Echo Park Creative Psychology
Detox your mind
The world can be a toxic place, so it’s no surprise there’s so much negativity built up in your head. You’ve been living with the recent stress of a global pandemic, not to mention the lifelong stresses of white supremacy, patriarchy, anti-fat bias, transphobia, ableism, and colorism. Starting therapy with us means that you can begin to find ways to heal and feel stronger, despite living in a toxic world.
You deserve a safe space
You spend a lot of time trying to be what other people want you to be – constantly contorting yourself to fit into whatever box society decides to put you in. But, you can’t fully connect to your feelings or figure out what you want if you don’t first feel safe. You deserve to have a space where someone else is making the adjustment to understand and take care of you.
You can have way, way more
Being in therapy helps you recognize that you tend to settle for less than you actually need and tolerate painful situations for longer than you should. As you begin to heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma, you will start being able to say things you never could before. You deserve to start prioritizing yourself and feeling good about your life.

Our Journey
Building a Sanctuary
for Creatives
Creatives often face unique challenges, struggling to find a place where they can truly feel at home, heal, and connect with others. Recognizing this need, we envisioned an office space specifically designed for creative minds. In 2018, we embarked on a journey to bring this vision to life.
We discovered a raw space in the heart of Echo Park. This empty shell of a building, with its cracked floors and dusty remnants of the past, might have seemed like an unlikely choice to some. But to us, it was brimming with potential. We saw not just a dilapidated structure, but a canvas where we could create a vibrant, welcoming community.
With determination and a lot of hard work, we transformed the space. We rolled up our sleeves, poured our hearts into the renovation, and breathed new life into every corner. What once was an abandoned space is now a warm, inviting haven for creatives.
Today, our practice is a place where creatives heal every day through one-on-one therapy, couples therapy, and supportive groups. We’ve built a community where individuals can share their experiences, grow together, and find the support they need. Helping people heal and thrive is not just our mission; it's our passion and fulfillment. Here, we celebrate the journey of healing and the incredible resilience of the creative spirit.
We are driven to change the world for the better.
