I'm Eve M. Sanoussi (she/her), an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a M.S. in Psychology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. While working toward my degree, I received rigorous psychodynamic training at Airport Marina Counseling Service, where I learned how to sit with not only what's on the surface but what lies underneath it.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, my greatest passion was writing. I spent 10 years in book publishing, much of it shopping my own stories and essays around. I know what it's like to chase a creative passion; to feel like you'll never be good enough even when you're thriving by other measures; to face rejections so painful you consider quitting.
I work with adults and couples navigating perfectionism, creative blocks, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in writers and other creatives, having spent a decade in that realm myself. I also work with depression, anxiety, and relationship strain, including codependent and enmeshed patterns.
My approach is psychoanalytic, depth-oriented, and relational. This means I'll pay close attention not only to what's going on in your life but to what emerges in the room between us. We'll examine your relational patterns, your fantasies and dreams, and the ways you've learned to protect yourself. With couples, I tend to use emotionally-focused techniques, because I believe that by baring ourselves to our partners, fully and completely, we can learn to walk toward one another.
I'm trained as a yoga teacher, and that also shapes how I work. Often, the body can be a reservoir of pain, anger, resentment; so, we’ll make room for that in session. I am very passionate about serving folks from the LGBTQIA+, kink, ENM/poly, and sex worker communities, and invite all your identities to come alive in the room. My style is warm, intuitive, and gently challenging—when you're ready for it.

I'm Alissa Evans, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for supporting adults through life's transitions,. with a special interest in working with creatives and individuals healing from complex PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is about reconnecting with the authentic self beneath the adaptations that once helped us survive. Liminal spaces are often the most fertile ground for transformation and when we have support during these times, it can feel like linking arms with a guide and a candle in the dark.
As a working musician that began my career later in life, I am a champion for closet creatives or any artist that feels stuck, stagnant and is ready to reignite their passion. My energy naturally catalyzes people and brings clarity and direction.

I’m Clemmy McWilliam-Le Busque, AMFT #152066. I arrived at psychotherapy through a lot of lived experience: fine art, an MA in Creative Writing, owning a bar on a Greek island, communal living in LA, a few marriages, the rinse‑and‑repeat cycle of addiction, and a few other detours.
I work online with adults (18+) and couples across California. I can help if you’re stuck in a deepening rut; in a relationship circling the drain; or living a life that looks functional but is drowning you in responsibilities. I favor practical solutions, but I don’t have an instruction manual—together we’ll figure out what’s not working and what you’re willing to change. I have a fondness for LGBTQ+ folks exploring identity and self‑worth; people questioning their relationship to substances, a device, or a person; and creative or unconventional people whose work, identity, or life path isn’t linear.
My approach blends Existential, Buddhist, Humanistic, and Narrative therapy. You’re the expert on your own life; the 50 minutes are yours. I also like to laugh a lot—not to avoid the hard stuff, but because acknowledging the absurdity of being human is necessary. If this sounds like a good fit, get in touch for a free 15‑minute consult.

I believe in the transformative power of art and deeply understand the challenges creatives face—addiction, anxiety, procrastination, and the search for identity in an ever-evolving world. With over 15 years in the music industry—including roles at Interscope, Atlantic Records, The Tonight Show, and as an artist manager—I combine industry insight with a master's in clinical psychology. This unique blend allows me to offer a holistic, personalized approach as a therapist and substance use disorder counselor, helping artists find clarity, resilience, and creative fulfillment.
Andy Studer, M.A., AMFT - available for virtual therapy appointments statewide in California. In-person appointments available in Los Angeles & Culver City, CA
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a BFA in Music Composition from CalArts. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the entertainment industry as a string arranger and violinist, collaborating with artists such as Yuna and Kevin Olusola, and performing on platforms like NPR’s Tiny Desk. As a certified Suzuki violin educator, I’ve worked with hundreds of families, integrating music pedagogy into distinct family systems.
My work as a therapist is deeply informed by my background in the arts. I take a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that is person centered and grounded in depth psychology. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families at The Maple Counseling Center, supporting clients in exploring their gender, neurodivergent, and multicultural identities.
Having been raised by a first-generation immigrant mother, I understand the complexities of navigating a multicultural existence within current, dominant societal narratives. I work as an advocate for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, and strive to create a therapeutic process rooted in compassion, creativity, and mindfulness—one that is ultimately life-affirming.
Teri Langer, MSW, ASW (she/her) - available for virtual therapy appointments statewide in California. In-person appointments available in Los Angeles, CA
Teri works with fast minds, heavy hearts, and creative spirits — people who are self-aware yet still feel stuck, dysregulated, or exhausted from carrying more than most can see. Her integrative approach blends traditional modalities such as ACT, CBT, and IFS with somatic practices like Brainspotting and energy-based work. This allows individuals to ease survival patterns, release energetic blocks, and reconnect with clarity, balance, and self-trust.
As an associate psychotherapist, Teri’s style is collaborative, intuitive, and trauma-informed. She creates a spacious and attuned environment where people can soften patterns like looping thoughts, perfectionism, or shutdown, and begin moving toward lasting change.
Before becoming a therapist, Teri spent over two decades working with adults with developmental disabilities and autism — serving as a director in social service agencies and leading human resources and training initiatives. She has coached executives, facilitated education for service providers, and advocated for neurodivergent and marginalized communities. This work shaped her core values of accessibility, dignity, and honoring each person’s unique inner world.

Anthony Fontana is a psychotherapist who works at the intersection of emotional well-being, creativity, and performance. Before becoming a therapist, he spent many years in the entertainment industry as a performer, internationally renowned vocal coach, casting professional, and talent manager. Those experiences continue to shape how he supports artists and industry professionals navigating pressure, visibility, burnout, and the challenge of staying connected to themselves in high-expectation environments.
Anthony works with individuals and couples, with a particular focus on artists, creatives, and high-achieving entertainment professionals seeking greater balance, clarity, and connection. His approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT Skills, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Narrative Therapy. At the heart of his work is a simple belief: you are not broken — and meaningful change becomes possible when you feel seen, safe, and supported.
In addition to psychotherapy, Anthony also specializes as a Somatic Trauma Therapist grounded in mindfulness and trauma-informed care. Anthony incorporates various somatic approaches in his work with clients such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Trauma and Tension Release Exercises (TRE), EMDR, breathwork, and yoga therapy. By working with both the mind and nervous system, therapy becomes a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned.

In addition to his work as a psychotherapist, Anthony is also a Certified Holistic Peak Performance Coach, Reiki Master, and Yoga Therapist.
I’m Mack Hayden, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, and I still occasionally have to pinch myself that this is what I get to do for a living. I came to therapy through a long, winding road that included years as a writer, a deep love of stories, music, and art, and a persistent curiosity about why being human feels so hard sometimes. I’ve spent plenty of time on the other side of the couch myself, so I know how vulnerable it can feel to walk into a room (or log onto a screen) and start telling the truth.
My approach to therapy draws from ACT for the practical, day-to-day work of living, and Existential Therapy for the bigger questions about meaning, identity, and how the hell we’re supposed to live with uncertainty. I also integrate ideas from depth psychology, IFS, DBT, Buddhism, and good old-fashioned curiosity. I’m especially interested in how the stories we tell ourselves—about who we are, what we’re allowed to want, and what we deserve—shape our lives for better or worse.
I work with individuals and couples navigating depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, religious trauma, people-pleasing patterns, and creative blocks. My style is warm, collaborative, and human. I believe change happens through honesty, compassion, and the occasional well-timed laugh—and I’d be honored to help you find your way forward.
