Jonathan Klein

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Los Angeles, CA


I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles and love this work. I came to therapy through an unconventional path — nearly a decade in film and photography, work as a youth counselor, and service in the military — all of which deeply shaped how I understand people and their stories.

I earned my master's degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I focused on psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches. My thesis centered on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, a specialty I've continued developing through advanced trainings I've completed.

I work with individuals, couples, adolescents & families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular love for working with creative professionals, veterans and young adults. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative and love working with folks from the queer community.

My practice spans traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — including psychedelic integration support for those processing experiences outside of our work together. I see clients in person in Atwater Village in Northeast LA, and virtually throughout California.

Ashley Karubian

Ashley Karubian

Therapist

In-person • 25 mi away • Santa Monica, CA


Growing up in California, Colorado and Tennessee concocted a Midwestern warmth with an open-mindedness and appreciation of our differences. These experiences gave me a curiosity for how humans develop in their environments and with their unique histories, leading me to pursue psychology.

I studied Political Science at Vanderbilt University before a seven year tenure in the corporate world. I am grateful for this experience as it has added depth and perspective to my work with clients. In 2014 I began my counseling psychology degree at The Wright Institute in Berkeley and then completed my training in San Francisco. My training journey encompassed internships at community mental health clinics, elementary and high schools, group therapy practices, and social service sites where I received intensive supervision in a variety of modalities. I regularly attend trainings and consult with colleagues to hone my craft and provide the best possible care.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Anaheim, CA

Searching for therapists in Anaheim starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for therapy in Anaheim for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. A strong match often depends on more than location. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, to see whether their experience lines up with what you want to address.

Anaheim has therapy options across areas like Anaheim Hills, West Anaheim, and Central Anaheim, along with virtual appointments that can make scheduling easier. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home, work, or school, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual care. As you compare an Anaheim therapist, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their session style. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they communicate, what they focus on, and whether their approach seems like a practical fit.

Therapy in Anaheim can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, accept many insurance plans, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can also search for related care, including marriage counseling in Anaheim or a psychiatrist in Anaheim, CA, when that better matches your needs. Browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
