South Pasadena Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Lauren Permenter

Early experiences influence the way we act and engage in the world. Without time to reflect we can get stuck in habits and patterns that are meant to protect us but prevent us from true connection with others and the present. Together we will identify root causes of the behaviors and repeated actions that no longer serve you. We will practice being vulnerable. Clients who are serious about making changes while maintaining a sense of humor when needed will do well in this practice together.

Holly Evans

I work with women and feminine identifying people who have experienced traumas (C-PTSD, PTSD, sexual, physical, emotional abuse, birth related traumas, infertility/pregnancy loss, TFMR, NICU experience, infant loss); and parents experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Justin Wong

Life can often be stressful and challenging. You’re here because you’re dissatisfied with something in your life and feel stuck. It could be persistent anxiety, excessive sadness, a difficult memory, or a relationship issue. Perhaps it has been hard to gather the motivation to make positive changes in your life. Having better control over your mood can often seem hopeless, but you CAN make things better.

Ericka Logan Moreno

My clients are the perfect combination of moody/sarcastic with a heavy dose of dry/dark humor. They struggle to show up as their authentic self because they're burdened with feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy of happiness. They compare themselves to others, experience negative thoughts, low motivation and suffer from anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. Despite a guarded exterior, they yearn for someone to acknowledge their pain. Starting therapy has helped them process pain and thrive.

Davina Kotulski

Molly Burrets

I work with couples and women - helping them to build healthier relationships and work on common painful issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, trauma, transition to parenthood, perinatal concerns, infertility, sexual problems, difficulty communicating, past sexual abuse, and other stressors. Many of my clients are high achieving professionals in entertainment, art, law, finance, and sport that have challenges juggling work responsibilities with their roles in the home.

Darshana Lele

You've survived a lot in life, but struggle to feel like it's behind you. You are usually the one emotionally taking care of others, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, & yet never feel good-enough. Have you been marginalized? Scared of having a 'target' on your back or afraid of being found out? That's lonely but as much as you love being around others, they drain you. If you are fed up of living for others, I am someone who wants to help you feel safe, be successful & most importantly, happy.

Kyla Winner-Connor

I have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and more. I am certified in several modalities including CBT and IPT and integrate these with many other approaches such as mindfulness, self-compassion and somatic work. I also pull from concepts such as attachment theory, interpersonal and affective neurobiology, and the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Dana Zaredini

I offer my clients opportunities to learn about self-care, mindfulness, meditation, and how to lessen the impacts of negative self-talk. I work with children, adults, and families. I help my clients learn to cope and heal from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, trauma, and histories of abuse (sexual/psychological/emotional/physical). I also enjoys working with adult children of alcoholics, grief and loss, and caregiver stress.

Brian Benjamin

The clients I work with are diverse. My work with children often includes engaging in play-based interventions as well as integrating the larger family unit into treatment. When engaging with older clients, I assist them by coming into contact with parts of themselves to ultimately identify and pursue their goals. My clients benefit from various therapeutic approaches to gain insight and awareness about their present selves from their past experiences and relationships.

Natalie Moore

I do my best work with creative millennials looking to overcome the challenges of living with anxiety. I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy blending Western psychology principles with Eastern philosophies of healing. Clients leave my office with more clarity, ease and emotional resilience.

Claudia Narvaez-Meza

Claudia completed The New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care - Foundations Program, where she offered spiritual care and counsel for the sick, dying and their families.

Lane Assaf

Do you feel disconnected? Are you anxious, overwhelmed or hurting? Are your relationships suffering? If any of this rings true for you, you've come to the right place! I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I will collaborate with you, explore past experiences that have shaped who you are today, and figure out what's keeping you from living the life you want. Together, we can address these issues and help you get back on track.

Kim Bielak

I frequently work with clients experiencing high stress, high anxiety, and the effects of childhood trauma, and aim to create a space where you can finally slow down, relax your grip, and become aware of the unconscious processes currently running your life. I also work a great deal with couples to understand the very same unconscious processes running their relationships.

Andres Chou

When you feel stuck or overwhelmed, you don't want to settle for generic solutions. I provide therapy that addresses your unique struggles so that you can move toward greater confidence and deeper connection. Maybe you're suffering from an unbearable loss or a painful past experience. Perhaps you feel disconnected and lonely. Maybe you feel lost at work. This isn't how you imagined your life to be. I'm here to help guide you through.

Regina Hernandez

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, emotions like anxiety, depression, and anger can leave you feeling drained or lonely. You do not have to navigate those feelings by yourself. I work with clients from a non-judgmental, empathic, and compassionate approach. Providing a safe space where clients can feel supported. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

Kelsey Blazak

If you are struggling and seeking therapy to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a life transition, trauma, or any number of difficulties, you are not alone. We all need some extra support at various points in life. Therapy can be an amazingly supportive, meaningful, and exploratory process—a space to unpack all of life’s complexities. We’ll work collaboratively to address your needs and goals, while holding space for your mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual well-being.

Nick Johnston

I work with folks who desire to work through with a wide spectrum of barriers and challenges. I have particular interest and experience working with survivors of trauma, major life transitions, depression and anxiety. I also have experience working with individuals in the arts and creative fields.

Rebecca Bruno

I work with people along their path to self understanding and healing. Together, we relate with internal images, landscapes of thought and emotion to deepen your relationship with psyche in a process of coming home to yourself. Many, though not all, of the people I see are highly sensitive and empathic, and sometimes struggle to feel a sense of belonging within their families of origin and relationships.
