Hi there! My name is Jessica Parmar and I am a therapist who works with adults and teens. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher, which continues to shape how I connect, support, and engage with clients. I’m warm, approachable, and genuine, and I care deeply about the work we do together. I’ll meet you at your pace, but I’m not afraid to challenge you when it supports your growth.
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.
Hi there! I'm Lory Khoudikian. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 5 years of experience helping individuals, children, and families transform their lives. I earned my Bachelor's degree at University of California, Santa Barbara, with a minor in Applied Psychology. And then went on to receive my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University.
I have a passion for helping individuals heal from traumatic pain as well as nurture healing in children/families.
Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.
I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.
Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.
I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.
My name is Angelica Cano I am a licensed mental health therapist, LCSW, with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. My goal with each of my clients is to create a welcoming environment where they can begin their own healing journey. I believe each person can create positive changes for themselves through education, community, support and encouragement. As a first-generation Mexican American college graduate, I am passionate about helping the Latin-o/a/x community across every challenge life brings.
I'm a therapist offering in-person sessions in the Thousand Oaks area of Southern California, and telehealth to folks throughout California. I decided to become a therapist after many years of working in corporate America, and I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and LMFT license.
If you are looking to become a better, happier, and healthier person and would like to gain a deeper understanding and love for yourself and others, I can help you.
