Miracle Mile Therapy specializes in providing LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, which is is an approach to therapy that is specifically designed to support and affirm the unique experiences and needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. This means that we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. To understand the difference between being affirmative and being “friendly” requires specialized training, which means sometimes well-intentioned clinicians can do harm and cause clients to feel unsafe opening up in the therapy room. We approach every clinical setting affirmatively. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, having a therapist who understands and affirms your identity is vital for the progression of treatment and the therapeutic relationship.

As an LGBTQ-owned practice, we understand that the LGBTQ+ community faces unique challenges and barriers to mental health care. We also recognize that traditional therapy approaches may not always be sensitive to the needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals. That's why we are dedicated to providing therapy that is specifically tailored to the LGBTQ+ community.

LGBTQ affirmative therapy is important because it recognizes the unique challenges and discrimination that LGBTQ+ individuals may face, and provides a safe and supportive environment for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. This type of therapy can be especially helpful for LGBTQ+ individuals who have experienced stigma, discrimination, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy also helps to promote understanding and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals within the therapy setting. By providing a supportive and affirming environment, LGBTQ affirmative therapy can help to break down barriers and foster a sense of connection and understanding between therapist and client.

If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community and are seeking therapy, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to provide the support and guidance you deserve to confidently thrive.

Traumatic experiences cannot be defined objectively, as each client can identify their own traumatic experiences that different from one person to the next. Trauma can be described as acute (a single event/incident), chronic (a specific type of traumatic incident recurring over a period of time), or complex (varied or multiple traumatic events, including traumatic invalidation).

There are a variety of approaches for trauma-informed care, and our priority is to treat each client seeking trauma treatment with respect, unconditional positive regard, sensitivity without fragility, and radical genuineness. We are proud have therapists who are trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and prolonged exposure therapy (PE) to our clients. These evidence-based approaches have been proven to be highly effective in treating a variety of mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and traumatic memories.

EMDR is a holistic therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or audio tones) to help individuals process and integrate difficult memories and experiences. This approach can help clients reduce the intensity of negative emotions and beliefs, and improve their overall functioning.

Prolonged exposure therapy is another effective treatment for PTSD, anxiety, and phobias. This approach involves gradually and systematically exposing individuals to the things they fear or avoid, in a safe and controlled environment. This can help clients overcome their fears and reduce their symptoms, leading to improved wellbeing.

If you are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, phobias, or other related concerns, we can help you work through your experiences and find relief. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us to discuss your needs and determine if our practice is the right fit for you. We look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey towards healing and growth.

At our practice, we have a special interest in working with individuals who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is, at its core, a form of attachment trauma. Individuals with BPD are often biologically more sensitive and have been repeatedly invalidated by their environment. People with BPD may have been told things like: “Stop being dramatic!”, “Normal people don’t react this way”, “You’re too much!”, “You shouldn’t be this upset,” etc. With a radically authentic and validating approach, we want to help support you in creating a life you feel is worth living. This includes practicing mindfulness in order to live fully in the present moment without judgment or distraction; learning how to skillfully tolerate distress in times of crisis without making the situation worse; understanding how to identify emotions and change the relationship to them; and learning how to effectively ask for what you want and say no while maintaining self-respect and improving your relationship with others.

Our team of experienced therapists has extensive training in the treatment of BPD, and we use evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help our clients find relief from their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. We understand that living with BPD can be incredibly challenging, and we are here to provide compassionate and understanding support. We work with our clients to help them develop healthy coping skills, improve their relationships, and find a sense of stability and control in their lives.

If you or a loved one are struggling with BPD, please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your needs and help you determine if our practice is the right fit for you. We look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey towards healing and growth.

We understand that anxiety can be overwhelming and debilitating, and we are here to help you overcome it. Whether it’s social anxiety, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or something else—anxiety can feel crippling at times. Sometimes you might know exactly what the fear is, and sometimes it feels like the fear is everything and nothing at the same time.

Our team of therapists are trained in a variety of evidenced-based treatments for anxiety disorders, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. We will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

Whether you want to simply better understand your anxious thoughts or want to change your relationship to them all together, we are here to help. Anxiety can lead to avoidance of getting important needs met, isolation, low self-esteem, and relationship issues. Seeking treatment is the first step in learning how to get your needs met, which in itself can eradicate the anxiety with the threats no longer present.

If you are struggling with anxiety, we invite you to reach out to our team for support. We are here to help you gain control of your anxiety and live a more fulfilling and fulfilling life.

Sometimes the use of substances or other behaviors can become unmanageable. While loved ones can express concern and treatment providers can provide honest input, only you can decide that you are struggling with addiction and need support. If you decide the behavior is a problem, we’re here to help. We use an empathetic, radically genuine, and direct approach to help you navigate sobriety or harm reduction depending on your needs—we will meet you where you are at. Through our experiences prior to and throughout our time as clinicians, we have built strong relationships with high quality residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, and addiction psychiatrists in the Los Angeles area. We can provide individualized support for adults and adolescents struggling with addiction, and will work with your other treatment providers to use a team approach in providing you with the highest quality of care.
