Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits all solution.
Because everyone brings their own set of struggles and strengths to the table.
That’s why we believe in choosing a therapy method that’s the best fit for you as an individual.
If you’re a motivated, self-starter type who wants to take a front seat in your psychological development, then we have just the method for you.
It’s called Person Centered Therapy.
And just like the name says, it’s therapy centered and driven by you.
This alternative form of therapy is great for people who want to take control of their progress so that they can witness real change, fast.
Person Centered Therapy is rooted in the assumption that all humans have the innate ability to solve their own problems and reach their own goals.
This theory emphasizes the importance of self-motivation and self-direction, with the therapist as a supporter, rather than a leader or guru.
Yep, that means you’re in the driver’s seat.
This model diverges from traditional talk therapy because we will take a step back by offering an empathetic approach that empowers and motivates you in the therapy process to reach your own ideal self.
You will be able to grow psychologically in an environment that supports meaningful change and you’ll be able to actualize your best self in a way that’s conducive to long-term maintenance.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Person Centered Therapy is considered a non-directive form of talk therapy.
It encourages the client to lead the conversation while we are simply there to provide “unconditional positive regard,” which allows you to trust your own experience and bolster your own values.
Basically consider us your cheerleader.
This means we will refrain from judgment for any reason, while providing a source of complete acceptance and unwavering support for whatever you are going through.
Research has proven that when clients experience unconditional positive regard from their therapists, they are more likely to feel accepted and valued.
When we feel accepted and valued, we have an easier time developing a greater sense of self-worth.
And we’re all about that!
It’s pretty intuitive—the desire to be seen and accepted is a basic human need and can be very powerful in kick starting motivation for real change.
Another factor in deciding if PCT is the right fit for you depends on your relationship and dynamic with your therapist.
Building a trusting relationship with your therapist is key for your success with this method.
Let’s take a look at the 6 necessary factors that will determine if PCT is the right fit for you, according to Goodtherapy.org.
PCT facilitates self-discovery and personal growth, eliminates or mitigates feelings of distress, increases self-esteem and self-acceptance, and provides a means toward healing and positive growth.
While it may seem difficult to find the internal motivation needed to achieve your goals, that is where our therapists step in.
At My LA Therapy, we will help you find the strength and motivation needed to reach your goals, and create the foundation necessary to create greater freedom, empowerment, and peace.
Therapy can successfully improve your life by helping you minimize the anxiety in your life, identifying and changing underlying thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to your struggles, and providing you with strategies to decrease discomfort while restoring an overall sense of peace.

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

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂

Right now, the work is changing my life, sometimes in inches, sometimes in miles.
