We don’t just provide therapy in ASL we also understand deafness as a culture and community.
That’s why it’s crucial to find a community and support system that can help you navigate the world and provide you with a safe space to share your struggles.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you’ve come to the right place.
Unlike most therapy practices out there, we have unique experience working with deaf clients.
Our ASL therapist studied at Gallaudet University, a well-renowned university for the deaf and hard of hearing.
That means our team has extensive knowledge and training working with the Deaf and hearing loss community and understanding deaf culture and identity.
We will help you with all of your needs, remain sensitive to your unique experiences, and tailor your therapy to fit your personal goals and aspirations.
Our therapists will ensure a safe, nonjudgmental, confidential, and secure place for you to share your thoughts and feelings.
We are skilled in providing culturally sensitive and linguistically affirmative services to Deaf individuals and their families through the use of American Sign Language (ASL), signed English, and spoken English.
It’s important that we make sure to match your communication needs and preferences, and uphold the utmost professionalism.
We will take into consideration how Deaf clients’ lives are shaped by their identity and experiences as a member of their cultural and linguistic background, and we will take your unique experiences into account to shape your future in a positive and hopeful way.
By working with an ASL therapist you will have an easier time communicating at a pace that best fits your mental and emotional needs, and you’ll be able to work out the most intimate parts of your feelings and emotions.
Our therapist is mindful of the counseling relationship and, as a hearing therapist, wants to ensure clients’ comfort regarding identity differences.
Our goal at My LA Therapy is to create a therapy setting that fits your cultural and communication needs as we work together to determine the best possible road to your emotional and psychological well-being.
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.

We will discuss the overall effects that thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our environment have on our life experiences, in a safe place without judgement.
We will work at a pace that feels the most comfortable and helpful to you, and will do our best to accommodate all of your necessary needs.

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.
