A Note About Diagnosis

While we use DSM-V diagnoses to communicate with psychiatrists or other members of your healthcare team, we recognize that diagnoses are often broad and imperfect. They don’t capture the full complexity or individuality of who you are. We use them as descriptive tools — not definitions of your identity.

Individual Therapy in Studio City & Online Across California

Because psychotherapy is a relational, insight-driven experience, having a clear and open field of connection is essential for real change. When we meet together, we create a space to explore, reflect, and build trust.

At Aligned Mind Therapy, we believe therapy is a living, dynamic process — one that’s shaped by the attention, care, and collaboration brought to each session. Our work is about understanding your experiences and uncovering the patterns that have shaped how you think, feel, and relate to others.

Therapy is also about behavioral and emotional change. We’ve all known people who have been in therapy for years but haven’t felt real improvement. In our sessions, we focus on crafting practical ways to disrupt unhelpful patterns, integrate insights, and reconnect you with your authentic self — who you are, and who you’d like to be.

We provide individual therapy for teens (14–17) and adults who are working through challenges such as:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

  • Performance Anxiety

  • Adult and Adolescent ADD

  • Phobias

  • Major Depressive Disorder (including treatment-resistant depression)

  • PTSD

  • Borderline Personality Disorder

  • Dependent Personality Disorder

  • Sex Addiction

  • Grief & Complex Bereavement

  • International Adoptive Parenting

Understanding Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a space just for you — a place to slow down, reflect, and process what’s happening internally and externally. Through a collaborative, compassionate approach, we’ll help you identify patterns, gain new insights, and build coping tools that support your growth and wellbeing.

Common reasons people seek individual therapy include:

  • Anxiety or chronic worry

  • Stress and burnout

  • Past trauma or unresolved experiences

  • Life transitions or identity changes

  • Relationship challenges

  • Low self-esteem or perfectionism

  • Desire for personal growth and self-understanding

“Happiness is when your thoughts, emotions, and actions are in alignment with your values and your authentic self.”
