THERAPY FOR CREATIVES IN LOS FELIZ

For the dreamers, the feelers, the ones who think differently.

THERAPY FOR CREATIVES

Mastering Your Mind,
Unlocking Your Art

Your mind moves fast. Ideas spark at all hours. You feel deeply, love intensely, and sometimes struggle with focus, follow-through, or rest. You might be juggling ADHD, perfectionism, imposter syndrome—or all three—while still trying to create something meaningful in the world.

You don’t want to just cope. You want to thrive, to create, and to live a life that actually feels like yours.

Emma, a Los Feliz-based therapist and performer, supports creative professionals locally and online in Oregon and California

Hi, I’m Emma!

You can’t be creative if your nervous system is in fight or flight mode.

Creativity flows best when we feel calm and safe. From my experience as both a therapist and an actor, I’ve seen how stress can block creativity.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m immersed in comedy, improv, and stand-up, and I love bringing the insights from both fields together. By helping others regulate their nervous system, I enable them to unlock their creative potential with ease.

In therapy for creatives, you can:

Learn tools to help regulate your nervous system

Learn how your neurodivergent brain works—and work with it, not against it

Heal the internalized shame or pressure from not "fitting the mold"

Break cycles of burnout and procrastination

Cultivate routines that nourish, not restrict

Reconnect with your creative voice, your body, and your self-worth

How I Work

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in curiosity and compassion. I integrate modalities like

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

to help you process stuck trauma and shift long-held beliefs

IFS (Internal Family Systems)

to build a deeper relationship with your inner parts and restore self-trust

Mindfulness and somatic practices

to bring awareness and regulation to your nervous system

Attachment-focused talk therapy

to heal relationship wounds and reconnect with your core self

Together, we’ll move at your pace. Some sessions might focus on skills and tools for the present moment. Others might go deeper—gently exploring your past to understand how it shows up now.

What to Expect

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Consultation (Free, 20 mins)
    We’ll connect briefly by phone to see if we’re a good fit and talk through any questions you may have.

  2. First Session (60 mins)
    We’ll explore what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping for. You don’t need a perfect narrative—just honesty, curiosity, and openness.

  3. Ongoing Sessions
    Most clients attend weekly or biweekly sessions, depending on your needs and goals. You’ll set the pace and direction—we’ll work as a team.

You’re not too much. You’re not too scattered. You’re not failing.

You’re just ready for a new way forward—and therapy can help you get there.
