ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Torrance, CA

I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.

Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.

At the core of my work is this belief:

You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.

If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.

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.

Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, so taking this step already says a lot about your willingness to grow. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and patterns that can feel hard to break. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles or unsure why certain things keep coming up, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly the kind of work we can explore together.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or empty or even struggling to get through the day? I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I am a compassionate, understanding, and good listener. I help individuals navigate emotional struggles using a holistic and evidence-based approach to mental health care. I conduct psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and provide brief psychotherapy. I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, and coping skills. I love to support you in your journey to better mental health.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

Hi, I’m Rosekate, a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to partner with you to achieve your highest level of health and well-being.

What should you know about me?

"Above all else, I want you to know that I am here to truly listen to you."

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, it is easy to feel like just another symptom or a number on a chart. My practice is built on a foundation of deep empathy and active listening. I believe that you are the expert on your own body, and my job is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you feel genuinely heard, validated, and respected.

I have been a counselor, therapist, life coach and spiritual counselor for over 25 years. From my own personal transformation I've seen what is possible in healing oneself. My greatest desire is to stand with you to reach your highest sense of freedom and transformation.

Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.
