Find the right therapist for you in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is known as the show business capital of the world, and it’s no mystery why people from all over the world flock to Southern California to bask in the warm weather, look to catch a glimpse of their favorite Hollywood celebrities, or try to land a big break of their own.

However, it’s not all sunshine, glitz, and glamour in L.A.- living in the “City of Angels” presents a litany of issues that can leave you feeling down and out. Out of California’s entire population, data from 2018 estimated that 17% have been diagnosed with some type of mental health issue - and data from 2014 indicated that 4.3% of the adult population in Los Angeles (as well as 7.8% of children in L.A. county) have been diagnosed with serious mental illnesses.

Therapy is one of the most effective methods for revitalizing your happiness and mental health overall. Finding a therapist with whom you can build a strong and trusting relationship is an essential piece of that process.

So how can you find the best therapist for you in Los Angeles? It can be a daunting task - like sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 405, trying to guess which lane will move the fastest. And just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, all the other lanes start moving past you.

Look no further, though, because you’re in the right place! TherapyDen makes it simple to find therapists in L.A. that fit what you’re looking for.

Where should I start?

First, you should take some time to consider what issue (or issues) you want to work on with a therapist.

Maybe you’ve just moved to L.A., but you feel like you stick out like a sore thumb, and you can’t stop thinking about your friends and family back home. You’re not alone, and there are a great deal of therapists who can help! Looking for someone who can address depression, stress, or adjustment disorder is a perfect place to start your search.

Los Angeles is a notoriously expensive place to live, and managing such a high cost of living can be a formidable stressor to deal with. Finding a mental health professional who specializes in anxiety or job stress can help you address and cope with the overwhelm these challenges may cause.

Living in L.A. can also test the strength and resilience of your family. Whether you’re feeling strain on your marriage or relationship, having co-parenting issues, experiencing family conflict, or navigating a divorce - there are therapists in Los Angeles who specialize in these issues and are ready to work with you.

While it’s considered one of the more progressive cities in California (and even the United States), L.A. is still rife with a wide variety of systemic inequality and racial justice problems. Using therapy as a tool to address issues such as cultural and systemic oppression, white privilege, and immigration and acculturation is a great way to start working on such complex and important topics.

What if I need a specific type of therapy?

TherapyDen has a wide variety of search filters you can use to hone in on therapists that provide the exact services you’re looking for. In just a few clicks, you can narrow down your search to professionals who work with individuals, couples, groups, or entire families in Los Angeles. Need to specify whether you want online or in-person sessions? You guessed it, there’s a filter for that, too. You can even filter by cost and which types of insurance are accepted!

Now that I’ve found some therapists that may be a good fit, what do I do next?

TherapyDen’s therapist profiles are designed to help you get to know each therapist (before you even reach out to them). Just click their name and you’ll find a great deal of helpful information, such as where their practice is located in L.A., their clinical background and experience, the techniques they use, the issues they treat, and more.

When you’re ready to contact the therapist about an appointment or initial consultation, you can send them an email directly from their TherapyDen profile. Tell them a little bit about yourself and what you’re looking for, as well as any other pertinent questions that will help both you and the therapist assess if it will be a good fit.
