Trauma Therapy & EMDR
in Valley Village, CA

Most people who find us look fine on the outside and feel off on the inside. Capable, high-functioning, carrying more than they let on. If you have done some therapy already and want to go deeper than coping skills, or you are carrying something that feels older than your own life, you are probably in the right place. The easiest way to find out is a short call with us, where you will get a real sense of whether this feels like your kind of room.

Depth therapy works with the whole of you, including the parts you do not consciously see yet. Instead of only managing symptoms, we look at what those symptoms are pointing to. A pattern that keeps repeating is rarely about willpower. It is usually about something underneath that has not been given words yet. The work is psychodynamic and Jungian at its roots, which means we care as much about meaning and integration as about relief. You get both.

EMDR is a well-researched therapy that helps the brain reprocess memories that got stuck. When something overwhelming happens, it can stay lodged in the nervous system as if it is still happening now. EMDR uses guided eye movements or gentle tapping to help those memories settle into the past where they belong. We integrate it inside depth work rather than running it as a standalone protocol, so the relief holds and actually means something.

Honestly, it depends on what you are carrying and what you want from the work. Some people come for a focused piece and feel real movement in a few months. Others stay longer because they want depth, not just a quick fix. We meet weekly, fifty to fifty-five minutes, and we talk openly about your pace and your goals as we go. You are never locked into anything.

Yes. We see clients in person in Valley Village and Santa Ana, as well as virtually across California, Florida, Virginia, and Idaho. Our team works in five languages: English, Hebrew, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish. So distance and language are rarely the thing that keeps people from starting.

Our full-fee rate runs $200 to $300 per session depending on the clinician and whether the work is individual or for a couple or family. Some of our clinicians hold a few reduced-fee slots, so please ask if cost is a concern. We are out-of-network, which means we do not bill insurance directly. Working this way lets your therapy stay unhurried and fully your own: no session caps, non-pathologizing, no third party deciding how long your healing should take. Many clients use their out-of-network benefits, and we send a monthly superbill to make that simple.
