What we see as flaws often echo patterns rooted in early experiences that shaped our connections with ourselves and others. Trauma, unknowingly, informs these unconscious ways of being that once helped us navigate emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.

Hi there, I’m Natasha. I offer creative, attachment-informed, and neurodivergent-friendly therapy for children, teens, and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, burnout, and relationship challenges.
I have extensive experience working in both residential and outpatient settings. My approach blends curiosity, warmth, and creativity, helping clients feel deeply seen while building tools to move toward meaningful change.

After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.
If you are navigating the quiet weight of relationship wounds, identity
questions, or emotional patterns that have followed you for years without

specialized tools including Brainspotting and IFS for deeper healing.
Aloha nui loa, and welcome to new possibilities, as you step through the threshold of conscious self-care. Congratulation on taking that first step in reaching out for help. Let's start that process together by creating a treatment plan that will address your needs.

I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating.

I'm Dr. Jack Sample, a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles offering psychodynamic, depth-oriented therapy at my office in Hollywood.

I’m a clinical psychologist (doctor) in Ventura county, California, with over 25 years of experience and a practice designed to feel calm, human, and welcoming. Many of the patients I work with come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, depressed, or stuck. They may be navigating trauma, grief, relationship pain, major life transitions, or the quiet weight of having tried to manage too much for too long. My work is for people who are ready for something deeper than just getting through the day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, focused on real life, not just symptoms.
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am deeply committed to fostering a space of trust and openness where clients can explore their life challenges and grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Westlake Village
Searching for therapists in Westlake Village starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support for. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Westlake Village therapists, look at each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Westlake Village is a smaller community, so the number of nearby in-person appointments may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a California-licensed therapist. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, what sessions may look like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.
Therapy in Westlake Village can be a significant investment 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 take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare available in-person and virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
