I have an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica as well as an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children and am LGBTQ+ affirmative. One of my specialties is using EMDR for the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression.
I've always been fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit. If you are working through what happened without judgment and identity what could help you keep going.
My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.

Hello and welcome! I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples who face obstacles with sexual health, intimacy, mood disorders, communication, disabilities and life stressors. Sexual health can be impacted by a variety of issues from anxiety, depression, mismatched libidos, lack of education and understanding, orientation, identity and society. My knowledge is quite diverse, as are the clients I work with. I use anecdotal stories to engage with and connect to my clients. I look forward to meeting you!
As a licensed psychologist for 30 years, I am passionate about helping people struggling with life challenges find joy and stability.
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and adult individuals. I work collaboratively to explore the underlying negative patterns that cause you to feel stuck. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, therapy can be a powerful space to gain insight and feel less alone.
Having been in therapy myself, I've experienced firsthand its positive impact, helping me overcome my anxiety and equipping me with practical tools I still use today. I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating. Drawing from my personal experience both as a therapy client and practitioner in a treatment center setting, I bring energy into my sessions and build momentum to help clients get unstuck and face their Anxiety & OCD with confidence.
One of my joys in life is making a positive difference in my client's lives. Maybe you’ve tried everything; talking to friends/family, reading self-help books, ignoring the problem hoping it will go away, or just accepting how things are and yet you are feeling unhappy and stuck. I believe there is hope for you, a life filled with love, fulfillment and fun. I've had a variety of life experiences (good, not so good) that's given me wisdom and insights about people/life. I work with couples, women/men issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD. I'll travel with you on your journey of healing/growth with understanding and compassion.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.
Hi, I'm Magda. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Antioch University Los Angeles.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or feeling stuck in life, we'll work together to uncover patterns, build insight, and strengthen your confidence. I believe meaningful change can happen when you feel truly seen and understood.
When working with clients, I strive to make the therapy experience respectful and genuine. Everyone's journey to personal resilience is unique and there is no one size fits all solution. My approach is flexible and client centered. I often explore childhood attachment issues which can assist the client in achieving sustained emotional growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sierra Madre
Searching for therapists in Sierra Madre starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, structure sessions, and work with people who have similar concerns.
Sierra Madre is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in Pasadena or other parts of the San Gabriel Valley. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit from their profile.
Therapy in Sierra Madre can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
