My LA Therapy
Our therapy approaches

Therapy that reaches what talk alone can't.

We specialize in research-based therapy approaches that go beyond conscious awareness to shift unconscious patterns in the nervous system in real-time.

Our founder’s signature approach

Nervous System-Based Therapy.

The original framework our founder developed systematizing the most powerful interventions she’s refined over twenty years in practice.

01

Physiological state calibration

Real-time anxiety modulation, nervous system regulation, and autonomic tracking allows us to intervene in the moment, rewire neural pathways, and interrupt unconscious patterns.

02

Defense system mapping

Every avoidance is a strategy that once kept you safe. We identify and compassionately interrupt your unconscious defense mechanisms to give you a different experience of yourself.

03

Multi-modal processing

We work somatically, experientially, cognitively and with parts, offering a dynamic and integrative approach to therapy that shifts your way of being on multiple levels.

Therapeutic methods & modalities

Research-based tools for lasting change.

Our therapists go beyond traditional talk therapy, integrating scientifically-proven therapy techniques to interrupt and shift the unconscious patterns keeping you stuck.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR

Gentle bilateral stimulation helps the brain reprocess memories that got stuck. Instead of only talking about what happened, your nervous system finally files it away as over so it loses its charge.

Attachment-Focused Therapy

Hypnotherapy & NLP

By guiding you into a focused, deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming reach the subconscious beliefs and patterns that ordinary talk can't touch to address stubborn habits, fears, and the old stories running beneath the surface.
