Is your trauma, PTSD, anxiety & grief constantly getting activated? Do you feel like you can never get beyond what has happened to you? Together we will create a warm, compassionate, and understanding environment to help you get in touch and learn how to deal with the rollercoaster of emotions. I have developed a unique approach through building the therapeutic relationship to work with individuals struggling with stress, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma response, and self- harm. My clinical experience, calm demeanor, and aspiration for trust, help build meaningful relationships with clients through exploration of life. I have been a clinical social worker since 2017 and have a life long history of working with children and families. My career as a social worker has taken me on many paths including child welfare, crisis response teams, hospital emergency room response, medical clinic behavioral health, hospice (most spiritual work ever), and meanwhile have always had my private pratice. I love to incorporate animal assisted therapy as who doesn't love dogs and horses? My speciality is working with trauma and I am constantly training to have the most up to date skills and be the best in my field.
I'm a first generation, South Asian woman. I'm a passionate expressive arts-integrative therapist. I best serve women, ages 25-35, who are coping with life stressors, trauma, or adjusting to a new phase in life. This journey isn't linear and can feel lonely and confusing, and the waves can be hard to manage. If you enjoy being in a validating and empathetic space while focusing on your strengths and creativity, I look forward to supporting you in finding tools to help you ride the waves. :)
Hello! I’m Eunice Virgen, a licensed clinical social worker based in Los Angeles, CA. For the last nine years, I’ve worked in public mental health programs with individuals who are living with chronic mental illnesses. For the last three years, I have been in private practice where I specialize helping women of color process life stressors, mental health problems, and generational traumas, so they can be more intentional in creating the life they desire.
Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.
Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself. It's finding someone who will actually understand the world you're living in. I'm Pia, a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with adults and seniors through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, new and expecting mothers, and people from diverse cultural and ethnic origins who have sometimes found mainstream therapy less than welcoming. I listen closely, and I work hard to make sure you feel genuinely seen from the very first session.
I’m an EMDR-certified therapist with additional certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I know that finding the right therapist is difficult. Especially when trauma and previous pain tells you you are alone, you are judged, and you are always unsafe. Though fear would like you to believe you are better off doing this on your own, you know it’s not true. To heal, we must feel seen and understood, with support and guidance. This is truly my passion and I love connecting with my clients and helping them meet their specific goals.
I have over ten years of working in mental health settings, including in leadership. I am confident and unafraid in walking through pain and unique “problems” with my clients. I have helped many find relief from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depressive symptoms, PTSD, relationship problems, and destructive ways of coping such as substance use.
