ABOUT
Spaces Therapy is a relational psychotherapy practice based in Highland Park, Los Angeles.
Our team of highly relational therapists helps individuals and couples with issues of anxiety, stress, depression, loneliness, difficulty communicating, and relational intimacy find clarity in their struggles and cultivate healthier relationships with others, and with themselves. We are committed to creating warm, comfortable environments with genuine therapists that enable each person to show-up as themselves.
Our Values
EMPOWERMENT
We aim to empower local and global communities by donating a portion of each session fee to the Loveland Foundation, and one other charity each month, based on the current needs within our country and world.
SUSTAINABILITY
We aim to create an environment that leaves minimal impact on our planet. We source furniture and supplies that are gently used and earth-friendly. We also believe in sustainable living and promote balance for our team and our clients.
INCLUSIVITY
We aim to create a culture where all people are welcome. We work with, and strive to hire, persons of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural or ethnic backgrounds.
Our Approaches
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy brings a more rational lens to psychoanalytic therapy. Here, the relationship between therapist and client is key to helping process and heal past and present relational wounds.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is an advanced brain-body therapy based on the premise: 'where you look affects how you feel.' It finds eye positions that correlate with unconscious, emotional experiences to release residual trauma or emotional stress.
Attachment-Based Psychotherapy
We offer Attachment Assessments to help you uncover and explore your attachment style. We also utilize Attachment Theory in psychotherapy to find connections between your early life and difficult present experiences.
Depth-Oriented Psychotherapy
Depth therapy focuses on exploring aspects of your unconscious or parts of self that are difficult to access on your own. It's used to uncover unconscious thoughts or beliefs that impact your present situation.
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling is generally shorter term and aims to help you process loss. We also work to help you integrate that person into your life in ways that keep you connected to their memory.
Couples Counseling
Couples Counseling is for pairs needing to process anything from difficulty communicating to the future of their relationship. Together we'll explore each partners’ history and uncover tools tailored to your situation.
TRAUMA-FOCUSED THERAPY
Trauma-Focused therapy works to understand how past and ongoing physical and emotional traumas have impacted both your mind and body. We focus on developing skills that help to resolve the physical and emotional symptoms you may still carry with you.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. Our targeted approach focuses on specific memories, so we may do shorter-term EMDR therapy or use it alongside talk therapy.
