I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working in private practice as a Psychotherapist. I live in Los Angeles, and work in-person or hybrid, with adults, teens, couples and the aging population. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, work stress/dissatisfaction, career goals, sleep disorders, substance use, trauma (ptsd/complex/acute), obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD/OCPD), attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD). In addition I deal with grief, isolation, and breaking creative blocks.
Therapy is a place to be yourself, without judgement, feel safe, heard and understood. I take a client centered, collaborative, trauma informed approach to the work.
I'm Ismail Al Huwaitat, PMHNP, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 14 years of combined experience in ICU nursing and psychiatric practice. I hold ADHD-CCSP certification through Evergreen Certifications. My focus is ADHD evaluation and medication management. I also treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
I have been a psychologist for 44 years and worn many hats: schools, private practice, clinics and agencies. Experience counts for a lot! I am dedicated to my patients reducing their suffering.
Humanistic therapist integrating mind, body, and spirit for whole-person healing. EMDR and Brainspotting trained to release trauma from the deep brain. You already have the power to heal-I'm here to help you unlock it
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed, holistic care for individuals seeking meaningful change.
I view therapy as a bridge — helping you move from the past to your desired future.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help you uncover and release patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve you. Instead of changing these patterns through force, we clear away the distortions to reveal the clarity underneath.
My goal is to walk alongside you on this leg of your healing journey, as you align your mind, body, spirit and actions.
