Hans Kulla-Mader

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.7 mi away • Los Angeles, CA


Hey there, I'm Hans. A little about what I do: I have conversations. I bring my whole self to them: my curiosity, training, humor, and life experience—then together, we'll work toward whatever you're trying to change, understand, or get unstuck from.


I enjoy working with creatives of any age, as well as people in their twenties and thirties navigating anxiety and major life transitions. Drawing on CBT, relational, and humanistic approaches, I tailor our work together to how you want to be helped, rather than fitting you into one method. In my experience, when two people show up fully and commit to the process, moments of insight emerge that carry well beyond our sessions.
