder, whatever your concerns are, our highly-vetted therapist are specially trained to help you heal using research-based, actionable therapy.
About Our Team
While each member of our Therapist Team has a great deal of training and experience, what makes us different is who we are: authenticity, openness, and warmth are a central part of who we are and how we practice.

The Problem We Solve
When you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and unresolved trauma can make the search for a therapist daunting. Wading through a slew of mediocre therapists who lack self awareness and actionable insight can be overwhelming and discouraging.
Finding a therapist while in the midst of mental health challenges, leading you to believe that perhaps therapy isn’t right for you, or worse, that you are beyond help and that you have nowhere to turn. I’ve been there myself.
My Personal Mental Health Journey
In my twenties, each day began with a pit in my stomach and an impending sense of doom. I had no idea at the time that I was suffering from unconscious anxiety and unresolved trauma which led to low self-esteem, depression, and relationship issues leaving me feeling confused, isolated, and broken.
I was so accustomed to living this way that I barely recognized how bad things were––or that it was possible to experience life differently. The possibility of living a life free of anxiety, of actually loving myself and being confident in who I was, felt so distant that it seemed out of reach. When I reached my breaking point, the realization that I needed help was clear, but I had no idea where to start to find a therapist.
Despite realizing I needed help, the journey to find the right therapist was long and painful. I consulted ten therapists over six years, encountering many who were not the right fit and gave awful advice, which not only cost me vast amounts of time and money but also compounded my feelings of hopelessness.
Several of these therapists didn’t bother to show up to the appointments or even call to cancel. It was bad.
It wasn’t until I found the right therapist—one who offered not only empathy but also challenged me and equipped me with practical, actionable skills—that I began to truly heal. This transformative experience fueled my determination to ensure others could find the perfect therapist for them without enduring years of painful––and expensive––trial and error.

Driven by my personal struggles, I developed a systematic process to match clients with the ideal therapist tailored to their specific needs and preferences. We rigorously vet our therapists to ensure they possess not only clinical expertise and research-based training but also empathy, insight, and the practical tools crucial for effective therapy.

What Our Clients Say
About My LA Therapy
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. I know this from personal experience. In my twenties, I went through ten therapists over many years before I found the one who would change my life. The journey was fraught with professionals who were absent, unhelpful, or just not the right fit, costing me time, money, and unnecessary pain.
I often wonder how different my life would have been if I had found the right help sooner. Many people, discouraged by similar experiences, conclude that therapy isn’t for them or give up when the process becomes too overwhelming. That’s why I founded My LA Therapy.
