Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • El Segundo, CA


I partner with clients to support healing, growth, and positive transformation. I offer an intimate space that’s grounded in empathy and curiosity. But I'm also real, direct, and sometimes a little playful. Therapy with me isn’t stiff or clinical; it's human, heartfelt, and intuitive. I’ve helped clients reframe and navigate anxiety, chronic illness, trauma, depression, and shame, offering relief from painful symptoms and limiting beliefs. I’m EMDR trained and bring over 25 years of yoga and meditation practice into the room with us.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Irvine, CA


I'm Josiah — a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) offering in-person sessions in Irvine and telehealth sessions across California. My work centers on three communities I care deeply about: veterans navigating the often-invisible work of coming home, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples looking for a therapist who genuinely gets it, and parents who are doing their best while carrying more than they show. I'm Transgender Allied, trained in trauma-informed and multicultural frameworks, and I work with individuals, couples, and families. Before anything else, I work hard to make sure you feel like yourself in the session — not a diagnosis, not a file.

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Long Beach

Finding couples therapists in Long Beach starts with naming what you want support with together. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or premarital planning. Since not all therapists have specific couples training, look for a licensed marriage and family therapist or a therapist who lists couples counseling, marriage counseling, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, or another relationship-focused approach in their bio.

In Long Beach, the right fit also depends on what works for both partners. Some couples prefer an office near home, work, or transit, while others may find virtual appointments easier to fit into two schedules. As you compare Long Beach therapists, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief consultation before the first session. Provider bios can also show how a therapist structures couples sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they often support.

Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling and lets you check insurance coverage and estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
