My LA Therapy
Our therapy team

Most applicants never make it
past the first call.

Every therapist at our boutique LA practice is personally interviewed, vetted, and trained by our founder with 20 years of clinical experience. We turn away the vast majority of applicants, accepting only those who possess the rare blend of clinical skill, depth, and presence that actually changes lives.

Brooke Sprowl, LCSW — Clinical Director & Founder of My LA Therapy
Founder & Clinical Director

Brooke Sprowl, LCSW

In my twenties, I spent ten years and tens of thousands of dollars with multiple therapists who only left me feeling more lost, hopeless, and broken. I built My LA Therapy to spare others the pain of that experience, and to ensure life-changing care is available to everyone.

Boutique LA therapy team

A team you'd never assemble by accident.

Rigorous Vetting

We match you with a rigorously vetted therapist from our small, highly selective roster. We're a boutique therapy practice run by a therapist, not a directory.

Specialized Training

Our founder personally selects and trains each therapist in Nervous System-Based Therapy and real-time interruption of unconscious defenses, anxiety, and patterns.

Ongoing Consultation

Our team meets regularly to consult on cases, sharpen the work, and expand their skills. Your therapist isn't practicing alone — there's a whole clinical team behind them.

Matched by a Real Person

Our therapist matching specialist deep dives into your unique needs, personality, and preferences and matches you with a therapist who fits seamlessly into your life.
