If you are navigating the quiet weight of relationship wounds, identity
questions, or emotional patterns that have followed you for years without
fully understanding why, I specialize in exactly this kind of work. I am a
Latina therapist who provides services in Spanish and English, bringing a
culturally affirming lens to every session. I practice in Santa Clarita with
specialized tools including Brainspotting and IFS for deeper healing.
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.
I'm a therapist offering in-person sessions in the Westlake Village 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 an LMFT license.
I partner with clients to support healing, growth, and positive transformation. I offer an intimate space that’s grounded in empathy and curiosity. But I'm also real, direct, and sometimes a little playful. Therapy with me isn’t stiff or clinical; it's human, heartfelt, and intuitive. I’ve helped clients reframe and navigate anxiety, chronic illness, trauma, depression, and shame, offering relief from painful symptoms and limiting beliefs. I’m EMDR trained and bring over 25 years of yoga and meditation practice into the room with us.
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.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Ventura County, California. Since 2019, I’ve worked with older adolescents and adults across the state through Telehealth, as well as in person in my Westlake Village office. My clinical specialties include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
A bit about me personally: I’m an avid animal lover and proud dog mama to a boxer named Kevin!
Hi, I'm Magda. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Antioch University Los Angeles. I'm a culturally sensitive Latina therapist who is passionate about helping people better understand themselves and the challenges they're facing. 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.
Hi. I'm Breanne and I am a LMFT in California. I enjoy working with individuals (15+) who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives.
My clinical experience has allowed me to uncover my interest in working with those impacted by mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder. I earned my BA in Psychology from San Diego State University and went on to obtain my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I specialize in working with adults with stress, depression, and anxiety. I also work with couples and families to improve communication, lessen conflict, and create healthy family dynamics.
I am a recently licensed counseling psychologist with extensive training and experience in psychotherapy, assessment, and psychology research. I have provided individual, couples, and group therapy at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center (now LGBT Center), the Los Angeles VA, the Boston VA, and Enki Health Services. I have enjoyed training and supervising student therapists at the University of West Georgia and the University of Redlands. I also teach psychology at UCLA Extension. In general, I am curious about the the human mind and I am dedicated to help others who are struggling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Van Nuys
Finding therapists in Van Nuys starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience align with what you want to focus on. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Van Nuys has access to mental health care across the San Fernando Valley, including nearby areas like Sherman Oaks, Panorama City, and North Hills. Local therapist availability may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care based in California. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect in a first appointment.
Therapy in Van Nuys can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Van Nuys, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
