Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Redondo Beach, CA

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-awareness. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I believe therapy is a place to feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

As your therapist, my purpose is to guide you to uncover your inherent potential and see the best version of you even when it may be hard to see it in yourself. I am dedicated to nurturing the vision of your ideal life while guiding you on the path to realizing your true self. I firmly believe that everyone is destined to lead a life filled that brings them joy and peace, and regardless of your background, experiences, or current perceptions of your capabilities, there is always room for self-forgiveness, self-love, and substantial personal growth.

When life feels heavier than it should—when your relationship is strained, the path to parenthood feels painful, parenting feels overwhelming, divorce leaves you untethered, or success at work still leaves you feeling stuck—you don’t have to sort through it alone. In addition to working with couples and individuals, I work with startup founders/executives/corporate professionals to drive better outcomes in their professional and personal lives. I offer a warm, collaborative space to help you heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I also support women who are going through infertility.

Hey, I'm really glad you're here.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so my first goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease. I'm not here to judge or tell you what to do — I’m here to listen, support you, and figure things out together.

My style is pretty laid-back, warm, and real. I’ll meet you where you’re at, and we'll work together to help you move toward where you want to be. I pull from a few different approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and somatic tools that help with nervous system regulation — but honestly, it all comes down to finding what works best for you.

Clients often tell me they feel really safe with me, like they can just be themselves without having to filter or explain everything. I love helping people reconnect with their own strength, especially those navigating ADHD, trauma, perfectionism, or the pressure of being a first-generation success story. (All things I get on a personal level too.)

If you're looking for a space where you can be yourself, talk things through, and feel supported while you make real changes, I’d love to connect.

I'm a psychologist helping clients to navigate transition and overcome destructive patterns. I have expertise in treating anxiety, ocd, adhd, trauma, depression, addiction, recovery, and relationship challenges. I've had a private practice for over 10 years and work with adult clients at all stages of life. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies, with intensive training at the Portia Bell Hume Center, Kaiser, UCSF, VA and the Jung Institute.

I use a strength-based, holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes how trauma affects behavior and development. I prioritize your needs and encourage partnership when establishing and meeting your treatment goals.

I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach. I'm patient and respect the time it takes to build trust. I believe words are powerful and help clients shift language patterns that feed negative thinking.

I’m Michele Ellis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the social, emotional, and psychological challenges people face. My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs—meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

Hello,

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (which means I have a doctorate and I do talk therapy, no medication assessment or prescribing) that loves working with women that are wanting to recover from disordered eating, body image challenges, or learning to travel with grief.

I work with you to find the right balance of radical acceptance, meeting you where you are at, with compassion, along with encouraging you to change and grow, where you would like to change and grow.
