About
A different kind of therapy practice.
We founded Self Help LA / OC because we believed Southern California needed a practice that combined the depth of psychodynamic work with the structure of evidence-based protocols — without the institutional feel.
Our standard
Every therapist on our team is California-licensed (LMFT, LCSW, or PsyD), trained in The M.I.N.D. Method™, and personally vetted by our clinical director. We hire roughly 1 of every 40 applicants.
Our promise
You will leave each session with something concrete — a reframe, a practice, a piece of clarity. No vague therapy. No open-ended drift. A clear arc, from the first session.
