What Makes My LA Therapy Different?
Status Quo
- You might find yourself cycling through dozens of therapists, unsure if they really fit your needs.
- We offer a personalized matching system, carefully selecting therapists who specialize in your specific concerns.
- You're left to guess and hope for the best, with minimal guidance. —and no real way to know what's working or what’s not.
- We take the time to understand your unique needs, ensuring you’re matched with a therapist who fits your lifestyle & needs.
- You pay for therapy, whether it's the right fit or not.
- We guarantee to match you with the perfect therapist—or your money back.
- Therapists may provide a listening ear but lack actionable feedback—leaving you heard, but not helped.
- We go beyond passive listening, offering practical advice that challenges you to think and exist differently.
- Finding a therapist often involves doing a lot of legwork, only to discover they're too expensive or unavailable
- Our matching specialists ensure you’ll be paired with a therapist who fits your budget and schedule.
- You hope therapy will be effective but have no promise of results
- Our therapists use research-based interventions that are proven to work
- Therapy might only address surface issues, leaving deeper problems untouched.
- Our team is trained to dig deep, interrupt unconscious patterns, and tackle the root causes of your struggles for lasting change.

What Our Clients Say
I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney
