Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Glendale, CA

My name is Artin Baghramian, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Atwater Village.

My training has taken me across a wide range of settings: a college campus, a community mental health clinic, an older adult clinic, and a forensic environment. I have also completed advanced postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Working across these contexts has shaped my ability to sit with people from all walks of life, whatever they are carrying.

I bring 20 years of experience in many areas of therapy including LGBT specializations, drug/alcohol issues specialization, and a client centered approach

I provide individual therapy to adults and teens. I practice therapy from a place of empathy, nonjudgment, warmth and humor. I believe that each person holds wisdom and unique gifts and talents and that my role, as your therapist, is to reflect the light within you. I have been providing therapy for 20 years and worked in community mental health, as a clinical supervisor, for 14 years before fulfilling my dream of opening my full-time private practice in 2023.

Hi I'm Eric. My clients describe me as easy to talk to, open, and compassionate. I see my role as unlocking the healer within you, developing a plan for change, and transforming new insights into lasting growth.

I'm a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in the Los Angeles area.

I received my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Southern California. I'm committed to expanding my knowledge and training, which has included workshops and trainings on treating trauma in children, adults, and older populations, as well as trainings on attachment, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ADHD, and working with couples.

I've worked with clients in recovery from chemical addiction, people dealing with chronic mental illness such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, and couples and individuals working through issues of infertility, adoption, family building and life transitions.

Regardless of the age of my client, whether I'm working with a 25 year old struggling with career options, or married couples facing the challenge of dealing with infertility, or an individual in her 70s facing the difficult transitions that come with aging, my approach always begins from a humanistic core, filled with respect, compassion and consideration. In this search for a meaningful, integrated life, I work to help my clients make their own decisions, find their own happiness, and deepen their own relationships with health and vitality. It's your process. You may be struggling to find your way back to a life you once enjoyed, or you may be seeking a path of discovery for a life you want to live. I want to help.

My expertise is in child and adolescent anxiety reduction, OCD, autism and ADHD. My goal is to provide education to kids and their parents about anxiety and related and co-occurring conditions. I also frequently treat phobias, separation anxiety, emotion regulation issues, school refusal, learning disabilities, trauma, giftedness and 2e.

I am also experienced in helping adults and children navigate issues related to divorce including coparenting, custody planning, divorce navigation from considering separation (discernment) through divorce mediation/proceedings to post judgment. I also have expertise in helping adults navigate post separation abuse, domestic violence and coercive control.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - PSYCHOANALYSIS

I invite you to say what you would never say in ordinary conversation. I specialize in anxiety, depression, difficult to describe dissatisfaction, work/career difficulties, low self-esteem, sexual problems, imposter syndrome, men's issues, creative blocks, sexual abuse, religious/cultic/satanic trauma and relationship issues.

After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

I'm Dr. Jack Sample, a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles offering psychodynamic, depth-oriented therapy at my office in Hollywood. My practice is informed by training and education in psychology, cultural anthropology, and nonfiction storytelling. I believe therapy is an opportunity to address the roots of suffering and support enduring change. My approach aims to cultivate capacities for thinking, feeling, and creativity to foster a greater sense of agency and aliveness.

I specialize in creating a supportive, empathetic space for healing and growth. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex emotions and find empowerment in their lives.

Let's start wherever you are. Stressed? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Unmotivated? Feel like you're faking it through life? I'm with you. I welcome you to be heard, to let down and rest. I support you in working through past events, discovering your true self, and learning new skills to empower you. I work with individuals in person in my cozy office in Pasadena.

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.
